I'll keep reading and then come back to this post.

Reports show that between 26k and 30k people showed up, streets were full, blocked etc and there was a line of people 3 miles long. The usual Trump supporters showed up, there were some reports of Trump supporters causing trouble, but there weren't any cops called out or anything. And there was a LOT of LEO presence in the area. Several local residents had people parking on their streets, unable to get home. Several businesses had no parking as well. My husband had to miss a board meeting for a local non-profit, as there was no parking. And this meeting was at least 3 miles from the venue. Also, the school was not closed to classes, so any student going there that evening had to just deal with all of this.

This.

What you're registered as means very little.

Facts.

These can be faked SO easily.

One of the issues (and CA continuously experiences this EVERY time they try to add stricter gun laws), is that MANY of the laws they try to pass are unconstitutional, based on the 2nd Amendment. Even trying to outlaw specific guns will get reviewed by the SCOTUS and then not pass because it's in direct violation of the right to bear arms. We already have like a 10 day waiting period in CA, extensive background check, you have to take a gun safety course and obtain a license...and we still have violence, shootings, etc. The safety course even ASKS you if you have any history of mental illness, are on any kind of medication, etc. You and I can just easily lie on there as the next person; no one checks your medical history to verify. The 2nd Amendment is tricky...it was created when we had flippin' rifles that took serious time to load, we didn't have automatic/semi automatic magazines that held 30 bullets. Should it be amended to include more safety or specific firearms laws? Sure. BUT...you're also still going to have people that get a hold of a gun when they shouldn't or can't have one, they are mentally ill, or whatever.

I mean, I am not ugly. But I don't know that I'd sell more than someone half my age with much perkier boobies.

I went to them last year. it's interesting getting there because it's down this really long, tiny, residential street. Then you pull into this parking lot, not very big either. The entrance to the caverns is this very steep, skinny, winding staircase. I don't think my husband (6'8" and 290) would fit. But the tour is pretty cool, very low ceilings, walkway is also very narrow.

Nobody wants a short, grey haired 50 year old lady selling them beers, hahahah!

I've been to Murphy's and it's a nice little town, this seems like it would be pretty cool. I don't golf tho.

This is your second post that makes me think Engorgeous isn't the right user name for you.

Why are we funding private colleges that already have other higher donors and tuition?

I love Buddhism. I'e been reading up on it for a long time, it can be hard to put into practice when you come from a Christian background, but I am working on it. ETA: I've tried reading the Bhavagad Gita, not Buddhism but Hindu, and it similar concepts that might be easy to read like a story, but the practice and message is much deeper.

So I notice that there are some folks that post ALL day. Like there doesn't appear to be a lag time or a break in their posting. I am logged in all day, but I check here and there, take a break for a couple of hours. whatever. And some are just SO engrained in the political threads, and posting I wonder how they have time for anything else. Especially if they are working. Do you guys have hobbies? Jobs? Friends? Family?

One of the lamest things ever. It was a space flight for rich women. Waste of time and money. ALL of the posts I've seen about it on SM are, "All we want is decent healthcare."

I don't care, just an observation. Also, I am not monitoring, but it just seems to be the same people again and again.

$9.99 for eggs at the store I shop at. $4.85 for regular gas, the premium gas is nearly $5.20.

And MediCal goes bankrupt.

Your mom.

Not so engorgeous after all, eh?

From what I've read and heard, they are targeting some of the red cities. The prior location they were going to go to is pretty red, rural, lots of recreational hunters, fishing, mountain/foothills. Folsom is just at the edge of Sacramento county before you get to the foothills, we are pretty purple but there's a LOT of new development and stuff going up. So I can see why they chose us vs another city near their prior location.

Lots of ranting and raving and cheering, I am sure.

Indeed. Amen.
