I'm excited for his next scandal, like extorting a street food vendor or kicking a puppy or something. I don't know how he can be such a generically bad politician lol.

Remember how he beat Feinstein in the primary and then just decided not to campaign? Yeah I wonder if he regrets that now because he's pretty much burned down his future :laugh:

Why even show up as santa in a room full of children if there is a 100% chance of protesters showing up, calling you racist?

It's not a 20% chance or 50% chance. He drat well knew that protesters would show up and are hardly going to care about who the audience is.

let's see the full maga. Crying about "fake news" and radical socialists and the downfall of society because of critical race theory

then he'll talk about how he had so many more supporters than protesters at the city hall meeting and then, if he loses, he'll have people march to city hall before the end of his term because of ballots from "bad neighborhoods"

of course, this isn't going to happen ... right?

I think it's pretty obvious now that he accepted a bribe in some backroom dealings to tank his own campaign.

Worked out well for him, didn't it? Could've been a senator, probably even a potential VP pick. Now he's a disgraced city councilman.

True. However, this spike seems to be almost completely among the unvaccinated. At least, the cases that were bad enough to warrant talking to a doctor and getting reported. IMHO, we should have enough data by the end of this week to make a stonger statement about that, but, so far, the case rates have only gone up by a factor or 2 or 3 for the vaccinated, but up by a factor of 10 for the unvaccinated. Previously, the two metrics followed each other pretty closely.

Yep, we've been Covid free since the summer, and the flu (and Croup for my toddlers) just wrecked our house for like a month straight with serial infections. We've all got our Covid shots, but no one has flu shots. Lesson learned I guess.

Makes sense since, uh, we actually had to spend on poo poo this year.

And it's not like any of the corona money was going to get replenished.

My district went from "Every kid gets a free. Chromebook with LTE if they ask" to "uh... Maybe more are coming eventually?"

We knew that the positions being paid for were temporary and likely stuffed at the end of the school year. That push for counselors and mental health support and poo poo. Lol. Gone.

Yeah :smith: during covid lockdown I looked into becoming a school counselor, and god drat, the mental health arm of schools might be even more hosed up than the teaching arm and that’s really saying something. Ugh

He's Kevin "Ghost Gun" De Leon; anyone who follows firearm laws in California remembers him making an rear end out of himself in this video (probably chud channel). I'd like to see him try to appeal to chuds and then get eaten alive by them too. :v:

So uh, weren't the gavinbux just supposed to drop into your bank account as long as you get your tax returns via direct deposit? I've gotten tax returns DD'd every year since I've been paying taxes in California, and they just sent me this piece of poo poo bank card in the mail with a laundry list of fees attached and a notice that now the issuing bank gets to sell all my personal info. :mad:

There's a website that shows ATM's near you that can be used without paying their scammy withdrawal fees so I'm just gonna cash the whole thing out ASAP I guess. Certainly not worth using like a normal card given the extensive list of tacked on fees you can rack up if you try.

I just transferred all the money to my actual bank account from the bank that issued the card. $0 left, they can't hit me with fees at that point.
