"California's reparations" Jump off the cliff if you want; just don't ask me to hold your hand. "rent control rent freezes " No one who's stepped into an economics classroom favors this. "inflation relief checks" Better yet, just vote against inflationary policies. "social justice" Euphemism for what wokes didn't know they cared about until five minutes ago, and another way millionaires can feel morally superior to the working class.

I thought her performance was OK, not memorable. Short readthrough of her best-known numbers. All the crazy wokes are calling her a sellout--evidently she promised to boycott football in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick in 2019. Now that supporting Kap is no longer The Current Thing, money talks.

No, I'm claiming Americans are too smart to: 1. Believe reparations would end race as a controversial issue, since so many racial agitators are invested in strife 2. Believe one time cash payments would make a lasting difference in people's lives, just look at lottery winners 3. Be guilted into forking over additional money for that which affirmative action and a whole racial preference system for the last 60 years was meant to provide "reparations." 4. Believe that the federal government--which is struggling to pay its current commitments--can afford California's racial guilt trip writ large. Reparations, on the whole, poll at 30% Yes to 68% No. It polls -1 among _Democrats_. Here's two black men saying it better than I could. https://glennloury.substack.com/p/when-the-racial-justice-narrative Heck, BLM admitted they were about guilting rich white progressives into paying racial penance. Suckas. Good luck taking that platform nationwide. DeSantis, Trump, Youngkin, Haley, or whomever the nominee is, is going to play that in every state, and it'll filter all the way down the ticket. It'll be glorious. For us, that is.

So you're admitting Newsom can't curtail the "real estate industry," gotcha. Any Democrat with a pulse can win California. Just imagine how well reparations, among other California policies, will go over in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin. America doesn't want to be California.

Newsom's budget surpluses came from tech stock windfalls, which are now gone. There's a huge difference between winning a state where Dens outnumber Reps 2:1, and winning actual swing states. People are voting themselves out of California in the most true and telling way, with their feet.

^ Can't charge electrics at night, not during the day. Don't forget that they want the power grid to be 100% unreliable wind and solar.

"Newsom qnd his programs are very popular in California." Because we all know the other 49 states want to become California. That might be why people are fleeing California so fast you can hear the whoosh. Ban gas cars + can't charge electrics during the day Confiscatory tax policies Crime and homeless problems Lack of affordable housing Yep, America wants us some of that! Lulz.

Good grief, are we really back to challenging each other to offline brawls that are never going to happen? Didn't we get this all out of our systems a few weeks ago?

^ It's funny how the left fulminates about "corporate welfare" and big corporations "not paying their fair share," then gives billions in tax breaks to "go green."

I had a civvie date who wouldn't stop talking about how the "world's indigenous" (whom she could never define) were going to save the planet. She loved James Cameron's "Avatar" and actually thought it was an accurate depiction of native cultures. Yes, a 28 year old woman believed that. Good lord that was one painful hour. All the vodka in Russia couldn't numb that away. @drew, I lean right, yet I cringed at a dating profile whose every picture had an article of Trump or MAGA clothing, and all her prompts referenced a love for Trump. Wish I'd have saved pictures. I'd want only head from AOC. Any minute with my dick in her mouth is a minute she can't spew nonsense.

Icee, this is up there with losing your girl to a low-level weed dealer on things this board will never let you live down. Lulz.

^ They'd be wrong

^ And the left's take requires one to ignore damn near all the facts.

^ Odd that you use Trump as a mark of credibility especially when he mocks her elsewhere. Her statements were completely incongruent with one another and her life, as well as her friends. No evidence they ever met Every witness disputed her claims She can't recall any details of that night but somehow remembered only that which was damaging Not an ounce of external corroboration Lied about its impact on her life Her lawyer admitted they wanted an asterisk after Kavanaugh's name There are some incidents that could reasonably be interpreted either way. This is not one of them.

"While it's happened on the left too, nothing can match the alternate universe of distortion, spin and crazy since the GOP took its hard right turn" Says the side who couldn't tell you what gender has a penis. Or believed Christine Blasey Ford.

@shailynn, I've noticed after enough ITC (I've never done OTC), even the best experiences I've had there (FKKs) get routine. Once it starts feeling edgy and subversive again, I'll start doing it again.

Isn't some one's tagline here "adventures of assjobman"? Ask him.

^ You should have seen the left with Bush 43 and again with Trump. Literally Hitler!

I've done it, out of the money calls, sold covered calls on things that I own to make a few extra bucks. Win some lose some. I'm much more about long term investments and personal ventures now. I don't want to have to stare at the ticker screen all day.

^ He has an itty-bitty teeny tiny little pee pee

"There are PLENTY of “beta” and “nice guys” who present their abusive side early on." Most guys I've known who call themselves "nice guys," are using the illusion of niceness as a strategy to drop panties. They're more like this, with the 10th stamp = sex. https://preview.redd.it/q32mi04y89241.jpg?auto=webp&s=75f024d15dc7b7d7852927dab527ab03c5d5dedd That said I don't think Peterson is talking about strippers.

@Mate, I read his 12 rules. He rambles more than your grandmother talking about your grandfather's poops. It was legit painful. He has no business trying to "assist" others in writing.

#bait

Is JP talking about what civvies want or what strippers want? I find his stuff directionally accurate on society but he's a horrendous writer.

@misterorange, Biden has talked about banning 9mm weapons before. This is all culture war shit, not public safety. They say to rely on the cops, but then their left fringe wants to defund those too. In the end, do what they say, and you wind up at their mercy.
