Santa Clarita…the new South LA of California.
Just wait, as Liberals & Gas-Con keep degenerating our areas, the crimes will go even more Berserk and So. Cal. will be like Seattle to LA, Chicago, Baltimore, Minneapolis, Kenosha, Philadelphia, Detroit, NY, etc.! Thanks demonic Liberals———
You are so very welcome. We also can educate your ignorant hate-filled mind. You need something else to do; maybe a girlfriend,or a boyfriend if you’d rather. A dog? Naw, you’d abuse that too.
Denny the Communist Excuser: Normal hate should come from decent humans who Love America and are disgusted the way the Liberals are ruining America! You never tell the truth/facts of above comments excused & degenerated by Liberal administrations and your ilk!! What’s your condoning/deprived allowing answers?! You want Anarchy and chaos, but Normal Patriotic Americans don’t!!
Just ignore Denny like the rest of us do. It’s like when a neighbor has an annoying little dog that’s yapping all the time, or when a skunk gets hit by a car and makes an awful stench- there’s nothing you can do about it but grit your teeth and drive on.
Sounds like you’re a right-minded person, Bustos- please be sure to get your signature in for the Gavin Newsom recall campaign and keep watching for the signature drive to start up to recall Gascon.
Keep the faith.
Calling ‘Bustos’ or whatever pseudo-name he’s using today a right-minded person has me rolling on the floor laughing at you like the rest of us are. Thanks, that was the funniest thing since they rolled in the golden Trump statue in Orlando.
Denny: Lucifer is also rolling on the embers laughing and waiting for you!
You’re just going to have to wait… and wait… Got it?
Thanks, likewise. Signed the Newsom recall last Oct. & eagerly waiting till 3/7/21 for Gas-Con! Do the deceitful Liberals really realize what they’re doing to our country?! They may like living in area code 666, we don’t!
