It’s become very unsafe; Columbia use to be on the most desirable places to live in the country… based partly on how safe it was; now it’s become unsafe!

It scares me to go there. I only go to Columbia, when it can not be avoided. I'm old and can't defend myself like a young man. I served my country for eleven years when I was younger. I would have done 20 but I chose a job that paid 3 times what my E-6 military pay was. Thanks to President Carter

Yet you have no problem with allowing taxpayer-funded state employees who are graduates of UM, collecting taxpayer funded pensions so they can “spend their retirement at UM ball games”?! You need to join our movement to start filing complaints against these kinds of people

Carter drove many good soldiers away, I'm glad that I was one of them.

It isn't 'gun violence'. I've got a dozen guns that aren't hurting anybody. They're not going to steal my car, drive to Columbia and shoot up the town. Columbia has gone to hell- crimes perpetrated by people already prohibited from possessing guns. No way I'd send a kid to MU.

Do you approve of state employees being able to retire, draw a lifetime pension of thousands of dollars each month so they can spend their retirement “going to MU sports” like one local MoDOT engineer in my town has publicly stated? I can give name & title if anyone wants to file a complaint.

Columbia has ALWAYS been communist. Why would government funded poverty and crime be a surprise?

So what are you going to do about it? Just sit there and condone it instead of taking action against state employees who publicly go on record saying they are going to take their taxpayer funded pensions and move there to “watch MU sports for retirement”? Want some names/numbers and file complaints?

They don't want Kings, they want their authoritarianism back, which is what they didn't get when their failed appointed candidate who never got a single primary vote, was attempted to be installed as their continued fascist leader.

Millions protested, proving that there are No Kings in the USA. Thank you for protecting our President Donald J. Trump. We appreciate that so very, very much. Donald also thanks you. Bless all of your little hearts.

The 2025 document, which took years to create, says it all. We are losing the rule of law and our rights under this administration. I believe Trump is a puppet for the far right conservatives who want to alter or destroy our democracy.

Don't confuse the maga lemmings with facts. Even now, they probably don't have a clue what Project 2025 is all about.

We want to fix what was broken by Obama. The Biden era was horrific for our country, it stuns me anyone can condone that, much less think Kamala is qualified for squat.

Trump won the popular vote. That's democracy. LOL He also won all six swing states, and 95% of the counties in the USA.

Trump and his regime are breaking Constitutional rules like they're trying to set a record. They've set one. Most corrupt group of people in the history of America.

The only thing being protested here is Trump's landslide victory- spoiled children throwing fits, because they didn't get their way.

I just take witness to who join these protests. I know very soon the majority will die of old age, the rest are lazy and allergic to responsibility and accountability. So they will tear each other apart. Let them expose themselves.

These people are progressive socialist aka communist. Also anti semitism seems to run deep with them. Some have laughed and joked about the death of Charlie Kirk, many of these people are flat out evil. Others, nothing more than useful idiots.I can never agree with them. The represent nothing good

Where were these 'no kings' protests during the Obama/Biden admin? There was fascism and borderline dictatorship policies being pushed (green new deal, electric car mandates, gun confiscations, suppression of free speech, etc) and silence. Trump is not a king, so stop acting like a serf.

Donald is more powerful than a King, because he was elected, in a massive landslide vote, that was not fixed.
