Now that most of California’s House Republicans have voted for a tax overhaul that will raise taxes for many of their constituents, you have to wonder what more good cheer they’ll bring us in the new year.

I’m thinking roads and other infrastructure.

A measure hurtling toward the November 2018 ballot would repeal the 12-cent per gallon gasoline tax increase approved this past legislative session to pay for road repairs, bridge maintenance and some public transit. Granted, no one wants to pay more for gasoline. But potholes don’t fill themselves.


That’s not stopping House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Bakersfield, and most of California’s Republican congressional delegation from backing that repeal – with a notable exception, Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Turlock.

McCarthy, a guy who knows politics, dumped $100,000 into the initiative to repeal the gas tax. Rep. Mimi Walters, an Orange County Republican, and Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, chipped in $50,000 each, recent campaign finance reports show.

Hey McCarthy, you can try to pull your bull shit, but we are coming...............we hate traitors and people that support traitors, and we really hate people that support a sexual serial assaulter and since your the number two on the fascist list in the house, what say you about your speaker and what he did?

Here is a reminder, and people in California should ask, when did you know? You are the RNC asshole, all of you............................even the "guy" from Turlock................






WE are coming November 2018 can't get here fast enough, asshole.................
