A Republican Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger and with help from Republican law makers
left the state with >$25 billion deficit but a liberal Democratic Governor, Jerry Brown along
with Democratic law makers now have the state with a $9 billion surplus.
California's new Democratic Governor, Gavin Newsom and current democratic law makers are
continuing along the same path and currently California has the 5th or 6th biggest economy
in the world.
That was the funniest thing I've read this morning, but it is still early and Trump is still an idiot.
1) yes he is an idiot
b) I don't know if he knows that "The Apprentice" was a make believe TV show (backed by Russian money)
iii) Really bad shit is about to come out and he wants to change the news cycle
iii) - that's pretty scary, but then again, I don't think I can give him that much credit so early on a Sunday morning. He has to be in combat mode 24/7, as he thrives on conflict and chaos.
Actually I like b) and it is quite possible he doesn't know the show was make believe. And of course, he IS an idiot!

(70,567 posts)DHS, FBI say election systems in all 50 states were targeted in 2016
A joint intelligence bulletin (JIB) has been issued by the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation to state and local authorities regarding Russian hacking activities during the 2016 presidential election. While the bulletin contains no new technical information, it is the first official report to confirm that the Russian reconnaissance and hacking efforts in advance of the election went well beyond the 21 states confirmed in previous reports.
(does the Mueller Report covers this?)

add in that the exit polls had Hillary WINNING many of the states that she lost and that put Trump
into the White House.

Does that make me a bad person? Maybe.
But I'm still miles above him in the humanity department.

(70,567 posts).... order to cause pain and confusion so they could get the legally elected Democratic
Governor, Grey Davis, recalled and replaced with Schwarzenegger. CA has been doing
great now that they replaced the Rs with Ds.

(70,567 posts)Please don't get sucked down the rabbit hole of trying to correct Trump's
grammar, punctuations, or spelling because it is a bottomless pit.
BTW I buy into the internet memes that Daddy Trump bought Donny's way
into the U. of Penn and that he had flunked out of Fordham University.
