Some combination of political junkie, media commentary and goofy randomness. About me: parent, English major, teacher, science and tech nerd, spectacularly humble The picture is clearly ai generated and not what I look like. I am not a duck.

California paid $275 billion more in Federal taxes than we got back(~$530 bil β€”$800 bil total fed tax). Our state budget is about $300 bil with deficits ranging $50-$100 bil. Without paying the federal taxes, we could maintain all services, never run a deficit and have ~$200 billion to spare. Hmm.

Timeline for Hesgeth’s strike:

Sept 2 -boat strike

Nov 18 -Kelly et al video on illegal orders

Nov 28 - Wapo article on illegal order in boat strike

Per article, the reporters were shopping comments all over DC. Congress got wind. It’s not all some huge coincidence. Nice move, Dems.

ICE OUT OF MY WALLET β€” Beyond the Ballot Boycott corporations profiting from ICE’s violence, detention, deportation and surveillance. Our money won’t fund oppression.

Well, that’s handy. I cannot exactly cancel Xmas with a 9 year old and his cousins. But I can avoid many of these.

So a judge ruled that Lindsey Halligan never had a job and did not actually do anything. I think her salary and all compensation needs to be returned. I want to get this idea out there, so please like and share, or just rewrite it yourself. Idc.

2/2 I am local to SF. Berkeley also has a few restaurants doing this. The outcome is that locals don’t eat in areas with this practice. Bait and switch tactics just make me avoid eating there. It is not a good experience to guess my final bill. So I just avoid dining in SF. Lots of other options.

It has become standard practice for restaurants in San Francisco and Las Vegas to charge hidden fee at checkout from 3% up to 20%. Both areas are claiming massive declines in diners. SF restaurants fought a statewide ban on hidden fees and were exempted. 1/2

So we need to form a sub Dem party a la β€œthe Teaparty” and primary every Senator running in β€˜26. Senate leadership needs to go, so rank and file get primaried. Everyone folded.

Maybe:
Demp’s -Democratic Progressive

ODC -Original Democratic Congress

ODP -Original Democratic Progressives

Congress Deadlocked Over How To Not Provide Health Care WASHINGTONβ€”After months of committee meetings and hundreds of hours of heated debate, the United States Congress remained deadlocked this week over the best possible way to deny Americans health care.

So easy global warming trivia.

Avg Earth temp ~1960 14C

Avg Earth temp 2010 14.6C

Change in 50 years =4%

On global time scales of billions of years that is (to use a scientific term) horrifically bad. Evolution doesn’t work that fast for plants which rely on heat exchange.

Normally, would not post anything from the Washington Examiner…but they polled every GOP about ending the filibuster. Here’s their graphic. It’s laughably bad for Trump. Also, shockingly solid journalism from WE.

The remand is to determine if there is a factual basis to hand over the proceeding transcripts. I take this to mean that the judge needs to looks at whether any of the claims made by Comey's team appear to be true before handing them over. So is this a review of by the judge of the transcripts?

The plan to blackout Xmas and Thanksgiving is not going to fly. Plan and promote a black Friday blackout or one in January. This is such a bad idea that it seems like a false flag. Plan another No Kings on Black Friday or Boxing Day. This can be done smarter. Not saying that I got the answers.

For me, the shutdown is not about healthcare extensions. After, the GOP runs out ways to punish the people most in need of help first, they will run out of money for troops to invade our cities and other countries, for ICE, for their own paychecks. It's a general strike. Let's feed people locally.

I heard Jeffries interviewed on NPR and (given it was about as friendly as a professional journalist will be) he badly needs media training. I agree with him and understand the issue. It was like listening to high school principal no one Iikes explain how he was very disappointed in everyone.

Suggest your SO take her tire shopping for you and get them installed. NOT TO COSTCO THOUGH! Have you ever ate a chicken wrap while waiting 4 hours for tires? It’s how I met my first wife, then my 2nd three years later and my 3rd five years after that. (I got a job with a shorter commute.)

Yeah, I can’t find it. Seems fake. Mostly because it would be frontpage of at least a few sites. I went and checked Trump’s truth social account. He did by the way tweet for pregnant women not to use Tylenol. That was there. Also, the world seems gray and lifeless now.

Please stop asking Gavin Newsom about running for Pres. He will try. Not a story. Let’s try to avoid a war, foreign or civil, and a rigged election in 2026. Asking about Democratic primaries in 2028 is like asking Elon when Tesla will get FSD.

It was a pretty good anti-tariff ad. It is a shame that Canadians were bullied into pulling the ad. Now no one will ever see it again.

Direct your purchase away from Home Depot. Their owner can do something-see pic.

So Home Depot seems to be letting ICE have free rein. Most items can be purchased easily on Amazon or another hardware store. Direct your traffic away from their stores until they do something. Check the ownership in a pic.
