  1. And TFG's name and signature will be on the checks. You can count on it. During the height of the COVID outbreak my deceased father got one with that guy's name on it. I am not a fan of any politician trying to frame government services of any kind coming from an individual. They should say, "courtesy of your fellow taxpayer" or something similar.
  2. I think someone else also brought this up, but LA gets some of its water from the Owens Valley. Technically not the Central Valley since I think it lies just to the east of the crest of the High Sierras and generally slopes to the south. There may be some other water projects of which I'm not aware, but Mullholland was best known for draining the Owens Valley dry. But as we sit here and have a rational discussion about the particulars we might lose sight of the fact that TFG actually believes there's a twist valve somewhere that will magically divert limitless water from Canada to LA. It's just evil politicians in CA that are preventing it for some unknown reason. I wish everyone on the board the best of luck that we, and the country, survive this era. God help us all.
  3. Never mind the realities! Even water from the southern Central Valley would still require pumps uphill to get to the LA area. To the best of my knowledge, such pumping stations don't exist. This idiot actually thinks valves and pumps controlling water heading downhill into the SF Bay area could just magically be diverted to LA, doesn't he?
  4. Definitely unqualified. Most? Maybe, but I present to you...
  5. He also stated that aid would go through "us" (him). So I assume, bend the knee, you get aid. Alabama and Mississippi already kiss his ass, so they'll be covered. California, on the other hand, can get fucked. A reporter asked about conditions on North Carolina since he's already applied two conditions on CA aid (one of them related to voter ID). Trump of course, made no demand of NC. Equality under the law no longer applies. But we already knew that.
  6. Did anyone have getting rid of FEMA on their bingo card?
  7. Because they are just going to cure it with Ivermectin! Mel Gibson's "research" proves it.
  8. FIFY
  9. Texas wasn't in the game. Why would they?
  10. But they don't want DC to become a state, with over 10 times that population.
  11. Providing the pretext for Marshall Martial law and a suspension of the Constitution. And our grand experiment would over due to a self inflicted wound. I'm not saying the riots would be unwarranted, mind you.
  12. You think Trump will be OK if CA somehow withholds its tax money, even as he tries to choke the state out? Not happening. And yet somehow, lots of R's in this state will still vote for him. And yes, provided he continues to live, there will be a push to let him run a third time.
  13. Estonia and Latvia also. So that comes out to six countries in total. How could Russia possibly survive with NATO "on its doorstep"?
  14. Their preferred country of refuge should they be driven out of the country, God willing?
  15. Frohe Weihnachten
  16. Elon Musk endorses far right AfD (Alternative for Germany) in the upcoming German elections. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-alternative-for-germany-election-far-right-nazi-past-rcna185018 Surprise!
  17. I never met Bob, but I did work with Oliver in the past. Very sorry to see him have to go through this.
  18. In no particular order, Healdsburg, Windsor, Sebastopol. Glen Ellen is nice, but more fire prone (a friend of ours lost their home there a few years back). And if you want a larger city instead of a town, Petaluma is pretty good too. There's not much built up on the coast of Sonoma County. It's windy, rugged and takes a while to get to from further inland. No major roads coming in from the east, just the twisty 2 lane variety. It does have some nice hiking though.
  19. I live in Sonoma and love it. We don't have kids with us, so I have no informed opinion on the schools here. The weather is great. The wine is great. The political climate (for me and I assume others on this thread) is great. The downsides? Taxes are higher. Home prices are higher. There's always a fire risk in the fall, particularly if you live in a more rural area. Marin is a center for anti-vax sentiment I believe, even if not MAGA. It might be even more expensive than Sonoma. There is no paradise on Earth. It's all compromise. On balance, Sonoma is a winner for us.
  20. <Dr. Pepper>Happy Playoffuary!</Dr. Pepper>
  21. Here we go again. You see Pete, the whole thing about NATO is, we haven't had to "do that" again in 75 years. In other words. It has worked. Quite well.
  22. Yep. Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) from Oakland to SF. Plans for, or working on I forget, a second tube.
  23. Most Kazakhs are neutral. Of those who aren't, most support Ukraine. At least that's my reading of it.
