Has Alabama Senator ever actually been to Alabama or LA?
At least Californians family tress have branches
Lol Alabama family trees are more like telephone poles
People in ramshackle hovels shouldn't throw stones.
anarchists are in charge
Anarchists.
In charge.
Roll that around in your mind a bit.
As an anarchist, the only thing I want to be in charge of is my morning piss and my after coffee shit.
Anarchist: steals the throne and adds it as just another seat around the table where everyone's voices matter

I’ve been to both states, and California comes waaaaaaaay out on top. Alabama is a rural shithole.
My cousin lives in Alabama and she's the best lay I've ever had.

California is the 4th largest economy in the world independently.
Without California participating in the US, China is the leader of the world economy.
At this point I dont think anyone could fault California for taking their ball and going home. God knows the western half of the country would probably go with them, solving any potential water issues.
It feels like were headed for civil war 2.0
The western half should join Canada.

And the Republic of ｒａｃｉｓｍ

Stick to football, bro.
Having seen Tuberville as a college football coach, that’s a hard no. Tommy is an idiot and an asshole.
One of the handful of US states who’s unofficial motto is, unironically, “Thank God for Mississippi” really has no room to pass judgement on any state not named Mississippi.

Alabama talking shit about Cali is hilarious, ranked the 5th worse state here for good reasons https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings?region=AL%2CCA
Not to dissuade anyone from thinking that California is a much better state than Alabama; but those rankings are terrible. Florida ranked #2 best state in education, #1 in economy, and #13th in crime? Yeah, that's not biased at all USNews.
Lol, I appreciate you giving a more thoughtful eye than I did.
Alabama calling another state a third world country is highly amusing

Tried to search for "Alabama third world." Seems the UN investigated that a few years ago.

I have even worse news. The money allotted to fix that sewage problem was considered DEI, and taken back.
The US as a whole is a third world country. Low average income, nearly non-existent health insurance, incredibly bad education (system), high wealth gap, fascism, insanely bad labor laws, the list goes on and on...

Gavin has stepped up.
I never thought they'd manage to make Gavin Newsom of all people look decent, but that's just what happens when you live in the Dumbest Timeline™️ I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
He's an opportunist. I like what he's doing rn, but not the man or the reasons he's doing it.
Fucking Silicon Valley is in California. Alabama has ...? Extreme poverty? Did the Alabama senator die of dramatic irony?
It's Tubervillian, he's a complete moron and just an evil asshole in general.
Also, the protests were only on one block. Anything they say to try and make them seem city wide is bad faith from the start.

North and South reloaded. Clash of cultures and mindsets within one country. Well… 🤷🏼♂️
Its depressing that this is considered newsworthy, and not utterly embarrassing for both parties involved to resort to middle school one-upping.
Don’t you fucking dare try to “both sides” this shit.
One side is eagerly throating fascisms cock, the other isn’t - regardless of any other flaws, there’s a clear difference.
Your ignorant, no critical thinking applied parroting of a stupid inaccurate phrase hurts all of us. Be better or don’t speak at all.
You know, like two months ago everyone was crying that Democrats don’t do enough fighting back against Republicans and your comment has me thinking “well this is why they didn’t.”
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
People always say don't sink to their level but the problem is you need to communicate with people at their level in a way they understand.
Making headlines by having the equivalent of a twitter fight does nothing to prevent harm. You know what would? Newsom ordering the national guard to return to base and reminding them that they will be prosecuted under state law for following unlawful orders.
Why not both? I imagine he’d considered that already and probably found that it wouldn’t pan out but we don’t exactly know that.
Don’t throw stones if you live in a garbage house 🤷🏻♀️ not a hard concept
Politicians keyboard warrioring over Twitter was not on my bingo card
