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?

It is the leading story on most of major news sites. It was all a made up game with a predetermined conclusion. How many dems/republicans are laughing and patting themselves on the back this morning telling each other 'Same time next year?'

Don't care one way or another, nor do those making the decisions in Congress, as they still are getting a paycheck.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.
