No, it was during Jerry Brown's first tour as governor. He was opposed to it, too, but when it passed, he took it on and people started blaming it on him, calling it the Jarvis-Brown act. It's screwed our schools ever since, and city/county governments are squeezed from both ends too. Oh well, at least I can afford to keep my house for now.
"We’ve heard some dumb stuff over the years about migrant caravans heading for the US border, but we do not ever recall hearing that the migrants were bringing cattle with them."
`
Fine, let's play this particular little fantasy out.
Let's suppose that the "caravans" are bringing cattle with them from Mexico or South America or wherever.
Now, I'm not some sort of [modest chuckle]... heh heh... FANCY BIG CITY ECONOMICS EXPERT... But if I'm to understand this correctly, when the supply of any particular commodity increases, that would tend to flood the market and drive the prices DOWN.
So even if Smirky were tethered to reality at all, and not just pulling completely made up fictions out of his ample ass, that STILL wouldn't make any sense.
I realize that no one in this administration has even a passing relationship to truth or fact, but if the minions are going to bother to make up stories, instead of just saying, "Because SHUT UP! That's why!", then at the very least, those stories should be INTERNALLY consistent.
Thanks to a pair of (incorrigible, reckless, caring and foolish) You People, I made it (barely) through Maddow on Monday last night, went cRAsH, bOoM, and got 8 hrs sleep.
GRAZIE, GRAZIE, you know who you are!

And how are the rest of you reprobates this morning??
In a video of a gaggle with the press on November 14 released by the White House, Trump says "quiet, quiet piggy" as a female reporter, stood off camera, begins to ask a question about the files. The president then appears to wave a finger in her face.
The reporter was from Bloomberg, CBS News' Jennifer Jacobs later said in a post on X...
Can we take a moment to appreciate the irony of this fat son of a bitch who wallows in his own piss and shit all day long, reeks so that people can smell it from across the room, insists on eating twice as much as anybody else at the table, and is a r @ pist, calling ANYONE ELSE a pig?
The next reporter should ask the exact same question in the exact same words.
The reporter after that should ask the exact same question in the exact same words, and the reporter after that, and the reporter after that, and the reporter after that.
If he storms out in a tizzy, they should start all over again at the next press conference/pep rally, and the one after that, and the one after that.
He may lock them out of Story Hour, or he may have a rage stroke, or both.
If you watch the video it's genuinely shocking. Even with all the other shit he's done over the last decade, this still has the power to upset in part, I think, because you actually see the anger and contempt coming from him that led to the stories of how he assaulted Ivana and which make the Epstein accusations seem even more plausible. He fucking hates women, especially if they're criticising him.
After scouring a beach in the harbor all morning in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, a retired Dutch engineer, Cock van den Berg, had finally found something interesting: a polished black stone about the size of an acorn with two punctures, like finger holes in a bowling ball.
He held it out in the palm of his hand to show Dick Mol, an expert on ice age fossils.
“What do you think?” he asked. “Is it a mammoth tooth?”
Mol examined it for about 30 seconds and decided it was not. It was a molar from a prehistoric rhinoceros, he said.
“It’s from a forest rhino,” he added, dating to “the time that hippos and straight-tusked elephants were living here,” about 126,000 to 116,000 years ago.
Van den Berg is what Dutch scientists like to call a “citizen paleontologist,” one of a cadre of enthusiastic scavengers who come to this 8-square-mile stretch of white sand beach dotted with wind turbines, to hunt for ice age fossils...
The port of Rotterdam, the largest harbor in Europe, might not be the kind of place one would expect to find clues to the Pleistocene Era. But as it happens, the human-made beaches that surround the harbor are considered key locations for finding remains of woolly mammoths, woolly rhinos and other giant creatures that roamed here many thousands to millions of years ago...
Ages ago, I was involved tangentially in a dig, in FL. We took an excursion one day, with the dig lead. At that site, we found a mammoth tooth. It was mammoth, probably 10 inches or more and heavy. Mammoth molar.

step 1 - learn about very serious issue that could result in mass destruction of stock (and therefore livelihood of farms)
step 2 - blame immigrants performatively
step 3 - totally fail to do the things needed to stop the coming scourge
step 4 - see step 2

Too late. That actor guy is already Squint Westwood.
Am I the only who was upset by those flying cows, fearing they'd be hurt/killed?
I expected to see Dorothy's house flying overhead. So far from Kansas.
Nope, don't like it, however special effectsy it may be.
Amen.
They’ve gone from eating the dogs to now eating the cows??!?
they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets, they're trafficking the screw worm beef

I can't say that I enjoyed that, but it's obvious that she really got to him.
Just once, JUST ONCE, I would like to see him called on his shit.
Ideally, I would like to see that reporter come back with, "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?" on camera.
At the very least, the door was open for, "What do you mean, "Be quiet"? What's the matter? You stuck for an answer?"

Either way, stop giving this asshole a pass.
i fucking want this so much. i want to watch him walk out to a chorus of questions about his weight and why he stinks so much.
(adam kinzinger constantly says he reeks and doesn't understand why no one else mentions it)
What. A. Asshole.
In every possible way, and then some.
If you watch the video it's genuinely shocking. Even with all the other shit he's done over the last decade, this still has the power to upset in part, I think, because you actually see the anger and contempt coming from him that led to the stories of how he assaulted Ivana and which make the Epstein accusations seem even more plausible. He fucking hates women, especially if they're criticising him.
I hate him with every fiber of my being, along with anyone who has ever supported him. I feel levels of rage I never knew were possible.
I hate this fucking timeline.
He lunges forward, points his finger at her and says "quiet piggy". It's not "appears to", he did it.
"You know those guys. From legal, 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 guys..."
Litigious and brain damaged, the buffoon has 'em hopping to comply
American press have to make it sound nicer tho
"complicit" is the word that oft springs to mind
Quiet Piggy somehow feels like something said to Trump that he hated.
It's also something he called Alicia Marchado back in 2016 when she accused him of leching on her.
Yeah, she was trying to ask about his dead pedo bestie.
Now imagine how he must talk to Karoline Leavitt in private.
Our president, ladies and gentlemen!

Mildly surprised they're still doing recalls. Has TrumpCo not gotten around to them yet?
When asked by a reporter he replied-"soon, pretty soon."
𝐴𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦, 𝑇𝑒𝑠𝑙𝑎 𝑠𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑠 "𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑑" 𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑗𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑈𝑆, 𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒.
Almost half of them!
Did they say if they did it intentionally? Lonnie Schmuck's enterprises seem to have a lot of unintentional stuff that happens rapidly
How do you remotely discharge a battery that is being recalled for getting too hot and starting fires? What does remotely discharge even mean?
Pretty sure they can connect remotely to the system and do whatever they want.
Just like the cars.
Except sometimes it doesn't work, and some people have disconnected them from the internet.
.
The batteries are far less less likely to catch fire when discharged.
.
The manufacturing of high-energy batteries has to be damned near perfect.. one teeny tiny bit of foreign matter and you end up with a time bomb.

Cock van den Berg, and Dick Mol???? What? Couldn't they contact Penis van Schlong?
I call bullshit.
Fuck Ted Cruz.
Ages ago, I was involved tangentially in a dig, in FL. We took an excursion one day, with the dig lead. At that site, we found a mammoth tooth. It was mammoth, probably 10 inches or more and heavy. Mammoth molar.
I always dream of finding one when kayaking, I follow five or six different people on youtube who dive FLA creeks and rivers looking for them.
They sell them by the slice on eBay. That's wild, boba!
