          Yes, I found this to be absolutely hilarious. She confesses to being "set up" but not to her abject hypocrisy. I other words, I made no mistake by being a total hypocrite, my only mistake was trusting my accomplice in the crime not to reveal my hypocrisy to the general public and keep it to himself so that I would keep spending a lot of money on my vanity in his establishment.

            This is Nancy Pelosi’s district.

            Nancy Pelosi has been in office for over 30 years!

              If you're trying to make a point, Neil, you've fallen short imo because you didn't provide any context. The video might cover a city in Pelosi's district but it could have been taken in almost any large American city (some Canadian cities, too), including cities that are represented federally by Republicans. State and local governments also have a hand in dealing with the issues pertaining to poverty; it's not just the federal representative's 'fault'. Did you try to find Pelosi's voting record on issues relating to poverty and marginalized people in general, or do you think that a short video sponsored by Republicans says everything there is to say about Pelosi's career?

                Might???


                That clip was shot along Hyde St., also along Leavenworth St. etc..

                Those streets are located in California's 12th Congressional District ... Representative: Nancy Pelosi.

                Sad.


                We will soon see if Trump pulls federal funding from disastrously run Democratic cities.

                  Name some large American cities run by Republicans which have no poverty-related problems.

                  p.s. You didn't answer my question:

                  Did you try to find Pelosi's voting record on issues relating to poverty and marginalized people in general, or do you think that a short video sponsored by Republicans says everything there is to say about Pelosi's career?

                      These are Nancy Pelosi's people ... you know ... the ones she cares so much about???

                      These are her streets of frustration, anger, sorrow, suffering & pain.

                      Sorry Lucas ...this isn't Netflix.

                        Even if you look at the upper range of the margin of error, Pelosi's district is below average in poverty compared to the rest of California, and well below average compared to the rest of the United States: https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...istrict-12-ca/

                        Homelessness was prevalent in San Francisco well before she took office: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homele...re%20programs.

                        Poverty increased significantly more in Republican districts compared to Democrat districts from 2000 to 2010-2014: https://nlihc.org/resource/fact-week...onal-districts

                        By Tulsi Gabbard's own admission, homelessness increased by close to 20% in the past 5 years in Hawaii while she's been a representative, and it now has the highest per capita rate of homelessness in the country: https://gabbard.house.gov/housing

                        You said that you supported her for president, but you criticize Pelosi based on a video that provides zero data, but instead shows some poor and homeless people while sad music plays. Did you maybe think to consider stuff like: what policies has Pelosi supported or not supported that have actually affected poverty in her district? How does poverty in her district compare to others? What are the major factors that have contributed to this poverty? Is this video actually representative of a significant part of her district, or did they just cherry pick the absolute worst parts? Is a Twitter account called "Students for Trump" an unbiased source, or should I maybe try to do a little research before I post this dumb Republican propaganda?

                        • America has a fantastically serious problem. George Washington owned slaves, so did Thomas Jefferson. The country has been nuts from the beginning. But now all of the problems that have ever existed in America are either Trump's fault or Biden's, depending upon which side of the radical polarization you ask. A house divided against itself will not stand. America is imploding and there is no stopping it now. It will cease to be a "democracy" very soon.

                            I agree. And from a prosperity perspective, with roughly 3/4 of the world's population living in areas (Asia & Africa) which are likely to be less and less interested in kowtowing to the U.S., and with no giant economic freebie boons on the horizon (like slavery and the theft of indigenous lands and resources), the U.S. may be in for a long slow decline in prosperity. And if America can elect a Trump once, they can do it again (and again....). And now the world should be thinking about the military might of an authoritarian America.

                            p.s. The next "Trump" America elects may not be a dangerous buffoon. He or she may simply be dangerous.
