The world’s worst highway, the 405. I hate this highway with a visceral hatred and a passion I used to reserve for America’s enemies.
It sucks the life out of you every moment you spend inching up the road toward the Sepulveda Pass on the way to LAX. It’s a slice of humanity you have to miss. I can’t wait to never drive it again!
This is what local accountability looks like:
In Festus, Missouri, a town of about 14,000 people, the city council quietly approved a $6 billion Ai data center to be built on 360 acres just north of Highway 67.
Residents say they were never properly heard. Meetings were held in private. Documents were released too late. A week after the approval, the town held a regular election. Voter turnout jumped 129 percent.
Every single council member who had voted yes lost in a landslide. A 70-year-old first-time candidate beat an 8-year incumbent by 40 percentage points.
Now a recall petition is circulating to remove the mayor as well. The lawsuit against the city is already filed.
Has your local government ever been held accountable like this? 🔥
Los Angeles resident must deal with this homeless person to get to his apartment
The police won’t do anything. The homeless man is allowed to make this doorway his home and spread his trash out everywhere
The LA resident begs for new leadership. The strong smell of urine is vomit inducing when you come across these people
Anyone who’s spent any time in Los Angeles knows LAPD won’t intervene with situations like this. They will literally let these people live here forever
Los Angeles has to vote Spencer Pratt
It is sad to see people actually thinking that Steve Hilton can win the governorship, or Spencer Pratt can win the mayoral election in Los Angeles.
They don't understand California politics.
Let me tell you two sad facts: neither thing can happen.
Joseph Stalin once said words to the effect that the people who vote don't determine elections. The people that count the votes determine elections.
But there's more than that in California, and Stalin would have been amazed if he had seen how this state has rigged elections.
If everyone in the state voted for Hilton, and everyone in LA voted for Pratt, both would still lose. You think I'm exaggerating?
Here's how Democrats have rigged the system. In California, every registered voter, alive or dead, legal or illegal, still in district or not, gets a ballot mailed to them. Every single one.
In CA, ballot harvesting is legal. Which means the massive Democrat machine sends operatives out to collect those ballots that were sent to people who aren't there, or senile citizens in old folk's homes, or anywhere else they can, and votes them for Democrats.
Then, they dump those ballots into the conveniently placed collection boxes that are all around the state, so the scammers don't have to go very far to drop them off. No need to actually pay for postage. Nope. Just drop them off.
Then there's the fact that any ballot received within seven days after an election gets counted. If the Democrats need a little push, they just put those pre-postmarked ballots into the post office box, and they get sent to arrive in time to change the election results.
The real problem is that there is no low-level Republican effort to rebuild Republican presence from the bottom up. The CA Republican party is a bunch of elite do-nothings who ask for money and then use that money for 'election events' like dinners, flights around everywhere, and pontifications. They're as big a bunch of grifters as Democrats are. They just have less power.
So before you all go "Rah Rah!!! We're going to win!!!" Realize that not only is the deck stacked against Republicans, but the order of the cards in the deck are already determined.
The winner of the California gubernatorial race will be whichever Democrat gets on the general election ballot. And the winner of the LA Mayor's race will be Karen Bass.
Not because the people voted for them. But because it's the Democrat machine that "counts the votes."
‘He stayed in a ritzy hotel!’ -ok cool
‘He’s a reality star!’ -ok whatev
‘He tried crystals!’ -so what
‘He’s a fascist!’ -lol wrong
I’d say Spencer must be doing pretty well if these are the worst attacks his opponents can come up with.
Spencer Pratt: I will clean up homeless encampments, address drug addicts, & prevent fires from burning down people's homes.
Karen Bass: I will spend your money on teeth for meth addicts.
Nithya Raman: I will ban grilling burgers in the backyard.
Your choice, Los Angeles.
How dare Spencer Pratt and his family stay in a hotel instead of an unsecured Jetstream trailer with no running water while unhinged leftists send him death threats.
Disqualifying.
Please vote for more drug needles, social workers, and less police.
So I am supposed to not vote for Pratt because he’s staying in a hotel while running for office ?
Yeah I guess I’ll just vote for the people that destroyed his home and my city
@spencerpratt Good for you! You should stay wherever you're comfortable. And you're running a campaign for mayor. Do people think you should run it in a trailer????
The problem with LA is that for every person who lost a home in the Palisades and is fired up and "ready to vote the bums out" — there are like 20,000 people who don't care at all about you or your house and will vote for the bums in exchange for like a free sandwich
So you know those LADWP transformers we all love to hate?
They're almost entirely due to EV charging requirements and natural gas bans (i.e. title 24).
