This is about all of us, this is about you,” Gavin Newsom declared this week, his eyes boring into the lens of a camera.
In a televised speech styled like a State of the Union address, the California governor warned that the scenes in Los Angeles, where thousands of military troops took to the streets this week to clamp down on protests against President Trump’s immigration raids, were a taste of things to come.
“Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived,” he said.
Newsom’s latest battle against his long-time foe Trump was spurred by the president’s decision to deploy 4,000 National Guard members and 700 marines. He saw it as a heavy-handed stunt that has made the unrest worse, not better. The 57-year-old Democrat responded by suing the US government, threatening to withhold tens of billions in annual federal tax dollars and embarking on a media blitz of print, broadcast and social media — at one point tweeting Trump’s border tsar to “come and get me, tough guy”.

Correct.
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a more feckless politician in my entire life.
LMAO
What rivalry?
The only real advantage that democrats have is election fraud and media control. If the election system is cleaned up they will be in trouble no matter who their candidate is.
The problems in California from the fires, to pro-illegal policies, to the sh*t on the streets, high crime, etc. will seriously hurt Gavin’s chances. He’s losing the current PR battle pretty badly right now. He looks bad. But anything is possible I guess in our current political system. I see him having an uphill battle.
LOL- has the Times released the Khalidi video yet?
Ah but that means it can be said without trepidation while virtue signaling superior vocabulary!
Maybe we can get liber-ills to use it. Tell 'em that's the original Germanic pronunciation, and therefore a sign of sophistication.
Newsom won't be running against Trump.
Trump is kryptonite to Newsom.
It'll be up to Vance or Rubio to make their case against Newsom.
Yeah, the Charlie Kirk thing is Gavin’s attempt to do the Sister Souljah thing. But that worked for Clinton only because he was not an obvious leftoid to most people. It will not work for Newsome.
Gavin Newsom gets away with ignoring Republicans in California.
California is an one party state so he does not have any experience in trying to appeal to voters outside of his base.
Go away leftist limeys. Jackson kicked your a— s off the Continent.
“T” is the word. Representing for the other side on an issue where the majority agrees with Trump doesn’t strike me as a good place to launch from. The left is stuck: they can’t dump their positions on LGB and immigration, but the people oppose those positions. Better to howl at the moon than do anything that would change their fortunes
More like a noose... But if the lefties want to run with it... Let them run with it.
Defending Biden’s dementia worked out swimmingly for them... Maybe calling organized violent riots ‘peaceful’ demonstrations will fool the American people too... Or not.

It’s hard to believe that show is still on the airwaves.
No kiddin. 5 cows with bad breath.....no thanks.
We are NOT a democracy.
Since we are a Constitutional Republic, it’s good that the democrats twisted ideas of *democracy* are under attack.
Because otherwise, their democracy would finish destroying us.
Seriously….lol. The man took the lifeline , made a noose , wrapped it around his head and basically hung himself.
Smokin’ crack.
This is a bald-faced lie.
The troops are there to quell the riots and violent rioters. No one cares if they protest. They can protest all day and night, but when you start throwing punches, cinder blocks, Molotov cocktails, and (trying) to beat up cops, you're no longer a protestor, but a felon.
