Retired Corporate Controller. Real estate, private security and excavation industries. Failed to realize I might be present to witness the death of a nation. The last time I voted for a Republican was for Nixon in his first term. Lesson learned.

Trans supporters or Republican shills? Take your pick as they try to crap on Newsome. To threaten a holdout on voting Democrat if Newsome is the candidate makes me think the latter.

FAFO Kind of funny watching the right slobber adulation all over Trump. What isn't realized is that he is going to steal everyone's vote, not just the left's vote. He cares about nobody but himself. FAFO!!

Thought for the day: Which is one more thought than Trump has. The wall runs generally East/West. The sun strikes the north(US side) in the summer but as the sun moves towards winter it will strike the south(Mexican side). So much for a multimillion paint job on one side.

That the Democratic Party is struggling to register voters and raise money says far more about the state of our country than about the state of the party. How in the name of God can there be difficulty in getting people riled up to want to run the current ruling party out of office?

It's fucking hilarious how the right calls the left communists while coincidentally pressuring private companies for multi-million dollar bribes and ownership shares. Every day reveals a new low for this pathetic excuse for governance.
