The Election & RIP Prop6

George Rebane

Instead of my regular KVMR commentary, News Director Paul Emery suggested we do a little one-on-one for tonight’s news program.  So we sat down for a little gabfest about the election.   Paul asked me for any surprises on the outcome, and chowder-head me responded that things went pretty much as I had expected, while completely overlooking my total disappointment and frustration with the failure of Prop6 – you know, the repeal of the most recent California gas tax bamboozle from Sacramento.

Prop6 went down to solid defeat in California in the hands of a partisan majority of voters that over the years has vacillated between insanity and terminal stupidity.  CA already has the highest gas taxes in the land, much of them from previous initiatives promised by the lying sacks of s#!t in Sacramento that the taxes would go to fix CA’s roads and bridges.  Well, what has happened is that these tax receipts go directly into the state’s general fund to finance an endless number of programs and purposes – e.g. bullet trains, smelt salvation, succoring illegal aliens, funding govt workers pension liabilities, attracting evermore of the nation’s welfare recipients, … - that continue to leave us in an ever bigger mess.  And with already the highest gas taxes in the land, we continue to pay these fraudulent takings without even a peep.

So now our roads are really a mess, and that looks like a perfect opportunity for some capitol scumbags to go to the voters – over half of whom pay no taxes, and a third of whom get regular government checks - and ask them to dance another round of the SOSO samba.  Only this time the bill will be even more smelly because it has a built-in ratchet that keeps upping it ad nauseum over the years.  Those Californians who pay attention did put out the word on Prop6, pointing out that these new taxes will do nothing except increase the cost of transportation (especially for the poor), while once more destined for the state’s general fund to finance the ever greater insanities and inanities from Sacramento.

Defeating such an obviously fraudulent proposition should have been a no-brainer, hence it was designed precisely for those not so encumbered.  But like Lucy with the football, our Charlie Brown electorate again fell for the ‘can’t you see all them chuckholes and cracks and … all of which need fixin’?’  And, of course, today all them cracks etc are way bigger and more numerous and easier to see than last time, so the state’s not so nimble numbnuts dutifully checked the proper box to keep the most recent and onerous gas tax in place as the scumbags are already planning the next tax to fix the roads and bridges – hell, why stop a perfectly good bamboozle designed exactly for the kind of voters we worked so hard to attract, ‘educate’, and put in place.  No one out there in VoterLand asks what is the word for doing the same thing while expecting a different outcome.

Oh well, on the national scene things went a little better.  The Dems won the House, but the best they can do there is start more dead-end investigations of President Trump and the Executive branch, with a possible impeachment swipe at Justice Kavanaugh.  Republicans actually will welcome that kind of blatant congressional obstruction which will demonstrate to the country that just putting the new and more aggressive socialist Left in power is going to do nothing to get Congress legislating for the people’s needs.

President Trump’s first-half accomplishments re the tax cut, regulation rollback, foreign policy, and immigration will stay in place.  The border will not be secured, and healthcare costs will continue increasing with the bastardized system now metastasizing like a cancer.  It will be easy to focus the spotlight on the source of stagnation, and Trump will have something very solid and visible to run on in 2020.  The lamestream will have a hell of time ramping up their Fake News Machine enough to hide the source of grit and gravel grinding in the gears of government.

Meanwhile, the Dems will also have to work out their Gerontology Optics Problem with a leadership headed by Nancy the Penultimate Facelift, and backed up by a crowd of cretins like Mad Max Waters, Elijah Cummings, Comrade Bernie, Vacuum Head Ocasio-Cortez, the ‘Capitalist Bones’ of Fauxahontas, True Colors DiFi, SlyEye Chuckie Schumer, all straight out of Central Casting.  Every one of these will be on daily display filling countless screens across the land.  In the meantime, Trump will have a solid Senate majority to confirm and emplace as many constitutional judges and justices as are on his lengthening short-list.  All in all, not a bad night.

I by my fresh veggies from local farmers Todd. How would eliminating subsidies effect those prices?

[Gregory]

Todd, while that was the idea, the reality is that it hides just how much is being spent on food, or how much of that is shipped with everu ton of food shipped out of the country.

The only way a tomato could ever cost ten bucks would be if it was really fun to eat and, therefore, classified as a Schedule 1 drug.

Plus, after robbing peter to pay paul, it's easy to ask paul for campaign contributions every year or two.

Bored Georgeman,

Following the link, I expected your summary would not be true, and I was not disappointed.

Where to serve notice is a big deal in the law as you can't sue someone in court without giving them proper notice they're being served... and I doubt this was work of "the trumpies".

The SUPREMES will toss the ideas around and come to a conclusion that pisses someone off, but it won't be because "the trumpies" took the side of the bad guys over the good guys. Worst case for the plaintiffs would be a greater delay and moaning from their lawyers, the ones who decided where to send the notice, who would be facing something like double the costs by having to retry the case... although I'm unsure how much proof they would have had to give the judge to enter in a summary judgement of hundreds of millions of dollars.

True Don but most are from an urban population and that's likely to lean Dem. those pesky urban woman you know.

"The new vote count is also remarkable in its own right: The latest addition of votes comes heavily from Maricopa County, one of Arizona’s most populous areas and the home to cities like Phoenix and Scottsdale. These votes indicate that Sinema is on track to win the county — something a Democrat hasn’t done in about 30 years. "

De ja vu all over again -

In his lawsuit against Broward County, Scott and the National Republican Senatorial Committeee (NRSC) allege that officials there are continuing to hide critical information about the number of votes cast and counted. And in a parallel suit against Palm Beach County, Scott and the NRSC charge that the election supervisor illegally used her own judgment to determine voter intent when reviewing damaged absentee ballots.

"I will not stand idly by while unethical liberals try to steal an election," Scott, who is currently Florida's governor, said at a press conference outside the Governor's Mansion, as he slammed potential "rampant fraud" in the race.

Ture dat -

By comparison to the 29-seat loss suffered Tuesday by President Trump’s Republican Party, President Obama’s Democratic Party lost 63 seats in the in 2010 midterm elections.

In fact, the incumbent president’s party has lost an average of 37 seats in midterm elections since WWII.
While it’s typical for the president’s party to lose seats in the House in midterms, it’s highly unusual for the president’s party to gain seats in the Senate in the same election. It’s only happened three times in the past 104 years – in 1914, 1962 and 1970.

Q: Are White women allowed to think for themselves?

“This 20-point margin in the Lone Star State was enough evidence for commentators to lob a variety of creative slurs at white women as a class, who make up about a third of all Americans. Feminists raced to label white women “footsoldiers of the patriarchy,” and left-wing pundits piled on. White female progressives didn’t feel the need to defend their own: “White women we are so gross it’s f***ing embarrassing and we need to f***ing stop,” one feminist warrior tweeted.

Rolling Stone writer Jamil Smith lamented white women’s betrayal, wondering “when they will understand the damage that they do, and not just to themselves.” Others helpfully pointed out that white women who support conservatives can’t really be blamed — after all, in many parts of the country, helpless, backwards females are still in thrall to their misogynistic husbands, who force them to vote Republican.

If this doesn’t sound like feminism, that’s because it isn’t.

This immediate pivot to scolding white women, based on the outcome of a mere two races, exemplifies the progressive tendency to justify every setback with a narrative about unavoidable racial bias and the blinding effect of white privilege. Our political divisions are complicated by race and sex, of course, but these factors don’t themselves explain, for example, why some women, white or otherwise, are conservative. The answer to that riddle — Hint: Women aren’t required by their chromosomes to form a monolithic progressive voting bloc — is one that Democrats appear uninterested in discovering, if they believe an answer other than “self-interested racism” exists at all.

“Crap....if being out of touch with reality is a necessary qualification......”

I still can’t get over M defending some wack job on the View saying Congressional redistricting affects the Senate votes. That had me smiling all day. Of course he had to pivot and add voter suppression and cloud the issue, but congressional districts have zero bearing on state wide elections. I am still smiling. It was the stupidest thing I have heard in a week, maybe 3 weeks. Congressional districts, no matter their makeup or boundaries, have nothing to do the Governor’s race or US Senator’s race.
We truly do live in parallel universes.

Since I am here, blame the electoral system. The rent is just too damn high and I ain’t got no money! Boy, she is almost as dumb as those who believe Senate races are affected by congressional districts in a state.

I love Ms. Cortez's concept of why DC is pricey. Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that that city is a giant cash lamprey on the rest of the country. Prices follow ready cash of course.

I won’t worry too much about the future of our youngest member of Congress. She is from the Bronx but says she is a girl from Queens. Easy to confuse. She will pull in $175k a year to start. No bad for an entry level position...with bennies and an office...and staffer. And there is a whole wharehouse full of furniture she can use to decorate her office. Just remember to use the phones and stationary for official business only.

“Kinda funny the Democrats putting all their hope behind Beto [O'Rourke], a white male, when they’ve successfully chased about all of them out of the party.” —Frank Fleming

“So weird that Russia decided to only hack the Senate elections.” —Eddie Zipperer

My 2nd belly laugh of the week: “Today is more than about Democrats and Republicans. It’s about restoring the Constitution’s checks and balances to the Trump administration.” —House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)

“The Democrats in the House will have to decide just how much presidential harassment they think is good strategy. I’m not so sure it will work for them.” —Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell

Ouch, but true.

,,,Twinkie Toes,,, believe it,,,or not

'''You may have heard some of the more recent stories. In Dodge City, Kansas, a single polling location serves the city's 27,000 (mostly Hispanic) residents, and a local official recently moved that location out of the center of town to a remote location a mile away from the nearest bus stop. In North Dakota, Republicans passed a law requiring that every voter have an ID with a street address, precisely because they knew that many Native Americans who live in remote areas of reservations have no street addresses and get their mail at P.O. boxes. And with the possible exception of North Carolina, there may be no state where African Americans have been targeted more aggressively for vote suppression than Georgia, where Secretary of State Brian Kemp is locked in a tight race for governor with Stacey Abrams.

Kemp is on a vote-suppression tear; one wonders if he isn't jealous of the infamy enjoyed by Kris Kobach of Kansas, another secretary of state running for governor as he oversees his own election, as America's foremost vote suppressor. Kemp has aggressively purged voters from the rolls, used an "exact match" system to toss out registrations for minor errors in forms (like a missing hyphen), which put tens of thousands of registrations (mostly from African Americans) on hold, and watched as country officials limited polling places in African American neighborhoods. And on Sunday, he announced that his office was mounting an investigation into the state Democratic Party over a supposed "failed attempt to hack the state's voter registration system."'

Here's Rep. LaMalfa in the debate with Denney talking about Nevada County antics...
https://youtu.be/HLOr9jo-5KU?t=4766

"if people can behave, right? so we all ask for a positive civil discourse when we meet with people and one-on-one in small groups it works pretty well ... I hear the laughing but the town meetings haven't been so productive sometimes... I used to like them a lot and maybe we'll try them again but if you're not going to be civil, we won't have that sort of discourse."

In other words, Paul, your friends screwed Congressional access for the rest of us. I don't blame LaMalfa one bit and I think his calm denunciation of theor clown antics showed a lot of class. The good kind of class.

[Gregory]

Emery?
Emery?

Punchy, my quotes of LaMalfa were as I was representing from memory, but you just had to twist the words. Please note, everyone, that LaMalfa was not afraid of being asked questions by little ol' Nevada County... but he's not going to waste his time (and those of his constituents who are there being civil) just to take rhetorical pies in the face by the usual clowns.

Congressman LaMalfa, I am a constituent who DIDN'T come to the town hall at our fairgrounds because, listening to the calls for disruption, I figured it would be a mess. You handle it well but I don't blame you one bit for giving up on Town Halls in Nevada County until the usual suspects grow up.

It's getting harder to read some comments anymore cuz it's like the Russians said last century. It's easy to stir up employee envy and anger (towards business owner employers) because they don't know what risks, responsibility and expense is involved.
M commented about all the money that would be coming from fuel and Use taxes like it was a windfall for California's debt is a good example of that ignorance. Because of the illegal corruption we were experiencing...we decided to quit the trucking usiness after around 45 years. We paid all our Use taxes and all required, but it boils down to the morals of those in government who control it.

"Republican Party officials sued Snipes’ office in 2016 over the illegal counting of 180,000 mail in ballots, she admitted that she didn’t know the meaning of the word “canvassing.” Snipes’ office had been opening ballots illegally, without the legally required participation of other members of the canvasing board."

And you let Mitch McConnell open the Senatorial border to let dozens of even worse judges stream freely into the system for life! This whole country is having an extended nervous breakdown, but instead of lifting a finger to prevent it, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi relentlessly insist that this is all just a fun episode of House of Cards and that we can still politics our way to compromise. Not only are both these two corrupted by the fundraising circuit, but they essentially suffer from Marketing Brain, in which strategies are held in much higher regard than actual principles

[Walt]

LaMalfa still won. But the buzzard of Broad St. won't dare go near the real roadkill. Voter fraud done by LIBS.

[Don Bessee]

So can anyone tell me how elections sending post cards that require no action to confirm registrations does anything @ 709? IF you cared to clean the rolls you would require some kind of response, on line, whatever and after a couple of failure to responds they get dumped from the list but they don't.

;-)

[Paul Emery]

Are you saying there was Voter fraud in Nevada county Walt? Denny beats LaMalfa making Nevada county solid blue

[Todd Juvinall]

Barry Pruett p[osted the two ballots he received and I wonder how many others did as well. Our county is purple not blue but when you are a leftwing democrat a one vote margin is enough to make it blue. That is the effect of to much ganja.

As I posted before. LaMalfa was here numerous times and even on election day he was at the headquarters making calls. He kicked denny's ass really good and that makes me very happy. Even Dahle won here so please Paul Emery explain that if we are a blue county.+ Crickets for sure.

[Gregory]

That's right, Paul, and that's different than the various twists you gave it.

So, Paul, of the what, 3%, you don't think 1.5% could be due to the fact LaMalfa didn't come back for any event in or near Nevada County, the brickbats thrown by The Union over no debates in or near Nevada County, the constant pounding by letters to The Union by the same folks who chased out real people from the "town hall"?

The "poll" widget at The Union is symbolic of the thumb they put on the scale for Denney.

You seem to have a pathological drive to find some reason to paint the county irretrievably Blue. It isn't. The area is as balanced between Red and Blue as is possible, and I don't see the GOP side of things trying to claim otherwise. Grow up... the anti-Progressive side isn't going away and it isn't collapsing.

LaMalfa won, decisively and Denney pissed away nearly a million bucks of other people's money to get nowhere.

[Walt]

Did I write any such words to say I even imply that? You Jim Acosta of NC now?
If Nev. Co. is "blue: as you care to crow it is, that just means your and your LIB pals will fuck up the place just like every where else Progressiveness pollutes the ground water.

How bout that Florida vote tampering Buzz? You keep saying it never happened. (Proof the to contrarily has been shown.)

Naaa, you just won't go there..

Trying to help you guys get a grasp as to where you live. This is not the Nevada County of 1980. Todd seems so unhappy here makes me sad. Gregory you seem ok with the changes though.

[Gregory]

Paul, I suspect *if* Todd was unhappy with the changes you would be happy... The dark side of the force is strong with you.

To tell everyone the truth, I don't think there's been a seachange in the last 25 years. The left has gotten futher left and in-your-face nastier, is about all.

[Bill Tozer]

Let the Leftinistas run the show. The winner of the mid-terms is.......

“And how beautifully does that work out for Trump? In Nancy Pelosi, liberals are about to hand to the GOP the gift that just keeps giving. Pelosi is in many polls the least popular politician in America — she’s less popular than even Donald Trump. If the Democrats were a semi-sane party and not handcuffed to the identity politics......

“The midterms were the equivalent of an NFL preseason game. All that matters for the future direction of the country and breaking the back (figuratively) of the far left is 2020 and getting Trump reelected. Given the results on Tuesday, his odds of reelection have gone up — fairly considerably.

In other words, Pelosi will give Americans a front-row seat into what “progressive” governance looks like up front and personal when the crazies are back running the show. It isn’t pretty, but it’s much better for voters to discover the madness of the modern Democratic party now than two years from now when the stakes will be so much larger. Trump finally has what he’s been missing since he vanquished Crooked Hillary two years ago: a foil.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Donald Trump is the biggest winner in last week’s midterm elections.“

[Todd Juvinall]

Paul Emery, I am not unhappy with the changes here. More of your making crap up from whole cloth. I look at each day as a adventure. It was really great to see the people I supported get elected.

[scenes]

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why Donald Trump is the biggest winner in last week’s midterm elections."

You can make that case, although perhaps it's just a mental trick to make losing the House feel better.

If you view Donald Trump as the standard bearer for a new third party which will consume the Republicans (or, as Blue Mob Soul Brother #1 charmingly sez: "pubbers"), then this really isn't a game being played between two parties. Lots of craziness opportunities from Da Mob which won't play all that well in Michigan or Ohio, shared blame for the inevitable stock market decline(s), I can see the idea here.

Dunno if Blue vs. Red matters in Nevada County as it could well be a charred color at some point in any case. Hopefully all those trees in Nevada City that require 3 arborists, prone supplication at the Planning Commission, and many forms to cut down won't be any trouble. At least NC is well informed on 5G and chemtrails.

,,,Bonnie,,,gotta hand it to you as the lone woman to somewhat regularly comment on this site,,,must be the mother trucker experience,,,

,,,but crickets to the economic truth of the following,,,

California’s gas tax was first implemented in 1923 at 2 cents per gallon. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s consumer price index calculator, when adjusted for inflation, that 2-cent per-gallon tax would be 30 cents now.

The last time the gas tax was increased was 1994, when it reached 18 cents per gallon. SB1 increased the tax by another 12 cents, bringing the state’s tax on gasoline to 30 cents per gallon.

Gregory: "To tell everyone the truth, I don't think there's been a seachange in the last 25 years. The left has gotten futher left and in-your-face nastier, is about all."

I thought of a way to measure that.

We could see how much they rudely yell at the parades. Place a decibel meter on any Republican float and measure the results.

[Bill Tozer]

“Trying to help you guys get a grasp as to where you live. This is not the Nevada County of 1980.”

Merely trying to be helpful, eh? Nay, just trying to put people in their place, put folks down, and disguise it all by hiding behind “just trying to be helpful.” Gregory saw through that ‘being helpful’ rouse and called it for what it is: wrapping a bad motive in the guise of a good motive. Helpful to whom? Check your true motives for dishonesty.

“You seem to have a pathological drive to find some reason to paint the county irretrievably Blue. It isn't. The area is as balanced between Red and Blue as is possible, and I don't see the GOP side of things trying to claim otherwise. Grow up.”—Gregory

Scenes and sea changes.
I rarely, if ever, listen to Ben Shapiro for various reasons (personality mostly), but after the election my radio drifted as I snoozed and heard Ben on some broadcast in the still of the night. He is a sharp cookie.

Anyway, Ben offered a theory I have never thought about before. Are we simply reverting back pre-Obama norms? Start at the 35:00 minute mark and listen for 3 minutes or less if you got the time.

Trump lies so much, he can't keep track of the lies he tells. (Disclaimer: These tapes were not doctored by Infowars and distributed by Sarah Huckabee Sanders.)

https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-claims-doesn-t-know-175837036.html

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal concludes after an extensive investigation: "Trump Played Central Role in Payoffs, Despite Denials." (That's the Journal's polite way of saying he lied about that too.)

[Todd Juvinall]

Oh please, you Trump haters come up with the most ridiculous stuff. The WSJ is telling you that the liar Cohen is telling the truth. Please. I would expect you would try and defend yourself if one of your lovers exposed you after signing an affidavit not to. Now the press is saying the video of Acosta accosting the intern is modified. I watched it live. Sorry he did it.

[Todd Juvinall]

Congressman Doug LaMalfa is on the job in Butte County trying to line up help for the fire victims. Where is Denney?

[Gregory]

An interesting piece about the teacher's union rejecting the concept of merit pay for teachers...
http://reason.com/archives/2018/11/09/california-teachers-unions-oppose-paying

That story links to
https://qz.com/334926/your-college-major-is-a-pretty-good-indication-of-how-smart-you-are/

Consistently... education and agriculture degrees share the bottom of the academic barrel over the past 70 years. Agricultural Education is probably bottom of the bottom. I wonder what Audrey Denney would have to say about that?

That story links to payscale.com, that has compiled a comprehensive list of colleges by early and mid-career pay
https://www.payscale.com/career-news/2018/09/the-2018-college-salary-report-is-here

Mid-page is the three schools with the highest mid-career pay of all colleges in the country, all schools of science and engineering. The highest ranked is a liberal arts college of science and engineering. The other two are research universities that grant PhD's.

Looking further... just for the hell of it...
Loyola-Marymount University is 82nd on the list. Not bad considering the what, 1500 colleges in the country? That's where I got my masters, choosing it 'cause it was only a mile from my office at Hughes Aircraft Company.

Northwestern University... the number is... 80th.

Nice going, Jeffie... it outranks LMU by virtually nothing.

[Gregory]

Todd, Denney doesn't have anything comparable to offer as she isn't a member of congress or a member of congress-elect. LaMalfa is just doing his job.

Denney also might live in an evacuation zone and be in line for help; I'd not begrudge her that.

Re. “SlyEye Chuckie Schumer”

“Look at the Jew,” Vati would screech at night after too much beer, alcohol oozing from his thoughts, “observe the Jew’s dark skin, sly eyes, all the Jew’s features are those of the Devil, Hans. The Jew is Satan... And God is German... We are opposites, Jew and German, German and Jew, and so we must destroy the Hebrew enemy...”

[Todd Juvinall]

Comparing the "open secrets" website by state and district to the RCP list of district takes by democrats it is quite the eye opener. The dems spent three to four times what the R's did to win the seats. And those dems that cried about money in politics. What a load of crap.

['''M''']

,,,yes Tricky,,,lots of subtle Aryan freudian slips showing in Trumplandia

[Paul Emery]

That's his job Todd. Haven't heard a peep from our Liar in Chief about the disaster in Northern California.

Denny's lead in Nevada County will likely increase when the next votes are counted. Nevada County is leading the way for changes in district 1. It will take awhile but the Dems dumped us in this District so there is no one else to blame for the cultural isolation politically that has happened to our good County. Kinda like the State of Jefferson folks whose passion I support.

[Paul Emery]

Arizona settling in for Senate flip

Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema expanded her lead to 20,203 votes over GOP Rep. Martha McSally Friday evening as Arizona election authorities continued to count ballots in the state’s uncalled Senate race.

[Paul Emery]

Wow

Women vote 60% Dem in House elections. Looks bad for the ol' Lying Pussy Grabber in 2020

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/11/10/these-5-charts-explain-who-voted-how-in-the-2018-midterm-election/?utm_term=.2517a9634253

[Todd Juvinall]

LaMalfa was your target for do nothing and when he does something it's just his job. You really are off your meds today.

Sinema looks like those "found" ballots in her favorable counties will put her over the top. Another democrat steal. And Denny lost big in the District and her Nevada County numbers show we are a "purple" county.

[Todd Juvinall]

And now we see the regrets of those suburban white women as they are now the target of the left. You are hading us a huge flip for Trump in 2020. Thanks.

[Todd Juvinall]

And the state's mismanagement of our forests goes on. How many people must die and homes destroyed before they admit their forestry practices are not working? But they are all in for "global warming" and refuse to admit that their own actions are what is making California a tinderbox and deathtrap.

[Walt]

Plenty of vote fraud there Paul, Notice it's all from those sapphire blue districts where all the monkey business originates from.
"WOW!! An undiscovered pile of uncounted ballots,, and lucky us!! their'r mostly Lefty!!"
If you can't beat'm,,,, CHEAT'M......
How many times have you stated "there is never any voter fraud"?
Even FL. LIBS are giving the court orders the finger. " What? turn over the ballots?? F**K YOU!"

[Walt]

I see KKKeachie is talking to himself again.

[***M***]

,,,Oh yes,,,Republicans are the party of the working class,,,sure right whatever you say,,,

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who this week became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, called out Fox News for belittling her struggle to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., during a Friday panel discussion on “America’s Newsroom.”

The Fox panelists snickered all the way through their chat on the topic, described in a chyron as: “Self-proclaimed socialist says she can’t afford DC rent.”

Contributor Judy Miller actually laughed after host Bill Hemmer recalled that Ocasio-Cortez ― whose name no one pronounced correctly on the show ― was working in the service industry before she launched into her campaign to represent New York’s 14th District.

“It is bizarre to see 1%-salaried anchors laugh at the US housing crisis,” Ocasio-Cortez, 29, tweeted in response.

[Robert Cross]

"And the state's mismanagement of our forests goes on".-- Todd

and Todd's penchant for repeating trump's absurd claims goes on.

"How many people must die and homes destroyed before"-- morons like Todd admit it's CLIMATE CHANGE that is the cause of the conditions not some bullcrap claims about forest management (which is mostly a federal issue not California's) from the no-nothing liar trump. Birds of a feather.......

[Todd Juvinall]

Robert Cross | 10 November 2018 at 11:31 AM

Oh BoobieC, I have more knowledge in my little finger than you and your leftwingnut pals have in their entire bodies. I suggest it is your policies over the last fourty years that have destroyed the forests. Your hoax of manmade climate change is so unsupportable you have to rely on censorship to keep the truth about you under wraps.

I suggest you get some education about forest management and get back to the thread. Otherwise shut your stupid pie hole of ignorance.

[Todd Juvinall]

Seems like the one acre tree removal THP's have really messed up the state's forests. But hey, the Sierra Club and its goons don't care that your house burns. Quicker to get the usurpers out of the forests.

[Robert Cross]

"Otherwise shut your stupid pie hole of ignorance." getting kind of testy there Todd.. is the weight of your stupidity starting to effect your brain? Only fools think climate change is a hoax. since all of your intelligence is in your little finger, you might want to try pulling it out of your ass.

[***M***]

,,,shut your stupid pie hole of ignorance,,,Todd maybe you need a time out,,,why don't you go play over on your Bad Breathe site?

#dic*head

[Todd Juvinall]

No BoobieC, I destroy your stupid arguments every time you try to match me. You liberals could care less about the thousands of people you have destroyed with your bogus claims. You are a true moron.

[***M***]

,,,Bad Breathe Todd, Why hasn't LaMalfa and the Republican controlled 3 branches of the federal government who love to roll back regulations done anything about our national forests???

[fish]

shut your stupid pie hole of ignorance,,,Todd maybe you need a time out,,,why don't you go play over on your Bad Breathe site?

Speaking of “ time out”.....you’re rambling again dugsKKKi.......probably time for your minder to change you and give you your nap.

[Don Bessee]

Yup!
