The Central Valley is California's Florida.

Remember when Jackson and his pet banks destroyed the economy? Or when he streamlined and solidified the modern bipartisan lockdown, because plebs are easier to control when you restrict them to two choices and crank up the 'us versus them'?

^ What's happening on various fronts in the US is pretty depressing, and I suspect is being under-reported. The mainstrean media has the bad habit, imo, of chasing after every one of Trump's immoderate tweets or empty pronouncements like a gaggle of squawking chickens after a handful of grain. I think we've established by now that Trump is a lying blowhard, so isn't it time to hear more about what's actually happening in the US instead?

What ICE is doing, that controvertial pipeline, progress on wall construction are a couple of issues we don't hear much about. I wonder about the gutting of the EPA, the lack of ambassadors and other officials too. I'm surprised we're not hearing more about the effects of these shortfalls, etc.

Apparently there's a horsefucker on the loose in our region.

Disgusting
