One guy who's actively defying this orange turd and all the fucking tankies on here would rather shit on Gavin because he's not the perfect online liberal like they are.
You people are the fucking problem right now.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Just more TACO comments from wanna be bullies. These people would lose their teeth in a street fight. Then act like they are Rocky Balboa on state media Fox News. The reality is that they are pussies. Punch a bully and he never bothers you again.
If I am a betting person, and if Trump doesn't arrest him sooner, I would bet that Newsom will run for president near 2028, and that is when Trump will have him arrested.
Newsome will definitely run for president, and HitlerPig knows it, that's why he's going after him now.
Alexei Navalny would advise Newsome to not get arrested easily. Fight these fascists at every turn.
So are you? A betting person?
In the case of Trump? No. The dude is unpredictable.
Well, shit. There's a lot to not like about Newsom, but I can think of 100 democrat politicians that would have folded like wet Kleenex by now. He could be a lot more aggressive about this, but he's clearly trying to exhaust all the normal channels. Critical support for Gavin.
Gavin Newson kept California safe during the peak uncertain times of COVID.
Gavin Newson survived a recall that was initiated by the trump blowhards in Orange County and the Central Valley.
We do NOT NEED 2,000 national guards deployed to L.A. Trump WANTS to make things escalate, and 2,000 troops WILL make things escalate.
Your dipshit dictator is siccing military troops on citizens. This is war against citizens.
He did some great things during the peak but, since, he's frequently been nothing but a corpo ghoul. Sabotaging efforts to break up convicted killer and "power company"^1^, PG&E. Supporting rate increases so that the board of convicted killer and "power company", PG&E didn't have to face any actual penalties for killing people. Adamantly opposing any wealth tax. Putting significant support behind RTO/quiet layoffs.
I was a supporter for a while, but the more I get to know him, the less I like him. He's just another Corporatist Republican-Lite Democrat, and those are the losers that got HitlerPig elected in the first place. If he becomes President, HitlerPig, or someone worse, will be back in office in 2032.
I want the next Democratic president to be an aggressive, no apology, hard core reformer, who isn't afraid to stand up to Sociopathic Oligarchs and Traitors.
he's got a law degree, and passed bar, he's aware of what an enormous investment opportunity that level of civil rights violation would entail.
"That kind of bloviating is exhausting."
Bloviate - talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way.
Instantly added to my lexicon. There's another word I've often used when I should have been using this one, because the other word (malapropism) isn't exactly what I am meaning a lot of the time but it was the closest thing to what I was trying to convey (someone talking out of their ass in a way that tries to sound intelligent when it isn't).
I keep a message chain to myself for new words - here's my most recent:
architectonics, antimonies, deracinated, vituperative, idempotent, moither, uxorious, voussoir, integumented, exuviated, entelechy.
moither
That's the opposite of foither! 😃
I hate the word so much because Bill O'Reilly used to constantly use it back in his hayday (early 2ks) so I associate it with him.
I remember that and even as a teenager it drove me nuts because that is exactly what his entire news slot was ...him , bloviating. Fuck that guy
...and osculate my posterior!
Trump’s "border czar," Tom Homan, warned Saturday that immigration operations and the presence of federal personnel would continue in the city despite criticism from Democratic leaders who've warned it could further escalate protests. He threatened arrest for anyone who obstructs the immigration enforcement effort, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — though he acknowledged that neither yet had "crossed the line."
Cross the line, Gavin. Cross the line and we’ll believe it’s not an idle threat. Until then you’ll always be Patrick Bateman to me.
The illegal deportations were the fucking line that was crossed. Put those fuckers on the defensive and don't let them abuse language like this.
Let's see Stephan Miller's card...
How exactly is Newsome impeding ICE?
They're talking about arresting teachers for protecting their kids. They are not talking about Newsome cuz he's sueing the government. But yeah, go and make this issue about your ego and presidential run bud.
He’s not impeding anything, but Republicans love manufacturing an alternate reality that justifies their violent thugishness.
