This made me wonder:
“Why would the GOP want to allow the U.S. to default on it’s debts?”.
“Why would they deliberately want to screw the American people?”
“Why would the GOP feel the need to stop federal employees, Medicare and SSA recipients payments?”.

In 2020, this article came out about this very subject. I kept it. It was interesting as to what would happen, but the real question is why would they want to do it?
2/
If we defaulted on our debt, especially in 2020, when TFG was in office and created a $23.7 Trillion dollar debt, the question came back again.
My Q is: “Why did the GOP allow it? Was this planned in case of a Democratic president? Was this part of a long-term plan ?
3/
Would the GOP feel it is necessary to create news around a debt default to screw with the markets, create chaos at banking/treasury, stop payments to Social Security and Medicare recipients, fuck with the stock market just because they don’t want infrastructure to go forward?
4/
Would it be possible that they don’t want regulations because they know they will be caught with illegal activity? Will they go as far as to create a recession as in 2008? Remember in 2013?
5/
In all cases prior to this, the GOP backed down and raised the ceiling. Would this mean that the GOP is tired of raising revenue on billionaires? Raising revenue is the best way to reduce debt. Something every Democratic President has done.
6/
Will the GOP bankrupt our nation because they don’t want good roads, fair taxes and democratic voting rights? Will they continue to whittle away the rights of women and minorities because they are losing control?
7/
Will the debt ceiling be the line in the sand for Republicans because they believe that will help them at the polls?
These are the questions that should be asked. However, the media is using chaos and scare tactics to tell this tale.

We have to look at other ways in which to get our answers. This isn’t the only article that explains why it may not happen. Good or bad, there are answers to this.
The media is pushing scary ideas for clicks and grins.
9/
We have to blame all of it. Everything on 4 years of TFG and his cabinet. They all got rich. That was the expectation. Learn our secrets….that was the other.
I still have faith (like my bio says). My glass is half full and will stay there on this story.
If you’re interested.
Is all this talk just a way to make money on the downturn of the markets? Is that the real story or does this help push the narrative that helps China and Japan (which holds most of our debt)? When will these questions be asked?

The one story not told about the Recall Election in CA was that it was so tough to find volunteers who could help.
I did, and we had to work hard to find more to help us.

THREAD
Part of the problem was rising cases in Shasta County of COVID and those individuals who were unvaccinated. We are a GOP stronghold, MAGA here, so there are a lot. I was concerned and so was my husband, but he knew I would wear a mask and be careful.
2.
As the Poll Inspector, I was in charge of making sure everyone else was doing the right thing as well. Masks were requested, but not mandated. Out of the 200 plus people who came in to cast or drop off a vote….probably 30% were masked.
That put an additional strain on us.

Once again, the @latimes is pushing these theories, like other rags across the country.
What most people don’t know is that at the polls, we got more questions asked about write in candidates because no one knew who Larry Elder was.
#FunFactsByAPollWorker
You know how hard it is for white MAGA’s to look someone in the eye and tell them they want to vote for a black man? Really hard.
#1 question we got was who were the write in candidates they could vote for. We provided them the approved list.
#FunFactFromAPollWorker
White MAGA’s, even Latinos who identify as Republican came out to vote against Newsom,
The #2 question we were asked?
Will my vote count if I don’t vote for someone on the approved list of candidates?
Answer: Yes, your vote will still count

Instead of a long thread, I’ll just make a comment about a convo today with a friend at the golf course.
We caught up, chatted about politics in general and she told me her worries about the CA Recall election being full of fraud.
1/
I listened, then told her I was a Poll Inspector getting ready to go set up my precinct after leaving the course. She asked me the following:
1. Are voting machines really connected to the Internet?
A. NO
2/
2. How can I be sure fraud isn’t happening?
A. There are so many verifications and 2 person auditing at the precinct level first, then to the elections office, then to the State level, everything has a paper trail and verification by numerous people.

Charges were dropped in April. Schiller, Newsom’s brother-in-law is the SON of the co-founder of Boies Schiller Flexner. If there is domestic violence happening, Melissa Siebel should seek help.

WELP, it was bound to happen and it did.
THREAD
Today, the stats for Shasta County are as follows:
1/ Image
The largest variant detected in our county is the Delta Variant now.
Additional updates show that with are in a HIGH RED transmission area.
We have - 16,227 total cases, 234 total deaths, 131 new cases which is consistent here.
3/ Image
So, to my point.
My husband was notified on Sunday evening that he had to get tested for COVID. Evidently, someone who was vaccinated, tested positive in the office along with 10 others. A total of 14 are being quarantined until they test negative.

THREAD on the RECALL election in CA and comparisons to the RECALL election of Gray Davis in 2003. It’s important for context because of the media coverage that feels very negative for Newsom
THREAD
1/
Gray Davis, for those that remember, was Governor of CA from 1999-2003 and had a successful career in CA as a solid public servant. He won his election to governor with 57.9% of the total vote and the GOP candidate (Dan Lungren) received 34.8%.
Gray ran as a centrist Democrat.
2
Gray focused on schools and education which, at the time, was a big topic in CA (among other things). Gray was recalled with just 2 months left in his term of office.
And as y’all know, Schwarzenegger won the recall election with just ~960K votes more
