Bravo!!!
One Star Google review! LOVE IT! WE need every democrat in office everywhere, local, county, state and national to be talking just like this, in this kind of plain language. If Newsom and Pritzker started it, more power to them... let them inspire more and more democrats to call it out plain and loud!

(34,282 posts)For press conference to announce redistricting in California, fuck you Republican goddamn traitors😡
Now everyone should be prepared for the bad news, any red state that does this the Supreme Court will hear the case probably and say its OK and any blue state that does will be taken to court and the Supreme Court will say it is not OK but until that happens lets go.

(7,438 posts)that if that would happen with SCOTUS, Eliot, that it would be the absolute last straw before you saw massive uprisings at the inequity of the situation. That's probably white trump is putting together his "rapid response" storm troopers... he knows he's past his sell by date. He lost US a long time ago; but Epstein killed him with Magas. The only people he has on his side are the magas who are as narcissistic as he is, and every bit as sadistic as he is. And I refuse to believe that a full 1/3 of our country are the same type of emotionally broken know nothings.

RWRE = right wing religious extremists
These fools believe the are heaven sent and that is total BS

(7,438 posts)but they DO believe they have a divine mandate. And to achieve that mandate, they believe they can commit any crime, break any commandment, commit murder and more and God will forgive them... because they're doing it for "Gawwwd"....
I hate to say this, but one thing that has happened to me since trump in 2016 and beyond is that I lost any faith at all in ANY gods. I once counted myself as spiritual, and I've had a real crisis of faith. If there were any kind of higher power, why would It allow such a beast to do the evil he does and get away with it? It has truly caused me upset I can't even describe, worse than when I left the Christian church decades ago.

(17,059 posts)He has cried numerous times with the Uvalde families. He is the real deal.
He lost in the primary against Colin Allred. I supported Allred, of course, but I felt like Gutierrez would have had a better chance of beating Ted Cruz.

(89,060 posts)As YOU said, sir: time after time
You keep voting for the GOP and expecting response and responsibility, and you keep getting disappointed. Time after time.
Gee whiz
if you expect a better result, why havent you considered voting for a better and more responsive party for a change. The GOP keeps wanting you to give them power. Have you given ANY thought at all to switching parties (and giving that power to the Dems for a change?)? Itd be a change for THE BETTER!!!
