Merry Christmas all.

I lived in SoCal for a while. Even met my 2nd wife there. What I remember most is the she and all her friends were convinced that they had some kind of magical Spiritual powers. Lol.

Just more idiocy coming from the left that is quite common. Newsome will probably be a 2024 presidential candidate so he's doing what he can to guarantee 99% of the black vote. As governor reparations for the state but as president reparations for the whole country.

Newsom is a somehow related to Nancy Hitler Pelosi and is as progressive as Bernie. I would not for him if he were running for dog catcher.

Firstly, California was one of the first states to pass a fair housing act in 1963 and 5 years later no thanks to democrats Johnson signed the federal fair housing act. If there were any widespread housing discrimination today it would be in the courts and plastered all over the news. The proposed costs to taxpayers would be untenable as California, nor any state would have enough money to give each recipient the sums they are talking about. California has never had the advertised surpluses even with the pandemic giveaways as they never factor in their billions in unfunded CalPers retirement liability.

Secondly, I like most people I know are descendants of early 20th century immigrants who as far as I know never owned a slave and should not be required to make amends for something they had no participation in.

The argument of mass incarceration falls a bit short of the mark. We’re more blacks incarcerated in the 80’s and 90’s in that rock cocaine versus powder cocaine argument. You betcha! The reason wasn’t as much about racism as it was about opportunity. Cops like putting bad guys in jail (trust me, I know personally) and they could go into any ghetto in America and watch hand to hand buys in broad daylight all day long. The people trafficking in powder cocaine were much more clandestine. Any body knows you have to work your way up the food chain to get to the leadership in Crips and Bloods (who were ravaging the streets). So was their a higher percentage of blacks jailed? Yes, but at the time it was the law (ask Kamala).

Lastly, if some semblance of this were to pass don’t you think the attorneys representing Native Americans, WWII Japanese descendants and others would be standing in line? Are we going to give the Southwest back to Mexico. Where would it stop?

Good points all.

But you are proud to have voted for Trump. It's legal, but I can't imagine someone being proud of it. Because other states have checked their morals at the border is no reason we should. This was one of your more child like posts.

I was intelligent enough to vote against Biden, were you.

That is indeed a scary thought Noisesome as a presidential candidate — rampant and blatant socialism at it “finest”.

Trump was far superior to 'Lets Go Brandon' and you and your ilk are just a typical Brandanettes. There is nothing to say positive
about Joe. He and his supporters have no morals to fall back in.

thom w Loc: San Jose, CA

Absolutely. Unlike you and Trump, I don't believe he can do no wrong. Perhaps you can explain the stolen classified documents.

thom w Loc: San Jose, CA

I would think your continued support for Trump would say more about Trump than I ever could.
