California is totally F % & K E D under Democrats

[Dos Equis]

I really have a hard time wrapping my head around a coastal town burning to the ground while sitting next the ocean.  Same thing with Lahaina, Maui.

Some massive failures of government in both California and Hawaii.

Another red pill moment.  Some people are starting to wake up.

NEW: LA Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong says it was a mistake for his paper to endorse Karen Bass, says competent people should be elected, not professional politicians.

While I'm glad people are waking up, this is not some profound concept.

"We endorsed Karen Bass. I think right now, that's a mistake. And we admit that."

"I think we were one of the few to say competence matters... the interesting thing is that maybe we should think about how we elect people on the basis of did they actually run a job?"

"Did they actually make a payroll? Do they understand what it is?"

"Rather than having professional politicians whose only job is ready to run for office."

It's up to Mayor Bass to show some spine and reject this, but I'm pretty sure she's too ideologically attached to it.

It's working.

I will be surprised if she does the right thing.  Their ideology is like a cult.

Between raising taxes and ICE, LA is going to be empty soon.

Good job Newscum!

Good job Newscum!

Imagine what he can do for the country after what he did to California?

Now he wants to redistrict CA to give dems the advantage. The guy is a first rate prick.

Redistricting is the name of the games these days. Texas Republicans are currently undertaking efforts to redraw congressional districts in the state, with the aim of creating an advantage for Republican candidates. Trump approves. Will Abbot change his previous stance against this?

Will Newscum change his stance? Or will he give repubs another thing to use against him in his run for the presidency?

Hot, dusty, expensive and full of gays.

Hot, expensive gays.

Sold!

LOL
Friend of a friend was recently out there and when I met him he commented that he didn't realize Palm Springs was home of the gays. He was a bit overwhelmed with the faggotry.

Real Estate prices are comparable to what they are in the Portland Metro area according to Zillow and Redfin. The cost of living is 30% higher than the national average in Portland while in Palm Springs, it is only 20% - 25% higher. Here it is cold and wet 9 months out of the year, instead of hot and dusty. Take your pick. Oh, and Portland is also gay friendly. LOL!

What I take from your post is that gay friendly cities are miserable.
