American Politics

He endorsed LOL (not that it ever had any value to anyone) a cocaine using race hustler from "the hood" in Chicago, over a decorated Vietnam vet and POW.

I hope he has fun rotting in hell, good riddance Rumsfeld Powell, now 43, Cheney and see Rice are way way overdo for their final exits.

Actually, McCain tried desperately to get Powell's endorsement and lifelong Repub Powell was supposedly on the fence about it until McCain proved how cravenly power hungry he was to "win" at the grave expense of America when he chose numbskull Trump precursor numbskull Sarah Palin as his "one heartbeat away" from taking over from the elderly cancer patient at the top of the ticket.

As a lifelong Repub he knew very well and immediately recognized in her the America-hating "Frankenstein Monster" his Party had spent decades creating and nurturing.

Clearly, YOU felt badly burned by the endorsement and are still in pain over it, so it must have had tremendous value to YOU too. LOL.

But it was too late for Powell to stop the "Monster." Yeah, he endorsed Dems ever since, perhaps hoping to keep himself from rotting in the hell you mentioned for the horrific damage he did to America previously as a Genuine Republican appointed to an office of significant power.

Yeah, it's not like crane operators do anything worthwhile. California needs to give that money to Mexican / Guatemalan / Haitian /(insert shithole) illegals and government makework diversity hire employees.

Once again, like a good little fascist, you miss the issue entirely.

The California fascist posted a typically BS lie about the cause of the port backlog in CA. The truth, which can be found in industry publications, explains the problem. Nowhere in those publications is the QOP BS mentioned.

The crane operator problem was mentioned in those pubs, by the way.

But, fascists prefer simple-minded answers. Thus, your answer.

Fascists would prefer to not get vaccinated so they can get fired and collect the unemployment they (and you) complain about. Or take one of those minimum-wage jobs they (and you) think everybody ought to be glad to have. Typical QOP short bus logic.

How the hell is Cheney still alive? Must be some combination of virgin blood, adrenochrome, and a pact with Lucifer.

He tried to make up for stupidly going along with GW Bush's scam to become a "wartime president" as a means to improve his chances of winning a 2nd term so he could produce even worse results than he produced during his first term by endorsing Barack Obama for POTUS.

That was the right thing to do, of course, and it certainly turned out great for America. But this bit where Repubs suddenly see the light and try to make amends too little too late AFTER they are out of office for producing their typical Repub crap results DURING their time in office is bullshit.

Now karma strikes as Trump's classic Repub incompetence, corruption, cowardice and lies, all of GW Bush's usual Repub attributes but on steroids and this time in perfect sync with Xi, killed him. Yes, RIP.

"If we don't solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020 (which we have thoroughly and conclusively documented), Republicans will not be voting in '22 or '24. It is the single most important thing for Republicans to do. " - Donald J. Trump (Shit) on Wednesday, October 13th. . . .

But you left out the best part, where after he finishes pitching himself as the "saviour" of the GOP/QOP and the NRCC fundraising arm, for the Republicans, sent out threatening text messages to "prospective donors" (aka. the gullible base) and were told the following:

You're a traitor...

You abandoned Trump. We were told you were a tried & true, lifelong patriot. But when Trump said he'd run for President if took back the House from Nancy Pelosi ... you did nothing. Was Trump wrong about you.

This is your final chance to prove your loyalty or be branded a deserter. Were giving you one final chance to stand with Trump. You only have 17 min >>>.

Agent Orange, brandishes and scolds his base as "traitors", for not donating money...kkkk (You just can't make shit this up!) This has got to be one of the the best grifts of all time, in American History?

So GOP/QOP members don't forget to bow down to your orange "saviour" and more importantly DONATE NOW...or be labeled a traitor.

Correct! Crane operators make up to $250,000 a year and work 5-6 hours a day (they really like their lunches). This is a simple matter of a powerful, greedy, corrupt union flexing its muscles during the national emergency. It's time something was done about it.

Another low IQ dead dem from the Chinese virus.

The real story in all of this is yet another fake news scam lie by omission.

The headlines scream "Dead of Covid!" yet the guy was 84 and suffering from advanced myeloma (cancer) so was sadly on the way out anyway.

But more importantly, given the fake news's emphasis on covid, none of them mentioned that he was double-vaxed. Classic omission of relevant facts to support The Narrative.

When you die of an illness you have been vaccinated against, what does that say about the "vaccine"? I don't hear of many measles or smallpox deaths these days.

There seems to be fairly good, objective statistical evidence that the slowdown has been engineered by the ILWU as a political / economic play. There is a closely watched statistic (called something like "berth productivity') which is a measure of the cost of moving one container TEU from a ship out of the port. Port of Long Beach does not rate highly compared to other ports (e.g. , Qingdao, Yokohama, Singapore). Most evidence points to the crane workers who want to limit the number of new cranes that can be installed, as well as the number of cranes that can work at any time. There is also consideralble anecdotal evidence that they are deliberately gumming up the process (loading trucks out of order, slow loading, etc), which I guess is mostly to make more money or maintain power. The ILWU crane operators are already the most highly paid in the world and the port management lives in fear of them. In short, I think it's not the trucks, rather the cranes.

Fuck.

Read the memo.

Your major was undoubtedly something like gender studies via interpretative critical race dance theory, if you even went to college (or got your GED) so let me explain.

There is no way to store the huge amounts of electricity required to power a first world country. It's not like food. You can't have 12 hours of great supply and store the excess. Therefore the energy supply needs to be stable and steady 24/7, or have what is called inertia.

The problem with this green hippy enviro-wacko shit is that it is not stable. Sometimes the wind blows, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the sun shines, sometimes it doesn't. These huge fluctuations can fuck up the entire system and cause it to entirely shut down, which is exactly what happened in Great Britain in August 2019 when half the country went into blackout.

To avoid that, there needs to be a stable power supply (fossil fuel or nuclear) running at all times, in case the hippy shit collapses. So all those solar panels and windmills (all of which cost huge amounts of wealth, energy and pollution to produce, and do not last very long) are basically just for show, as there always needs to be serious power generation behind them.

Thanks for confirming that California has been run by socialists. I guess that is why the democrats in California are upset with the current government. My property taxes are $12,000. Much more expensive than most of the other states adjoining California. There is nothing cheap about living in California.

Of course. California has to keep extorting ever more from productive Americans to pay for the illegal welfare freeloading democrat voters it lets in by the hundred thousand, and also the unfunded liabilities of the mostly useless makework government employee democrat voters.

Join the exodus to Texas and Florida before it's too late.

That your property tax is higher isn't the point. The point is that you don't have the cojones to write the state a check for what your property tax should have been had the Democrats not pushed for Prop 13. Why not?

...Ships are piling up at Long Beach waiting to get unloaded. The port is jammed full of containers ...Long term, truckers in California are not investing in new trucks because California has a law ...

That's just great. Aaaaand what do we do at night or when it's cloudy?

Fuck.
