Gavin Newsom calls for impeaching Trump, gets slapped with recall petition from California's locals

California's far-left governor, Gavin Newsom, is out there with the best of them, loudly calling for the impeachment of President Trump. It's nothing new for him, given that he ran for governor in 2017 on this platform.

Appearing last night on the late-night Daily Show, Newsom made no bones about it, according to the Hollywood Reporter:

"There's no doubt he will be impeached."

To that statement, the Daily Show crowd erupted with cheers. Newsom followed with, "The question is will he be removed from office, and that's a separate question that Mitch McConnell can answer."

From his point of view, it makes sense, because even though he's been on the job for only about a year, he's shown that he's always been more interested in sounding woke than actually governing. Just tour the poop-strewn, disease-ridden streets of any California blue city with a high Newsom vote count for a whiff of it.

But amid all his clown-show grandstanding, one could almost hear a faint political honking noise in the background. News came out from northern California that yet another recall petition was being launched against him.

According to KRCR ABC 7 News:

REDDING, Calif. — In Redding, a petition was created that needs to get 1.5 million signatures to recall California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"We are having the petitions here to recall Governor Newsom," Tyler Thompson, Owner of Redding Guns LLC. said. "He's classified California as a sanctuary state, that's not okay with me and that's not okay with all the people that come into my gun store who live up in Northern California."

Thompson says he will begin offering the petition starting Thursday at his gun store on East Street in Redding. He says the cutoff date to sign it is February 13.

Actually it was one of the wettest winters we’ve had.

It has also been cooler than normal.

That doesn’t mean there won’t be wildfires though.

A lot of water in the spring means a lot of undergrowth pops up. Later in the year it dries out and becomes great combustible material.

If it’s too dry, they tell us it’s a bad year for fire.

If it rains a lot, they tell us it’s a bad year for fire.

So, you've been stealing all of our cool, wet weather. Here in GA/AL, it's been weeks of unrelenting, stifling heat, and no end in sight. 90's every day, heat indices up in the 100's, even with low humidity. The retailers already have acres of decor out for three different holidays, but who wants to think about roasting a turkey or trimming a tree when it's still 85 after sundown? The grass is brown. The trees are brown. The only respite is to stay inside with the A/C on 72 and pretend it's fall. I'd donate a vital organ for a hurricane about now. As soon as my situation stabilizes, I'm moving back to the mountains. If my wife wants to sit here and sweat until she makes her own gravy, so be it. I'd rather shoo away bears than scratch at prickly heat all day.
