Democrats ruin everything.

California once had the rule of law.
Now they are a Mexican colony.
They gave them to criminal illegals and mentally-ill homeless? Well, no wonder they;re GONE and not available, NOW. Nice going, commies, fascists, socialists, anarchists, demonKKKrats... reap what you sow, asswipes.

But only because its Trumps fault.
The didn’t have $5.8 Million with an M to pay the rent on their storage units but they have $23 Billion with a B to spend on illegal aliens.

Trump should Compliment Arnold to nicely draw attention to this story.
“”California once had mobile hospitals and a ventilator stockpile””

"I got bad news for you Emily. It's just more of them same damn ventilators."
Brilliant.
...and good schools and roads with no potholes and school children without lice in their hair and...
“Democrats ruin everything.”
Democrats ruin everything.
Worth repeating.
Sorry, buddy, we’re out of ventilators. Try a Moonbeam instead!
I’m surprised MSN published this.
