STINKS to high heaven and it is going to take YEARS to clean up the mess and destruction that they have done to our government.

We WILL need a functioning Senate to work WITH the House of Representatives to regain the "balance of power" between the three branches, especially since it does not seem to be a safe bet to count on the Supreme Court to be working in a true "constitutional" manner.

Our number one task: GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!

since Trumpo and his wimp AG threaten to disenfranchise the entire state over mail-in ballots.

I am going to get brain damage from constantly shaking my head.

Thank Dawg for Gavin Newsom for quietly doing what's right in the face in The Orange One's bluster.
