The hypocrisy is nauseating.

California? They're one of the states that foots the bill for the red states.
And you want them to go away?
Why don't we ditch the financial drains instead?

California is in extreme debt. We are around $60 billion in the hole. We are not flipping the bill for anyone. We can't even flip our own bill.

You will never convince Rob his graphs and databases are wrong...

So true, but that's okay because Biden.

I don't think Biden got permission from Congress to open the border either. Let me put on my Constitutional Scholar hat real quick: Yep definitely a violation of the Constitution on both counts.

By now you think the liberal media would figure out Team Trump is ready to counter their predetermined narratives. Mcenany did it to them, Trump is always ready for their big gotcha moment, and Leavitt doesn't got caught off guard.

If I'm only "pointing to specific ones ", that means it happens. Are you saying that only because it happened to some people, that it never happened? Interesting.
I guess that means since only a limited number of people have won the lottery, that means no one has ever won the lottery?
Your logic is a failure.

Well, you specifically stated that X will ban you if you speak poorly of Trump. You didn't say "some people got banned." So, you miss-spoke. That happens. Just admit that's not what you meant.

You think only one water tower with 1,000,000 gallons of water should be able to put out a 200,000 acre fire? And that a reservoir with billions of gallons in it is not enough for that tower/tank?
You can't even tell me how many towers there were in the general area, how much water the tower pumps can move, or how much water was in the reservoir.
But, do you want to argue that you know what happened in the fires and why they burned out of control?
That's laughable

What's laughable is your lack of understanding that two reservoirs would have greatly helped keeping up with the demands. Can you quench your dying thirst while drinking from a single coffee straw? Probably not, but if you added another coffee straw, then you would be fine.

You said that the source feeding the tower had a 36 inch pipe. That is a fact.
So, what was the pump capability of the pump that was feeding that tower from the 36 inch feed pipe?
Can you comprehend the question, or is it too confusing for you?
I'll ask it again: what is the feed capability of the pump connected to that "single tower "?

LOL.... If you google it and/or go back to what I said earlier, there is no pump going to the tower. It gravity fed. Or do you not comprehend what gravity fed means? Is that too confusing for you?

I'm saying that gun laws became more restrictive under Trump than they did under Biden or under Obama. It's a fact.
Only the two gun laws made it through Congress during Obama's eight years in office. Neither of those added any restrictions.
Trump added restrictions. Bump stock ban. Stricter background checks.
Biden added red flag laws, but while he was POTUS, constitutional carry was reinstated in New York.
Trump loses on the gun front.

The Red Flag law is much more strict than the bump stock ban. Google it. As for the background checks, that didn't happen. To be sure, I Googled it. Trump said he would veto that bill if it passed, but it never passed the Senate.

As for the gun laws in New York, you have to be joking if you're going to give that credit to Biden. That was lifted because the Supreme Court told them to.

So, Trump wins!

It's unclear BECAUSE it was so poorly written. Try harder.

Nothing comes to mind, after all the ones the Republicans tried to claim turned out to be BS.
You obviously have something in mind, so go ahead and post it, instead of trying this silly dance.

I figured you couldn't think of anything. You still have your liberal glasses on that don't allow you to see what's really going on. SO, I'll throw one out there. How about Biden taking home top-secret documents while he was VP?

Ahhh, so you paid $2 and Concord is at a low of $2.69
Pretty close to a 70 cent increase, eh?

BTW- There is no such think as "the $2 range"
A "range" in math is all the integers between two numbers. If you want to say "in the area of $2.00" then you'd be talking about approx $1.50 to $2.50 But that would be a lie b/c no way in hell you paid $1.50/gallon.

Face it, you wanted to minimize the apparent price you paid by incorrectly using the term "range", so you could say gas was $2.00.
Your own words came back to bite you.
It's a regular occurrence.

You want to berate someone for poor grammar after you just wrote "There is no such think as the $2 range?" LOL....

When correcting someone, you should really do better. LOL

California is in extreme debt. We are around $60 billion in the hole. We are not flipping the bill for anyone. We can't even flip our own bill.

In a ranking of states that are least dependent on Federal funds, California is #2. New Jersey is the #1 least federally dependent state.
Translated: California pays more into the federal coffers than it gets back from the federal coffers.

Flip side: States like New Mexico, Mississippi, Kentucky, West Virginia, get back more than they pay in.
Thus, the states that pay more and get less are supporting the states that pay less and get more.

Still confused? Think of it this way: You go to lunch with a friend, and agree to split the bill 50/50. He orders steak, you order a hot dog.
You're supporting his eating habits.

I love how every time Rob thinks he has a point he has to then use an example to explain his point. Is that for us Rob, or yourself?

Wow, you REALLY got me on that one!
That completely erases the fact that Thx said I was wrong about gas going up 70 cents in North Carolina, yet he said he was paying $2 and it's now anywhere from $2.69 to $2.93.

Good job. You proved that Trump wasn't lying when he said prices would drop from DAY ONE.
Super sleuth!

BTW - How are you doing on that water system data? For a bigshot insider, it sure is taking you a long time to pony up any facts.
Did the mayor stop taking your calls?

Rumor has that Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. is also an OG car audio fanatic and has been reading this thread and realized there are all sorts of examples of spending that falls out of the "appropriations" clause/process and changed his mind. Trump's buyouts can move forward. The Evil Orange Guy is just kicking arse and taking names. Before anybody goes and says this proves Rob wrong, it doesn't. It just proves Rob's other point - that Trump is a Fascist Dictator.

Judge rules Trump's sweeping plan to persuade federal workers to resign can move forward

U.S. District Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. dissolved his restraining order blocking the "deferred resignations" program after finding the plaintiffs lacked legal standing.

Definitely for you. Comprehension of a point, without examples and analogies, is definitely not in your wheelhouse.

You could at least have let Thx and OldSlapper scream that I know nothing and was wrong.
It would have been fun to stomp them yet again.
Killjoy.
