Newsome is going to start opening up California

Doesn't seem to be happening.

Might just be a stalling tactic.

The police in Santa Cruz have acquired cute little four wheeler beach buggies for ticketing and chasing recalcitrant rubes off the beach, while the homeless continue to rage and wreak havoc in downtown.

Glad they have their priorities straight.

Well, there's no point in keeping the homeless off the streets because that wouldn't harm the economy at all.

It’s happening, you just live in the wrong place. You think anyone in OC is going to report or enforce anything? Or Riverside County where the Sheriff outright said he won’t...at a county board of Supervisors meeting no less.

whatever is necessary to combat a novel, deadly, communicable disease

Hmmm, "whatever is necessary" in the opinion of a political appointee.

What could possibly go wrong?

mell says

I work all day from home to support all the deadbeats and those without fault becoming unemployed from the leftoid tyranny on the dole with my tax money

Don't forget the illegal aliens in California. Our tax dollars are being given to them too.

My leftoid friends forcefully change the topic to wine (after TDSing all day on the group chat) when I explain to them why the money should go to them not illegals. Leftoids are more brainwashed than any hardcore right-winger, religious zealot or even white supremacist ever could be - I have seen (and met) many cases of those coming back into the mainstream after a long period of extreme views. Whereas recovered leftoids are few and far between. Leftism/regressivism is on par with the brainwashing of a serious religious cult.

It's not surprising to me the Dems want to reopen the economy on a limited basis. Their policies are hurting liberals as well as conservatives, but keep in mind, Newsom doesn't plan to return things to normal until there is a vaccine.

How many Red States have balanced budgets & receive no Federal tax dollars?

Florida requires balanced budget in state constitution.

Which could be never.

This thread is funny. Because right wanted the opening, now left has no idea how to emotionally handle it. So they pretend to themselves it’s upsetting right.

Lol at people living in delusional world they imagine. Very modern liberal thing.

The only reason leftists like Obummer so much is because he was black and they are virtue signalling. See how open minded and accepting of all races I am: I support a black president.

This also proves how mind programmed people are, especially on the left. The press did a good job of hiding his failures and making that piece of shit look good. Don't forget he was the first president to murder an American citizen and his family without a trial or due process. The man sold out to the corporations and did nothing for the American people that will be remembered.

Tim Aurora says

Trump gave a 20% back to the Companies and Obama sold out to corporations. Brilliant right leaning logic and gaslighting.

Obama gave trillions to banks, while putting forward a bullshit mortgage re-negotiation scheme that was entirely voluntary --- for banks.

Eric Holder studiously ignored a ton of potential lawsuits, and what few he settled for a fraction of the money the banks made on their robosigning and other shennanigans.

And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor, if one of the available plans (if the website is working) has hi, on, and you spend $2500/month for a 70/30 plan with a $5000 yearly deductible before it pays jack shit for a family of 4. Just what the median household income of $50k can afford.

Every DC "Regulator" and Bureaucrat wishes for the Clinton-Bush-Obama era to return, so they can become influential bigshots like Eric Holder and his new place of employment.

Misc says

Nope, it wasn't the States. Even left leaning California voted that marriage was between one man and one woman by popular vote.

It was decided by SCOTUS

That's right. Activist Judges suborning Democracy.

Remember, legislating morality is wrong, except when it determines that bathrooms should be open to whichever gender a mentally ill person believes themselves to be that day, or fines people for misgendering a trannie.

It's also why some form of originalism is desirable, otherwise, if Social Activists can get the common meaning of a word like "Gender" changed from "Sex" to "My personal ideas on a certain day", then they can subvert a whole shitload of laws without one legislative act.

What did Gender mean in 1975? It was another term for sex. Gender and Sex didn't start to develop separate meaning in Academia until the late 80s, and much later in society. It should be what the law writers would have understood it in the 60s and 70s, not 2010s.

Here is the 1828 Dictionary Definition of Gender, unchanged in almost all areas of Society except Postmodernist infested social disciplines until about 2000.

For the record, President Obama was easily the worst President of my lifetime. Considering Jimmy Carter was a distant second, that’s saying a lot.

But then holding back an economy ready to rage for several years is pretty damn despicable.

Thanks, that was interesting. It's good to know that millions of old books still exist and be consulted even though our owners would like to erase them so that they can rewrite the past.

There’s never been an effective vaccine for a corona virus.
Ever.

Fuck this shit I may pull a WookieMan, rent an RV and drive to Utah.

If gas stations are open I'd go for it. We just needed to do something different. We only stopped once for fuel and piss stop each way. I'm not really sure how that in anyway would be unsafe. Essential workers are stopping at gas stations daily. We also researched the houses pretty well. This one hadn't been rented for the last month. So pretty much zero concern about surface contamination.

There were still some of the same frustrations of just constantly being together for my family. 9-1/2 hours in the car wasn't all that pleasant either, but it was fine. We also did go with 3 other families and everyone was 40 and under with no feeling of sickness. Had some fun, rented a boat and good laughs every night. Smoked weed one night, which I only do 4-5 times a year, and we were all in tears laughing so hard. Was weird because I forgot TN wasn't legal... lol.

It was hastily put together, and probably wasn't the way we wanted it, but it was nice to get to a state that isn't violating your rights as aggressively as IL and I'm sure CA. Eye opening really. Love my rural area out here in IL though, everyone is giving the middle finger to the mask wearing requirement inside most buildings. I do finally have one though for the times I have to go to the bigger suburbs.... ehh.

I'd fuck her.

The Bay Area counties are still under house arrest, nothing’s open except essential business.

No one I know is sick, no one my friends know is sick, in my area it’s never been a pandemic despite the panic.

My general loser friends don’t mind trading the inconvenience for the $1200 free money.

I’m mean to call them losers, but they deliberately don’t save, don’t invest, don’t worry, don’t care and are happy to get by.

Of well, I ramble off the subject as usual.

Shaman says

Or the flu - the efficacy of the vaccine vs. the cost and bother is hotly debated.

NoCoupForYou says

Or the flu - the efficacy of the vaccine vs. the cost and bother is hotly debated.

Even the flu vaccine claims 30% effectiveness but does not work on mutations. The flu is constantly mutating. What vaccines do do is build herd immunity.

BUT, like shaman says there has never been a vaccine created for a RNA virus like covid-19 or the other corona viruses.

Onvacation says

BUT, like shaman says there has never been a vaccine created for a RNA virus like covid-19 or the other corona viruses.

There is still no vaccine for HIV, despite literally decades and literally billions poured into its development.

You're jelly, admit it!

Now Newsome is moving into being racist and misogynist.

Sorry I don’t understand what being “jelly” means.

One of the reasons we need to demand under what Constitutional legal basis you derive authority to issue such orders is to avoid the current arbitrary, capricious and contradictory orders being issued by petty autocrats as is currently happening.

Yes, especially if she says "Destroy my pussy, not the Constitution!"

clambo says

Jealous.

Those constrained by common sense and self denial at times envy the loin cloth idiocracy who live for the momentary opportunistic, self indulgent, irresponsible pleasures and then wonder why in their forebrain starved madness they fucked the pooch in their life stories.

Tenpoundbass says

Pretty wimpy police. How come they didn't drop this thing with eighty or ninety rounds first and then declare PTSD disability?

If she has promiscuous female children like Sarah Palin, she has my write in vote for Precedent!

marcus says

Admit it - you're a little disappointed.

How can you paint the lefties as commie tyrants if they want the economy to function too ? This totally messes with your narrative.

Not at all because at some point in time, the truth is more important than politics and that's that everyone needs to make money, including the so-called communists, the robber baron corporatists who need both cap gains and dividend distributions along with the rest of the general public in the middle.

This only doesn't apply to Bill Gates because MS software is still a monopoly on the desktop and thus, Gates needs nothing until his vaccination mandate goes global.

Obama is a liar and doesn’t even make sense; in the USA the rule of law is defined by the attorney general.

You just know the pictures were taken by the guy who set it up.

Police should have suspected that there was a camera immediately, but it doesn't look like it.

Yeah, that was pretty much his take away from his impeachment.

I like, "Sign your name on my uterus!", but that works too.

Bet they will not purge the voter rolls first.....
