WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES FELLOW AMERICANS...THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHOULD SEIZE ALL TRUMP PROPERTIES SOLD ILLEGALLY TO RUSSIA HOODS TO GIVE TRUMP ILLEGAL FOREIGN CONTRIBUTIONS TO TAKE OVER AN AMERICAN ELECTION, AND THEN GIVE THEM TO THE HOMELESS AMERICAN VETERANS NOW IN CALIFORNIA, MANY WHO ARE COMING HERE FROM REPUBLICAN STATES THAT ARE DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THEM...OPINION CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS WHOLE TOME ARE BY SOME OF US RURAL CALIFORNIANS WHO TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO FOOL, WHILE THEY POISON OUR WATER AND AIR AND CLIMATE, AND TAKE AWAY OUR PAID FOR RIGHTS LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY, VETERANS' BENEFITS, MEDICARE, ETC. ETC. SOME OF US EDUCATED RURALS HAVE VALID OPINIONS TOO, AND LOGICAL SPECULATIONS, AND SOME POLITICAL PARADY, SARCASM, CYNICISM AND HUMOR WHEN NECESSARY LIKE WILL ROGERS DID... WITH SOME WIDE OPEN THOUGHTS TO JUXTIPOSE TRUTH AND FAKE TRUMP AND REPUBLICAN FOX TYPE NEWS(?) WITH THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR FORMER DEMOCRACY, THAT, LET'S FACE IT, IS BEING RAPIDLY ERODED BY THE CORPORATE REPUBLICANS (E.G. IN CALIFORNIA THE RICH REPUBLICANS ARE NOW TRYING TO GERRYMANDER CALIFORNIA BY CUTTING IT IN HALF. I THINK, WHAT THE RIGHT WINGERS SHOULD DO IS COOPERATE WITH ICE, AND NOT HIRE ILLEGALS, THAT IS FUNNY, BECAUSE THE RURAL COUNTIES RELY ON ILLEGALS THE MOST, TO BRING IN THE CROPS CHEAPLY [AND THIS IS PROBABILY THE REAL REASON THE REPUBLICAN FARM CORPORATIONS ARE TRYING TO SPLIT CALIFORNIA: THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY ANYONE WHAT THEY'RE REALLY WORTH, WHICH IN THE REAL PRESENT CALIFORNIA WILL GROW TO $15 AN HOUR, MINIMUM WAGE. SO THEY MAKE UP A BIG CAMPAIGN TO FOOL THE RURALS INTO THINKING THEY THEMSELVES ARE CHOOSING TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA FOR OTHER LOFTIER SOUNDING REASONS. JUST LIKE WHEN THEY TRY TO RECALL A DEMOCRAT FOR SOME SILLY REASON, LIKE TRYING TO GET OUT OF STATE TEXAS AND AMAZON TRUCKING COMPANIES TO PAY SOME GAS TAX FOR SOME OF OUR ROADS THEY ARE CHEWIING UP...THE MORAL? FOLLOW THE MONEY, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FOOL US RURALS SO EASILY] BY THE WAY, ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO HAVE STATEWIDE LICENSES WOULD NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PRACTICE IN SUCH A BIG AREA IF CALIFORNIA IS 2 STATES, SO DOCTORS WHO ARE ALWAYS NEEDED, WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRACTICE OR BE INSURED IN THE RURAL AREAS. THAT IS ASSUMING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE AN ADDITIONAL EXAM JUST TO PRACTICE IN THE POORER RURAL AREAS. MOREOVER, THE RURAL RANCHES ARE OWNED BY BIG CORPORATE REPUBLICANS AND WHEN THEY CONTROL AN AREA THERE GOES MINIMUM WAGES AND ALL WORKERS' RIGHTS, JUST LOOK AT THE IMPOVERISHED SOUTHERN STATES AND THEIR REPUBLICAN ABJECT POVERTY THERE...SO SAD. SO FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, UNLESS YOU'RE A BILLIONAIRE BACKING THIS PLAN, WE DON'T RECOMMEND A VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN CORPORATE CONTROLLED STATE..EVER, ALWAYS VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT UP AND DOWN THE TICKET AND ALWAYS VOTE, EVEN IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, WHEN THE REPUBLICANS DON'T THINK YOU WILL AND PLAN TO STEAL YOUR DEMOCRACY AWAY FROM YOU.) SO, EROSION OF DEMOCRACY IN WASHINGTON BY THE REPUBLICANS IS CONSTANTLY GOING ON. SO, WE LIKE TO POINT OUT THE BLACK HUMOR IN THISE NEWS, JUST LIKE THE 'ONION' DOES, IN THE INTERESTS OF WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IN WASHINGTON AND HIS FELLOW 1% REPUBLICANS.....WITH AN ULTIMATE GOAL OF GETTING FOLKS TO REALIZE THAT DARK AGES' THINKING IS WRONG AND REASON AND SCIENCE CAN CORRECT THE HUMAN BODY AND BODY POLITIC ,TO ALLOW US TO LIVE LONGER AND WITHSTAND THE ASSAULTS THAT CHANGING DISEASES AND PLANETARY CONDITIONS WILL INEVITIBLITY PLACE UPON US... THAT SCIENCE SHOULD NOT BE IMPEDED BY HUMAN GREED AND SUPERSTITION IN MAKING THE HUMAN [AND CRISPR IS REALLY LOOKING LIKE A GOOD AREA OF RESEARCH] AND POLITICAL BODY INVINCIBLE, AT LEAST, AS MUCH AS PRESENTLY POSSIBLE...
