... this appt. and the appt. of @AGBecerra who looked the other way while @JerryBrownGov pardoned a "former cocaine trafficker".

Newsom is a show. He does some of the moves which make him seem progressive but ... he was married to Kimberly Trump Jr. now a billionaire's daughter

Newsom just told Black people what he thinks of @SenKamalaHarris legacy.

This is exactly how Black people are frosted out of the process. The powerful do it with a smile on their face, and they wonder why African (Americans) brought here 400 years ago in chains are upset?

Every crooked politicians up and down the State of California got on their high horse and told @GavinNewsom what should happen, OR ELSE. And he did it.

Guys like @SupervisorAlejo, who is @AGBecerra buddy, a guy I cannot get to open an investigation on Alejo for his bribe
4/

taking - now, I wonder why?

The @FBI has taken the allegations seriously. The local DA reluctantly is taking it seriously - but Louie Alejo was proposing - Alex Padilla, Kevin de León and Xavier Becerra for the US Senate seat.

Fucking embarrassing.

Welcome to third world politics where corruption is rewarded & the corrupt voices are heard before The People - by Governors like @GavinNewsom @CAgovernor.

Yup. Royal Calkins is correct here. All the crap the local media dumped on Christian Schneider is because he was getting "home-town'd". Schneider is the consultant who is driving many of the #corruption probes, unlike anything I've seen before, in #MontereyCounty. Image

Dan Miller is former Sheriff Scott Miller's brother. He is right about one thing, the Bernal - Miller campaign was the dirtiest campaign in MoCo in my memory. Outrageously so.

Brandon Gesicki and Plasha Will were the two moving heaven and earth to get a deputy elected.
3/ The Gesicki / Will combo is especially odd because Brandon Gesicki typically only works for Republicans.

Plasha Will, @RepJimmyPanetta's consultant will work with anyone who pays her.

The @mcweekly loves to jab Gesicki while leaving Plasha Will in a protective bubble.

Why? Image

The state of #journalism in Monterey County.

Wine lobbyist tweets out mystery tweet.

Managing editor of @mcweekly, forever on the lookout for #breakingnews quickly responds.

Meanwhile MoCo is saturated with BRIBE taking politicians and dirty businessmen who are ...
Robbing the community while killing newspapers.

Does that sound extreme?

This is a town billionaire telling @Gannett Salinas Cal. @salnews, he doesn't much care for the news ... BUT when he does, it better be sweet to him.

It was public relations. That's the key news that dominates the interests of MoCo intelligencia while Rome burned.

Coming to 420 the government is revealing itself as the burdensome corrupt mafia it has become. Marijuana, a plant.

.@bradleyzeve has a bias, why?

"Thus far, the rest of the Monterey County press corps has declined to take on this topic, partly because of tensions between the local media & Schneider while he was running Bernal’s successful sheriff’s campaign in 2014." voicesofmontereybay.org/2020/12/12/sta…
2/

The @mcweekly has no business withholding important news from the community they serve because they are butt-hurt over a political consultant who ran a campaign for @SheriffBernal (a guy @bradleyzeve has gone soft on because of his weird relationship with Armanasco & Panetta)
3/

But even the claim that it's "hurt butts" causing local, dilapidated print journalism, like the @mcweekly, @MontereyHerald and @salnews to ignore the illegal and consequential conduct of Steve Bernal following his 2014 Sheriff's race win.

It isn't.

If anyone would be holding a grudge against Schneider it shouldn't be *what's left of* local print journalists, *they* weren't threatened by rogue cops - with death. Schneider didn't threaten to kill anyone, he's a campaign consultant. He behaves exactly like Plasha Will
3/

without all of Plasha Will's lawbreaking. (Believe me if I had found something juicy about CS when he ran Bernal's 2012-2014 campaign, I would have yelled about it from a variety of marketing platforms)

What Schneider is doing in filing 11-12 @CA_FPPC community complaints -
