Autocracy, and one party with all the power with all the votes from the poor homeless and disarray, a system that has been built up over time promising rewards of the system turning into lies and broken promises to end like a virus or plague taking over the host when to a point the host will be immobilized the plague having full control taxes rent inflation immigration disease genocide

For two years we in the Zenia area have been calling the county to fill pot holes. The Trinity road superintendent, the director of public works, the county supervisor, assemblyman Woods, Sen. Mike Maquire, and gov Browns office. All democrats, two years, no potholes filled. We do not need do nothing democrats appointed or elected. Trump is changing our country for the good, so many accomplishments, so many millions of jobs, unemployment in blacks and hispanics is all time low. North Korea is hopefully coming around. We want judges Trump will appoint, to preserve justice. Remember, democrats are the party of slavery, suppression, poverty, no growth, and unfair treatment of minorities in general. Look at this county, homeless everywhere, high taxes and nothing done for the people, just corruption, graft, good old boy network. And think about this, have our property taxes been lowered? We can’t grow pot for profit, the commie Calif government took that away from us. And, as a republican, you are not allowed to join the KKK. Only democrats are, even now, the only political party allowed to be Klaners.

There’s one in every crowd isn’t there.
But some crowds are consistently & notoriously composed of the many onesies collected.
Some crowds call the kkk their ‘military force’.
Now they’ve even added the ms13 to their military force.
But, let’s not point that out.
Justice for Seth Rich!

Kym, David Duke has many associations, but his first was the Democratic Party, the reform party of the U.S., the American Nazi Party, an then the Republican party. Stuber is correct, during its heyday you had to be a Democrat to join the KKK and they were politically very powerful. Their influence was such that they got Roosevelt to back off support of anti-lynching legislation when he first ran for the presidency. In 1988 Duke ran as a Democrat in the Presidential primaries. He’s not a Republican but a whatever direction the wind blows party. The founder of the Democratic party, Martin Van Buren, was a staunch anti-abolitionist as were all Democrats, but softened his views latter in life. The majority of votes for passage of the 1964 Civil Rights legislation were Republicans, as were Abe Lincoln and MLK. Never forget LBJ’s comment before he signed the bill “I’ll have those (N word) voting Democrat for the next 200 years”

Don’t paste Republican to this idiot. He will run on whatever party he can use. The vast majority of Republicans are not racist bigots.

You are right Kim, I meant to say in the 1800’s and early 1900’s. My main point is, why vote for democrats when they cannot even get potholes filled? And, again, I have called and written to all these people, nothing. For two years. The director of public works, Rick Tipett, makes $16,000 a month, and he never returns phone calls, nor does he respond with some premix to fill these holes. Some are now all the way across the road. The shear incompetence of these people is horrible. They must be replaced, hopefully with Trumpians, who do get things done.

Do you honestly believe party affiliation has anything to do with your unfilled pot holes?

Yes I do. The potholes have been reported for 2 years, all to democrats, no holes filled. The democrats’ over taxation, over regulation, has driven over 9000 businesses to leave Calif for lower taxes and less regulations. A nurse at UC Davis told me it took 10 years for the permit process to go through for the hospital. To the point that some parts of the hospital had to be redesigned because technology had passed the original design, costing the taxpayer millions. All democrat impediments, and for a hospital. Obviously, they must be replaced with good people who will lower taxes, deregulate, frack and drill, rid this state of illegals, and shut down stupid expensive and wasteful projects that help no one.
Or, Maxine Waters, a democrat, has been in congress for a long time. How many jobs has she brought into her district, how much has she helped the poor working class, are her schools working to a high level? Because although she has not helped anyone in her district get ahead, or become employed at a living wage job, Trump has. He has brought millions of jobs back to the US, and the people who live in her district are better off with what Trump has done in less than 2 years than she has her whole time in office. People do not leave family and friends and loyal employees to start over in another state if things are going well for them where they are. But when companies see other states offering much less in taxes, and that it doesn’t cost so much to run a business there, they are gone, and so are the thousands of dollars in tax revenue that used to be California’s. Democrats are not interested in helping the poor, the poor have no money, the democrats only help the wealthy, where they get their money.

Not a Dem or Rep, but just want good, honest people in office who do what’s best for the people and state/country. This is no better than our president pardoning convicted criminals because they will support and benefit him. Don’t know if this country will survive another 2 1/2 years.

Not a chance. Lathe Gill’s interview in the NCJ showed him to be the better candidate, one who would make an outstanding Judge for Humboldt County. His goal is justice, even for people without power. Gill is the real deal for justice in our community. (Check out his website.)

My understanding is no election on this judgeship until 2020 so at this point we should not worry in Trinity Co Eric’s judgments will tell what we as voters what we would like to see be Dem or what ever

Oroville Dam collapsed!! Where, to name but one shocks-the-conscious’ moves that CA INC’s in-charge guy, Moonbeam, utterly failed in the maintenance of that dam. He can appoint all he likes, they’re as phony as he in the Legal Matrix.

Jesus God, the gig is up.

Claims and racketeering will be promptly recognized as commercial war crimes.

Ah yes, Oroville. In 2006 the feds leaned on Cali to repair the spillway. The state’s response; work on the spillway will not be performed because it won’t be needed. (think global warming nonsense). OOOps Next up from the Sacramento miscreants, the MS 13 protection act. It wouldn’t surprise me.
