This is the guy who wrote the Politico story about VP Harris preferring to used wire earbuds as opposed to using hackable Bluetooth earbuds and made it sound like she was nuts to do it.
I wonder if he knows VP Harris was born in Oakland and really only lived in San Francisco when she was the DA. I’m not sure choosing the SF Chronicle makes it “hometown” paper. And so what that she choses the SF Chronicle over the ones he listed?
But you got to love some of the responses….

Explain to me how the smash & grabs that have been happening in various cities is President Biden’s fault? And just how can the President of the United States stop what is happening? Same with COVID the best defense is to get vaccinated. But yet states are throwing up roadblocks and politicians are playing politics with ways to stop folks from getting and spreading the virus.
But somehow it’s all President Biden’s fault.
Its this deliberate ignorance or real ignorance that is eventually sink this country if these fools don’t wake up.

I think you are reading a lot into this that is probably not even accurate. For one thing, they are at a funeral and wearing masks. How do you know that he didn’t say something and we can’t see his lips move because of the mask? Everyone in that video is very still and formal. I also could see him switching seats with his wife so that it is spouse-VP-spouse-President. More of a formality than not wanting to sit next to Kamala. |

How about Biden wanted to sit next the Doles? He served with both Elizabeth and Bob.

I agree with this guy. There is a total disconnect how way too many voters vote and what is happening around them and the rest of the country.
“Dems stubbornly believe voters are fact-based decision-makers who base choices on reason rather than emotion.”

People are unhappy with President Biden’s handling of COVID. So what do you want done? Yeah, that's what I want to know! What should he be doing??? Things were a shit show thanks to Trump and his mishandling/downplaying of the pandemic in the early days, when he should have been "rallying the troops," and Trump supporters seem to be the most vocal about how poorly Biden is handling the shit HE freaking inherited. I don't get it... |

“Dems stubbornly believe voters are fact-based decision-makers who base choices on reason rather than emotion.” I don't believe that. I've always said Americans are led by their (often asinine and irrational) beliefs. That's why America will not be a superpower coming out of the 21st century. Too many Americans are easily led by beliefs rather than data/evidence/facts/reality. |

Too many Americans are easily led by beliefs rather than data/evidence/facts/reality. Beliefs are often dictated by emotion. While reason means people have to put on their thinking caps and actually think things through. Definition of reason “the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic.” This is sadly lacking in way too many of todays voters. So we are going to have agree to disagree on this. |

Let’s see how it’s this administration’s fault. Defund the police. Large democratic run cities allowing riots and consumer/business destruction for months. Allowing as in not stopping or decrying it. No bail and/or Democrats PAYING bail for rioters and other criminals. Letting felons out of jail in droves. Allowing (and beyond my comprehension) shoplifting up to $900.00 with no consequences. Defund the police and then blame the GOP for defunding the police. Idiot mayors blaming businesses for the theft in their stores because “they don’t provide enough police/security, “chain up their purses” and “lock up all of their expensive merchandise at night”. WTF!!! Other idiot mayors (looking at you Philadelphia and New York) actually going on camera and saying ( with a straight face no less) that there is no crime crisis or increased crime in their cities. Defund the police. But now, dems want to un-defund the police. Not to mention double the gas prices, higher grocery costs and blaming biden’s low approval ratings on Trump. This administration blows. And if any party is dragging this country into the toilet, it’s the left. |

Also you may want to look up the term “finding the right balance” and apply it to your little list. |

I just answered the question. Well actually you didn’t answer the question on how the surge of crime is President Biden’s fault. You ranted a lot but did not specifically answer the question. And by the way let’s add to the question how is it President Biden’s fault the price of gas and food has gone up. Let me make it clearer. What specifically did President Biden do to cause the increase in crime, the increase in the price of gas, and the increase in food? |

If I remember correctly one of the first things biden did was close the pipeline we were getting our own gas from. Now instead we are getting it from the Middle East. At double the cost or more. What else do I need to say or how can I break it down better to make it easier for you to understand what I wrote. |

Gas was over 2.00 in the summer of 2018. And 1.25 was not even close to average. Only 4 months out of 4 years was the price lower than 1.30. As for the rest of your alternative facts, well they're just that, alternative facts. |

Not one of the points I stated was incorrect. Read it again. It answers the question asked. You can post all of the articles you want to try and deflect and change the point. Everything I said was true. But keep trying to refute it. I know it doesn’t align with the left’s agenda. Typical. 🙄🤣 |

As for the rest of your alternative facts, well they're just that, alternative facts. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I paid $.95 cents a gallon in 2019 at Costco. Maybe it was only once but gas was way under $2.00 a gallon from 2017-2019. What do you mean by “alternative facts”? They are only alternative facts because you don’t like them. Maybe that’s why you are deflecting. |

Ok, the Biden Administration. “ Everything that happens under it is his responsibility, including all of the points I stated.”Ah no, it doesn’t work that way. No President has that kind of power. There is a little thing called states rights and even the cities have rights that an Administration can’t control. As to the pipeline. The only one I know of was the Keystone Pipeline and the part he stopped wasn’t built so I’m not sure how you received your gas from a pipeline that hadn’t been built. Well maybe you could base your rants on actual facts and not right wing talking points that are based on very little fact. |

Well I never saw gas that low during the last 4+ years..It was almost $3 here March 2020. It was $3.50 or less several weeks ago.

What else do I need to say or how can I break it down better to make it easier for you to understand what I wrote. Here this should help you understand the cost of gas… Facts The retail price of gasoline is impacted by many factorsThe price of crude oil is the main determinant of the price of gasoline, but refining costs, federal, state and local taxes, as well as marketing and distribution costs also affect gasoline prices. The price of gasoline varies by state and region because of differences in gasoline specifications, state and local taxes, and costs to transport fuels into the state or region. The price of crude oil is determined in the global marketCrude oil is the primary input used to make gasoline, and as a result, the cost of crude oil has the most significant impact on the price of gasoline at the pump. The price of crude oil is determined in the global market, rather than by the refiner. That price is affected by global oil production levels (notably OPEC production but increasingly U.S. production); demand for all refined petroleum products like gasoline, diesel and jet fuel; the world economy; and geopolitics. Other factors in the supply chain impact the price tooThe price of gasoline is constantly changing. In 2019, the cost of crude oil accounted for 54% of the price of a gallon of gasoline. Refining costs and profits accounted for about 13% of what we paid at the pump. Refining costs include wages, equipment, financing, energy, and profits. Marketing and distribution adds another 15% to the retail price. Combined, federal and state taxes account for an average of 18% of the price of gasoline. Sales taxes along with taxes applied by local and municipal governments are also added and can have a significant impact on the price of gasoline in some locations.1 |

Well maybe you could base your rants on actual facts and not right wing talking points that are based on very little fact. This exactly. The Keystone pipeline was never completed and the cancellation had zero impact on current gas prices. The reality is that there is very little any president - Republican or Democrat - can do to change gas prices. Gas prices are primarily determined by supply and demand. Demand is up from last year and OPEC controls 40% of the world supply. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/feb/15/facebook-posts/keystone-xl-suspension-probably-wont-boost-oil-pri/www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/10/fact-check-higher-gas-prices-due-national-and-seasonal-demand/5253346001/ |

Show me exactly where the Biden administration defunded the police. Your logic is flawed with inaccuracies and a false premise. |

I do not remember his administration defunding the police, and I am fairly on top of the news. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/06/29/continuing-gop-fiction-that-president-biden-supports-defunding-police/2/3 of Americans, including me, are against defunding the police. It was talked about in 2020 because some lefty activists and academics started talking about it in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. It was never going to happen. The only reason that it is still being talked about is that conservatives are still talking about it. For all I know, there might be a few communities that like the idea, but it will never happen in most communities. It is a stupid, impractical phrase, and it is wildly unpopular. |

Let’s see how it’s this administration’s fault.
