Hair gel Newsom is scared, he already knows he can't gerrymander any further.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The GOP doesn’t need to gerrymander. Ungerrymandering the Democrat gerrymandering would be sufficient.

Hey NewSCUM one simple question “What was the cause of the Palisades fire” its been SEVEN months, still no answer, I think we all already know the answer..this should be the biggest scandal of the century if a sitting Governor and the state ordered the total destruction of an entire city in order to build low income housing

[BenLurkin]

PDJT should look at the existing district lines in CA and bring some lawsuits against the Democrats to have their gerrymandering removed.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) in a Monday letter is urging President Trump to call off the map-drawing arms race, saying he should end a redistricting war that is sparking battles across the country. Newsom warned that GOP pushes to draw more favorable maps ahead of the midterms were “playing with fire”

Noisome and the Democrats have been torching California for twenty years.

[bk1000]

They want to undo the democrats gerrymandering.
The Dems don’t like it.

[taxcontrol]

Was it strongly worded?

[AndyJackson]

he should end a redistricting war

You warmongering fascist globalist democrats started this war and it will not end until the the objectives of the SMO are met.

[Seruzawa]

Says the guy whose State has 83% Rat districts.

[Savage Beast]

...and what did Trump say?

[escapefromboston]

Dems have largely maxed out their ability to gerrymander . There isn’t much they could do at this point

[RedElement]

Ahhh, the voice of sweet reason. Where have you been, lo these many years?

With Carville bloviating about new states, court packing, etc., does GrueSomeNewsom really think Trump is going to buy his line?

What about the ‘erroneous’ 2020 census that shorted Red states, and pumped up Blue ones?

The Blues are out of ammo, and it is looking bad for them.

FWIW, in light of new court cases, TX has to redraw districts.

[Seaplaner]

Repeated from an earlier post, an excerpt from the California Redistricting Commission website...

The 14-member Commission is made up of five Republicans, five Democrats, and 4 not affiliated with either of those two parties. The Commission must draw the district lines in conformity with strict, nonpartisan rules designed to create districts of relatively equal population that will provide fair representation for all Californians.

Nothing in this says that California districts should (or can) be redrawn in order to settle a score with another state.

[HombreSecreto]

Was it written in crayon and include a frowny face?

[Vaduz]

Yes Newsomis getting the memo form a lot of people.

PISS OFF

What’s in the Legislature now is a proposal to have a special election in November to temporarily suspend or modify the state constitutional provisions regarding the commission. Half of the Legislature needs to vote for the election and two-thirds to put the constitutional measure in the ballot. They have until the end of the month

[fruser1]

I prefer that the democrats surrender first.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

[rktman]

😂😂😂. Like grab em would have if PDJT asked CA to not redistrict. Best and brightest my rosey red......

[Revel]

Trump: Pull the other one.
