Newsom said that he would use the bulk purchasing power of California “as a nation-state” to acquire hospital supplies.

Where is Billy Sherman when you really need him?

Maybe FEMA should stop sending any emergency aid “overseas” to the nation of California.

Then CA won’t need the $400+ bil/yr it gets from federal taxpayers!

Yay!

“...He Is in breach of oath...”

This is where the communists are the same as the moslems: They can both lie with a clear conscience when it suits their needs & agenda.
Both should be banned from the USA.

Okay. He IS a “democRAT” elected official, isn’t he? All of those people are in full violation of their oath of office. Nothing at all surprising in this.

Newsom 2024 is going to be the existential crisis for America. I haven’t seen the Republican yet who can take up Trump’s sword and credibly continue the fight.

Being a nation state in the US, separate from other states?

I see all states as “nation-states”. Kentucky is to the US what France is to the EU.

That’s why, as a citizen of KY, I don’t roll my state into the “US” regarding virus deaths because we are not New York. We have 18 deaths per million people. they have 360.

My nation-state also has different gun laws.

One cannot breach an oath without breaking themselves first

Oh, I see what you meant. I don’t think Newsom has any idea. Newsom’s statement is so silly it almost defies analysis.
