Democrats have always supported Criminals and their actions. The thugs that are being shot by police with rap sheets longer than toilet paper rolls is just one example. Jack Henry, a criminal that Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins rallied to be set free, even named their son after him, got out a committed murder right away. One can bet if criminality is involved Democrats will support it.

Hello Jarod,
I have only visited LA and San Diego. My impression was amazed that anyone would choose to live there. There is no just going to a good restaurant and getting a meal without a wait just to get in. If you want to go to the beach, you had better begin queuing up pre-dawn prior to opening because the parking will be full very early in the morning. I once went 5 miles on the 'expressway' and it took an hour. Guess what my average speed was.
Ordinarily, when freeway traffic gets clogged, I have the urge to get off and try my luck on the surface roads. Not a good idea around there as you can very quickly get into a dangerous neighborhood.
But you'll know it if you start seeing lots of graffiti.
Not my cup of tea. Nope. Northern Cali is probably like a different state. Still, one would have to face the prospect of wildfires and earthquakes. At least you'd stand a chance of having some warning about one of those.
Perhaps if you build somewhere that has recently been burned out it would be safer.

The problem is you experts do not know how elections work. When you first register to vote all your ID is taken then. Then the election commission checks them. If legal, they are entered into a precinct ledger. They send you a voter I fucking D card. Then when you vote, you provide the voters card. Which is ID. After the signature is compared and your name is seen in the book, you are given a ballot. After you vote, you name is marked as "VOTED" Nobody with that name and in that book can log another vote.
When it is by mail voting. The ballots are taken to the precinct, where it is checked against the logbook. You cannot vote many times. Once a vote is accepted, it is marked as voted. You might understand, if you got more votes with the same name, the authorities would be called. We have a very safe system.

Good post. Thanks for trying to straighten out the crooked. I would just add one thing. When you vote by mail, at least here, you must also sign the OUTSIDE of the envelope that contains your ballot and its "secrecy sleeve," as they call it here. That signature is checked against the signature on record. If they do not match, the ballot is set aside (not thrown away!) and you have the chance to contact your precinct to make sure that it was tallied. If it wasn't, then you have the opportunity to cast a provisional ballot, but you are running the risk that your vote won't be counted. If you don't sign the outside of the envelope, the ballot is discarded. Ballots are NOT marked with (R) or (D) or (L) or anything else that indicates how you voted. I have no idea where that guy got that idea from. Reichwing media comes to mind.

Yes, they do and usually for few benefits and very low pay. I used to do in-home day care. One of my families had moved to Missouri from Texas. The mom told me that down there, they had a live-in nanny/cook/housekeeper who took care of their three kids, cleaned, cooked, shopped, etc. all for $60/week. She came on a bus from Mexico early Monday morning, and went back on Friday evening. For $60/week. I was charging her $75/week for the 3 kids (two of whom were in school); I had the feeling she thought I should charge her less.
