California officials promise to defend rights ahead of another Trump presidency
NBC News San Francisco ^ | November 7, 2024 | By Ruth Dusseault

During Trump's first administration, California filed over 100 lawsuits contesting the president's actions.

Standing in the Presidio in San Francisco, his shoulders aligned with the Golden Gate Bridge, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Thursday that the state is prepared to defend its values against the challenges brought by a second Trump administration.

"I don't think there's anything that the Trump administration won't try in pursuit of its ends and goals, so we have to be prepared for anything," said Bonta. "Mr. Trump repeatedly overstepped his authority between 2016 and 2020. There's no reason to think he won't do it again. We checked him and we stopped him, and we pushed him back into his box when he tried to step out of it. And that's what the law is for. That's what AGs do."

Bonta said he has learned to take Trump at his word when he says he'll roll back environmental protections, go after immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, attack civil rights and restrict access to reproductive care.

"We won't be flat-footed come January. You can be sure that as California attorney general, if Trump attacks your rights, I'll be there. If Trump comes after your freedoms, I'll be there. If Trump jeopardizes your safety and your well-being, I'll be there," said Bonta.

I'll need some examples.

(LGBTQ+)

Satan has been celebrating homosexuals

since the days of Sodom and Gomorrah for 4,100 or 4,200 years now (Genesis chapter 19).

Some believe slightly later.

The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us. As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.

Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda. (For the thread)

said Bonta. "Mr. Trump repeatedly overstepped his authority between 2016 and 2020."

No he didn't. End of that discussion.

And it's President Trump, asshat.

Talk is cheap, but when Trump shuts off the Federal money spigot, bankrupt Commiefornia will be on their knees begging for survival.

Still lying today. They learned nothing. Immigrants have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency

Obviously Rob Bonta won’t be defending gun rights, parental rights or religious freedom anytime soon.

California officials promise to keep destroying America and pad their elite pockets with our money.

You have to marvel at how quickly and seamlessly these mofos go from wanting the federal government to be all things to all people, to suddenly discovering “state rights” when the admin is of the opposite party. Why any business remains in that miserably governed state is beyond me; as an example, if I had any kind of oil/gas business there, I’d first relocate, and then absolutely refuse to sell any of my products there.

This (Mara)Bonta need to be treated and stomped on (politically, of course) as the ant he undoubtedly is...

“the state is prepared to defend its values”

The state of California’s Government has no values.

Newscum has already started his 2028 campaign, and Bonta has his eye on the governor’s mansion. CA has a $100B deficit, the state is turning into a s-hole and Trump is the only thing on their minds. Total a*shats. You really can’t hate these people enough.

I hope that if this continues, and the resistance to President Trump doesn’t go away, That he will walk is through a national divorce.

I seriously can’t see a future while these people live among us.

Why? No “legal” rights are threatened.
