"California’s $100 billion surplus: What to know about Newsom’s spending plan" - May 12, 2022

"The massive windfall that the state is sitting on, coupled with the state’s progressive tax system is a sign of “the concentration of wealth and success in the hands of a few that are enjoying abundance in historic and unprecedented ways,” Newsom said. “I am proud of California’s progressive tax system…and we’re the beneficiary of that.”

Exactly one year ago they had nearly 100bn surplus?? What happened?? Oh yea, they left out they were being propped up by payoffs from their cronies in D.C.

Oh yea... Democrats... just a fucking money laundering scheme all the way around.

Can't make this shit up.

Too lazy to go looking, but I'm 99.9999999999999999% sure that Seran was bragging about this "surplus" and what a great governor Newsom was at some point last year. :rofl:

Can black people be white supremacists?

You sure have been doing a lot of projecting this week. Moreso than you usually are, that is.

On a serious note, why not? If a black person thinks white people are the superior race, and all other races are less, I guess he could be?

I remember vividly my first week in Moscow, this guy heard me speaking English, and asked where I was from? I’m like the states, he then goes on about how america is evil and he hates everything from my country and about my country… turns around and orders a Big Mac combo. People are hilarious

Sure he could, but let’s not pretend that so far removed from the norm.

I could have a Black Panther & NFAC (not fucking around crew) tattoo on my body, but doing so doesn’t automatically make me a member of their political organization / militia. What is a safe assumption though is that having those tattoos of conflicting radical ideology doesn’t make sense & would bring mental stability into question.

What would be the point of getting a swastika tattoo for example? Getting ink on your body, with something like this in my opinion, means it represents how you feel, where your values lie, or something meaningful or important in your life. Not talking about the stupid tramp stamps or arm bands.

Reread the last sentence in his post for the most likely answer.

Sorry, I should have been more clear, I’m guessing SP is white(I assume everyone is white, call me racist, until I can confirm otherwise, but based on his post about tattoos, that’s what I assumed), I mean if a white dude got a swastika tattoo.

I don’t have any tattoos as it never appealed to me, but I get your point. However…if you were a Polish Jew in 1940 and happened to have tats of the Swastika & Blut und Boden (Blood and Soil) I don’t that would save you from the SS placing you in an extermination camp. Those tats wouldn’t make you a member of the Nazi party. It would just be a reflection that you are a crazy self-hating Jew.

Not dealing with tattoos, but that got me thinking if any Jews did help the Nazis, and seems like quite a few did!
