Not to mention, 2 years ago, California had nearly a $100 billion budget surplus.

See, California is basically run and held hostage by venture capitalist tech fetishists, with its budget absolutely depending on revenue from it's tech sector. When they boom, California booms. When they bust, California busts. It's capitalism on steroids.

Not spending your money on things you need just because you want to "save it for a rainy day" is also bad.

If California has a "rainy day" bad enough that it can't borrow money to get out of it then the world economy is pretty much fucked.
It's not even just that. If they don't invest enough beyond doing the necessities, their place as one of the best places to start a major tech company will evaporate like my Shiba Inu coin's value. (By the way don't invest in crypto, instead invest in S&P500 VOO, VTI, or SPY ETFs).

Just because its climate is mild doesn't mean tech will stay there forever.

When did I say don't spend money on things that are needed?

You're the one that doesn't believe California's ranking in fiscal stability because they have a big economy.

So apparently Trump has been using his friend Jeffrey Epstein's private jet to fly to campaign events.


I'm sure it felt very comfortable and familiar for him.

Donald Trump continues to be Kamala Harris' best campaigner:

"She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 million Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care. It’s the best health care in the world. You’re all going to be thrown into a communist system … You’re going to be thrown into a system where everybody gets health care.”

It's now missing that little something tho. Or rather, little someone.

I mean he's not wrong. The US has some of the best health care in the world if you can afford it. The problem is that most can't.

health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times
You either have to have rationing and extended wait times or you have to massively increase supply if you massively increase the number of people meant to receive things. I'd be curious what the plan to massively increase the supply of doctors is - it's a lot easier to crank up drug production or imaging equipment production than it is to crank up doctor production, after all.

I'm sure he got it pretty cheap at auction too for what it is. He has to worry about his budget now, what with all the damages he owes and potential fines to come.

How sad.....NOT!

Of course, the Trump dick suckers want a hand by count vote to make sure "The election wasn't stolen from this time". Thankfully, it's rightfully rejected.

To the surprise of no one.

Big thanks for the videos though.
While the headline that Trump is directly connected to Project 2025 is known, one of the things that came out of this, if you watch the MSNBC report is that theres the document posted online, which we've discussed, but the guy they caught on tape, two of them actually confirmed theres a shadow document thats being kept tightly under wraps with much more creepy "handmaids tale" type stuff they don't want public until Trump is in office. The guy talks about it in the video but is pretty cagey.


Essentially, everything would be verbal communication only for now.

Can we trust any current polls?

I'm finding some that report Harris is up, others that Trump is up.

Styx on this:

The MSNBC video was the first one I watched, so I know all the details now.

Anyone still pulling that both sides are bad nonsense. Need to stop and get pimp slapped in the face. My barber and his son (who is a barber too) tried to pull that crap, with the son saying he's not going to be going at all period. No green party nor independent voting either. Lo and behold, they listen to some conspiracy theorist (Claiming to be on the left/left neutral) on YouTube claiming that Trump is unaware of P2025, but tries to makes Harris and the Democrats that guilty party or the most guilty party by comparison.

The father is at least voting for Democrat even though he doesn't like Harris. I did tell the son that if you're not gonna vote, at least vote independent or green party. Because I even told him "Do you want this to happen again? Where nobody voted and he stepped into the office and fucked the whole country and world up? You want to make that same mistake again others did in the past?". He couldn't even give me an answer nor response. Just silence.

Edit: It upsets me because both are black. I know race doesn't solely determine your party or anything, but it's still saddining. More so on the son. He Is going on about some made up bullshit on how Harris will divide blacks further between women and men. WTF Is he basing this off of? I'll tell you: absolutely nothing.

You are a brave man for discussing politics with someone holding something sharp in the vicinity of your carotid arteries.

He never lets politics or personal politics get in the way of business. We've known each other long enough. Though we still learn something new about each other. Each time I meet up for an appointment.

In case anyone was worried that Trump had somehow learned to keep from disparaging people who served in the military, fear not!


“Miriam, I watched (Sheldon Adelson, her late husband) sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian, it’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version. It’s actually much better, because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor – that’s soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump said.

“She gets it and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal."
Trump is incapable of understanding why people put themselves in harm's way for their country.

Can we stop with the stop Project 2025 conspiracy bullshit? Funny how last time Trump was president conservatives were disappointed he didn't implement a bunch of policies from the same document last time. But this time is somehow massively different!?!? Was Trump just playing a long con of doing nothing radical as president just so he can run again and be like "see, I didn't do anything radical" and con everyone into electing him a 2nd time only for him actually pull some shit? Why didn't he just do that shit the 1st time then? You're all falling for the same conspiracies as you mock the other side for falling for...
