Perhaps to demonstrate the seriousness of their actions, the bill’s sponsors should map out all the areas in CA where all these awful miniature toiletries are fouling up the environment. It’s bound to be much more voluminous than the human poop map, because it seems higher on the priority to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually put it on my calendar in 10 years to go up there and see if there have been any improvements. This is something EVERY taxpayer should do. No not put that on their calendar but holding the government accountable for things like this and demanding that accountability when it doesn't happen. Like how the lottery was supposed to "fix" our schools. How many billions and billions of dollars have been raised by the lottery and our schools are shittier than ever. Awesome!!!

B-Man Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 California Moves To Keep Trump Off 2020 Primary Ballot Via Washington Times: SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Legislature is trying again to force presidential candidates to publicly disclose their tax returns, hoping a new Democratic governor known for his clashes with President Donald Trump won’t block them this time. The state Senate voted 27-10 on Thursday to require anyone appearing on the state’s presidential primary ballot to publicly release five years’ worth of income tax returns. The proposal is in response to Trump, who bucked 40 years of tradition by refusing to release his tax returns prior to his election in 2016. California’s presidential primary is scheduled for March 3. If the bill becomes law, Trump could not appear on the state’s primary ballot without filing his tax returns with the California secretary of state. “We believe that President Trump, if he truly doesn’t have anything to hide, should step up and release his tax returns,” said Sen. Mike McGuire, a Democrat from Healdsburg and the co-author of the bill along with Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat.

If you eliminate the electoral college and go to popular vote, you can have a scenario where the R wins 48 states by 54% margin, but D wins NY, CA and DC by 75% margin (highly likely), the D wins the election.

That said, you really don't see that crap (literally and figuratively) in most of the city. The Mission has always been sketchy, but even there it seems to be different than what they permit in the downtown sewer. And of course, there are no cops here. Still amazes me when compared to NYC where you see them everywhere, all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
