Has President Biden

[gregj410]

Dead people don't vote.

Now that’s dripping with irony

[v8vega]

They do in California

[v8vega]

Illegitimate Biden is always saying "that's not who we are" now we leave our own behind to get killed.

The gun control debate is over when you leave 600,000 assault rifles to a hostile nation.

[Neil]

As opposed to GW Bush and company who got 100,000 Afghans killed and 2,500 + Americans killed in a 20 year war that need not have occurred. This was the most successful end to the conflict we could have hoped for. As for Biden being illegitimate, tell that to the thousands of Republican poll workers who saw to it that the election was fair and honest. If you believe the fascist lies of the biggest liar in American history, you are colluding in the demise of the American Republic. You will get the fascist autocracy you ask for possibly. Remember the prophetic words of one anti- Nazi. Trump is a fascist like Hitler and Mussolini, without doubt. You vote for him, you are voting for our own personal Hitler. Trump, like Hitler, believes in the bigger the lie, the better. He did that as a young man to his father, according to his niece. Now he's trying to do it to the American people.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

9-11 memorials sure cut into illegitimate Bidens nap time.

We - and the Afghans - deserve the government we get.

My prediction - we are a smart enough nation to relegate the autocrats to the Father Coughlin/McCarthy/Limbaugh lineup. I may be flat-out wrong, but I may still be alive when this shakes out in 2024.

Wish us luck. It could be that Texas will lead us out of this mess.

Well Mr Turner. As long as all you liberals stay in California the rest of the country will be just fine. and you will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo for real when Southern Cal become part of Mexico again. Been seeing a lot of pictures of your newly made citizens flying the Mexican flag.....

[Neil]

Is the Mexican flag worse than the confederate flag? I don’t think so.Unless you’re a Native American your grandparents or great-grandparents or something like that came from somewhere else. The liberals are starting to move to Texas and Florida and other places and replace the idiots running those governments with people who actually care about other human beings .

[HONDO74]

Just as bad considering the Mexicans are descendants of Spanish conquistadors that invaded the southern part of north America. This is why they are taking down statues of Columbus and changing the name of Columbus day to indigenous people day. Have you taken down that statue of Columbus in New York yet,

Presently it's the drug cartels that are running Mexico. Got to keep all those drug addicts in California supplied

[Neil]

There are probably more drug addicts per capita in Missouri and other rural states than in California. Most Mexicans are not descended from conquistadors, who pretty much never stayed around. They are mostly descended from ancient Maya, Aztec and other indigenous peoples, who were building pyramids when our ancestors were running around naked in the forests of Europe, to paraphrase Disraeli. They certainly have more right to North America than arriviste fascist Europeans like Trump and his ilk.

Personally I'm fine with taking down Columbus and similar racist tools of the the founders of the Spanish Inquisition . But I'm not Italian-American. I say let's take down Columbus and put up a statue of Amerigo Vespucci, or better yet, Enrico Fermi if we need an Italian hero. Columbus had next to nothing to do with North America, whereas Vespucci gave America its name. And Fermi helped save us from the Nazis, fascists and Japanese Empire in the 20th century.

California haters are just jealous.
The beach is four miles from my house. The mountains are an easy half-hour drive. My airport is eleven minutes from my couch. Nobody smokes anymore. All my friends - even most of the right wing nuts - are vaccinated, and wear masks when appropriate. We still have running water (for now).
I love Texas -takes me two days to fly from El Paso to Nacogdoches. Always nice folks. Could not live in that heat. Can travel through.
The thing about Texas - it just went off the deep end, alienating moderate Republicans, while trying to protect itself from an influx of maybe left-leaning Latinos. The ripples of that extremism may yet affect other states. We'll see.

[Neil]

Agree Texas has many virtues and people's politics usually have no bearing on whether they are nice or humane individuals.

But passing a law that turns citizens into vigilantes is a truly repulsive move, and will almost uncertainly be found unconstitutional. If not, can you imagine the laws in blue states that will be passed making appearing in public without vaccination a civil offense, and empowering citizens to sue those individuals who offend? Not a way to run a society. The beginnings of the end of the social compact.

What is also likely to happen, I'd guess, is that the Justice Dept. as long as it is a Democratic executive, charging these vigilantes with violation of the civil rights acts, which carries potential for prison terms, not just fines. What a mess this is going to be if the Supreme Court doesn't do its job and makes a political decision regarding the Texas anti-abortion law. A law that allows this sort of persecution of those with different beliefs whose actions have no bearing on the vigilantes' own well being, but offends their misplaced sense of religious righteousness.

I lived in California for 30 years 1950 to 1980. And I have said it before it was a fabulous place to grow up for a young person. I have no regrets. Spent many hours on the beaches from Redondo/ Manhattan to Playa Del Ray Surfun in the daytime and beach parties at night. Lived in Hawthorne. where I graduated from high school Went to school with the guys that later became the Beach Boys. Spent many hours cruising Hawthorne Blvd burning up 30 cent a gallon gas.

What more could a young person ask for. Fun FUN Fun. the beaches , hot cars and hot girls. I married a California girl. She was born in Hawthorne. Bought our first house in Hawthorne when we got married. Around 1970 the state bought the house because we were in the path of the new Century freeway. Moved to Garden Grove.

When it comes to aircraft I worked for Airearch Aviation at LAX. Executive aircraft like the DH125, Falcon 10/20s Lockheed Jet stars and Grumman Gulf streams 1/2&3 Doing custom interiors. In the late 60s we bid on and got the contract to do the upstairs lounge lounge and 1st class in the nose of Pan AMs 747s They were the kickoff customer for the plane. The company opened up a new facility to do the work close to Long Beach. I went with the new facility, We kept getting more work with the airlines. As the company expanded I became the supervisor of the plastic shop Had about 50 people under me and I was just in my mid 20s at the time.

Didn't leave Calif because of politics. It was just getting too over populated and expensive for our comfort zone.

In 1977 I joined the western division of TCA and then 2 chapter of TTOS and a smaller MTA. I still had all my trains that my dad bought for me after WW2. They were all prewar tinplate. Still have everything to this day.

We drove out to Calif in 2010. where we flew out of John Wayne airport to Hawaii and took the cruise around the Islands. When we got back we visited with many friends that we hadn't seen in years. drove through the old neighborhoods and by the high schools we went to. The houses we lived in now have bars on the windows and doors with security fences. The high schools look like minimum security prisons. And all the businesses on Hawthorne blvd have closed.

What happened to the great place that i used to live in. None of our friends that we went to school with they don't live around there any longer. I remember my 10 year reunion was quite somber. They had a memorial list of all the guys I went to school with that had been killed in Vietnam.

Johnson war where we lost over 50 thousand young men, because why. They never attacked us....

[v8vega]

20 years ago in southern Calif.TTOS had big monthly meets in a large hall, now it's real small, I don't know why.
Yesterday I saw illegitimate Biden on TV at one of the memorials. It was obvious he didn't have the slightest idea what was going on.

[HONDO74]

It's going to be interesting Neil.

The White House has also called for Congress to codify Roe v. Wade, although President Biden — a Catholic who has said he personally opposes abortion while supporting the right to choose — spent most of his long political career advertising himself as a moderate on the issue.

Will Biden now become a Pro Abortionist.
