First rule of getting news - always believe the enemy and outlets like Russia Today.

A cellphone is not a necessity.

For many good jobs it is.

If it's a "good" job, then the phone will be paid for, doesn't change Booger's point.

If you are choosing between food and a cellphone, your poverty is on you for being a dumbass. Childcare should be provided by father/mother or family. If you choose to live in an expensive city away from family, again, your fault.

Maybe not the exaggeration I thought...

Unlimited, indiscriminate, compassionate immigration will resolve this problem. It is a problem of negative emotions, which must be stamped out of the Great Socialist Paradise.

You can get around Santa Cruz faster overall on a bike than a car on crowded days, if you can keep the homelessfucks from stealing it out from under you.

Is it as bad as it is in CA?

Pretty much on par from what I've seen. Maybe because it's summer.

Vietnamese I knew the SF bay area were some of the most patriotic people I've ever met.

I'd say the same for the ones here in New England. Here's my blurp on the war & why I never accepted the nuevo left's ideology that the ordinary Vietnamese wanted communism especially when the facts showed that the communists, starting in '75, put at least a million southerners into labor/re-education camps after the war, instilled martial law, creating a refugee situation (a.k.a "The Boat People"), only eclipsed by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

" I knew a South Vietnamese officer who was among the lucky ones to get out before the '75 collapse and later settled down in the Boston area.

His experience was that by mid '74, the average soldier had up to 3 magazines per week vs the usual of 7-8 when the US army was still there prior to the closure of "Vietnamization".

In effect, he echoed let's call it the Republican spiel, that the South was reduced to a poor man's war whereas the North was armed to the teeth. And the North did take their time, throughout '74, testing the South incrementally, making sure that they didn't have enough counter firepower before the grand offensive in the spring.

So I'm sure when 'rationing' kicked in, the ones who already had the pre-existing armory, didn't share it and thus, the fact that funds were getting cut from above, did abet the collapse of the South's defenses."

It's an insult to call us third world. We have world class garbage.

Nah, they would rather have Putin's dick up their ass, thankyouverymuch.

If they really wanted to hurt Trump's feelings, they should have threatened to take his pacifier and Teddy away.

Republicans need to disband and form a conservative party so they can offload all their riff raff and kooks.

The worst thing that could happen in this country is we fracture off into a multitude of other parties.
Look at Europe and even Israel for that matter. What good is the people electing someone, which is a feat within its self with multiple parties;
When they have to form a Coalition with people in Parliament or Congress or risk having a snap election before the first year is even up?

I mean can you imagine having 3 to 6 parties and your guy wining with just 20% of the vote? Which is why most countries then have Runoffs. The Establishment loves a fucking Do Over. It gives them a chance to clear up lose ends and neutralize threats they didn't take seriously during the Real Election.



Multiple parties no thank you. I think we should make being registered in a party, actually being a Party Member. A member with full rights to vote in or out the leadership of that party.

The American Idiots haven't figured out shit yet. They think it's about do overs and taking your marbles home. Everyone is a lazy fat fuck and doesn't want to do the hard work to fix the parties we have. What in the hell would you want 6 or 8 parties just like the Democrat and Republican parties at their worst running around?

That just gives Koch and Soros 8 more changes to win and Dominate our government.

Excellent summary of Democratic politics.

Especially funny since the homeless infestations are in Dem areas because of failed Dem policies and corruptions. It's a question of be careful what you pray for.

“That circular firing squad is not going to help save our democracy or help working families.”

Actually, this will help working families, by helping Trump win. Trump is the only one who want to stem the flow of wage depressing illegals and tariff the imports fro slave wage China.

That assumption may not be correct. Evolution is taking place all around us.

"The new study's origins are tied to the 2016 discovery of a bacterium in a Japanese waste dump that had evolved to use PET (polyethylene terephthalate), commonly used in the 1 million soft drink bottles sold every minute around the world, as an energy source. The team of scientists originally began running tests to see how the bacterium, Ideonella sakaiensis, managed to produce an enzyme capable of degrading PET. Those tests, it turned out, inadvertantly made the enzyme, PETase, even better at degrading PET. The resulting mutant PETase now takes just a few days to break down PET, compared to the 450 years it takes for the stuff to degrade naturally."

https://www.popsci.com/bacteria-enzyme-plastic-waste/

It is not a guarantee that those scientists' intelligent design (after studying one particular strain of bacteria in a Japanese waste dump) is better than all evolutionary results from all bacteria both inside and outside Japan.

Apparently, bacteria at the bottom of Gulf of Mexico digested the BP oil spill a few years ago much faster than any scientist predicted.

Or just pay the French to expand their's

They'll just surrender anyway.

Yah but there’s no way that California or New York is ever going to CUT state taxes! They are spending more than they receive already! They just don’t want the disparity in tax burden to be so fucking obvious to residents, such that they move away and stop paying the tax. So they want a federal bail-out.

I’m middle class, and I pay nearly $10,000 just in property tax, let alone the other $15,000 in state tax. Thankfully, the lower tax rate (-3%) and the child tax credits nearly made up the difference at tax time, and I only had to pay another $1300 to federal.

How about reinstalling the union dues and tool expenses write-offs? That would apply only to middle classes, not the wealthy. But you don’t see Democrats giving a fuck about us.

Yeah but we used to kill commies to stop the scourge from spreading. But around Bush Sr. we started putting people worse than Commies in a dictator puppets after we destabilize countries.

Cool. Trump should be at Zero war crimes compared to the other usual suspects - looking good!

Exactly what I was thinking.

Usually I wanna tell HEYYOU to jam it up his ass. But plastic is evil and he is spot on.

Just in time for 4th of July liberals remind us they hate America.

One thing that unites liberals the most is Hatred for America, they want America to lose, for no fucking reason other than some stupid bullshit in their head. I don't think they realize how shitty it is to be a loser nation.

They'd bitch and moan daily if China took over and told them how to live. But hey, don't expect critical thinking out of liberals, they are too busy hating America.

CHOMSKY

'nuf sed!

Trump's position is correct and brilliant; we have been protecting the trade between various other countries with our tax dollars and have been paid zero for this favor.

I don't know the numbers, but we have spent billions of dollars protecting Europe, Japan, Korea and other places for free.

Europe grew their welfare state while Americans paid to protect them. We got nothing in return, not respect of course.

Chomsky can suck it.

It is not a violation of the law. The US pulled out of the anti-American UN Human Rights Council (what a farce of a title). The United States has every right to defend itself.

They were hardly unprecedented. During WWII we firebombed entire cities. Our drone strikes were targeted at enemies of the US. We have the right to defend ourselves.

No you misunderstood, he was saying Chomsky will suck it.
:"Chomp" is in his name.HE comes from a long like of Cock Suckers, his whole family are a bunch of Cock Suckers.
Anyone that reads his Commie crap probably takes it up the Can to.

FWIW, initially I typed in chomp but then had to edit the post. Freudian slip I suppose.

Brain damaged homeless guy rant or Chomsky? Your choice.

NOAMercy for war crimes!!!
