The California Governor Tells the American People the Truth

[cdstefi]

Retaliation from the toddler in Chief to follow

Yes, this deserves it own thread

An actual Democrat taking the gloves off and speaking truth to power? I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

 

[Rebel5soul]

There was hardly any until the NG showed up.

You are a liar.

 

[Rotadom]

Johnson is Trump's fucking gimp and needs to grow a pair and see things for what they are, not what the pantshitter in chief wants his cock sucking lackeys to think and say

He's a devout Christian so he's used to worshipping false idols .

 

[Rotadom]

You are a liar.

No, he's not.

Um, “actual” Democrats were CONSTANTLY warning that DonOld was basically Hitler (to be fair, so were "republicans", like J.D. Vance), and that this kind of fascist shit was going to happen in a second Trump presidency, so your comment is a yuuuuuuge fail.



We. Told. Them. So.

 

[Politruk]

You are a liar.

There were no flaming cars before the NG showed up. Local police had the situation in hand.

Obama speaks the truth!

^^^^^^
I’m not listening to 15 minutes of anyone.
Just freakin tell us what exactly you agree with.

They soft-pedalled on the attacks on Trump till it was too late. That's why he won. You can keep your We. Told. Them. So in your signoff all you like but the fact is Dems thought they were playing by the rulebook with somebody else who was, and he wasn't. The standard liberal failure with totalitarians. The gloves should have come off way sooner. And now you have a simmering barely-covered civil war just waiting for the right flashpoint because that's how totalitarians like to play it.

 

[Lazaran]

Obama speaks the truth!

WOW…just…WOW…



ineedhelp1 putting forward President Obama & his positions on immigration & border security at this moment in time; and after voting for & supporting DonOld Drumpf???







ineedhelp1 (a racist and a traitor) HAS TO BE the most ignorant, disingenuous, intellectually (I use that term loosely with ineedhelp1) dishonest MAGAt in America.

You do understand, don't you, that Trump comes off looking like the bad guy here, and Newsom the hero? This is not going to win the Pubs any votes in 2028 -- nor in 2026. Quite the reverse.

Agreed. His eloquent, compassionate address to Californians starkly contrasts with the felon's and Johnson's speeches regarding the situation.

Presidential timber, in a somber moment. It reminds me of JFK's messaging during the tribulations of his era. [Not the dim one still living.]

 

[dmallord]

Rubio is not even running-mate material.

Yep. But it didn't stop JD Vance from running. So, sadly, we have that counterpoint.

This is why you lost. This is why you’ll lose again.

Bro why does Trump have to deploy the National Guard and Marines to multiple cities across the USA if "everybody agrees with him?"

 

[nowisthetime]

This is how you challenge a fascist. Other Democratic leaders need to take note.

 

[Rebel5soul]

It seems that the goal here is to support the lies in an overwhelming showing of numbers. I suppose that the theory is that if you repeat the lies often enough they become truth.

Well, lies don't become truth and supporting a liar just makes the supporter a liar as well.

No lies in this -- not even any half-truths:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom addresses the American public, warning of an assault on democracy

California Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the public on Tuesday evening, criticizing U.S. President Donald Trump for his response to the anti-ICE protests centered on Los Angeles and warning that the events in California may repeat elsewhere in the country.

"This isn't just about protests here in Los Angeles. When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived."

Newsom alleged that President Trump's efforts to fire government watchdogs, purge government databases and attack First Amendment protections were a threat to democracy and the principles of co-equal government. He criticized Congress for not fulfilling its responsibility in checking the executive branch.

"This moment, this moment we all need to stand up and be held to account, a higher level of accountability. If you exercise your First Amendment rights, please, please do it peacefully," Newsom said.

You can't point out a single lie there.

this makes my head hurt... not related to the ICE raids/protests other than trump doing all he can do to upset California's gov't and economy with Newsom fighting back:

After Trump signs bill overturning CA gas car ban, Newsom signs order reaffirming ban

(The Center Square) - Immediately after President Donald Trump signed a congressional bill overturning California’s 2035 gasoline-powered car ban, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the state to continue with the phased-in ban. And California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit to stop the ban from being overturned.

Because California’s vehicle emissions regulations — created to combat the state’s notorious and toxic smog — predated the EPA, the state has been allowed to regulate its own emissions, so long as it receives a waiver from the EPA for each standard more stringent than the federal standard.

These waivers are necessary because under the U.S. Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, federal law preempts state law. When it comes to air regulations, states are allowed to opt in to California’s standard or the national standard.

N-79-20, issued in 2020, required the California Air Resources Board to create regulations requiring that new passenger vehicles and commercial freight trucks to be 100% zero-emission by 2035, and the state’s heavy duty vehicles to be 100% zero-mission by 2035. N-79-29 also ordered California’s agencies to create regulations that ensure the state will meet its goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2045.

Bonta’s suit says the CRA states its power can only be used on federal agency rules of general applicability, and that California’s waiver is a matter of specific applicability to California.

I guess that will have to go to the SCOTUS.

It’s basically a heads up to car manufacturers, etc, telling them to avoid making any changes to their business plans that assume the California mandates will be eliminated (imho).



It’s also another chip / red line Governor Newsom is laying down (imho).

Governor Newsim is looking more and more formidable as 2028 approaches (imho).

Obama speaks the truth!

Indeed he did. What you're failing to grasp is that what Trump is doing is nothing like what Obama called for here. Not even close.
