Where is my torch? My pitchfork?? The homeless are under my freeway bridge (no home in this neighborhood is under a mil) stacked tent to tent, no social distancing, at least 100% more than before covid. And the govt has put port a potties under there for them and a porta sink. Some were sitting together on a blanket, no mandatory masks on,

BUT THE SPENDING THAT NEWSOM FINDS SUPERFLUOUS ARE THE COPS AND FIREFIGHTERS.

The oath of office is to defend the constitution. I don’t think he ever read it.

Does he remember a certain Governor who was recalled? A certain state Supreme Court Justice recalled?

The very first law enforcement and fire personnel to be laid off should be those protecting politicians from the goobernator newsom and aunt pelosi on down!

Why is it that these cockroaches always demand that the people they have sworn to serve are always supposed to suffer while they continue to live high and have armed protection? Oh that's right, because they are the socialist elite at the top and we are just the proletariat who exist only to serve them.

Perhaps the French did actually have one good use for the Guillotine.

I had to look up fetted to see if it was good or bad. Not a word that comes around often.

Police and fire unions could reply: we will immediately and preemptively cease any protection to any predominantly Democrat community.

See how they react to that.

Cut the salary of every state employee by 10%.

Take the Communist approach. Declare that no state employee's salary will exceed $X, where "$X" is what it would take to balance the budget. Have all those high paid administrators suddenly see their monthly pay has been cut to $1000.

And in a seemlingly unrelated story:

Only about half of the 15,000 hotel and motel rooms that California has leased for mostly homeless people to slow the spread of the coronavirus are now occupied, a review of state records by The Times shows.

More than a month into Gov. Gavin Newsom’s program to get homeless people off the streets, the occupied rooms account for — at most — less than 5% of the 151,000 people who sleep on street corners, under bridges and in emergency shelters across California.

As of Monday, 7,919 hotel rooms had guests and another 7,700 were vacant, according to figures released by Newsom’s office.

California leased 15,000 hotel rooms to help homeless people. Half now sit empty

Note to all California fire fighters & policemen & sheriff’s deputies:

YOU CAN MOVE OUT OF THAT STINK HOLE.

MO ONE can force you to stay. Other places all across the USA need firefighters & policemen & deputies.

You will be appreciated elsewhere.

You might not get as much pay, but you can actually have a house for a lower cost, and in most places, a lower cost of living than anywhere in California.

In California, I would be paying over $3500 property taxes (for the house i left) IF I were still there.

My property taxes where I am on 5.58 acres are UNDER $750 annually. Power bills UNDER $100 a month. Last bill was $55.60. Last gasoline I bought was $1.92 a gallon. Clean air. Quiet area. Lower crime.

It really isn’t how much money an hour you make——it really is HOW MUCH do you YOU get to spend on yourself. How safe are you there? Are you paying everything back out for housing-—taxes-—high priced gasoline-—commuting—registrations on vehicles-—???

Will give out more info to anyone who PM’s me.

Reaching back to history,the dems tried this when prop 13 passed.

They tried that before and after we voted for prop 13.

They changed the play book this time and emptied the prisons before laying off the police.

It’s all good.

Everyone I care about in California is still armed. Let it rip!

Everyone I cared about in California has left the state. ☺

“Bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see how it works out for him”

I am going to go out on a limb here and predict it will turn out OK for him. At least it will define exactly where we the taxpayers stand.
