And no, I don’t watch sports in person or on tv. In fact I don’t watch tv at all. Don’t even have one. ... but I am aware that many who do lap up whatever Trump pours in their saucers.

And now I am out for an evening stroll with the dog. Rant on.
Hey I saw the same with Obama. People were deranged anytime Obama did something positive or negative. I do love the "rant on" from a guy with 14,000 posts compared to my 130 or so. I only need 1,870 by May to be on your pace. I don't think I have it in me.

Lol. You can’t even read well, huh ... take a closer look at what I wrote (hint: the apostrophe assigns possession of the derangement).

Heh

The derangement is kicking in again. Definitely do the walk. Never knew ranting about a couple subjects was more than ranting about more than a couple subjects.

You like math, eh Bolander? Here’s some: my 14,000 posts over 9 years are spread over many dozens upon dozens of different topics from humor to history, politics, nature, science, economics, boating, hiking, biking, wildlife, pets, veteran’s issues, and especially homelessness, and more ... at a rate of about 5 a day average.

All but about 4 of your 130 or so posts came in 2 thread topics in the past 10 days at a rate of about 12.5 a day average ... both of which topics you spent entirely blathering about lower tax costs of Texas compared to California and how that gets more square footage of house and a pool. Lol.

So twice the rate of posting from you, all obsessing on one topic for one purpose: trash California ... ignoring of course that most Californians are quite pleased to be where they are.

Let’s hear more about obsessed derangements from you.

Who woulda thought you would more obsessed with me than you are that Trump is ending the world?


Thank you for pointing out that you rant about far more, for far longer .


I guess you are correct that people are satisfied with mediocrity. I simply expect more. I guess that’s why I would consider living on a tiny boat in San Diego by myself with only a dog with nothing but my crazy thoughts about Trump as a complete failure. To each his own

Most of us figured out with this new tax plan we all have more money in our pockets and many also figured out there is a world outside of CA where life is a lot better and a lot easier. For the few who can't figure out how to pay lower taxes with the new tax policy or how to get the same lifestyle at 1/3 or 1/4 of the costs continue with the Stockholm Syndrome where CA holds you hostage. Between that and TDS it must be a nightmare

So California is the only state with income tax..wow, imagine that all this time I thought there were only 7 states without income tax.

Really? then please explain to me how you came to that conclusion because I'm really curious about how you know so much about my home.

Good point. Those who try to spin that property taxes are higher as a cost for like type cities and properties in CA over TX for example are, to use your words, Too Damn Stupid.

Those who try to act as if this new federal tax policy hurts most people in CA are, to use your words, Too Damn Stupid.

As I said it is pretty simple. Acknowledge the truth and own it. No on can have any issue with a person that admits that yes they have to pay higher property tax costs for like type situation in Ca but it is worth it to them or that while this new policy helps the mass majority of people they would rather have higher taxes to fund other things. Personally if I found CA the most desirable place I would just flat out say I don't care if it is the highest taxed place in the country I want to live here. I readily acknowledge that where I live now is higher taxed than many places around the country, instead of trying to spin it any other way.

It is rather funny to see people deny what is, rather than just own what is.

ok, here's a proposition for you, if I agree with everything you say will you quit posting in the California forum?
