California Doing California Things

And as further proof that Newsom hates democracy he’s trying to get a bill on the ballot to gerrymander districts to get more congressional seats. 43 out of 52 is not enough.

He's doing that in response to Trump wanting more gerrymandering in Texas. Other states are preparing to do so too in response.

And hopefully that fails. Not certain how easy that would even be to get into law.

I'm certain TSwizzle made the same complaint about the recent gerrymandering attempt in Texas in some other thread.

He shouldn't be doing it at all. Regardless of the unethical gerrymandering attempts in Ohio and Texas.

Kamala Harris decided she doesn't want to run this particular asylum.

Fancy that, for the first time ever she made a good decision. Thank goodness. If she was on the ballot the idiots here would have voted her in. I can only hope that she makes a run for the presidential nomination. Her and Newsom on the same stage is going to be epic, comedy gold.

Katie Porter?

Oh Lordy, she’s another progressive moron. I heard the former LA mayor Villaraigosa may run. He’s a real dummy.

Anyway, insufferable prick Newsom has signed another bill about high speed rail budget.

So, we know about all the pricks, losers and dummies you don’t like for Governor. Who would you like?

In this case I'm using "crazy" as unable to hold down a job because of mental health.

Okay, my first and last job where I punched a time clock, lasted under a year. I quit due to my mental state bring incompatible with the workplace requirements. It wasn’t the considerable physical hardship, or even the conditions that included chemical and metal vapors, lots of super-loud noises and way too much UV exposure. It was more the production quotas. I loved the actual work but hated the continual mental pressure.

So I went back to the far more relaxed requirements of weed dealing. Somehow the exposure to legal ramifications never weighed on me. And it kept me fed better too.
WAS I CRAZY?

Clarification: "unable to hold down any job because of mental health". Not unable to hold any particular job.

When talking about the respective merits of the Parties and their "visions" for California, it is important to remember that Republicans are open to the possibility of mass killings, and Democrats are not:

California mayor wants to give homeless people 'all the fentanyl they want': 'Need to purge these people'​

"Quite frankly, I wish that the president would give us a purge. Because we do need to purge these people," Parris said.

He didn't say this to a friend with a wire or at a crowded bar, but at a public meeting he knew was being recorded. When asked later whether he was joking, he clarified that he was not. Parris is, and has been, the duly elected and several times over re-elected mayor of a city of 160,000 citizens, of whom he has requested permission to murder 526 in cold blood.

No, Republican "solutions" to California's problems are not acceptable, and should not be tolerable to any loyal American citizen.

Actually, I'll say: good idea. It's not going to result in the purge he imagines, it's going to reduce deaths because most fentanyl deaths are due to varying purity.

California has returned to the top of the national unemployment rankings for the first time in nearly four years. California’s 5.4% rate for June tied Nevada with the No. 1 jobless rate among the 50 states. And California’s economic rivals? Texas was No. 18 at 4%. Florida was No. 26 at 3.7%.

Wait, how is this possible for the 4th largest economy in the world?

I'm looking forward to Newsom's run for president. Anybody else?

There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people asking them.

Because it's not the billionaire class that is looking for work.

The fact the Newsom is once again spending time fussing about what Republicans are doing elsewhere in the country (in this case, bantering with some Republican rando on Twitter) is one of my big beefs with him. He needs to stay focused on trying not to totally fuck up this state. He and Trump are like two peas in a pod when it comes to engaging in petty tantrums with their opposing parties.

Petty tantrums? The GOP is mid-Census gerrymandering... explicitly so in Texas, in order to hold onto the House of Representatives in 2026. Trump stated that the GOP is "entitled" to those seats. This is close to unprecedented.

Yes, Gov. Newsom should be governing a state that is failing to manage the cost of its success with housing becoming unmanageable. But to put Newsom's posts in a pod with Trump's... that is just lazy false equivalence.

I was specifically referring to the Twitter posting when referring to petty tantrums.

This is what we have to put up with in the 4th largest economy in the world

A pitbull was seriously wounded after getting stabbed in Long Beach in an incident that was captured on video. It happened in the early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 2, during a fight between the dog’s owner and a suspect who, as of Thursday morning, has only been identified as an adult male. Graphic footage obtained by Traffic News Los Angeles (TNLA) starts by showing a man armed with a knife walking toward two other men, one of whom is presumably the pitbull’s owner. As the armed man approaches and raises his hand holding the knife, the pitbull charges at him, seemingly trying to protect the man or men behind it. The suspect stabs at the dog, appearing to strike it. Long Beach police later confirmed the dog sustained one stab wound.

Hard to believe this could happen in the 4th largest economy in the world

A suspect has been arrested in a brutal attack on a 70-year-old Sikh man who was bludgeoned with a golf club in North Hollywood earlier this month and remains unconscious and in critical condition, authorities said. On Tuesday, L.A. Police Chief Jim McDonnell announced that Bo Richard Vitagliano, 44, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Singh with a deadly weapon. Officers identified the suspect, who they said is unhoused

LA Times
“Unhoused” = junkie, mental patient.

No arrests were made and no citations were issued when officers broke up a street takeover early Saturday in front of the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, authorities said. Officers were dispatched at about 2:50 a.m. to Figueroa and 12th streets, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section. About 40 to 50 vehicles were performing donut maneuvers in the street and spectators were lighting illegal fireworks, police said.

Kinda wish Trump would takeover LA like he did in DC

I wouldn't doubt that is exactly where this is going. It's not a hard call.

He already did. Nothing happened.

They NG sat around, watched tv, ate their meals, and cost us huge amounts of money. They will do the same in Washington DC.

They are working on it.
