More waste and over-utilization of bandwidth and BS in virtual space!!

Cellophane August 9, 2020 - 10:11 AM - 10:11 AM

Gee Mark.

What’s a matter U.

Can’t ya come up with a topic that hasn’t already been discussed adnausium?

This is just one reason why you need to be replaced as our representative.

Tsa August 9, 2020 - 10:36 AM - 10:36 AM

Guess they’re going to discuss how taxes will skyrocket up for the masses if Biden gets elected and how the economy will tank. They also need to discuss the unsustainable debt load this country is under and the negative impact when interest rates rise in the future. I think I’ll pass on this rather than listen to the perpetual BS…

WC August 9, 2020 - 10:48 AM - 10:48 AM

So basically it’s going to be an Obama-Biden fluffer event.

Anew August 9, 2020 - 1:40 PM - 1:40 PM

The Democrats will need lots of fluffer events to rally their less than enthusiastic base these days.

Trump is running circles around Nancy Pelosi. The Democrats tried to use the second Covid-19 relief package to demand more money for left wing causes. Trump signed four Executive Orders to provide relief while bypassing the left’s demands.

Recent polls show that voters blame the riots on the Democrats.

Joe Biden has close ties to China. He seems frail and weak. Will he even debate Trump? Who will be his (very delayed) VP pick?

The Wizard August 9, 2020 - 11:12 AM - 11:12 AM

This dude triggers me.

Gebertx August 9, 2020 - 11:31 AM - 11:31 AM

No Bueno, Don’t need a rehashing of Democratic’s talking points, the dude has nothing to offer, he fiddles while his District sinks to new lows

Ash August 9, 2020 - 11:31 AM - 11:31 AM

tune in to hear the dems party narrative and how they are using the corna virus to finally get trump out of office

after all if they actually debated him on the issues they would lose because they believe in NOTHING!

Concerned Citizens August 9, 2020 - 12:32 PM - 12:32 PM

There is unprecedented suicides among youth in your district, since the shelter in place was started. What have you done or plan to do to stop this number one killer of youth in 2020? My bold prediction of his response:
covd blah blah blah blah… Even though youth are not dying or in need of ventilators for Covd.

Time to take the trash out!

badge1104 August 9, 2020 - 12:35 PM - 12:35 PM

Sorry, won’t watch. It’s going to be as a lot of baloney again…… After me I’m looking forward to voting for Trump!
And I think Trump for his executive orders of yesterday and continuing the well needed economic relief and unemployment benefits. This will help our last it through. the Democrats would just stalling Define more of their little pet projects and Planned Parenthood Public Radio etcetera etcetera? They like this more than helping the working class..
Actually mark, your channel does not come on our set anymore. We muted you. Don’t know what happened you used to be a normal local guy oh, now you’re going into orbit with the rest of the left wing.

How come there is not a Spare the Air warning to all of us. Seems to me this political pollution is effecting everyone. Another “town hall” get out the vote for me session.

Yoyohop August 9, 2020 - 1:28 PM - 1:28 PM

Why are these BS town hall meetings always in the middle of the day?

Sam August 9, 2020 - 3:01 PM - 3:01 PM

Because the dead of night is reserved for world domination planing. The guy is a straight hack. I hope we can get rid of him soon.

Sign from Above August 10, 2020 - 11:06 AM - 11:06 AM

Because conservatives work and are therefore not invited!

Yes, Mark is sure to deliver some new cutting edge information that has yet to be talked about in the media! NOT!

Dawg August 9, 2020 - 1:52 PM - 1:52 PM

I was hoping Mark would have retired after recovering from his accident.

BURNBABYBURN August 9, 2020 - 9:48 PM - 9:48 PM

That would require a bit of class. No luck hear. mark is a good example of white privilege. And yes, it does exist. desaulnier, newsome, kapernick, hilton, schaaf, etc, etc, etc.

Gittyup August 9, 2020 - 2:34 PM - 2:34 PM

DeSaulnier has jumped the shark with this one. Like we really want to hear from an economist who served under a dawdling President who couldn’t get his 5th Grade economic plan off the ground. In his pitiful eight years in office, he could not, for the life of him, figure out how to create jobs.

Be sure to vote DeSaulnier out of office. Literally anything would be better representation. If someone new doesn’t work out, we’d only have to put up with it until the next election. It’s sort of like Roulette, I guess. You keep spinning the wheel ’till you get a winner.

Sam August 9, 2020 - 4:21 PM - 4:21 PM

Ouch!

Exactly!

JWB August 10, 2020 - 9:03 AM - 9:03 AM

Gittyup and Sam

Do you care to support your statement with any facts? For example under the Obama administration 16 Million jobs were created starting starting following the financial meltdown low point in December 2009 through the end of his second term. In comparison under the Trump administration 4.7 Million jobs were created in his first three years.

Or looking at GDP growth. Obama’s best quarterly growth rates were Q2 14 with 5.5% and Q3 14 with 5.0%. in comparison Trump’s best quarters were Q1 18 with 3.8% and Q4 17 with 3.5%.

If you look at the annual growth rates Obam’s last three years were higher than Trump’s first three years. In 2019 the adjusted growth rate was only 1.99%. This is less than Obama’s three last years in office and less than five of his last six years.

I understand that you didn’t like Obama and I’m sure there are policies you may not have liked which if fine, nobody says you cannot be critical of an administration. But when you make up facts it only reflects bad on you.

OverWhelmed August 9, 2020 - 2:56 PM - 2:56 PM

If I thought I would have the opportunity to ask a couple of questions, and get the answers without a bunch of lying crap I might listen. But, when you have a suicide rate that has quadrupled since this lockdown, more loss of jobs then in the history of the US, (even during the depression), more homeless, etc…
and you are not even talking about it or trying to come to a resolution, then you are nothing more than a thieving monster. Despicable by any name and lower than the scum of the earth. Start showing the people you care and stand up for us.

@Overwhelmed
“If you thought” appears to be the operative part of your statement. The only way of determining whether you can get a question answered is to ask. Just do it. Then put your money where your mouth is and run against him.

Rollo Tomasi August 10, 2020 - 8:58 AM - 8:58 AM

“Then put your money where your mouth is and run against him.”

With the brain dead majority of the California electorate, who think free s**t is actually free? What a waste of time, money and energy.

OverWhelmed August 10, 2020 - 10:19 AM - 10:19 AM

@ Masked Poster
I was being sarcastic. He is a pathetic lying despicable excuse for a human being. I know if I asked any question it would be answered with a round of lies. And yes I will vote against him and any other incumbent that is in this state. So move along little baaa and talk to someone else.

Old Otis August 9, 2020 - 3:27 PM - 3:27 PM

More “ORANGE MAN BAD” bs!
Too bad Markie didn’t “retire” when he was sick.
Watch his CRAP? No thanks.
I have some drying paint that needs to be watched.

The Wizard August 9, 2020 - 4:22 PM - 4:22 PM

He was a mediocre bartender too. I know a good job for him. He could get a job at Chuck E Cheese wearing that rat costume. Come to think about it he does not need the outfit at all.

Rosebud August 9, 2020 - 6:29 PM - 6:29 PM

Hey Mark: just tell the truth and shame the devil.

RANDOM TASK August 10, 2020 - 12:05 AM - 12:05 AM

He holds them in the afternoon so he can get the elderly voters to listen to him

And the people actually working for a living during the day are not target dem voters they want

The dems want people they can scam and put on welfare and assistance and secure their vote and their family memebers for years to come

Dem politicians play the long con
Set you up and get you hooked that’s what dems want

Show you can use half your brain they call you a racist and dont want you

It’s funny Talking to the brainwashed college kids who think they know everything
And when you slam their argument with facts and ask for theirs they always look for help with the same look on their face …wwwhhhaaahhhhttttt…..

Maybe this state can get back on track after novemeber

#Hell no dems gotta go …..

Sam Malone August 10, 2020 - 7:50 AM - 7:50 AM

Why waste our valuable time to hear the echoing babble from Pelosi, et al from a virtual puppet.

Vote them out in 2020! Take America back.aaa

LIBERTY 1st - SAFETY 2nd August 10, 2020 - 8:23 AM - 8:23 AM

TERM LIMITS Now!
HOA’s, City Councils, Congress, US Senate…After 2 terms in ANY office, our so called “public servants” generally become self serving political whores, just like DeSaulneir

The Wizard August 10, 2020 - 10:30 AM - 10:30 AM

Mark is a Russian puppet.

RANDOM TASK August 10, 2020 - 10:52 AM - 10:52 AM

hey mark make sure you bring up the governors bum bungalows is SF

The Belleclaire, the Lucerne and the Belnord in the UWS are three of 139 hotels being used as homeless shelters during the Covid-19 crisis in New York City
The city is paying $175 per person per night to house people to avoid COVID-19 outbreaks in shelters
It’s unclear how long they will be kept there; none of the hotels are accepting paying guests currently
Upper West Side residents say they are terrorizing the neighborhood with drugs and crime
They are complaining that they don’t feel safe and local restaurant owners fear they are driving away business
The only way for restaurants to make money is by offering outdoor dining but the owners say the homeless are approaching diners to ask for cash
It coincides with a mass exodus of wealthy New Yorkers, many of whom will never come back to the city
Mayor Bill de Blasio has turned on them, calling them ‘fair weather friends’ who ought to be taxed higher
Governor Andrew Cuomo is begging them to come back and says the city desperately needs their money

demifornia always follows east coast liberal idiocy

OverWhelmed August 10, 2020 - 2:38 PM - 2:38 PM

@Random

HappyPappy August 10, 2020 - 3:08 PM - 3:08 PM

Just look at the line up of left-wing talking heads. NO opposing opinions permitted. Another “transparency” moment brought to you by the blind.
What does that tell you?

The Wizard August 10, 2020 - 4:08 PM - 4:08 PM

With all the hot polluted air coming out of Mark are they going to have a spare the air day ?
