Do Americans want it?

No.

How many of us can actually go there and be a part of it and enjoy it (or not) live? Very few.

But we do like our hometown parades fireworks and barbecues.

A million dollars a day would house a lot of homeless. Very comfortably.

California does poorly in new business per 100k residents. The number you chose sounds impressive until you look at population numbers.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. And I might even debate that with an honest person.

But it does expose the maga lie that new businesses aren't opening in California.

Just like post #38 does.

There's a national trend of a return to brick and mortar stores. California isn't part of it.

Then they won't be part of a 4 trillion dollar economy.

We wish them well.

Question: is California opening any new "brick and mortar" stores?

AI Overview

+4
Yes, despite some retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond choosing to skip California due to regulatory costs, other retailers are opening new brick-and-mortar stores in the state, and Amazon plans to open large department store-like physical locations there, with others following suit for a variety of reasons, such as expanding into omnichannel retailing or meeting continued consumer demand for in-person shopping experiences.

With AI your maga lies are easier to debunk than ever.

Now do Juanita Broadrick. Kathleen Willey. Paula Jones ...

Ok.

When Broaddrick testified about her alleged encounter with Clinton under oath, she denied having been raped by him.

Linda Tripp, the Clinton Administration staffer who secretly taped her phone conversations with Monica Lewinsky in order to expose the latter's affair with the president, testified under oath that Willey's sexual contact with President Clinton in 1993 was consensual, that Willey had been flirting with the president, and that Willey was happy and excited following her 1993 encounter with Clinton.

In November 1998, Clinton agreed to an out-of-court settlement, paying Jones and her lawyers $850,000 to drop the suit, but acknowledged no wrongdoing and offered no apology;[35] the vast majority of this money was also used to pay Jones' legal fees.[36][37] Clinton's lawyer said that the president made the settlement only so he could end the lawsuit for good and move on with his life.

Unlike Trumpy Bill Clinton was never convicted of any crimes. Sexual or otherwise.

"Trumpers believe the lies in #7 to be true."

If Trumpy supports those lies then, of course, they have to.

"We marched farther than that several times a day, ALWAYS in-step."

Up hill. Both ways! And in the snow!

Sure pops. Now don't forget your meds today.

Gosh I hope they have a lone solder carrying a drone again.

Good practice for whats coming in the Pacific. You don't want your military to be ready?

Practice? In the wrong ocean? To float around in the ocean and pick up trash?

What happened to "presence" foreign agitator?

What's coming in the Pacific? Let me guess. Taiwan? Don't think old demented Trumpy gonna put up much of a fight for that. Especially if China sends him a compliment and a nice bribe.

Gosh I hope they a solder carrying a drone again. That was impressive. Musta scared the BeJesus out of Pooty Pants and Pooh Bear.

Can you imagine the Democrat Mayor of San Jose complaining like this! The ------- nerve to go against the cult!

Yes imagine that. Because that's all you can do.

Because normal people don't live in cults. Maga is a cult. If you belong to maga you have to support and defend and even praise the cult leader (Dear Leader Trumpy) no matter the cost to you or your reputation or the truth.

Democrats are not a cult. Communication is key to progress. If you can speak freely amongst your peers you can accomplish great things. Democracy is messy and we often argue amongst ourselves as we continue to work towards a more perfect Union. If you are really from China this should already be painfully obvious to you.

That's how us Californians became some of the most wealthy humans on the planet.

Maybe you can get some of that action too.

Pro Tip: you are not going to find it by attempting to spread hateful propaganda here.

If the Epstein files show him with underage girls then throw the book at him. I'm not like you Clintonistas who defended Bill Clinton as if your lives depended on it.

Defended Bill? I am actually a bit jealous. Bill Clinton had consensual sex in the Oval Office. Still not illegal in America. And in addition has NEVER been convicted of a crime and has retired to a peaceful comfortable life spending billions on charitable programs. Whats to defend?

Trumpy is an adjudicated sexual abuser and convicted felon. He even admits he likes to assault young women. On tape. And he wants to be King for life and literally steals from charities.

You ain't fooling no one pal. You are one of his most ardent supporters around here and nothing is gonna change that now.

Being convicted of a felony didn't even budget the needle with you maga maroons. All you did was cry foul (and "Lawfare").

Raping your neighbors and causing a civilian passenger jet to be shot down are not among them.

And don't forget bombing innocent civilians and kidnapping their children.

When Russia is willing to accept that they won't get more than Crimea and the other two territories they had control of in 2020 then they need to start negotiating with Ukraine

#3 | POSTED BY TOR

So the bank robbers get to keep the loot they stole in 2020 but they have to give back anything they stole after?

Sounds like a great deal for Russia. I am betting that Ukrainians don't agree. I am betting that an agreement like that would not end anything and result in continued fighting even if it was only guerrilla warfare.

It's a good thing he is a Vet and that this has high public visibility or he would have already been disappeared into a gulag somewhere.

lol. Prove it.

Not sure if that's your real name but should feel bad for anyone actually named Bill Johnson. You have completely trashed the reputation of that name.

If not, create the law and then haul them in.

Denmark has a King. Kings ARE the law. Just haul them in and chain them in the Bloody Tower (all Kings should have one) until they confess their sins. Then execute them.

Trumpy would be so jealous.

"In defending this skimpy process, the Government makes a truly startling argument: that those who entered the country illegally are entitled to no process under the Fifth Amendment, but instead must accept whatever grace Congress affords them," Cobb wrote. "Were that right, not only noncitizens, but everyone would be at risk. The Government could accuse you of entering unlawfully, relegate you to a bare-bones proceeding where it would 'prove' your unlawful entry, and then immediately remove you."

She added: "Fortunately, that is not the law."

While no white male nationalists were harmed by this thread they will be too scared to post here for fear of being slaughtered (metaphorically) by the Truth of it .

If Trump ends up implicated, so be it.

Meaning it would not change a thing and you would still support the Mad King and his hateful agenda 100%.

We already know he is a sexual abuser and hateful perverse deviant. But that doesn't even give you pause. Why would any further evidence of his perversions change your opinion of him and his fascist authoritarian agenda?

"hepatitis filters" Should be HEPA filters.

Thx Siri! You got me again.

Re 37

Here we go again ...

There was no single solution to stopping Covid. The most successful approaches involved a combination of scientific advancements and public health measures, which varied in their effectiveness depending on the context and phase of the pandemic.

Vaccines were the most effective method of stopping the virus.

Followed by masks, Social distancing and lockdowns, Quarantine and isolation, Improved ventilation using hepatitis filters, followed by hand washing after possibly touching contaminated surfaces.

Covid escaped from the Wuhan lab, prove me wrong. Was it intentional?

Naww. It came from Enceladus and was spewed out with water vapor and ice particles into space and traveled on an asteroid thru space to earth. I got this directly from Q.

Prove me wrong.

"We learned all we need to know"

I've read your posts.

You've learned nothing. Less than nothing. If there is such a thing.

There are two basic mindsets people have.

The learn-it-all types that understand that learning is a lifelong process as you cannot possibly know all there is to know.

Then there is the know-it-all types. Like you.

You think you know all you need to know and cannot grow or change you think you already have all the answers.

Good luck with that.

Unless he was planning to devalue the dollar more than the value add of the tariffs, that was never going to work.

#10 | POSTED BY SNOOFY

That would involve math.

You don't actually expect Trumpy to be able to do the math do you? He would either outsource it to an idiot loyalist (who can only give numbers that please Dear Leader) or just not do it.

But it does not matter whether any of this works out for Americans. That's not the point.

It's all about Trumpy grabbing and flexing executive power.

"but that's really more due to a loss of global confidence in the USD than a specific policy that was designed to devalue the dollar."

And Trumpy is completely responsible for foreign policy and any loss of confidence in the USD as foreign policy is practically his main job. Besides faithfully enforcing the law. Which he isn't doing a very good job of that either.
