hates California. Gov Newsom hopefully will NOT bow down.

I will continue to give to good causes to help Californians regain their lives.

I hate that fucking felon. Mar la Loco will be his lire or what they call his "Summer White House". I wouldn't be surprised if his owner Putin stops in, all the Oligarchs and his other dictators will be present, oh to be a fly on the wall.

on Joy Reid tonight she listed the Tech Bros who will be at his inauguration.

David Sacks Venture Capitalist
Dara Khosrowshahi Uber CEO
Peter THIEL PAYPAL PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES
Sundar Pichai GOOGLE & ALPHABET CEO
Tim COOK Apple CEO
Elon Musk X Space X CEO
Jeff Bezos Amazon CEO
Mark Zuckerberg META CEO
Shou Zi Chew TIKTOC CEO
Sam Altman CEO AND CO FOUNDER OF CHATGPT MAKER

That's the list. Those guys are going to be in the forefront, we won't be. Unless.....we boycott them all.

That’s okay when poorer states need a hand, or other states have a natural disaster — that’s a compact. The horrible thing (well, one among many) about trump and MAGAGOP is that the compact is being broken. They hate us that much.

Our money is with the feds — and at the moment the damage is so great that we need it back.

And, I posted on one of those Gov Newsom is going to fly the Flag at Full Mast because I think he's choosing his battles and is doing this for the Fire Victims. 💕

Who the hell knows where this is going to end.. I just wish the very best for California! What is FAIR!

My Niece and her son were fortunate that their home survived but she knows 11 Families around close by whose homes didn't .

Aloha
