Rural Northern California, interested in all things politics. I am a junkie for local campaigns—DA, judge, sheriff, county supervisor, you name it. Living in a county where more people are registered Democrat but the Republicans are the ones who vote.

I turned on my surveillance layer in MapQuest and I, too, am shocked by how many readers there are in a town of 4,000 people.

John Roberts: lifetime job. No term limit. No election. The man who decided a president can’t be prosecuted for official acts. Here’s the one thing he doesn’t control: Congress can impeach him. Most people have no idea. Spread it.

Well, I once made a hotel reservation for Portland Maine when I meant Portland Oregon, so I do understand how it happens… But it wasn’t $25,000! LOL LOL LOL

Although come to think of it, a woman being the only one punished for the same behavior as the rest of them would also be on brand.

Is anyone else tired of seeing headlines saying, “Trump panicking. . .”? I have yet to see any behavior of T that show he is in a state a panic. A state of drowsiness, yes. A state of irritability with reporters who ask inconvenient questions, yes. A state of moronic-ness, yes.

I served in multiple authoritarian states, both communist and otherwise--Russia, Vietnam, Iraq, the Sultanate of Oman, and Ukraine before the Orange Revolution brought in democracy. One common thread among all of them is government spending on propaganda to glorify the dictator/sultan.

White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’ | CNN Politics
The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

I called my Congressman the first week of T 1.0 to ask for impeachment for violating emoluments re the Old Post Office. He mocked it later in a town hall. But failure to stop it right from the start has led directly to where we are.

I listened to a R candidate for congress yesterday who pointed out that Calif drivers pay $1.30/gallon in gas taxes and then later said our gas was $6/gallon not because of the war, but because of our gas taxes. The math wasn’t mathing.
