Me too- by family on several issues I refuse to concede into “ gray areas”- I always counter with the argument-“ if asked to cut a puppy in half because some people don’t want a whole puppy— is that ok” — cricket’s always
Yeah, and Asshole’s are the people who will say what needs to be said regardless. I’m an Asshole by most standards because I refuse to be silenced or lie to make someone feel better. And I’m not saying I’m not open to discussion and changing my mind but I won’t let you get away with whatever bullshit you try to throw out there.
Slower pace of life, community centered around family and neighbors, 100% organic food, and a horse you could call your own? I'd say those are all big wins.
Certainly easier to revolt back when the other side can't potentially call on firepower many orders of magnitude greater than what you can legally own--or possibly afford.
Its also easier to revolt in smaller denser countries. America, Russia and even worse Canada, the population is so spread out it's hard to mobilize on a central area. When you see countries like England, Spain and France, the latter for example, the whole country of 70 million people can all be in Paris in like 6 hours while a Texan or someone from Vancouver would take a few days to drive to their capital... that changes a lot in the reaction time of the defending tyrannical forces when the people want to overthrow them. The element of surprise is gone.
A HUGE reason why the states should have remained fairly independent. And likely the same reason the swamp creatures made such concerted efforts to consolidate federal power and add the 17th amendment.
Lack of speedy communication is actually an advantage here. Fast communication allows centralization of power whereas slow communication fosters decentralization and localization of power.
In the past, if enough of a community turned against their mayor, the mayor couldn't just instantly call in neighboring police forces and/or state/federal troops. By the time any kind of word got out, the old mayor would be gone, and a new local government established.
The smaller/denser countries advantage you mentioned is also an function of this. The reason why our big country (and big states) can have such centralized control is because of communication.
6 hours to have a sector of population mobilized on one city is still fast and gives government very little time to react even in the age of internet and phones. Just look at 2014 when farmers descended on Paris and dumped 100s of tons of manure and rotting vegetables completely shutting down the city.
But you're right though, in the 1700 when a village revolted against the mayor, prince or a local ruler, more often than not he was fucked... or guillotined.
I think the take home lesson here is that in our age of communication, it takes a very large problem with very large mobilization to counter government response.
Smaller push back just get squashed by quickly alerted local forces.
Not completely true— any Texan can be in Austin in 6-8 hours— no biggie Texas time but very true on size comparison- Brewster county Texas is larger than the state of Rhode Island
I was referring to the nation's capital, pretty much every European city you could be the nation's capital in a few hours no matter where you live in the country.
But yet Texas is pretty big, I got the scope of the size a big States and big provinces when I lived a few years in Montreal. My wife wanted to visit Gaspé in the north peninsula of the province. I should have done my homework before gladly accepting because after 9 hours l was saying are we there yet???
Sticking some redcoat with a bayonet wouldn't feel as satisfying as running through a mag at the hordes of brainless tyrants bent on a failed ideology. The British, while complete bastards, were at least a civilized bunch who drank tea.
There was A LOT of bullshit that people put up with building up to the revolution as well. It's not like everybody idilly decided to pick a fight with the most powerful nation on the planet.
I grew up in liberal NY. Now I live in liberal CA. I have voted Republican every election. CA has their own fly over country called the central valley.
It is no longer enough to vote just at the polls. You must also vote with your tax dollars (which are theft BTW) and your consumer spending and your entertainment usage and your social media and your phone hardware and your...Jesus I know it's confusing pede but things aren't going to change unless you're based in every area of your life.
I don't have a house. I live in a hut innawoods. I'm making these posts via smoke signal to the nearest neighbor. I have no idea if they're posting them or passing them on.
He didn’t help Texas in that either— my company drove 100’s to El Paso for amnesty- paid back taxes etc and they all still sent money to Mexico/ used education system/ welfare/ health care etc same as always except now they were “legal”...
Reagan was lied to by Teddy-Gurgle-gurgle-Kennedy and Tip O’Neill, both democrats. We didnt have the internet back then...was harder to get your message out.
Republicans also have a defeatist attitude that is why they have lost cities.
Don't get me wrong, I'm moving out of my shithole city to a hopefully more conservative one within a year hopefully. Remember though that CA used to be conservative at one point, and things are always in play.
I agree— Republicans back down to adversity while Democrats will back even a pos like Biden— we really need the Lion Party but it’ll take years and we don’t have the time— suggestions??
When you talk to other fellow conservatives, ask if they are registered to vote. A LOT of people who are pro-Trump are not registered to vote believe it or not and we need to start pumping up those numbers.
0% is incredulous. SF is as blue as it gets but 100% of the vote sounds like some fuckery. Most democrats are criminals so I sincerely doubt they hold honest elections. Fraud is rampant on the municipal level.
They don't put one of each party on the ballot. They put whoever came in first and second place, which are almost always Dems. I was born in CA and I'll die in CA. Seen a lot of changes over the years. The vast majority of SF dwellers aren't from SF, or CA. When I start a job I like to count how many employees there were born in the area. Typically its less than 10%. So don't blame this on ME... the demographics suggest the blame should be placed on a shit-ton of outsiders that I don't recall inviting.
2020 presidential primary vote was not even tabulated in California or Washington if you declared yourself a non Democrat on the outside of the mail in ballot.
I will say I'm less sympathetic to a lot of gym owners.
I started off wanting to pay while the gym was closed, the money is insignificant; now I'm close to demanding no-fee cancellation of my membership out of principal.
Mine is forcing me to use their sketchy app, has shitty communication, and they've lied about when they're opening. They've been "allowed" to open for a while now.
that happened to us here, with Planet Fitness. everyone closed, and they weren't charging us, but then the mayor said okay you can open, but the new leftist CEO delayed the opening, supposedly to make it more "safe". So we got a membership at Baileys (which says you have to mask in the non-workout areas but they don't make you so we don't wear any). I had to send a certified letter to PF (and they were still closed!) to cancel and then they had the nerve to send me a bill for the cancellation fee, and I said hey- you broke the contract by not opening so screw you I ain't paying. I took the added step of having my bank reject any attempts by them to withdraw the monthly fee before I took the other steps.
No doubt, I can't figure out why Americans are still following the one sided rules until they lose everything. If everyone just opened up their businesses all at once, there is nothing the Leftist Hitler's can do about it. Everyone knows there is absolutely no reason for businesses to be shuttered right now, NONE!
If they can all riot and loot without ever going to jail, businesses can be open and voters can go to the polls.
People lived in their cars and had Gym memberships to take showers there for work.
I bet polosi never stopped going to Salons, and this Salon owner had enough with the double standard of Nancy going, no- you still have to stay closed, while I make you and your children street people.
I went to a more expensive gym, but most gyms treated their customers like shit during the lockdown, and quite a few are voluntarily forcing their customers to install contact tracing apps.
I’m a corporate attorney and CPA. Well aware of US bankruptcy strategies for governments and corporations. Simply did not know they opted for bankruptcy protection. It’s still an annoying process for issuers, creditors, and customers.
Indeed — our nation has been corrupted over the years, and it’s high time things come to a head. Whether it be a divisive election or something more extreme, time will tell.
I feel like if you VOTE for tyranny by the metric fuck ton....maybe you do deserve the consequences of it. And no I have dehumanized plenty of the left. They deserve everything that happens to them. I am done being nice to people who literally want me dead. Lost a best friend of ten years because I dare call BLM "protests" a riot and was uninvited from his wedding. They are so far gone.
Guys, guys. You're both wrong. Anyone who voted for tyranny deserves tyranny. Brainwashing is no excuse. But the ones in SF who didn't vote for it and don't support it don't deserve it.
They aren't willing because their whole entire lives have been in a bubble and everyone they have ever loved has tried to keep them in that bubble. Have some compassion.
10% of my city voted for Trump. We try, but in the arena of discourse you have no clue what we're up against. It's wall to wall echo chamber delusion and willful ignorance, among an openly hostile population that is EXACTLY like every meme posted here and elsewhere. And as someone who went through the SFUSD public education system that left me blindly indoctrinated until 5 or 6 years ago, it is not easy for the best of us to find truth when it's so completely kept from view k-12, let alone for those not inclined to self reflection and thought for it's own sake.
I guess we deserve tyranny though.
Out of curiosity, what would you do that we haven't?
We were all in that propaganda line too. Don't release them from the responsibility of being aware of the results they bring about in the world. They will never wake from the propaganda bubble if the consequences do not harm them directly.
As a born and raised San Franciscan, your sympathy is appreciated. We are raised and schooled in legit indoctrination; to hate our country, our government, and our economy. We are not taught anything positive.
Those who disagree with these 'obvious' positions are framed as sheltered racists beset by fundamental religious hypocrisy who are uneducated, unintelligent, and unwilling to have a reasonable conversation or consider any compromise. The utopia, as we are to conclude, is held back only by the conservatives holding back the progress of 'progressives'.
Serious question, does anyone see an end in sight to any of this? Just when I think the mandates are possibly ending or easing, another Gubermint idiot does something to extend, or normalize this masked shutdown...I really wonder what the plan is for us, after TRUMP slam dunks the election.
Honestly, I think a point has been reached where something needs to happen. People have forgotten the founding principles of our country, and they haven't faced a mortal threat to their freedom for decades. If we don't get new, fresh leaders this year who are willing to carve out the cancer of MSM, social media, and wokeism, I don't think anyone will be able to stop the rising tide. We are literally the last bastion of free speech on Earth; only in America is free speech a natural right that our government has an obligation to protect. Other Western countries are "granted" their rights by the government. And they have caved. I'm not even being melodramatic when I say we could be living out the last days of relative freedom if we don't give this election everything we have.
The only true way this stops is if the media stop scaring people and putting out misinformation. That's literally the only way.
The media and big tech are basically part of the deep state. They are un-elected, not transparent, and they hold a great deal of power. Even if Trump wins we'll still have the same MSNBC, CNN, FaceBook, Twitter, ect that we've always had.
People need to stop trusting the news and get the fuck off of social media. I swear if historians aren't living in a thought police dystopia in a century, they'll look back and declare that social media was the biggest mistake in human history.
The only true way this stops is if the media stop scaring people and putting out misinformation. That's literally the only way.
So then “no way” is what you’re saying. You believe CNN, MSNBC and the rest of PRAVDA is suddenly or even gradually going to have a “mea culpa” moment and join the side of America? Rob Reiner will vote Republican before that ever has a chance of happening.
Or enough people learn to stop giving news media their attention, for whatever reason. We can’t count on media to stop lying, but we can possibly persuade others that news media companies today are not what they traditionally have been and that we need to update our attitudes toward them accordingly.
Dimslee in WA state has decreed a 4-phase, county by county approach. It’s been a complete mess. Always changing the rules. I believe my county is now in a modified phase, so phase 1.5. Dine-in theatres are bypassing this be reclassifying the business and claiming to be a restaurant. Gyms are converting to health and physical therapy centers to allow people to workout. Empty cafes and yoga studios are extending boundaries onto the shoulder of residential roads to somehow open up capacity and encourage business. It’s all so unnecessary. Just open up the economy.
All because some counties aren’t meeting the effectivity rate of 12 or less people per day which seems completely arbitrary.
yeah camela pretty much admitted it on live TV with a smile on her face and a fluttery playful voice. I see through this demon's disguise, and I'm not even one of the smarter people in the country.
It is amazing at the stupidity of these people. They are truly, putting their own shackles on, and complain if, you don't want to wear them also...Peace, friend.
Haha! That will never happen. Have you been to SF? I used to go a few times each year. The people are lockstep under the control of Dems. “More government is always the answer!” Their businesses will shutter. Their life savings will be whittled away. They will be forced to hide indoors away from the parasites that live on the streets and the cops that aren’t allowed to do anything about it. They will STILL vote Dem.
this. lived here all my 31 years. there's trump shit plastered everywhere. im on the central coast. all the faggot mask signs everywhere are covered in trump stickers, trump flags everywhere. everybody is talking openly about how democrats are fucking retarded faggots
This is great news and I hope blue states keep doing this. West coast states will never flip to red because they are filled with people that are susceptible to propaganda. Not their fault, they were just born that way. BUT, those states also have swing congressional districts and I promise there are soft Democrats that have had it up to their eyebrows defending their party. (See republicans in 2008 after 8 years of GW for an example, that ended in a Democrat super majority)
When are people going to realize that we are the proletariat to these people. They don't view us as citizens, much less themselves as representatives of us. Sure every few years they spew out some benign platitudes to gain your vote, but that's it. The democrats are blocking aid to the American people, but opened up because of the USPS. That should tell you all you need to know, they are more concerned about stealing this election than the welfare of the people.
Whoa, my gym was forced to close even after opening with a lower capacity, but the government gyms are allowed to stay open!?!!!?!?! Where's the CBS local affiliate on this story???? They did one on many private gyms that dared to open and, after the story aired, were forced to close down
“It’s shocking, it’s infuriating,” Daniele Rabkin, of Crossfit Golden Gate, told a local NBC station. “Even though they’re getting exposed, there are no repercussions, no ramifications? It’s shocking.”
If you look up that crossfit gym, on their facebook they've made pro blm statements and came out against Glassman for his tweet
“It’s FLOYD-19,” Glassman wrote Saturday in response to a tweet from the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation calling racism and discrimination “critical public health issues.”
I don't see the problem. It's a govt facility, not a small business, and we all know the Chyna Flu virus only targets small businesses.
I walked past a local gym (it was shutdown), and there were at least twenty viruses hanging out on the front step. The big one -- their leader I assume -- was smoking a cigarette and taunting passers by in broken english,....just being a straight up dick.
Scum bags. I use a sauna at the local gym for life saving fluid removal and haven’t been able to do it since March. What a bunch of evil bastards. I’d be more forgiving if it wasn’t such a blatant hoax. I’m so done with these assholes.
Its time the news is banned from airing opinionated commentary and is forced to cover facts. That or lose their designation as news, and all press perks that go along with the title.
Whoa, local gym I was using was forced to close even after opening with a lower capacity, but the government gyms are allowed to stay open!?!!!?!?! Where's the CBS local affiliate on this story????

Just in time, actually.
u/utahbeachballs1944/ will not be disappointed.
Why do you think they worked so hard all of a sudden to pass Federal anti-lynching laws?
More than one way to skin a cat...
Yes we need you now
This is really touching... Really, really touching...
Yeah, l think l would have felt comfortable with a musket and a bayonette.
You an’t wrong. Live is a lot easier when you associate with people of high moral standards—- even if they hey are total assholes
Me too- by family on several issues I refuse to concede into “ gray areas”- I always counter with the argument-“ if asked to cut a puppy in half because some people don’t want a whole puppy— is that ok” — cricket’s always

And I’m not saying I’m not open to discussion and changing my mind but I won’t let you get away with whatever bullshit you try to throw out there.
Modern conveniences just create modern problems.
Slower pace of life, community centered around family and neighbors, 100% organic food, and a horse you could call your own? I'd say those are all big wins.
Oh, well, that's a given. :)
So true- the more rural you are and less you have the easier your life is..
Yup, live in middle of nowhere and none of this insane stuff gets even close, life is normal outside my door.
Where do you stay? If you don't mind me asking
Certainly easier to revolt back when the other side can't potentially call on firepower many orders of magnitude greater than what you can legally own--or possibly afford.
Its also easier to revolt in smaller denser countries. America, Russia and even worse Canada, the population is so spread out it's hard to mobilize on a central area. When you see countries like England, Spain and France, the latter for example, the whole country of 70 million people can all be in Paris in like 6 hours while a Texan or someone from Vancouver would take a few days to drive to their capital... that changes a lot in the reaction time of the defending tyrannical forces when the people want to overthrow them. The element of surprise is gone.
A HUGE reason why the states should have remained fairly independent. And likely the same reason the swamp creatures made such concerted efforts to consolidate federal power and add the 17th amendment.
Lack of speedy communication is actually an advantage here. Fast communication allows centralization of power whereas slow communication fosters decentralization and localization of power.

Young men going into WW1 though that the battlefield is an opportunity for glory. It was hell. Life is never what it seems.
These gym owners voted for Democrats. They deserve it
The act of living in SF is a vote for Democrats.
It’s not like they didn’t know the local politics.
Feel sad for them losing their business, but if you’re dumb enough to go to ground zero of leftist idiocy, you deserve what you get.
I grew up in liberal NY. Now I live in liberal CA. I have voted Republican every election. CA has their own fly over country called the central valley.

None my suppliers make anything in China. My business does get products from other Asian countries, just not China.
haha nice rebuttal. I live in the bay myself
you are the only one, my fren
tell that to the people who voted for devin nunes
CA was red before Reagan fucked everything up.
Yes, sadly Regan gave illegals amnasty.
Demography is destiny.
I've never seen anyone on here saying we need more amnesty for illegals, and if there are... they're fucking shills.
That's a big NOPE from me Dawg
You are making this up. Go away.
He didn’t help Texas in that either— my company drove 100’s to El Paso for amnesty- paid back taxes etc and they all still sent money to Mexico/ used education system/ welfare/ health care etc same as always except now they were “legal”...
And passed gun bans

don't forget to mention how bitchy gyms are at canceling your membership. They don't care about you but now want you to care for them.
I know they live in SF, and I know their local government is screwing them.
SF has always been liberal leaning. What did they expect? You didn’t need to be Nostradamus to see this coming
"All four main candidates identify as Democrats, though the position is officially nonpartisan per the Constitution of California."
There wasn't even a Republican to vote for in the SF mayoral race.
0% is incredulous. SF is as blue as it gets but 100% of the vote sounds like some fuckery. Most democrats are criminals so I sincerely doubt they hold honest elections. Fraud is rampant on the municipal level.
Wow, that makes a lot more sense
Not possible since i for sure voted red all the way down last election here.
They don't put one of each party on the ballot. They put whoever came in first and second place, which are almost always Dems. I was born in CA and I'll die in CA. Seen a lot of changes over the years. The vast majority of SF dwellers aren't from SF, or CA. When I start a job I like to count how many employees there were born in the area.

If they did not and are trying to survive in a Democrat environment in business cause they love California that’s a personal choice- can’t gripe
yes they did
Probably had a choice of dim 1 or dim 2 a lot of CaliZuela congressional districts only offer dim candidates ? WTF
Jungle primaries. Top 2 vote getters get on the ballot, regardless of party.
is that the ranked voting bullcrap? The leftards are pushing that in Maine, and it may have succeeded on some levels.
Democrats changed the rules a few yrs ago to make sure repubs could never win
I will say I'm less sympathetic to a lot of gym owners.

TAR AND FEATHER
24 hr fitness is being sued into bankruptcy.
People lived in their cars and had Gym memberships to take showers there for work.
I bet polosi never stopped going to Salons, and this Salon owner had enough with the double standard of Nancy going, no- you still have to stay closed, while I make you and your children street people.
Her hair was never out of place. Gary Newsome has not been caught- but he has had perfect hair for all his appearances.
These are politicians that want to be celebrities- another reason to be jealous of Trump. He was a celebrity before-
I went to a more expensive gym, but most gyms treated their customers like shit during the lockdown, and quite a few are voluntarily forcing their customers to install contact tracing apps.
Dang, didn’t hear about 24 hour fitness filing for bankruptcy.
I’m a corporate attorney and CPA. Well aware of US bankruptcy strategies for governments and corporations. Simply did not know they opted for bankruptcy protection. It’s still an annoying process for issuers, creditors, and customers.
Bruh it wasn't personal.
Could expanded bankruptcy help fix the debt buying?
Then they deserve everything.
Agreed.
No one deserves tyranny.
Hence America.
Tyranny is alive and well in America
Indeed — our nation has been corrupted over the years, and it’s high time things come to a head. Whether it be a divisive election or something more extreme, time will tell.
Again:
NO ONE deserves tyranny. Even the laziest, evilest piece of shit still has a soul.
We’re nowhere close to dehumanizing the Left. Needs a hot hot war to justify that. Otherwise, it’s just LARPing.
I feel like if you VOTE for tyranny by the metric fuck ton....maybe you do deserve the consequences of it. And no I have dehumanized plenty of the left. They deserve everything that happens to them. I am done being nice to people who literally want me dead. Lost a best friend of ten years because I dare call BLM "protests" a riot and was uninvited from his wedding. They are so far gone.

It's right there in the name.
10% of San Francisco votes were for Trump. We don't all deserve the tyranny of the majority that our constitution is supposed to protect us from.
But these democrats are different!
They want the D. And they'll get it one way or another no matter who wins.
Serious question, does anyone see an end in sight to any of this? Just when I think the mandates are possibly ending or easing, another Gubermint idiot does something to extend, or normalize this masked shutdown...I really wonder what the plan is for us, after TRUMP slam dunks the election.
looking more and more like we're gonna have to shoot our way out.
You are now on Bill Barr’s Ruby Ridge 2.0 list.
Signing on this site you are on the list
We were on a list before this site even existed.
No doubt
💥💥💥💥😂😂😂😂😂 45
Barr is on our side though...

I hope he proves me wrong. But I’m not holding my breath.
I do believe you are correct...
Honestly, I think a point has been reached where something needs to happen. People have forgotten the founding principles of our country, and they haven't faced a mortal threat to their freedom for decades. If we don't get new, fresh leaders this year who are willing to carve out the cancer of MSM, social media, and wokeism, I don't think anyone will be able to stop the rising tide. We are literally the last bastion of free speech on Earth; only in America is free speech a natural right that our government has an obligation to protect. Other Western countries are "granted" their rights by the government. And they have caved. I'm not even being melodramatic when I say we could be living out the last days of relative freedom if we don't give this election everything we have.
There must be some way the media could be held accountable ?
We all know they are eat fault. If shit hits, they go down.
I sure as hell can't see any other way
The only true way this stops is if the media stop scaring people and putting out misinformation. That's literally the only way.
The media and big tech are basically part of the deep state. They are un-elected, not transparent, and they hold a great deal of power. Even if Trump wins we'll still have the same MSNBC, CNN, FaceBook, Twitter, ect that we've always had.
People need to stop trusting the news and get the fuck off of social media. I swear if historians aren't living in a thought police dystopia in a century, they'll look back and declare that social media was the biggest mistake in human history.
History has been corrupted since at least the 1900s.
So then “no way” is what you’re saying. You believe CNN, MSNBC and the rest of PRAVDA is suddenly or even gradually going to have a “mea culpa” moment and join the side of America? Rob Reiner will vote Republican before that ever has a chance of happening.
Or enough people learn to stop giving news media their attention, for whatever reason. We can’t count on media to stop lying, but we can possibly persuade others that news media companies today are not what they traditionally have been and that we need to update our attitudes toward them accordingly.
Dimslee in WA state has decreed a 4-phase, county by county approach. It’s been a complete mess. Always changing the rules. I believe my county is now in a modified phase, so phase 1.5. Dine-in theatres are bypassing this be reclassifying the business and claiming to be a restaurant. Gyms are converting to health and physical therapy centers to allow people to workout. Empty cafes and yoga studios are extending boundaries onto the shoulder of residential roads to somehow open up capacity and encourage business. It’s all so unnecessary. Just open up the economy.
All because some counties aren’t meeting the effectivity rate of 12 or less people per day which seems completely arbitrary.
yeah camela pretty much admitted it on live TV with a smile on her face and a fluttery playful voice. I see through this demon's disguise, and I'm not even one of the smarter people in the country.
I don't see one, no. The majority of people bought it hook, line, and sinker. They want to kill the economy and they will NOT give up this power.
If they keep this up, President Trump is going to win San Francisco.
It is amazing at the stupidity of these people. They are truly, putting their own shackles on, and complain if, you don't want to wear them also...Peace, friend.
They'll be oroboroses before 11/3.
If they remove that, would people be able to advertise whites only business and organizations?
Technically you can now, it just has to be private.
Haha! That will never happen. Have you been to SF? I used to go a few times each year. The people are lockstep under the control of Dems. “More government is always the answer!” Their businesses will shutter. Their life savings will be whittled away. They will be forced to hide indoors away from the parasites that live on the streets and the cops that aren’t allowed to do anything about it. They will STILL vote Dem.
Well, you can't fix stupid.
That is true. They literally blame those evil republicans when things go wrong.
Nope, the local NPR stations are still blaming Trump for everything anything.
Call in saying you want to vent and complain about them instead.
Wake up California!
Democrats are the gift that keeps on giving. Native Californian here. I think we might be in play.
this. lived here all my 31 years. there's trump shit plastered everywhere. im on the central coast. all the faggot mask signs everywhere are covered in trump stickers, trump flags everywhere. everybody is talking openly about how democrats are fucking retarded faggots
Bay area here, still as retarded as always. Coming out as A Trump supporter will lose you all your friends and job
I’ve been seeing Trump Masks recently as close as Redwood City.
CALIFORNIA IS IN PLAY!
Hoping we have the biggest turnout in years. I keep seeing trump masks and stickers all around
Taps on forehead
They can’t close your gym if you make it a Republican campaign HQ.
Or serve a meal.
And there's a large portion of this country that will still vote for these people. Sad.
Suddenly Skeletor's seat starts to look vulnerable.
Wouldn’t that be delicious?! No more Nancy. America wins!
This is great news and I hope blue states keep doing this. West coast states will never flip to red because they are filled with people that are susceptible to propaganda. Not their fault, they were just born that way. BUT, those states also have swing congressional districts and I promise there are soft Democrats that have had it up to their eyebrows defending their party. (See republicans in 2008 after 8 years of GW for an example, that ended in a Democrat super majority)
Pure hypocrisy. If it weren’t for double standards Dems wouldn’t have any standards at all.
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Amiright?
When are people going to realize that we are the proletariat to these people. They don't view us as citizens, much less themselves as representatives of us. Sure every few years they spew out some benign platitudes to gain your vote, but that's it. The democrats are blocking aid to the American people, but opened up because of the USPS. That should tell you all you need to know, they are more concerned about stealing this election than the welfare of the people.
I'll say it again, THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU.
They'll get re-elected anyway. Leftists and Progressives have so much white-guilt, they love getting tread upon by their superiors.
Whoa, my gym was forced to close even after opening with a lower capacity, but the government gyms are allowed to stay open!?!!!?!?! Where's the CBS local affiliate on this story???? They did one on many private gyms that dared to open and, after the story aired, were forced to close down
Keep voting democrat
If you look up that crossfit gym, on their facebook they've made pro blm statements and came out against Glassman for his tweet
Wonder if they're learning yet
They're in the process of smearing it around the country.
No shit. People are going to be pissed when they figure out the government has been paying themselves to go on strike.
I don't see the problem. It's a govt facility, not a small business, and we all know the Chyna Flu virus only targets small businesses.
I walked past a local gym (it was shutdown), and there were at least twenty viruses hanging out on the front step. The big one -- their leader I assume -- was smoking a cigarette and taunting passers by in broken english,....just being a straight up dick.
This is going on in all blue states
Its ok. They will open tomorrow just like CA hair salons opened 2 days after Nancy's stunt.
Communism, Democrat-s already practice it.
This is how dictator can control the whole country with just 5% privilege class.
Welcome to California.
I have no sympathy for people who get what the voted for.
Scum bags. I use a sauna at the local gym for life saving fluid removal and haven’t been able to do it since March. What a bunch of evil bastards. I’d be more forgiving if it wasn’t such a blatant hoax. I’m so done with these assholes.
I’m pretty convinced that California isn’t actually solid blue and a bunch of people just never vote because they assume it won’t matter.
Some animals are more equal than others
THEN OPEN YOUR BUSINESSES if you're so outraged.
If everyone stops abiding by the rules of the game, the game is over!
Did you know that ‘Pelosi’ is actually spelled c-u-n-t?
wow
just wow
Wow...
Yeah sue the fucking government over this.
Oh? Oh. Time to march. Peacefully. Armed. March peacefully and armed. To the teeth.
Some animals are more equal than others.
of coourse
THAT'S BULLS*** GET OFF THE PHONE!
This whole country needs to file lawsuits on the government for over reach.
At least I can say that at the Federal hospital I work at, our gym has been closed the entire pandemic.
It seems like the grossest abuses are coming from the state and local level government.
This is how dictator can control the whole country with just 5% privilege class.
File the lawsuits now.
Its time the news is banned from airing opinionated commentary and is forced to cover facts. That or lose their designation as news, and all press perks that go along with the title.
We make the laws___We mandate the law — We enforce the law —- We judge the law —We are above the law
San Francisco - IDGAF for that liberal cesspit. This is what they created for themselves.
Why are they so upset over their socialist utopia?
