Holy crap. I thought it was bad out here. Sacramento has nothing on that.

I’m having a hard time coming up with something worse than this

Yes I have, and as recently as July 2024 and I was actually in what I was told is the more 'normal' area of California (Mendocino area).


No man. If you want ”normal” you come to the Central Valley. Good people here. Very traditional. We fight we the Bay and SoCal.

I know that. He needs to show the full letter with his accusations being that serious. Because his claim runs contradictory to the statewide operation that happened earlier this year that I cited. That operation and his claim run contradictory to one another.

quote:

it's doubtful that he's making up false claims.


Lots of people make a lot of claims for reasons that motivate them and them only.

Look, as others have pointed out (assuming the claim is true) this guy has an opportunity to put the democrat establishment in Cali on the defensive and ruin the political careers of some really bad people that have much higher aspirations. You don't sit on stuff like that. You put it out there in full view with every single news organization. Force the issue. You get Trump involved along with anyone else. This is an act of pure evil if his version of events is true.
The Great Communicator. :usa:
If you're gonna make that claim you damn well need to show the letter in its entirety. I know that we've had statewide vice operations specifically targeting this type of activity earlier this year. God forbid the state gave the direction as described.

quote:

“On Wednesday, January 18,2026, as part of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, the Fresno Police Department participated in a statewide VICE operation targeting human traffickers, sex purchasers, and men meeting minors for sexual acts. The operation resulted in multiple arrests, with two suspects arrested for arriving to meet minors for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts. Both suspects were booked into the Fresno County Jail for attempted lewd acts with a child under the age of 14 and for contacting a minor with intent for sex.

The following agencies assisted in the operation: Special Operations Finding Kids, the Department of Homeland Security (HSI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the Clovis Police Department, and the Axis Hotel Group. The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office has assigned a Deputy District Attorney Nicole Idiart to the VICE team.

We are thankful for the relationship with Breaking the Chains (BTC), and Central Valley Against Human Trafficking (CVAHT). The Fresno Police Department is dedicated to the prevention of these sexually motivated criminal offenses, as well as Human and Labor Trafficking not only during National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, but throughout the entire year.

Anyone with information regarding Human Trafficking can contact Crime Stoppers and remain anonymous by calling Crimestoppers at 559-498-STOP. You can also contact the Fresno Police Department’s Human Trafficking Hotline at 559-621-5950.”


Statewide Operation

frick off, lady. That’s a threat and everyone knows it.

I haven’t seen anyone frick up an answer that badly since this girl. Who was also from South Carolina.



That will change in about 72 hours.

Do you have a timeline on when this will happen that you'd like to share with us? Or are we just supposed to wait until that magical day comes?
This is a local story for me. Madera might have 10 black people in it. It’s overwhelmingly Hispanic and white people. She isn’t going to find a friendly audience with this kind of BS. Madera Unified’s boundaries go up into the mountains where the rednecks live and those guys and gals aren’t going to let something like this go. Lastly, she’s an idiot. A soon to be unemployed idiot. She’s already been placed on leave.

I know it’s more than just a ballroom but that seems a bit much.

Trump - Biden - Trump has been a deadly combination for our debt. Edit: Trump started in 2017 with $19.947 trillion in debt.


Inexcusable. Even if we got our shite together right now and decided on fiscal conservatism and paying down the debt our great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandchildren will be paying for our mistakes. Well, maybe not. The country could always implode first.
quote:

No, they didn't.


In all seriousness the Dow more than doubled, S&P tripled during his presidency... as nice as those numbers are (in a vacuum) they did not represent the overall health of the economy. The economy still sucked under Obama and growth was anemic. No one in their right mind should ever think that what happened then was normal. The post I responded to equated market performance with a good economy which isn’t necessarily true, thus my use of Obama.
quote:

But how is the economy in the toilet? S&P 500 is at an all time high.


Ah, yes. I know most of us look back fondly on the Obama years because the markets did just fine back then too…

quote:

There's a HUGE GAPING difference between a rightist populist and a conservative. Same on the other side (although not as big, admittedly, because populism is baked into liberalism. Which is why populism always pulls left. Which is why MAGA accepts so many leftist propositions without blinking.)





I wouldn’t say MAGA is dead but the captain of the Trumptanic isn’t trying to avoid the iceberg and he doesn’t have any lifeboats for any of us to use.
quote:

We need joint military exercises with our allies, it is crucial. Getting rid of them is beyond stupid.


His statement is unbelievably fricking dumb. But the exercise is only being scaled down some. NHK (Japanese state media) confirmed it. It doesn’t excuse his claimed good relationship with Kim or South Korea’s status as a non participant in a war of our choosing as justification for this statement.

This is yet another self inflicted error. Earlier this year it was very difficult to find many posters that would openly be critical of Trump. That has changed dramatically since the Iran War started. He’s losing support and there’s no denying it. Maybe the Left capitalizes on it and maybe they don’t but this stuff shouldn’t be happening. Especially during an election year.
