Because is just adding fuel to the flame and there is no evidence of wide spread fraud!! I am personally disgusted with Republicans period!

Ed Merzlak

In my opinion, Hawley is guilty of sedition, publicly raising his fist in support of the rioters. Remember, 5 people lost their lives. Censure does not remove him from office, he retains his title, stature, and power to vote. He is an embarrasment to the people of Missouri and he must be removed.

Travis Follett

He knows there was no fraud. He's just using the situation to ingratiate himself to trump's base. He helped pour fuel on that fire.

Sheila Plummer

Absolutely! This Missouri resident is embarrassed by his non-representation of a majority of his fellow Missourians.

dglobetrotter

He is not following the constitution, and spreads lies.

Crystal Long

He helped with the riot on the capital he should resign

R Talbott

I believe he acted without consideration of common good, and acted in what he thought might increase his position for future political opportunities. Might have back fired. He should be censured by Congress.

Audrey Shewmaker

He did encourage rioters. And he should be disciplined.

Jennifer Tiff

He knows there was no voter fraud. He knows Trump was lying and he backed it. He tried to take away our democracy and replace it with a dictatorship. I think Gobbels was a great comparison to Hawleys behavior in this attempted government coupe.

Nina Ogle

The courts decided there was no election fraud and he knows this. He is not upholding his oath to support the Constitution.

Cecil Schick

He is now a trumplican and not a true Republican. He says he was speaking for the millions I think that's just what the election and all the recounts did. Your just a trumppet a puppet for the slime ball trump!

Dennis Gravedoni Sr.

And because he used the riots for a fund raising event, even while the capital was under siege.

It is absolutely his right to question the results an election with so many obvious irregularities - just doing the job he was elected to do!!!

Eric Endsley

He is representing Missouri majority of people.

Vernon Taylor

So the same ones who complain about overturning an election - now want to - because he's got the haters scared.

Mary Jane Thomson Jackson

Sen. Hawley was doing his job, as we all know there was fraud in this election.

Derek Burks

Its no different than when democrats did the same thing in 3 elections since 2000. If they see tom foolery. They are obligated by law to report it.

stacy Hospital

He is a great guy and is for the people! He believes that there was a problem with voter fraud as 80 million Americans do !! People should leave him alone !!!

David Apel

What he did was totally constitutional and Pelosi did it in 2009,

Johnie Brauer

He is doing his job by representing his constituents. I totally agree with him and very proud of him!! We need more like him!!

Bill Whisenand

Because he was within his legal right to do it.

Will Mason

Asking to look at the election did not incite violence. 4 yeats of leftist lies did.

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.

Chris Macy

Trump & his evil minions are shredding the constitution

Steve Baumann

Please provide specifics. Never mind, we already know you can't.

Max

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.

Jenny Mummert

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.

Steve Baumann

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.

Republicans are trying to democracy.

Laura Cochran

Trump needs to go! Save Democracy!

Max

We have a Federation, Presidential system, Constitutional republic, Federal republic. We do not have a democracy, and we have never had a democracy. Go to school, and learn.

Max

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

John Rinck

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.

Tina Mann

To protect the US Constitution and our Democracy from hostile takeover by our current administration.

Steve Baumann

He was ELECTED and stop whining, we put up with far worse, it's time to fix it.

Max

There is no democracy in the USA. Educate yourself.

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

Fat Guy Outdoors

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.

Steve Baumann

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

Toasty

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.

Richard Winkel

I don't think these people know what they're protesting.

Zaos Gonzolez

Donald will be your King whether you like it or not.

Max

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

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

robert weber

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

Kati Magana

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

Kim Ritchie

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

Ann Thomas

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

Deborah Albright

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

Nic Secor

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

Payton Dixson

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

k san

No, that's too big a generalization. However, those owners should never let their pet off-leash in those areas.

robert weber

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
