Yes, 'the hypocrisy is over the top' -- "Kamala Harris is responsible for overseeing 1,956 misdemeanor and felony convictions for people who possessed, cultivated or sold marijuana.
Mosaic of Kamala made out of all the Black men she locked up and kept in prison past their release date for cheap prison labor." (mosaic available here -- https://x.com/Pismo_B/status/1738295894490145010)
I'm very much aware, and 70% of Idaho inmates are in for non violent drug related offenses with many on work release at the chicken processing plant out there... or leased to out of state for profit prisons... so spare me citing Democrat hypocrisy when Idaho is every bit the same slaver state.
Ironically, not one voter democratically elected Kamala to be the Democrat presidential nominee in 2024 -- yet Democrat crybullies are somehow now crying, "we must save our democracy eh?
Same could be said for Bernie in 2016 and 2020 (as well as Tulsi in 2020)
Cheers for the compliment -- yet I must recuse as I can only dream of being learned enough to somehow end up being 'pedantic' without even trying.
Meanwhile, isn't the issue 'choosing a candidate of their choice' per Deborah H -- doesn't that issue go far beyond Idaho. It goes for everywhere including Idaho and nationwide which has perhaps even a greater downstream effect on Idaho. And where has the outcry when there was no democratic choice for the Democrat candidate in 2024 (not to mention 2016 & 2020) ... yet crybullies are now curiously obstreperous about 'losing our democracy'. Kindly address that if they wish people to continue listening -- otherwise, it's simply Hypocrisy Unlimited, isn't it?
And icymi Mr. Graf is the one who "wants to blame Californian Expats for the 'troubles' of Idaho" -- kinda the premise of his whole misguided article ace. ✌
Now, it appears that most laws are passed only to appease the noisy IFF extremists and their billionaire supporters.
If we’re going to be too lazy to vote the extremists out in the primaries, then we have only ourselves to blame. Come every election cycle, we see more and more decent legislators voted out, and more of the extremists taking up space and gumming up the works.
A healthy democracy REQUIRES our participation. Get going, folks!
Hmm, where was the outcry for 'A healthy democracy REQUIRES our participation' in 2024 when not one single person voted for Kamala to be the Democrat presidential nominee? Where was the outcry on lack of participation then (similar could be said about Bernie in 2016 & 2020). Where was a 'healthy democracy' in the Democrat primary (sidenote: the USA is a representative republic and not a democracy)
As you know, the 2024 election was unusual. The primaries were over by the time President Biden dropped out. His exit freed his delegates from their pledge to vote for him at the convention. Biden’s endorsement of Harris secured his former delegates as well as Jason Palmer’s when he dropped out. The number of delegates went well beyond the majority of candidates needed to secure the nomination. There was no outcry because the process was done legally and the outcome was acceptable to the Democrats who voted for President Biden in the primary.
I’m not sure what to make of the Bernie Sanders reference. He ran in both primaries, but lost to the more popular candidate.
As an aside, I am aware that the United States is a representative democracy (also referred to as a democratic republic) I chose to use democracy in its stead because that term is more familiar with people.
Geez, the lengths people go to justify being disenfranchised.
Biden was forced to drop out at that precise time because it offered no chance for anyone but his installed replacement, don’t you see?
It was rigged friend as are Democrat primaries not to mention general elections. Do you really imagine lying, cheating, plagiarizing, racist, unpopular, career politician Biden was the most popular of all in 2020? The mindless bloke who along with Billary was behind the racist 1994 crime bill? What's done more harm to People of Color?
Gregory asks in the opening paragraph “now, years later, you’re still mad?”
To answer the question, a resounding YES. In case he missed it, millions died for something that was MANMADE and came from a gain-of-function bioengineering lab -- i.e. IT NEVER HAD TO BE. Society never had to go through this if not for the likes of Fauci et al yet curiously, that is not the current primary focus -- the perpetrators are escaping accountability. And the many people who lost loved ones, jobs, businesses, generational wealth, acquaintances who committed suicide from isolation and social, economic and other life stresses, children's education regressed amongst endless suffering — all should still be questioning this as it emerged from a HUMAN MADE virus that reaped worldwide devastation. Many people have not forgotten this Mr. Graf.
Meanwhile, throughout it all the wealthiest increased their wealth by 40% and the poorest decreased theirs by the same margin. Box store chain stores, e.g., Walmart, were allowed to stay open while mom and pop shops closed down, many for good -- the aftereffects of which will ripple unto eternity.
It's anything but forgotten, particularly to those who suffered and lost loved ones during that time. Even now ICYMI people are STILL wearing masks (germ reservoirs) and pregnant women are targeted in legacy and social media for a 'covid booster' (and for which variant is this promoted, untested booster for PREGNANT WOMEN even concocted???). Perhaps the most grievous ongoing crime of all, covid shots are on the infant vaxx schedule🤬-- Crimes Against Children ongoing.
To even hint that the devastating pLandemic and the death and destruction that went with it is in the past, over and done, and should be dutifully forgotten by those affected is unimaginable and quite ignorant if you don't mind my saying. (yes, pLandemic -- see
It's all out there hiding in plain sight for those with eyes to see. If nothing else (and there’s much else) it was a horrific and deadly exposé of government (including the World Health Organization of the United Nations) and Big Pharma malfeasance, overreach and deception with deathly consequences.
At any rate, Graf starts off with an opening line, "Imagine getting so frustrated with mask rules in a California grocery store that you pack up and flee to Idaho — where almost no one enforced those mandates, to begin with".
His preliminary premise is entirely wrong. Unless Graf actually imagines that people fled Crazyfornia because of 'grocery story mask mandates' -- even still the mandates were largely followed outside of CA, too, everywhere really, including southwestern Idaho — even in Nampa where I would go shopping virtually everyone dutifully wore a (soiled, infectious) mask except for me -- it was glaringly obvious to anyone who lived through that period here.
Meanwhile, even minimal research into the fall of California would reveal why people are 'fleeing' including off of the top of my head — it has become a one-party state, and that one party is trending farther and farther Left (with rigged elections to boot if you might consider it).
Look no further than California's burdensome rules and regulations and ever increasing tax rates as well as over-crowdedness, crime, dirtiness, unfriendliness and high fuel costs, too The state is continually drought-ridden due to one-party mis-management as waters flow into the ocean while people and farms suffer for lack of water. Billions of dollars have been grafted by corrupt players for boondoggles such as a 'high-speed' rail that never materializes and other 'green-energy' boondoggles that actually harm the environment including solar and windmill farms, and electric vehicles. Crime and homelessness are off the charts particularly in California's cities. People from all over the globe including many who showed up without visas are provided a welcome mat as well as health care, education, even home loans if not outright grants while residents suffer. Many of the newcomers gain access to welfare and are provided advantages not available to the bewildered residents footing the bill -- actually footing the deepening deficit.
Is the author unaware that businesses are moving out of California, too, if not closing down entirely? The people and businesses are fed up, sick and tired of a former paradise that has fallen due to policies that don't serve the people and business community which is the lifeblood of society. They have grown tired of malfeasance, malfunction and corruption and mostly paying for their own destruction and with no end in sight.
The SECOND item in the first paragraph of Graf's thesis is about rejecting Trump's Operation Warp Speed. This argument is also completely flipped on its head -- the reality of it is the precise opposite of the point Graf intended to make.
In fact, people on the Left were claiming vociferously that they would never take a vaccine from Trump — virtually the whole Left from politicians most notably Kamala and other famous people were all decrying it and the mindless foot soldiers fell in line with their leaders. Yet, they all then completely flipped on a dime when Biden was installed -- same exact rushed, untested vaxxes, just a different guy, a different face to push them.
Meantime, those who were skeptical remained as skeptical with Trump as well as Biden particularly because it was an extremely hastily developed vaxx by less than trustworthy Big Pharma with flagrant conflicts of interests (along with criminal track records).
Where did the once admirable anti-establishment Left disappear to since at least 2020 (and before when Obama expanded Dubya's illicit bombing of 2 faraway countries to 7 -- bombing mostly People of Color -- dead silence as he buried the future in bombs and debt)?
And again, it's for a HUMANMADE virus that the Big Pharma shots were too hastily concocted -- and some of the same players involved in creating the virus would also profit off of the making of the vaxxes, too. At the same time, no other treatments were allowed (and if they had been, an Emergency Use Authorization for the vaxxes would have completely fallen apart -- a glaring conflict of interest in the vaxx profiteers favor of course). All the while, the voices that were not parroting the government narrative including Nobel Laureate Luc Montagnier were censored and muzzled. Who wouldn’t be skeptical when observing all that suspicious activity and more?
At any rate, Graf's first two premises in the initial paragraph are egregiously misguided by my estimation -- therefore, as for the rest of the article, I'm out.
Hopefully, other people might see through some of this on their own, too.
I find it funny that some people still can’t see the flip flopping that democrats do when the rules don’t come from them. Nobody can take my medical freedom away. The vaccine has caused cancer and here you are spewing that people unvaxxed are a threat to cancer patients. Oh the irony
Grew up Ranching/ Farming in Idaho, Been a Registered Republican all along, Especially important from 2011 to Present, Being REGISTERED REPUBLICAN Give's you the ability to TRY, to CULL the HERD Before November comes.

IF you Don't FIGHT OPPRESSION IT WILL "DEVOUR US ALL" ! Same with this "BILL" !
I appreciate your comments. Would such sentiments push you to vote for a candidate in Idaho labeled as a Democrat in the general, if it was between the crazy who won in the wimpy primary and a reasonable dem? This is what I faced.
The hypocrisy is over the top...
You can't make me wear a mask or take the vaxx, but screw you if you need cannabis to live.

Kill the 2011 fiasco and let truly ‘Independent’ voters choose the candidate of their choice and not someone that IFF is ‘over the Moon’ about.
