scape from ICE after a court case unsuccessfully. So I would say if they broke the law and it's an important law and they're going to make an example out of them so that other people don't think they can just protect illegal aliens, I would say that's not exactly too dictator-like because it's very narrowly aimed at people who broke actual laws. And it wasn't long ago that the Democrats were tryin…

And then once they get control of the House, which is a good possibility, then they can just block every other thing he wants to do. And then they could say he was a giant failure, but it would be because they made him fail. The press framed it that way and then the House had some control and maybe they just start a bunch of investigations and just basically break everything. There's a good chance that'll happen.
According to Just the News, California tried to pass a bill that would make it easier to get rid of squatters because right now in California if somebody squats in your property you really just can't get rid of them. I mean you can, but the process could take years and could be expensive, etc. So having a squatter is just the worst thing in the world in California. So there was some new legislation to make it easier to get rid of it and of course it failed. And it failed because they didn't want to increase more homeless.
So imagine being a homeowner in California. First of all you're not owning your home because you're paying the government or it will take it away from you. So property taxes are basically rent you're paying to keep your house. So not only do you not really own your house because you've got to pay the government just to keep it, but if somebody plays a clever trick and moves in and doesn't pay you rent anymore, you've got to keep them. So if you can't control keeping your own house, you've got to pay rent to the government and the government can tell you that someone else can live in your house whether you like it or not. Do you even own the house? It's like you don't even own the house. So California is pretty close to full communist at this point. Or at least socialist.
Now I happen to know somebody who was a squatter at one point. It was sort of a boyfriend situation. You know the boyfriend wanted to break up but she wanted to stay where she was. And I'll tell you, being a squatter is no good idea because once you get on the list of someone who has ever been a squatter, you can never rent a place or probably even buy a place ever again. You are absolutely locke

d out of all civilized behavior once you show up on a list of somebody who has ever squatted. You can never rent. Never rent again. It's pretty severe. Wouldn't it be better if it was easier to remove the squatters but maybe the squatter penalty would maybe time out after five years or something because people change? I think California is doing everything wrong on that topic. I've got a theory t…
