I know I have followers. I assume some of you will see this. Could you please pass the word and/or repost... We need to convince the electorate of California that the overwhelming media campaign claiming just-about-everyone is against Prop 40 is NOTHING BUT PROPAGANDA paid for by the billionaires

If a man murders his wife the average sentence is 2-3 years If a wife murders her husband (usually after domestic abuse) the average sentence is 19 yrs Men are responsible for 90% of domestic abuse Maybe Just maybe women aren't the unstable moody ones 😒

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.
Jonah Goldberg: This is pretty hard to square with everything he’s said about pretty much all the previous presidents — including when many of them were presidents. And the vast majority of people who applaud this are surely hypocrites too. It’s fine not to respect presidents. They work for us.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.
