Sorry, the SF 49ers dynasty run from 1981 to 1998 is more impressive than the Patriot's

Those 49er teams faced and defeated far more impressive opponents than have the Pats.

Whoa! About that California $6.1 billion budget surplus

It just hit me. That surplus is BEFORE the marijuana tax revenue comes in!!! Holy cow!!!

For those feeling demoralized, angry, frustrated, or just plain sad. This will help. PLEASE READ.

There's a special election coming up in Pennsylvania on March 13th. Conor Lamb, a promising, young Democrat, is trying to win Chris Murphy's seat in a deep Republican congressional district. Conor is the underdog in this race, but the Republicans are freaking out about his chances and are sending Trump and plenty of cash to his opponent, Rick Saccone.

If you want to get back at Trump tonight, donate $5 or $10 to Conor Lamb. I just did, and it made me feel a whole lot better. Even if Conor loses, your voice will be heard. The donation link is below:

--On Edit--

Conor is a former Marine and prosecutor. He looks like a young Bob Mueller. Hahaha!

Ironically, Norway probably thinks of the USA as a "shithole" country

Norway ranks as one of the happiest countries on earth.

Why would anyone want to leave there and come here? Esp. with a total asshole as the president. Hell, we don't even have decent health care.

Hillary Clinton to host day time talk show.

Just kidding....buuuuttt would not be such a terrible idea. Thinking more along the lines of a Phil Donahue type show with more news worthy guests less reliance on celebrities.

If a Democrat re-takes the WH in 2020, this person has to be the Secy of State

For at least two years. Our international reputation is so severly damaged we will need a former president to re-assure the world that everything is back on track. Yes, I know precedent and all that jazz, but these are unprecedented times that we will live. We have lost so much that it may take decades to get things back on track.

We need to reassure our allies that we are once again sane, and we need a bold statement like this.
