I'm Vietnamese and I don't trust any Vietnamese officials lol. Hell naw
Me too....too envy. They can't stand those that are higher than them.😂😂😂
I’m hollering because Tran looks like she gonna do the same thing.
Ugh, she is as overly dramatic and unbelievable as Thao....
Did you say she was an "ethics professor"?
How ironic!!
Tran received 13k from the Duongs even though she said it was 3.3k. She did not say outright she would give the money back. Her father is someone who is being investigated. She is a hypocrite.
Right if your willing to say your date will do the time. C'mon
How much Mrs. Tran got again?
TRUMP got about a billion dollar raised/donated since he started his presidency, *a billion dollars?*
1,000,000,000 - 13,000 = *999,987,000*
Oh !?! Does that erase deviousness of Sheng Thao ? .
@@eleung thanks for that . We did go to school. We were taught Who what when why how
@@eleung lol yes thank you let me correct can't be forgetting like the bottom feeder's
Oh spare me the victim game! Feel the walls closing in? 😢😂
They all look corrupt
The words corruption and Politician are synonymous, in my vocabulary.
If you ain't corrupt, you don't get into politics or be a politician.
😂
well that how u get ahead of politic games lol
The Raider's & The A's were smart enough to get out, they knew what was coming.
Warriors too.
Sheng's strategy for keeping the A's was brilliant - insult A's ownership until they gave in and agreed to stay in Oakland.
Yeah man. How many times was this mayor gonna regurgitate "Our best option is to remodel the Oakland Coliseum." BARF. That place is hella ghetto
@@fixpacifica I'm glad that they are gone, total freeloaders.
Listen to that voice… she sounds guilty as hell
💯💯💯
She will end up making a deal. They will offer no prison time if she'll turn on the Duongs and resign.......
Watch
What about her Partner? I think he is in deep with this corruption
You nailed it
God I hope so but I think the Duongs are bigger than this and Oakland will go broke, the Duong plan. They have been working on it for maybe 50 years?
This is a huge corruption scandal in where the whole family may go down
Sheng Thao will be recalled for SURE. But no one should vote to re-elect ANY of the current city council members, the District Attorney, and any and all advisors or others who played a role in this train wreck.
Blue in CA control the votes. She will survive the recall if her dark side isn't completely exposed and Dr. Tran is only one person. Thao has stompled like grapes in Napa.
If she actually cared she'd resign but since she's a narcissist she won't
Oh but I was poe. I worked hard and did a lot of things to a lot of people to get here. I am now silent and the ghosts in the closet are rumbling and unlocking the closet doors.
Now you see why she fired the former police chief !!! She came into Oakland and has destroyed the City !!!
Whole bay is corrupted and yall just releasing the wrath on Thao
We're going to have to make an example, and she just happens to be handy.
And super unattractive
Oakland mayor, east bay cops being arrested, Santa clara sheriff being caught violating 2nd amendment by only giving permits to her family and friends and donars, San Jose police union president caught drug trafficking....
Bay area is rotten to the core.
Gotta start somewhere
Stop trying to tell on folks and by channeling the attention somewhere else. The spotlight is on her now! She’s a crook and fraud.
0:34 Another power-hungry, money-grubbing politician.
Took down 1 homeless area and gave herself a raise!
She’s already acting like a criminal against the wall. FBI closing in on her. SMH.
Don't vote for anyone connected to the Mayor, period. This candidate has connections.
If she can throw her allies like her father and the Duongs under the bus just like that, people who supported her, Oklanders best run far, far away from this lady because she has only one person's interest in mind--Miss Tran! Her true colors are already starting to show. Is there a person of integrity left in Okland? Yes, I"m sure there are many, but I think they're too smart to play with fire. How can anyone trust her? When directly asked about contributions, her math seemed to be a bit off.
Mayor thao needs to be ejected
The term is "recalled."
@@GH-oi2jf
Fired.
Yes but who going to take her place? It's almost like watching a superhero movie, never ending replacement of villains.
Oakland got nothing left.......The Warriors moved to SF....The A's move to Vegas....Soon The town will be abandon......
What's the pride festival wants to move their headquarters to Oakland
All truth in this comment.
It all started when they shut down the naval base. (Think it's a naval base)
Pot calling the kettle black?
Damn lady, who did you piss off?
I'm betting it's Biden's boys trying to smear Newsom as an alternate candidate. Shengy's going to jail, and Gavin will go quietly into the night.
I'm going to vote for her in November because of all these attacks from the establishment that didn't endorse her during her 2022 election. She started her term in January 2023, the same year, those who she defeated made a coalition to start a recall campaign for issues that were created by her predecessors. To make the matter worst for herself, she fired the chief of police that was involved in some shitty misconduct. Libby Schaff governed Oakland for 8 years, she has done nothing beside accelerating the gentrification of Oakland and pushing middle income folks to the streets. She could have pushed the renovation of our roads during the Covid pandemic when most people were working from home. Did nada! But because she was giving the construction contracts to her Piedmont millionnaires friends, they cheered her up. It is under her terms that the Warriors and the Raiders left Oakland. The A's also started the threat to leave Oakland if their demands were not met. So, what exactly are we blaming Sheng Tao for?
@@yawodagbeviakpawublitt7271you’re part of the problem
It’s a great idea to hold a press conference and basically dare the Feds to charge you right after they’ve raided your house. Genius level strategy.
bold move cotton, we'll see how it plays out
Charge her with what? She didn't even do anything
It is if you believe you can win in court
From being an overwhelmed mayor to hopefully an indicted mayor, it might be time for Oakland to stop being so liberal!
0:30 how naive, corruption makes the world go round.
Dang lil sis said if my daddy did the crime he is doing the time 😂
Jennifer, just keep talking trash about Sheng Thao, you will be no different and will be next.
Yeah, the Mayor is toast. I think her Partner is definitely right in the middle of this corruption but the Mayor is being way too defensive....if she was innocent i believe she would show more confidence not throwing out alleged conspiracies
Arrest Sheng Thao and send her to jail!
Kamala Harris too..arrest her first...then Pelosi and Maxine Waters...they all corrupt...
@ShigleySheila You can't arrest someone if there isn't a crime...... wait till there is a crime. FBI will let us all know if something is a miss.
The city of Oakland is trashed, before mayor Sheng thao arrived!!
And Sheng made it worse in no time.
The city of Oakland gets progressively worse with each local government administration.
And your point???
OAKLAND TRASHED IN 30 YEAR A GO
You reap what you sow. Keep voting for these types of people and things will never change.
Duong Family has been donating to Barbara Lee for DECADES
Slimey corrupt Democrat!
yea, the republicans are not corrupt. you sound dum as hell.
Aren't they all?
They're just like the Republicans too. All are slimy and the biggest one is Don the con
Let me guess…..This is all Trumps fault 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes 😂😂😂
We'd like to think so, yes.
BTW, Trump 2024
hahahaha good one!
She probably blames trump for the crime
The corruption is so compelling. Everyone who has accepted champagne contribution from the Duong family need to be investigated.
Mayor Sheng Thao plays the victim card very well.
Why was this American city handed over to these people?
There will be a lot of opportunistic people to come out soon! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everybody is dirty. Moral decay.
Pay to play
These are the people who won't let the police do there job.
Jennifer Tran wishes she can relate to Sheng Thao. Tran is Vietnamese, so is the Duong family. Thao is Hmong. The Hmong never flipped on the USA during the Vietnam War, but Tran's people did, Viet Cong and Viet Minh. Plus, her people were never oppressed for thousands of years like the Hmong. Tran's father is the president of the Viet Association. An association that is heavily tide to these corrupt donors, unlike Sheng's parents, who's a farmer lol. Tran is playing both sides because she knows her father is corrupted, and so is she. Don't vote for Thao and Tran. They're corrupted. But Tran is worse. Facts!
Saw this coming 30 yrs prior. Ret. Vet. Many international duty stations. Saw how those communities work and STILL work. DEEP rooted corruption....zero loyalty to this Country. OAK/SF, been watching you for years, how could you NOT see it?
Guilty, she's stealing from Oakland.
Why so many franchises restaurants moved away from this city? corruption creating crime?
Is she related to AOC ? She acts like her
Uh. Oh. Crime doesn’t pay.
Lately politicians arrogance has gotten ridiculous 🤦♂️
FJB will bail her out!
She could be to feeble minded for a trial like President Biden in the classified documents incident
Jennifer Kim-Anh Tran, Ph.D., received dirty money herself, has family members under investigation, and her lover is a sex shop owner and nightlife venue operator.
She sounds great.
Ha ha ha! Now everyone wants to use mayor Tao as step stool to accomplish their own agenda!
Second term spent in jail...
Big Guy also got his 10% from the Duong family.
Ms. Thao deserves the criticism but the truth is that most of these "local leaders" are more corrupt than she is.
Thao just step down and everything will be peace in Oakland
Shen Taos speech is her Waterloo, You gotta love that only one person clapped when she finished - They were packed in the room like sardines and even her staff wants her gone. PRICELESS !""
If you think thats all it’s gonna take, think again.
Another corrupted politician. She needs to pay the city for not having a Chief in the city and all the crime that has happened while her being in charge. Jail time
that 12 year old boy is also corrupt
lol
😂😂😂😂
Little Sheng Sheng in big *ss trouble.
Little?
@@seeharvester That's a slight on her girth.
@@bobfeller604
I think it's just the camera. They say it adds 10 pounds.
Big trouble in .... nevermind I'll be called a racist for the pun intended
How come she not jailed yet?
If what she’s done truly IS widespread, she’ll beat any charges.
Equal the u.s.a drop over 3 million tons of bomd in laos land during Vietnam War 🇻🇳
Well let's see what the FBI IRS UNIT finds in the next few days.
1:28 That smile of collecting that $1000/day everyday she's in office.
Mayor of Joakland.
Get fired.
maybe if they would do this for justice and not political maneuvers, it would mean something, all are wanting.
Did they say thirty three hundred 😂
Club Fed's coming soon...
Stay away from Cali
But nothing on the big fish like Pelosi and Newsom.
Your above the law when your a Democrat...
You will be in prison!
🤣🤣its what they voted for 🤣🤣🤣
Dirty, and sanctimonious, not a good combination.
Oakland looks like a MAD MAX film at night, easily one of the worst big cities in America. She is part of the reason why.
Clown show
If the campaign contributions were legal, then why give the money back? 🤔
This is a mess..
But Libby gets two full terms. Oakland loves Massa.
your week isnt as bad as sheng thaos
Counting down the days she’ll throw boyfriend Andre Jones under the bus.
IF IT WALKS LIKE A DUCK .... IT IS A MAFIA DUCK
An Oakland native. I am Ashamed of you. Stop the victim game. Step down! Oakland deserves a REAL leader! Go back to Stockton!
Basically accepting dirty money until it is in the news.
Fired the mayor along with all city councils.
I often wonder if this Mayor really negotiated in good faith with baseball A's ownership.
Mayor Thao seems to be taking advice from Donald Trump.
If it's that easy to buy favors from politicians like the Duong family think of the wonders that big money from crime syndicates and Global real estate investors can buy. Things like protection from regulations and law enforcement. Do you ever wonder why nothing gets done about the homeless problem or drug dealing never get solved? Or why you have to live with graffiti everywhere and burned out cars lining the streets or that mess called Fruitvale? And why nobody can afford rent?
Time to go!
Don’t trust this person either
Henry Lee, Jennifer Tran, and Sheng Thao all have an Americanized sounding voice. None of them have a foreign Asian accent.
If you anything about the City Counsil of Oakland you'd just leave there. They are not constitutional and actualy need to be Investigated by the FBI themselves.
the voters need to take the blame. ignorance is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. voting democrat has done wonders. i'd keep voting that way.
And I thought that waste management was the domain of the scicilian mafia, the Sopranos! LOL
They fled from VC and bring the VC mentality with them
Sheng thao learn this from Trump lol 😢😢😢
The mayor of Oakland did nothing for Oakland in fact since she’s been in the chair, Oakland got worse 😮😢😢😢😢
Why FBI raided off her house and she kept saying that I am crystal clear....... weirdo
This is all so disgusting Ms. Tran, Thao, Duong, everyone
YOU'RE UP
Shes a Disgrace as a Mayor
Go after newsom next
100%!!
