Governor Newsom Speaks Truth To Power About What Trump Is Doing in LA Right Now

[Metric Mouse]

If this was an anti Trans person protest, or any attack on homeless persons, Newsom would be out front busting heads with the cops.

MAGA fascists are salivating right now at the thought of liberals being shot dead in the streets by the Marines in LA. Truly disgusting how the traitor Trump is doing everything he can to escalate this situation.


California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) rebuked the Trump administration’s decision to send 700 Marines to Los Angeles. --

“U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes,” Newsom posted on social media. “They shouldn’t be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American.”

Trump calls up the National Guard and doesn't even make sure they get enough food and water. Typical of this asshole. --

Why is it always rightists who post stupid memes, strings of emojis and teenage chatroom shorthand in political discussion forums? If you can reduce everything to a juvenile level you feel more able to participate? Is that it?

I post memes too. It just so happens they're relevant a have a genuine point to make.

Right wing memes tend to just reinforce the alternate reality bubble they live in, like the one you singled out.

Also they're not very consistent. A minute ago Trumptman was suggesting the protestors, so-called "military age men" were foreign provocateurs. His meme however holds the premise that they're "delusional" Americans.

He's about scoring cheap points, not making valid ones.

And there's Questerr with the classic "nobody was getting raped until she walked in there with that dress to provoke them" argument.

Ah yes. The poor victim. The militarized secret police.

Its not truth to power. Its liberal narrative to liberal fools.

Keep telling yourself that....maybe one day you'll actually believe it.

Translation: I lost the election so I can't get what I want. But I'm too old to cry.

That describes the Jan 6 MAGA traitors pretty well. Well done.

If we're having a 'race to the bottom' somebody has to step up and stop it.

There is no "race to the bottom". Trump won that ****ing race during his first term.

I gotta be honest here.
Now that I've thought about it, Gavin Newsom getting arrested might just be the best thing that could ever happen...to NEWSOM!

I was saying the other day that the other set of bad news is that he's probably now being liked well enough to be a 2028 candidate. Beforehand, Democrats often saw him as somebody that Pelosi was trying to shove down their throats.
