I believe, and this is as diplomatic as I care to be, that he is perhaps concerned with billionaires fleeing the state and that a national approach could prevent that.

On the other hand it is more likely that his resistance to the CA tax and cheerleading of a national approach is purely performative as it will simply not happen at that scale, so that his pseudo-progressive veneer isn’t stripped away.

Oof, just did that a couple of days ago, in prod no less (not able to test particular change in lower envs). Good times.

Rape children - no worries. Touch algae pond - believe it or not, straight to jail.

This is a guy who has lost all control of a very bad situation. Republicans all seem fine with it. They talk a game, but avoid the mechanisms in place to put an end to it all. They are neck deep in the sunken cost of supporting a moron and they are out of moves. Good times.

The icing on the cake was that it was caused by a drunk Russian missile, not a Ukrainian drone.

Another triumph for King Mierdas

So the epic lid flip was self-inflicted. Impressive.

Was it the Swedes who said something to the effect of “We aren’t going to reward someone who brings a bucket to extinguish the fire they started.”

That is accurate.

Yeah, that was weird timing.

Game recognize game.

They didn’t handle Mitch’s reboots very well either.

Dr Nick Riviera. “…the red thing’s connected to my - wristwatch. Uh oh”

“Two weeks” Now, where have I heard that before?

Despite showing up every day.

10 years too late for this, but better late than never. That was funny as shit. He such an absolute fraud (and pedophile, don’t forget that) and our fearless republican congress let this happen (don’t forget that either).

A funny question would have been to have him detail the end-to-end lifecycle of a California ballot. Then he could enlighten the world where in that process it all becomes fraudulent. It means a lot more than us, or worse yet - him, “just looking at it”.

His words are just a waste of calories. His existence should serve only as an example to current and future generations. And, finally, his grave as both a monument to greed, cowardice and negligence of duty. …Oh, and a urinal, naturally.

This was the only one of his that I couldn’t wrap my head around. I initially landed on #1, but 3 is definitely his type of humor. Good call

The same JD Vance that stoked racist phobias against Haitians for eating people’s pets?

It was sure nice of him to hand over ownership so they could begin that process. What a guy.
