Possibly, the Spanish did own the territory prior to the US. Maybe some great, great, great, great, grandpa abandons his work as a missionary and fell in love with a native woman, we just don’t know. If he was not Latino probably not.

There were no Spanish in humboldt while it was Spanish or Mexican territory. Humboldt bay wasn’t discovered by whites until 12 years after California became part of US

Only if they are pregnant. The paperwork for a child that has crossed the border is a nightmare. Plus it saves money on the Biden border redeye flights they been talk in bout on Fox news. One seat instead of two.

Speaking of crimes…it’s pretty near criminal, laughable hypocrisy to whine about Biden’s purported crimes even as you tolerate or even embrace Trump’s TREASON, lies, and crimes. Or do you want to lock Trumpie up TOO?

Try to contain your chronic TDS and not straw man the crimes Biden is perpetrating on the American public…

Personally, I never embrace treason, lies and crimes. I leave that department up to you and your ilk…

Congress wasted $$$ Hundreds of Millions of tax payer dollars with partisan investigation about crimes and behavior that never occurred. 93% of what you saw on the lame stream media about Trump were lies and or misrepresentations…Our biased and corrupt media is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the democrat party…You drank their kool aid.

Simply put, I would LOVE to forget Trump but he’s still spouting treasonous lies and his gullible constituency is still swallowing them and slobbering all over it. Apparently, they want Trump to try and overcome his one-term presidency in spite of his treason, lies, incompetence, and turpitude.
Point being, those living in the Trump glass house of said treason, lies, turpitude, and utter incompetence look hypocritical to the point of being silly when they throw any rock they can find to blame Biden and “librulls” for all of America’s ills.
What’s more, when Trump supporters scream MAGA even as they attack the capitol and embrace Trump’s treason, they are false patriots and AINO Americans, Americans in name only.
I wrote a longer response but I trimmed it down to this, you can ignore the other one.

Oh joe you are silly. Trump was the only president in recent history to do as he said he would when running. If you think this current bumbling criminal that was manipulated into office is anything other than ridiculous. You are the root of the problem. Wake up. Set down the pipe. Vote red. It will change starting mid term

“The root of the problem” to you is mainstream America and democracy. In your fervor to ram your selfish hard right minority agenda down the majority of America’s throat it appears you are willing to attack the very roots of American democracy and are comfortable with treason.
MAGA to you means make America to your hard right fringe view and ignore the rest of the American majority, to be comfortable with bumbling criminal Trump’s cast of bumbling clowns attempting to overthrow America’s fair election and democracy. Right now Rudy Goofyuiliani is shaking in his boots and gone off the radar like a dead mouse as he is fending off lawsuits and charges stemming from his election lies for Trump. For that matter, Trump’s WHOLE crazy bumbling legal team from that time is in trouble for their part in Treasonous Trump’s election fraud.
Your hard fringe minority MAGA world is built on a foundation of Trump treason and lies is the very antithesis of democracy and fair elections. Downright un-American, and it is laughable to watch you mimic Trump and point your finger even as the egg is all over your face.

Just because right wingers abandoned all morals, ethics, and respect for the law in their love for treasonous Trump and his treasonous lies, crimes, insults and attacks as a one term prez, they think EVERYBODY loves criminals like they do!
No, not everyone worships criminals like Trump as role models, you have been terribly misled!

Forget Trump…He left a year ago. Chronic TDS is detrimental to one’s health… The wave of crime and violence for the last year is in blue states where democrats have abandoned all moral, respect and ethics…They’ve turned California into a cess pool and third world country and we’re also on a race to the ethical and moral bottom compliments of the democrats in Sacramento. Conservatives are watching the left destroy America and our values.

Conservatives tossed off all their morals, ethics, values, and patriotism like yesterday’s dirty clothes so they could dance naked in Trump’s turpitude.
I would LOVE to forget Trump, but he still LYING about his treasonous attempt to steal the election in an attempt to run and get rid of his single term record and get some legal immunity for his other crimes, and and incredibly his supporters want America to FORGET his attack and treason against American democracy. They have gone so far as to threaten the Jan 6 committee with retaliation.
Speaking of immunity, are you aware that covid has been rampaging and causing all kinds of issues, including rising crime rates, and that these started during Trump’s reign? Are you aware that Trump was responsible for the largest gain in national debt during a growth economy in America’s history? Are you aware that Trump was firmly in office when China overtook the US as the largest economy?
My point from the beginning is that Trump is the biggest liar America has had as president and coupled with his other financial, moral, and ethical crimes he is a veritable septic tank of turpidity, yet his supporters swallow his fetid stench of lemonade lies every day and LOVE him for it. Yet you blame Biden for anything you possibly can, “librulls” for anything and everything bad about America.
Bottom line, what you say sounds like pure hypocrisy, which is why I felt compelled to call you on it. Trump supporters screamed MAGA GOO-GOO even as they screamed “hang Pence” and stormed the capitol in a historical insurrection attempt.
Trump’s hypocritical supporters are false patriots. Not RINOS, but AINO Americans, Americans In Name Only.

Nothing you posted can be verified and are merely partisan fabrications…President Trump accomplished more that the last 10 presidents combined and stopped democrats from outsourcing the rest of our jobs to Communist China…Here are a few various web sites to explore the list of Trump’s many accomplishments as POTUS. You can’t refute the facts…

WOW, that seems like a LOT! Around a gram a WEEK? NO WONDER they look miserable!
I tried a line of that sh*t 35 years ago as a teen, was awake for 24, miserable for 72 hours. Apparently no tolerance for it, guess I was lucky.
I have seen people who became addicted and it pretty much ruined their lives, every one.

His expression pretty much symbolizes the life of ANYBODY involved with Meth. Seriously bad poopoo, and tweakers are sorta like night of the living dead on crank. Sad.
