Ain't Huntington Beach, California the grandest place on earth?
Did ya’ catch the debate last night? Amazing stuff. Top notch political theater. I was so excited to watch that I blew off an afternoon glass off in favor of sitting in front of my laptop. Streaming PBS and taking bong hits until my mind melted.
I’m very thankful I don’t have a dog in the race this election cycle. To recap: Hawaii’s polls close six hours after the East Coast, we only have four electoral votes (out of 270), and the state is tried and true blue. My vote don’t count for shit on the national stage. I couldn’t be happier.
I get to play observer, avoid becoming truly invested. I’d have a heart attack. Better to focus on the small stage campaigns over which I have some control. Stuff that’ll actually affect my life.
Plus! I’ve taken to grabbing my unsuspecting wife by the pussy every chance I get.
“It’s presidential,” I tell her. “Total power move. You love it.”
Of course, you’d have to be a total fucking idiot to think Trump presidency would do anything but usher in the End Times. Maybe that’s the case. There seems be a lot of overlap between the can’t-wait-for-Jesus-to-come-back zealots and the Make America White Again fascists.
I know a few of you read the preceeding, understood a few words, and got all upset because you’re voting for the buffoon. Feel free to unload the racist misogynist white terror vitriol in the comments.
Just keep in mind that I don’t care what you have to say. Because I think you’re a total fucking idiot.
However, I do appreciate you expressing yourself. I’d hate to not know which way you’re swinging. I might accidentally take you seriously one day.
I searched online to see if there was a surf-oriented Trump outreach organization. I didn’t expect to find one, but you never know. Some people have no shame.
You know who turned up? Dana Rohrabacher, the surfing congressman! US Representative for California’s 48th Congressional District, an area that encompasses Seal Beach, Sunset Beach, Huntington Beach, Midway City, parts of Westminster, Fountain Valley, parts of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach, and Laguna Niguel.
Rohrabacher loves to play up the surf angle. One of us!
But really he’s just one of those old dorks who’s surfed for decades but still manages to totally suck.
You know the type. Orange County is full of them. It’s why he keeps getting re-elected.
Rohrabacher supported Prop 8 which banned gay marriage in California, doesn’t believe that global warming is real, got caught taking a bribe in 2005, voted for the war in Iraq, probably makes racist jokes when the room’s totally white, and
is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump.
Orange County Congressman Dana Rohrabacher delivered a scathing rebuke of House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republicans backing away from Donald Trump, saying this morning that the current conflict arising from Trump’s “hot mic” statement will actually help the GOP nominee get elected.
Rohrabacher called Ryan “cowardly” for saying that he would no longer defend Trump, instead focusing his campaign work on helping Republican House candidates.
“Leaders are supposed to stand firm and solid in moments of crisis,” the Costa Mesa Republican told the Register. “Instead, he’s in a panic. It’s not good leadership. … I think the Republicans who are backing away are gutless. We don’t have to just be concerned about saving House seats. We have to be concerned about saving the United States of America.”
I don’t really no what else to say, except that I know I take shots at Orange County often. I believe I’ve called it a “hellish honky shithole.” If I haven’t, I am now.
Shit like this is why.

I wrote in the LATimes years ago that Rohrbacher was a kook. A dog doesn’t change his spots. I also couldn’t agree more that Trump is King of the Clowns. His now scorched earth campaign strategy appears to be an attempt to de-legitimize Clinton in the longrun, I hope we at least get the Senate back, otherwise it’s going to be a very long 8 years.
isn’t wiki leaks run by an alleged aussie rapist?
Spot on, why do the people refuse to believe it? The liberal media is right smack dab in the middle of this farce, brainwashing people. People that support her absolutely refuse to face the facts, and come back with you’re an idiot. Yet they supply no actual facts. Yes, trump is a blowhard, but he is the lesser of two evils.
trump owes $900m to the bank of china and $2 B to the Russians because he has been bankrupt 3 times and ripped off the investors…lesser of 2 evils WTF does he stand for?
Well Maurice the things he stands for that I’m specifically behind are this; pro life, lesser taxes for small business, defeating isis, end Obama care, gun rights. If you wanna know what all he stands for just look here. https://www.donaldjtrump.co…
I’d say your gonna miss a leg to stand on when you start talking debt to China. Us national debt is 19.4 trillion and more than doubled under the Democratic control.
ah back to the good old days . It amazes me that the Demoocrats get blamed for the ecoomy , which is the best performing economy in the world, Obama inherited the GFC and the good old boys war with Iraq , trillions were lost and WMD didn’t exist , but still Obama has somehow created health care for ALL the people , like all other western countries , so by lessening taxes , you will decrease the deficit ?? Now you have a failed businessman ,doesn’t pay taxes cause he’s so smart,won’t release his tax returns as we know that it shows a man abusing the tax system, who wants to isolate the USA, in cancelling Trade agreements, even though he personally owes the Russians and the Chinese, father was in business with the Gambino family , pull back the armed forces overseas ,( reduce military spending) build a wall between Mexico and the USA , which Mexico will not pay for , cheated on his wives , and as reported this morning doesn’t mind groping/raping women. The list goes on ….and yeah the worst candidate in Democratic history is Hilary , the lesser of 2 evils , no doubt that its not Trump.
One point of view: “Trump’s a physco; Hillary is a representative of the white establishment – they own the Country and they will do what they want with it – you normal fucks walking around, living your lives? you’re just a bunch of slaves to the white people that own this country, and there ain’t nothing you can do about it bc we’ll put you in jail, take your money, and put you to work son!”
LOL, no, you’re an idiot.
So the stuff dropped by wiki is just what? Fake? You seem smart enough to realize what she is.
Huntington Beach is the Donald Trump of California.
Aw gosh Rory I actually thought you were a Trump supporter , a great womanizer like you seem to have a lot in common with ol Trumpy boy!
“Wrong” “bc you’d be in jail” “pussy” “inner city” “Benggghhhhhazi” “emails!!!” “Locker room”
most gerrymandered district in history, he represents only the front two rows of houses in Long Beach
Nothing to do with the article but… does anyone know which surfer got dropped from the Volcom Team to make space for Noa Deane’s arrival?
all of them!
I heard last week that Parker Coffin and Nate Tyler and Coleborn are done but that seems pretty extreme to axe all three of those dudes for Noa Deane. So, maybe my friend is wrong.
Would make sense, they’re great free surfers but Noa is the new Dane…, and their QS rankings are all shit except maybe for Coleborn who is 32nd at the mo. The other two don’t bring anything fresh to the table in my opinion. It can’t be Joan Duru as he is 3rd in the QS rankings and has 1 foot on the CT already so I don’t see him being chopped off neither, being the best European surfer at the moment.
got nothing to do with rankings anymore (especially QS ones, unless its Brasil). they probably kept whoever has the IG followers.
A longboarder too, who probably drops on cute girls surfing, to then “accidentally” grab their v-j-js…
Trump is a total idiot and would be so much more likeable if he just kept his mouth shut. Hiliary is a total bitch and a liar. I’m writing in Chas smith as my vote.
try Pauline Hanson , she actually controls Australian politics , and has 1/2 the intellect of Don!
Time to bring back your ‘are we tripping yet’ t-shirt with a Donald / Pauline love child?
1/2 is being very generous
Complete whack job, but he does have one redeeming value: he supports medicinal marijuana use.
Be a shame if he wore a malibu in the forehead in a surfing accident.
Good on you Rory.
Beachgrit with the real shit yet again.
He is on flow for Trump wetsuits.
