CA: shitty laws that cause businesses and carpetbaggers to mass exodus to TX
NY: HOLD MY BEER.

Thanks to the Democratic leadership in NY and NYC, Illegal aliens are being offered free healthcare, welfare checks, protection from deportation, and now financial assistance for college - all paid for by inflicting its citizens with a tax rate that is among the highest in the nation.

THOSE CRIME STATISTICS ARE RACIST!

https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...2xUV0R0xQr_rTU

To combat a surge in violent crime, the Los Angeles Police Department doubled the size of its elite Metropolitan Division in 2015, creating special units to swarm crime hot spots.

Metro officers in unmarked, dark-gray SUVs began pulling over drivers to search cars for guns or drugs. By 2018, the number stopped by Metro was nearly 14 times greater than before the expansion.

The effectiveness of the strategy is hard to assess: Crime continued to rise for several years before dipping in 2018.

But it has caused a shift that some consider alarming: Metro officers stop African American drivers at a rate more than five times their share of the city’s population, according to a Times analysis.

Unmarked police vehicles should be outlawed in most cases.

he's been expecting to be indited for some time now.1

I think the more interesting story is how Mueller gave the press over an hour heads-up before he sent in a swat team of 29 FBI agents at 6am to sverve the warrant to the 70yo, but not Stone's legal team.

The CNN reporter literally called it "reporters instinct" to be camping outside Stone's house at 5am.

He was released immediately on bail -- the arrest was unnecessary -- it was just a way for Mueller to give his fake new buddies a real story for once.


Still waiting for Russian collusion. LMK when they find some.


But you may be glad to hear, the witch hunt has now been upgraded to a dog and pony show!

Jerome Corsi, an ally of longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone, said Monday that he expected to be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller for perjury.

Corsi, a conspiracy theorist who has been meeting with Mueller‘s team for two months, said that he spoke to prosecutors for around 40 hours but that talks had “all blown up.“

=start=start

“I‘m going to be indicted,“ he said in a livestreamed video. “I anticipate being indicted.“

Reports have suggested that Mueller‘s interest in Corsi stems from a review of communications between him and Stone in 2016 about an impending release of Clinton campaign emails by WikiLeaks, the transparency activist organization. Mueller is investigating whether any Americans had advance knowledge of the email dump, which dominated the final weeks of the campaign.

Corsi called the impending indictment the result of a “perjury trap,“ though he emphasized that he wasn‘t totally sure what the indictment might be for. Corsi‘s attorney declined to comment.

Corsi also repeatedly emphasized his continued support for Trump‘s presidency and urged backers to send him money for his legal defense.

“I think my crime, really, is supporting Donald Trump,“ he said, in between long rants about voter fraud and suggesting that Democrats intend to overthrow Trump.

Did you miss the part where Paul Manafort pled guilty to it?


Amusingly, former Ukranian president Viktor F. Yanukovych (for whom Manafort was a consultant for about 10 years) was just convicted of treason in his own country, for basically being a Russian puppet.
