Most years Salinas is in the 20s or 30s and we only have 150k people, although last year we were in the single digits for the first time in a really long time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheSanDiegan Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 From CNN: Quote (CNN)President Donald Trump is expected to join his attorney Rudy Giuliani in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, where Republican state lawmakers are holding a "hearing" on allegations of fraud in this month's election, two sources familiar with the plans told CNN. Link So I guess every 160 years or so a bunch of out-of-town f*cktards have to go to Gettysburg or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanforHeisman Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Regardless, Giuliani has destroyed his legacy and will be remembered more for his bizarre behavior than he will be as mayor during 9/11 or his work on the Commission case. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Del Scorcho Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I laugh at the ridiculousness of the GOP's outlandish claims, and yet I'm currently watching the Curse of Oak Island and wonder if the tin can they found on the beach is evidence that Spanish Conquistadors visited Canada and buried treasure on a small island in Nova Scotia. TV has made us weirdly susceptible to all this nonsense 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oak Island doesn’t count. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
