The Slut Kamala Harris…AKA former squeeze of Willy Brown so sullies the US Senate Chamber…Clorox will have to
triple it’s production to purge the US Senate Chamber ..once the slut is in prison for the tolling case of her criminal complicity with Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia his fellow
travelers..exposed. by,among other hard evidence in the hands
of US Attorney ..the uncontrovirdible evidence provided by the
Highly Credible Jim Mc Donnell,,then Long Beach Police Chief
now LA County Sherriff.
The slut of course was rebuked by the Bi Partsen Panel of US
9th Circuit..for the EPIDEMIC OF CORRUPTION throughout
California…an Epidemic still unchecked.
As for the highly credible Governor Brown,,,his major task at this point is to oversee the dismantling of the California
Coastal Commission…which has become a travking circus of
Buffonery,Corruption,he with the far from dry dream of
organizing the CC into a labor unit,,with himself as Shop
Stewart ..( Fellow traveler of the Criminally Complicty
Robert Garcia).
Eric Garcetti …in the view of this ardent GOP member since
high school days when cadird for Ray C. Bliss…and who
standard by which all elected measured is the late Margret
Chase Smith….would make an oustading US President..
having followed his political career from day one. He is
underlined,overlined and encompassed by integrity.
Diannne Feinstein : The embodiment of integrity…and
patience having to serve along side of the SLUT HARRIS…
so odious that..even would not only Harvey Weinstein give her
a wide berth…but Mat Lauer would install a button under his
deck…to LOCK HER OUT of HIS OFFICE…(As he would for
the LA County DA…Jackie Lacey..so inept ..she can barely
lace up her own shoes..let alone criminal cases..both Harris &
Lacey are simply to stupid….and would probably be run off the
Hollywood Walk Of Fame by the “ Ladies of the Evening
HUGH GRANT was searching for a number of years ago.
