Gavin Newsom Goes to White House to Beg for Federal Money After Legislature Passes Anti-Trump Spending
Breitbart ^ | 02/05/2025 | Joel B Pollack

Governor Gavin Newsom is heading to the White House on Wednesday to ask President Donald Trump for federal money to address California’s wildfires, after state legislators passed $50 million to fund anti-Trump measures.

Newsom himself agreed to the $50 million deal in mid-January, with fires still burning in the Los Angeles area, after complaining that Trump wanted to “politicize” the fires by talking about the state’s failed water policies and forestry.

The spending came out of a special legislative session called by Newsom himself. The State Assembly passed the anti-Trump funding right away, and while the State Senate balked at first, it als passed the funding earlier this week.

One way or another the American taxpayers will be once again paying for Democrat stupidity.

Gavin Nuisance should be recalled. How can even liberal people put up with this sort of mismanagement. California will be the next domino to fall.

Hold up - CALIIFORNIANS voted to squander this $50,000,000 to fight our President instead of fighting fires and fireproofing their homes.

Let THEM figure it out by themselves.

How can he do this without a begging bowl?

In the minds of these leftist psychopaths, the two are not remotely related.

This is why they can never connect the dots and come to a logical conclusion.

There are Democrats and then there are California Democrats! Just look at the assortment of kooks representing the state in Congress alone.

Diplomacy is when you tell someone to go to Hell and they ask you for directions.

Uhm...not expecting diplomacy.

I really want to see election reform. I am not convinced that California is as far Left as the election results seem to indicate. Yes, it’s a liberal state. But I don’t think it is that liberal. Let’s get voter ID, auditable results, and a requirement to finish counting within 24 hours or less.

Because Deep State told him to do it.

Tell CA to secure their elections and then federal taxpayers will consider it.

But not until free and fair elections are restored in CA.

News Nation this am, was in NC observing the Army Corps of Engineers building roads and cleaning debris from waterways. Residents said since Trump left, shit is getting done at amazing speed.

No shame is precisely the correct answer.

Legislation to spend $50M on anti-Trump measures? A State struggling with budget problems. Foolish spending on idiotic priorities…

President Trump, if any assistance goes to CA, have it go directly to US citizens directly. Bypass Newsome’s liberal spending stupidity, he cannot be trusted in any way whatsoever.

California was good enough to show they have 50 million free.

No, it wil be like this, Newsom: you don’t get the money without some serious land, water, and financial management reform.

I think he believes his (perceived) cuteness will charm PDJT because it’s worked for him in the past. LOL!

During the fires, FReepers posted that he’s like the guy in American Psycho, so we started to watch it. (1) It’s true; he IS like the guy in the movie. (2) We couldn’t finish the movie because it was too weird. Stomping a dog to death is a deal breaker for us.
