  • "Excellent letter outlining how the political class should respect the voters enough to tell them who they really are when running for office. Kris “the lawless” Beal never stood for much of anything when she ran for her seat! She now has outed herself as a left winger who does not value the Oath she swore. She needs to pay a price for her reckless and support for lawlessness. She should never be reelected. You have an opportunity this November to send her packing."

  • "So if you work in government and steal around $160,000 from the taxpayers, first if you get caught, which is unlikely to start, your consequences will be to just pay back the money you stole, no interest or penalty, likely be able to use money from the bankrupt pension system, less than a year in jail, which can likely be served on weekends and eventually will some type of release program, so maybe at the most 6 months of weekends in jail and 6 months of wearing a ankle monitor. No financial penalty for stealing above what you stole, no prevention from working in government again, no real jail time, so basically no deterrent for you to not steal again and no deterrent to anyone else in government from stealing. Yeah that's government for you. ."

  • "Visited there recently, people seem pretty satisfied on the state of their State. About the only negative thing I heard at the two backyard parties I attended was a worry that so many Californians moving there will change things for the worse. Too bad the state is so flat, hot and humid or I would consider it. Doesn’t hold a match to California’s natural beauty and great weather."

  • "Gong, next? Maybe the Planning Department for internet abuse by having public meetings that the public has no reasonable access to, never mind squelching the live radio live coverage of our Board meetings too years ago. Sure, you all know about the LAMP document, a plan between the County Environmental Health Department and the Local State Water Quality Control Board which has added another $75,000 to the cost of building a house in Santa Margarita? In some cases, this overreach exceeds what is required by the State of California. Adult predators, no jail and out without bail, more sicko results that stem from the internet, the medium for all predators, thieves and pervs."

  • "There is plenty of evidence against Trump. MAGA just choose not to acknowledge the fact that he is a convicted felon who is also convicted of sexual assault. That’s your president. Today’s release of information only shows trumps accusations of raping kids. Why do you think it’s been covered up by this administration? My guess Israel and the Saudis have the tapes and proof. And when the proof comes out, how will maga twist themselves to accept it? Trump knows they don’t like chomos in prison."

  • "That's the same thing they say in Texas. Only the GOP can fix the problems the state has. The only problem is that the GOP has controlled the governor, attorney general, and both state houses for 30 years. If it's broke, the GOP broke it. But, hey, all you need is a short and stupid slogan to convince uneducated rubes to continue voting against their own interests."

  • "Right? Don't you hate when someone accused of wrongdoing gets a chance to hear the charges and present a defense and have the matter decided by an independent third party? It takes forever! Give me a good old-fashioned fascist police-state where armed thugs get to act like judge and jury despite having almost zero legal training."
