Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He’s down on his knees

I love L.A. (we love it)

Yeah, but for the thieves and shoplifters, stolen goods and merchandise does not.

Those idiots will keep voting Dem, because it makes them feel good about themselves. Meanwhile, many of those fleeing CA to other states will bring the same kind of lunacy with them.

No one can save us from ourselves.

On the last mayoral...

https://laist.com/news/politics/2022-election-california-general-live-results-los-angeles-city-mayor-bass-caruso

Note this bit...

“...The contest was a virtual dead heat on Election Night. Caruso pulled slightly ahead last Thursday, but since then Bass gained a steady lead....”

Sound familiar?

It should.

LA didn’t vote for this.

But it will keep happening until they secure their damned elections.

And, BTW, if Caruso's name in that above link sounds familiar, it should. Deep State is planning on getting even with him for saving his property during the wildfires...

LA billionaire Rick Caruso’s private fire crews the target of California bill

Never happen, that would be racist.

No one gave me a home, but somehow I have one. I believe anyone can fall on hard times, and I believe some just can’t get a break. I also believe the majority of homeless are mentally ill, or willfully living the way they do.

Isn’t it interesting that Deep State has to steal a blue county, a blue state...

Oh, there’s hope.

And it scares Deep State.

“”Ridley-Thomas was sentenced to 42 months in prison, but continues appearing at public events with Mayor Bass while appealing his conviction.””

CA could build a new prison to house all the criminals in this story...UNBELIEVABLE! Be interesting the next time these people run for re-election to the Board of Supervisors or City Council - and mayor. Save $$ and recall them all NOW!

BTW - LA is Louisiana not Los Angeles - L.A.....the writer needs a “clue”..

If they want to keep hitting themselves with a hammer guess we have to let them.

This is the crime family - there’s no other word for it - that is smacking its lips over the prospect of limitless federal aid for the LA fires. They’re going to the state for a bailout at the moment but the big prize is in DC.

Through confiscatory personal and property tax, the government will own all property and everyone will work for the government. People get the government they deserve. Los Angeles will show America how and why communism fails. Will we learn anything from it?
