Complicated woman.
We’re evidently very selective about whom we want to afford due process in this country.

Undocumented migrants and even dangerous aliens, yes.

Elected officials in the way of others’ ambitions, no.

Mere allegation of anything labeled sexual misconduct suspends due process rights of the accused.

And Carter’s loss had more to do with his failure to end the Iran hostage crisis after 400+ days than asking us to turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater.

You conveniently ignore the gender gap in voting all that time.

You also forget Baby Boomers restarted the environmental movement and cleaned up eight generations’ toxic waste from the Industrial Revolution.

This is the world Baby Boomers inherited:

I voted for Jimmy Carter. Most women did in 1980.

It was the guys who broke for Reagan, and I refuse to carry their blame.

The 1980 election marked the beginning of a consistent pattern where women favored Democrats more than men, as noted by the Brookings Institution and Pew Research Center.

I rarely spend this much time arguing about our elections, much less internal party politics, with foreigners ineligible to vote.

Since you don’t appreciate my view at ground level, I’m happy to end the discussion.

P.S. I voted for Kamala, despite serious reservations about some of her policies.

“Bankrupted the country”?

The tykes were so eager to force Baby Boomers out of the work force, but when the pandemic gave them their wish and all those taxpayers retired, now who’s left to pay for their Socialist utopia?

Everyone wants freebies; no one wants to pay taxes.

Not even Bernie.

Is that the Imperial “We”?

Or have you taken a poll?
December 7, 2025 at 5:54 AM
I repeat: Newsom’s presidential candidacy is dead on arrival.

And why are you so invested in this disgraceful loser that you’ll go so far as to call me a liar?

Are you even eligible to vote in our elections?
December 7, 2025 at 5:46 AM
His presidential candidacy is dead on arrival.
December 7, 2025 at 5:43 AM
I can guarantee Newsom will NOT be the standard bearer of the Democratic Party.

Too many mainstream Democrats despise him.

Add them to the Leftists who will tear down any candidate who is not one of theirs.

Finally, his total lack of leadership during the LA wildfires and the LA riots.
December 7, 2025 at 5:43 AM
That’s just one instance of Noisome Newsom’s abysmal lack of integrity.

He also flip-flopped on high-speed rail funding.

Lied about the extent of wildfire prevention measures undertaken.

Notoriously attended a lavish dinner and a luxury NFL suite party while Californians were in COVID lockdown.

This article was written last March.

Just two months later, Newsom betrayed his stated opposition to males in female sports to support a high school male, A. B. Hernandez, who competed with and defeated girls in the high jump and long jump, two events where males have an obvious advantage.
December 7, 2025 at 5:43 AM
I completely agree that males competing with females in women’s sports is grossly unfair.

Identities don’t compete; physiques do.

It’s also dangerous and a violation of Title IX of America’s Civil Rights Act.

So I was disgusted when he reversed himself on that position to pander to his base.
December 7, 2025 at 5:17 AM
He explicitly said to Charlie Kirk that allowing males to compete in women’s sports was “horribly unfair” on the air.

Then he reversed himself and sided with A. B. Hernandez, a boy who “identifies as a girl,” not only competing in girls’ sports but stealing their titles.
December 6, 2025 at 9:00 PM
I agree, but Leftists have always done this and always will.

It’s their modus operandi.

(Bernie Sanders has been undermining Democrats for over 40 years.)

Furthermore, Hallie Berry is a Liberal Democrat not a Leftist, just a mainstream women’s health activist.
December 6, 2025 at 8:55 PM
Relax. Newsom never had any chance at a shot to be the Democratic nominee.

He has demonstrated again and again that he has no integrity, and too many Democratic voters utterly despise him.
December 6, 2025 at 9:00 AM
The Gaza Grift is over.
December 5, 2025 at 6:02 PM
If I understand correctly, Hallie Berry was advocating for state legislation having to do with health care for menopausal women.

He vetoed the bill as “too broad.”

An internal squabble about state law, perfectly proper.

Not a gratuitous slam by the “resistance” against a moderate.

Beautifully written and reasoned, but you lost me at the comparison to Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address.

Lincoln was addressing his own countrymen during a war of brother against brother, which is entirely different.

Trump and his supporters see a nation under attack from without not within.

Netflix fucked up Netflix.

I can never forgive them for that.
December 5, 2025 at 1:14 PM
Good point.
December 5, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Remember when Netflix was great?

I miss those days.
December 5, 2025 at 12:45 PM
I don’t know what the latest kerfuffle is, but Gavin Newsom has no chance of being a viable candidate for president — ever.

He’s an odious, unprincipled man already disliked and distrusted by many Democrats.

I don’t know why some keep pushing for him.
December 5, 2025 at 12:44 PM
What could go wrong?
December 5, 2025 at 12:39 PM
Show me. Don’t tell me. I don’t believe anyone anymore.
