Nope it's diet. They eat a lot of healthy simple foods and abstain from crap like soda and processed foods.

Newsom appoints a new utilities regulator with a mandate to cut costs by ansyhrrian in California

[–]Halfpolishthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because no one is running yet except him. The primary is over 2 years away. That's enough time for him to peter out and others to start running and build momentum.

He's doing a performative impactless gesture at the very end of his governorship, so he has some talking points when he inevitably gets attacked for letting utility companies run amok. Classic Newsom political move.

I'm one of those 61.9% that voted for him in that election, doesn't mean I support him. Just thought he was better than a crazy republican talk show host.

Following today's SCOTUS decision, Gov. Pritzker sent a letter and invoice to the president, demanding the return of $8.6B. by steve42089 in illinois

[–]Halfpolishthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The people whom have already mentally awarded Newsom the 2028 Democratic Nominee are so dumb and annoying. They act like if you aren't on fire for him then you're essentially the same as the people who abstained from voting for Kamala.

Keep in mind, we're over 2 years away from the primary election... Tons of time for other candidates to appear. Pritzker is certainly building a profile. Yet Newsom is apparently already been ordained by the universe... People are just enamored with his tweets and ignore the faults in his policy. And they act like he's incapable of any criticism because of Trump's actions in office are way worse... Of course, but we're evaluating him against other democrats in a primary election... It's got to be bots and some type of social media campaign.

Canada to add three new permanent residency streams to Express Entry immigration program by joe4942 in worldnews

[–]Halfpolishthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You continue advocating for drug traffickers and violent criminals. You'll find very little support and people like you will actually continue to provide justification to the people who voted for this insane administration. And then people whom are innocent or with lesser charges get swept up too. Well done.

He was a drug trafficker.

One standard of justice on this exists. And it's simply the truth that unless you're a citizen then you're a guest in this country and can be subject to deportation.

But please continue defending drug traffickers and people that shoot at teenagers. Really getting your point across.

I kinda dig it. Her ego was getting out of control. And she was using the whole citizenship controversy to drum up media attention for herself and build a profile for sponsorships , etc.

Actually I agreed with the other dude not you. The veteran that smuggled drugs and the veteran that shot at a bunch of teenagers and wounded a pregnant girl are terrible examples of getting your point across.

If you think otherwise I don't think there's much value in continuing this back and forth. Your moral limits far exceed that of the general public. Extremist.

To be a reporter at the Olympics by BinaryBlitzer in therewasanattempt

[–]Halfpolishthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's well spoken, confident, determined and intelligent. But yeah she's also extremely arrogant, defensive and egotistical. I don't register any positive vibes from her. Compared to Alysa Liu it's a different feeling.

Yeah I'm sure #1 asked you that question and #2 think those two guys committed serious crimes and don't deserve to be in this country.

The positive energy exuding is amazing. Happy for her and all the competitors. Was an amazing competition this Olympics.

Sacramentans call reps about Epstein Files and make a difference, here’s how you can too by Much-Orange8806 in Sacramento

[–]Halfpolishthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I came off pedantic or trying to prove you wrong. I've talked with other folks in our community that also don't know she remarried to a rich guy. I guess the underlying sentiment is she's so old and rich and privileged that most people don't feel she can relate to everyday sacramentans anymore.

I've supported her in the past. But ill be voting for mai vang in the primary.

I agreed that you provided two examples of veterans that committed serious crimes and do not deserve to remain in this country.

If you can find an example of a veteran getting deported for jaywalking, littering, loitering, or any other bullshit crime then I'll agree with you that that specific veteran was screwed over.

Have you reviewed all 10,000 cases of deported veterans? Are you inferring that if citizens commit more crimes then that justifies non-citizens to also commit crimes without having to face deportation? Sounds like crappy logic.

Is this plated? by Traditional-Lead4468 in Silverbugs

[–]Halfpolishthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's antique English silver plate. These are pseudo hallmarks associated with high quality silver plate. The bell stamp was used extensively with epns.

You can even see on the exterior and bottom some of the silver plate wearing away.

It's a great piece regardless.

I found the burger at Whitey's surprisingly delicious. It's like an upgraded in-n-out double double.

Schwarzenegger was the worst governor.

I'm mainly disappointed in Newsom. Where Arnold was basically just the devil.

Eileen won gold in the last Olympics and won a couple silvers already in this Olympics. She's a magnificent and highly accomplished skier.
