On way to CA for mtgs. Since it’s become a foreign country I have my passport and stashed some plastic straws in lining of suitcase. If caught I will ask for sanctuary status!

Ted Lieu Retweeted Gov. Mike Huckabee
Dear @GovMikeHuckabee: Welcome to California, which has now grown to the 5th largest economy in the world.

And according to @usnews, CA is ranked #4 for economy & #11 for healthcare out of 50 states. Arkansas, however, is #40 for economy & #49 for healthcare. Have a nice visit.

Hucka-baby is unarmed. Can't a so-called grown adult refrain from taking gratuitous and unwarranted swipes just once?

The honorable Representative Lieu just slapped lil Mikey back to his crib without a single insult.

Aug 2018

but, I did something similar to a Republican politician on Twitter after he was saying how he'd much rather live in Texas where there are far fewer regulations on guns than there are in my state of Connecticut. (not sure why it came down to Texas versus CT, as I am pretty sure he was from the Carolinas?)

I don't have the tweet from a few months back, but I'll update it using what I find now

Violent Crime Rate by state: Connecticut 22/10,000 residents; Texas 41/10,000 residents
https://www.santarosa-lawyer.com/united-states-crime-map-2017/

Connecticut, 6th safest state:

Texas, 47th safest state:
https://www.securitysales.com/fire-intrusion/2018-safest-most-dangerous-states-us/

in 2016, Connecticut had 2.2 murders & non-negligent manslaughter per 100,000 residents
In 2016, Texas, had 5.5 murders & non-negligent manslaughter per 100,000 residents

That's how you hit harder Facts about things that matter to people.
In the Con's and Fuckabee's minds, states are ranked by loyalty and deference to a lying, racist, vile cretin.
#1 in healthcare, economy, etc don't matter to these fascists. Time to ask the citizens which one matters to them.ad

Come on, Huckster......you have to do better than that. Although California is ranked a mediocre 26th in education, it cleans Arkansas's clock with their 45th place finish. 45th place! You could stay home and read cereal boxes all day and learn more than that (after a Californian taught you how to read, that is)!

Huckabees. They're not the most ignorant people on the planet, but it's not for lack of trying.
