  1. Yep. When I was in California one thing we knew was you better be on your P's and Q's there in the business world. If you were a national corporation it was understood that California was where the majority of your lawsuits were going to come from. Hiring policies were more stringent, as were most workplace laws for both sides. Texas is pretty boss friendly by comparison.
  2. Well you know they aren't going to Hyde Park. The 60's will run them up out of there. Lol
  3. Meanwhile you guys vote in guys worse than this for your president. Let me just circle around a bit and say it's weird that you couldn't think two moves ahead and see that once you posted this you were going to get lambasted by people here on the criminals currently in the GOP. But carry on.
  4. Lol. I know the history. Was there for some of it, but never had that experience from an officer that wasn't of the paler per variety. Never saw the executioner tattoo on a black cop. Flame away.
  5. You can help the Sheriff. They are part of the community. But ICE? Hell no!
  6. Though, I would love to see him try. He would get a few rounds off. Then you would hear this........
  7. You must be skirting around the edges. We still in there.
  8. Ever live in California? Probably not. It's weird how you folks think California is lawless. Guy has a loaded firearm in his car in Texas. Legal. California? Illegal. Cali has a 3 strikes law. California has all kinds of gang injunction rules that I've never seen here. There are so many things that point to you not knowing what you are talking about. Everyone has rights in California which makes it much easier to run afoul of the law.
  9. Newsom
  10. That's because they aren't doing this in Texas. For a conspiracy theorist, you sure have a hard time putting this together. Could it be that they are doing this in California because they see Newsome as a threat?
  11. Ice goes into the bluest place in these here Unites States but "the riots are being funded"? Also, there was no riot.
  12. The only domination that guy has seen is his regular visits with his "Mistress".
  13. I can tell you this. Police/Soldiers are going to start dying if they venture south of the 10 freeway.
  14. I get that Doc, but look around you. Even with all his stupidity and flipping on and off of the tariff light switch, Fascism is taking root at Blitzkrieg speeds. The thing is, it doesn't have to be perfect to be oppressive. Dumb people can absolutely push a country into Authoritarianism. In fact, a lot of the worst in history were exactly that. Regimes with brothers and cousins running depts way above their pay grades. 6-9-25, less than 6 months from Inauguration. We have sent 100's to what is basically a death camp in another country. We are kicking in doors and raiding restaurants. We have military boots walking the streets of our largest metroplex to quiet protesters. We've imprisoned University students for protesting, and threatened to pull funding if the schools didn't "get it under control". We've threatened and pulled University funding unless those same schools didn't pull programs we don't like. We've erased part of our history because DEI, and threatened Corps for retaining any such programs. We've closed a bunch of programs at the federal level, and pulled funding for research. Even the Nazis weren't moving this fast. Right now, the Legislative Branch is silent. The Judicial is compromised at best. We are a Supreme Court ruling or two away from a full out Authoritarian regime. 6 months in. What will it look like in 12 months? 18 months? 42 months? I can tell you one thing for sure. It's not going to get better. How much worse is the question.
  15. That is true. Been awhile since we got some good ole fashion police brutality. As a former resident of Los Angeles, these police and military better bring their A game. LA knows a thing or two about rebelling. Trump is putting these guys' life in danger for no reason. People are going to be taking shots at them randomly at night just because they can. Standing on the corner at 3am in uniform is dangerous.
  16. I don't know man, the summer of 2020 was pretty crazy.
  17. True, but he isn't the one pushing for Authoritarianism. The Heritage Foundation is and breaking democracy is their whole goal with Project 2025. The only thing standing in their way is Trump and his Cabinet's incompetence. Even still, they've done a pretty bang up job in only 6 months while being imbeciles. If they keep the pedal down all the way through the finish line we will be looking at Russia 2.0, where Trump get's re-elected with 70%of the vote.
  18. Yeah sorry bro. We went from Biden to full Gestapo in 6 months. We are a few judges swinging their dicks around from full capitulation by the judicial AND legislative branches. Let me remind you again that it's only been 6 months. Dude has attacked every institution and ruined 80 year alliances in just 6 months. Now we are wondering what elections will look like 18 months to 3 1/2 years from now? If it continues like it has these first 6 months then there won't be any(at least not real ones). Dude told you that you won't have to worry about anymore elections. Not sure why you won't believe him.
  19. Fascism comes for everyone eventually. Everyone.
  20. Weird it's like they are having a hard time finding criminals.
  21. The bases of the parties ARE different. However, when you do things like the 94 crime bill the R's come right back and remind brown people that Biden was the guy who put that together. Then you a good chunk of your minority vote in 2020 and 2024. The Republicans also throw the economy at the feet of the Dems because the cost of goods skyrocketed when you were in office. Being a centrist we did little to help on that front. The market was good, sure, but the layman doesn't pay attention to the market. Biden, being a conservative Dem, didn't show enough outrage for the little person, and that is why we are where we are. Do you think if AOC was President she wouldn't be screaming at the top of her lungs about the cost of goods? Do you think she wouldn't be trying to put pressure on entities like Kroger, who admitted to price gouging? The people we have put in office have not been focused on the layman, and that is why we've lost them. Instead, we allowed the R's to point at minorities and blame them for the mess and get the hillbillies all riled up.
  22. 1980-Jimmy Carter 1984-Walter F. Mondale 1988-Michael S. Dukakis 1992-Bill Clinton 1996-Bill Clinton 2000-Al Gore 2004-John F. Kerry 2008-Barack Obama 2012-Barack Obama 2016-Hillary Clinton 2020-Joe Biden 2024-Kamala Harris We have largely been running the "straight white male" playbook for 40 years. The only two times it worked was when the candidate was damn near a Republican. Those choices have gotten us where we are. The difference between the parties has become so barely distinguishable it allows the Republicans to use "identity politics" to differentiate between the two. No more of that shit. We need to energize the apathetic voter to come out and participate like Obama did or our politics will never change. Ever.
  23. Moved the conversation over here for obvious reasons- First and foremost pivoting to different wording isn't going to work. You DO understand that this isn't about a demographic that is fatigued with the attention paid to marginalized groups, right? This is a political party that wants to eradicate what they see as inferior humans. They are starting with what they feel they can get away with. Erasing of black history. Using DEI to push black people out of high level spaces. Attacking brown immigration, specifically Hispanics. They are starting here because it's what can work at the current juncture. Once they further erode the constitution they will come for the citizens next. We are 6 months in and they are at full on war with the Judicial. They want this land straight and white, and they want to consolidate power into the hands of the president who will create policy that the ruling class wants. If they could get away with lining all the marginalized group in front of a firing squad they would. That being said if you are the Dems you don't take one step backwards only to be seen as "they are both the same". You hold your ground or you lose this country entirely. Every step backwards you take is another step to normalize this bullshit agenda they are pushing. Next thing you know 1939 Germany. We learned that lesson these last 10 years with Trump. When he first popped on the scene with his bullshit, he was the only one that was playing the shock and awe, cruelty is the point, insult you to your face, out in the open racist bullshit. Now look. The entire Republican party is that now. Why? Because we allowed it, and now there are no normal politics. Draw the fucking line in the sand and stand 10 toes down on it. Retreating is not an option. Turning our backs on marginalized groups to attract moderate Rs is not an option.
