This is not a right / Left issue.


So in 2018 Trump signed legislation creating CISA and his nominee, Chris Krebs led the Agency. The Agency immediately went on to violate American civil liberties according to Trump supporters.

Trump really was terrible at his job. By all means - hold everyone involved accountable. From the top down.

As for Krebs, he was eventually fired by Trump. But only for saying the 2020 election votes were not compromised. Trump fired Krebs for telling the truth.

CISA, the agency Krebs headed, released a report on Dominion Voting Machines on a Friday afternoon, June 3, 2022.

The report showed that software could be leveraged by an attacker to gain elevated privileges and to install malicious code.

The weekend before, CNN admitted that Dominion Voting Machine Software has flaws that can be exploited.

https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/ics-advisories/icsa-22-154-01

So Krebs either knew the machines were vulnerable and lied about it or didn't know and therefore, incompetent.


This is an extremely weak comeback. I've been reading about exploitable election software since the George W Bush era. In 2004 the left was talking extensively about the vulnerabilities in the Diebold voting systems and their donors to the Republican Party. It's always been a vulnerability. But being exploitable is not the same as having been exploited. You're just a sore loser.


Correct, the Democrats knew the voting machines were vulnerable, they were the original election deniers. And now, they are election fraud deniers. In 2024, they will be election deniers again.

Ron DeSanctimonious - Trump nailed it again

Business Insider: "DeSantis signs law to cover up records of his travel and visitors ahead of anticipated 2024 presidential run"

Florida was known for some of our nation's best sunshine laws.

Is DeSantis covering his tracks to his $500 Million political war chest? Or will these new laws help Democrats retake Florida?

Even insiders are questioning DeSantis run after Trumps' wonderful CNN performance.

I have two problems with reporting like this. First, crime in San Francisco was much higher in the 1990s. The streets were far more dangerous then. Second (and this is less specific to San Francisco but American cities in general), we used to have far more public housing. But people didn't want that anymore because that was expensive and those areas were unsightly, full of drugs, and dangerous. Like tent communities except the tent communities are worse. So public housing IS the liberal response (part of it anyway). The problem is we have gone away from basic liberal answers.

That said, I do think we need to enforce the laws more strictly than seems to be happening in some communities.

I thought you lived in New Jersey? My community absolutely has been impacted by a rampant increase in property crimes. I don't feel it is any less safe. Violent criminals are still arrested and prosecuted. My kids are still too young to be exposed to drugs.

That story is a thing that could easily have happened in the 80s or 90s (maybe not the same drugs, but drug addiction yes). I was definitely offered drugs on the street back then, even as a young kid.

IMO the big issue in SF right now is that it's all become a lot more visible and right in the main downtown areas, because COVID emptied them out of the usual crowds. It's much harder to have drug markets and tent communities when a bunch of white-collar workers are waking around all day. Those things had to hide deeper in the Tenderloin and can now spread out to other areas. It's not a new problem, just more visible.

So, the homeless dictate where they live and sell drugs in San Francisco, and it's Covid's fault? None of the money Biden spent helped combat this?

San Francisco is one of the only few counties in the state that saw a decrease in homelessness over the last three years, including a 15% decrease in unsheltered homelessness.

Link:
https://sfmayor.org/article/new-san-francisco-homelessness-count-reveals-15-decrease-unsheltered-homelessness-2019-2022

The data from San Francisco's latest point-in-time homeless "census," taken one night in February 2022, shows the first decline in the number of homeless individuals in the city in seven years countering the age-old narrative that homelessness is "worse than it's ever been."

What is through the roof ---> street drug dealing, hard-core drug use, Fentanyl deaths, retail crime and retail businesses closing.

Homicides only up 34% since 2019 (now 55 per year).

Oakland homicides hit 134 in 2021, a 15-year high. In 2018 the city recorded 68; so a 97% increase.

There are new problems.

Maybe nine months ago I met a friend at his hotel south of Market and we had dinner at Rocco's on Folsom. I walked back up 7th Street and saw multiple people getting high and shooting up as I walked towards Market.

When I hit Market to enter BART, there were between 50-75 young men dealing and buying drugs on 7th and Market. As I angled towards the BART entry I glanced left, and a young man asked what I wanted. I politely declined, and as I decended the long flight of stairs a strung out, emaciated woman was trying to smoke something - my guess is crack.

Then as I rode BART back, two young men with full face masks got on at West Oakland, and sat right behind me. I adjusted to a side seat so I could see if someone approached me.

The Market Street homeless were pushed south, so there is a superficial improvement. Market Street is clean with the no-bid, non-security security / embassadors Urban Alchemy providing daylight goodwill and resources. (Black sweatshirts, green lettering.)

The more unsavory elements of any city try to stay out of the spotlight and away from areas where they are likely to be shooed away. Places with a lot of upper- to middle-class foot traffic are not great for this; they'll get the cops called on them. But if those people aren't around anymore, these things can grow into those areas while no one is watching. Make no mistake, though, there has always been a drug trade and a homeless problem in SF, just as in many other large cities.

Cops don't just police every inch of a city every hour of the day, you know. They are a reactive group, in general. If no one reports a thing they won't be there to stop it. COVID has left downtown SF a lot emptier. I'm not assigning "fault," just trying to explain the phenomenon.
