Wait until the measles and Covid get together.

The United States has recorded roughly 2,777 confirmed measles cases and 35 outbreaks, marking the highest total number of infections reported in over three decades due to declining vaccination rates. About 93% of these cases involve individuals who are unvaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown.

Another interesting fact is that:

A measles infection causes immune amnesia, wiping out 11% to 73% of the body's pre-existing immune memory cells and antibodies against other diseases like the flu, bacteria, and previous vaccines. This leaves the body vulnerable to unrelated infections for months or years.

There's a better chance for you dying of AIDS than me dying from COVID.

Go ahead. Dare the Gods to strike you down.

Last time I did that my sewer backed up.

Covid cases are currently on the uptick.

So good luck with that!

To that I say, look at CA budget, and tell me how come CA isn't a utopia?

Oh you poor thing. Show us on the doll where that mean old California touched you!

No. We are not "utopia". Please tell us which state is!

We here in California are still working on it.

But we are a more perfect Union than most states. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere!

Our bean pickers would rather be here than anywhere because they are the happiest bean pickers in the world!

You should hear them down in the San Joaquin Valley just a singing in the fields.

My ancestors were French... So, yeah boy. And they owned a third of this continent at one time.

So I guess your family "culture" includes Liberty Fraternity and Equality then?

Isn't that pretty much the same as Diversity Equality and Inclusion?

Seems a lot like that to me. So perhaps you need to report to the Ministry of MAGA Truths and get re indoctrinated or did you already shed that silly French Equality nonsense?

While we have you here there are no Jews or blacks in your ancestry are there?

Wanna just make sure you are not the "Wrong Kind of American".

The saddest part is that you think your country's history doesn't affect you today so you think you don't need to know it.

And if you don't know the history of where we came from and how we got here then how can you possibly know where we are going?

I think I heard somewhere that once (in the Before Times) there was once a president who did balance the budget and was actually able to reduce the deficit! So it's possible!

Hmmm. Now who was that guy ? Wonder how he did it!?!

Oh well must be just another myth lost in the sands of Time and now we will never know how it was done.

Isn't that now USS President Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy?

They haven't taken the tarps down yet but when they do it will probably say

The USS John F. Kennedy refurbished and brought to you by Donald J Trump your favorite president.

"The "governments" you speak of consisted of a chief and a couple elders"

They also didn't have churches so they obviously had no religions either. Good thing we brought them Civilization and Jesus and saved them!

Can I get an Amen Brother?

I remember when conservatives pretended they cared about the debt.

That would be when a democrat controlled the White House.

Republicans only care about the debt when Dems have the reigns so they can use it to block any and all democratic public welfare and healthcare programs designed to help Americans.

Left to their own devices, the natives here would still be knapping stone tools and eating corn mush. Look at the reservations today, they're much like the inner-city projects - not much has changed.

Stealing their lands their languages and cultures and herding them into reservations with no resources had nothing to do with their current states of poverty. Right?

Europeans brought you every good thing you have today.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas domesticated and cultivated nearly 60% of the global food supply, including staples like corn, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, beans, and chocolate. These vital crops were developed and shared through thousands of years of sustainable agriculture and land stewardship.

GFY with your white Christian nationalist nonsense and ignorance.

There was no established government here. Natives often killed each other, took slaves and sold their own children as property. Just STFU raetard.

POSTED BY LFTHNDTHRDS

Americans often kill each other now. We took AND brought slaves.

We have pedophiles who rape our own children. How are we any bettter?

Oops! Shoulda quit while you were behind.

Your historical ignorance is showing again.

Before colonization, Native American and Indigenous societies across the Americas featured highly sophisticated, diverse governance systems ranging from participatory consensus democracies and confederacies to centralized chiefdoms and imperial states. Power was largely decentralized, communal, and rooted in kinship, balancing individual liberty with collective responsibility.

The Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy: Bound by the Great Law of Peace, five (later six) nations in the Northeast shared a federalist model combining regional self-government with a central council.

The Muscogee (Creek) Confederacy: Utilized a town-based system with specialized civil and military leaders, featuring restorative judicial processes aimed at healing community rifts rather than punitive isolation.

Pueblo Communities: Operated through cooperative, consensus-driven systems in the Southwest, often integrating spiritual and civic leadership via respected elders and societal councils.

Mesoamerican and Andean Empires: Societies like the Aztec and Inca developed large-scale imperial states with complex bureaucracies, centralized taxation, extensive road networks, and stratified administrative governance.

Thank you for the opportunity to teach you actual American history.

"Boomers it's you, and only you.."

Trumpy is a boomer.

Now I have to report you to the Ministry of MAGA.

There goes your visa and your pardon.

Boomers always thinking its everyone else's fault. Boomers it's you, and only you, the spending spree started under you and hasn't stopped under you.

It's been said for years that far more US politicians are atheists than would ever admit it. Which as far as I know has always been zero.

Jared Huffman. My representative to Congress.

In a 2017 interview with The Washington Post's Michelle Boorstein, Huffman identified as a humanist and said "I suppose you could say I don't believe in God." Previously in his career, he had declined to discuss his religious beliefs or apply any label when asked.[54] Huffman is the only elected member of the U.S. House who openly describes himself as religiously unaffiliated and a secular humanist. Huffman is also the only member of Congress who openly rejects the existence of God.[55] He has also stated that he doesn't believe in life after death.[56]

And now you know there is at least one honest politician.

This was all for the Boomers, you're over paying, have inflation, can't buy a home because of boomers and their crybaby attitudes about the future generations.

The Peace Train?

Still waiting for the Board of Piece.

I could use a good piece right about now.

We are gonna need a trillion dollar slush fund to restore all the Americans who have been harmed by the(impeachable) abuses of power this President exerts against us everyday.

Teatards like Dingaling continue to try and normalize Trumpy's hateful behavior towards women.

It's pretty disgusting and offensive to watch. Which is probably why they do it. The rage baiters have no moral compasses and seek approval from their toxic peers.

Even more disgusting after hearing about the firing of the NSA analyst because they were Trans.

Yup. Just as ...

Most FAA rules for airlines are from the results of crash investigations and dead passengers.

Also from my AI:

Comparison to Others(at least in my lifetime).

Past presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson (on Vietnam), Richard Nixon (on Watergate), and Bill Clinton (on personal conduct) told major, consequential lies. However, historians and presidential scholars note that those falsehoods were generally strategic exceptions or defensive reactions.

In contrast, Trump's pattern of untruths spanned trivial matters, easily verifiable facts, and major national policy.

And yes I thought Bush was bad and even evil for lying us into a war.

But I have never seen anything like Trumpy and his lies in MY lifetime.

Unlike other parts of California, this MAGA county allows concealed guns in state government buildings.

Probably will too until they find out (again) why that's a very bad idea. But of course by then it will be too late for the victims.

I believe were it not for using mail-in ballots, the Capitol break-in would not have occurred.

#122 | Posted by BillJohnson

I believe if not for Trumpy LOSING the election fair and square and having his fragile diaper baby ego crushed and who then INVITED all the insurrectionist to the capitol and then INCITED them to riot THEN the Capitol "break-in" and attempted insurrection would not have occurred.

Ah, the rule of law...

It's not just the rule of law this administration is undermining.

It's the spirit of the law.

Same.
