Yep! Newsom has been a disappointment in several areas lately. But this regarding due process and kidnapping of immigrants ie Kilmer Abrego Garcia, is too egregious to ignore. “Homegrowns” next?
Newsom has nothing to do with that Sergei. Trying to slip in some misinformation as usual. Newsom is not the President. The stupidest person on earth is, DonOld Trump is who said ‘HOMEGROWNS NEXT’. Facts are hard…
Being presumptuous and speaking for SJS52, I read their comment as “Newsom has been disappointing, but his downplaying this latest atrocity from Trump is a particularly objectionable.”
In other words, I suspect you both are in agreement.
Gavin is right! Trump has you focusing on that bouncing ball while he total decimates the government. Social security fucking matters! Does it matter more than due process? Of course not. But there are 71 million people on social security and one fricken American in El Salvador. How about we give the 71 million as much attention as that one dude?
BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID, every minute of every day … be afraid! People are selling fear and I think it’s disgusting. Be afraid, subscribe, buy my newsletter cause you need to be afraid!
I am a nobody. No one is going to come for me.
I read an article about the actual mechanics of declaring martial law on 350 million people. HE DOESN’T HAVE THE MAN POWER. All he can do is threaten and intimidate. Yeah, he can disappear a person here and they, but we are a big fricken country. If he tries it, it will fail just like every thing he has done so far.
People often get these two mixed up. Just because it is possible one of his goons would come after me, a white woman living in the Sierra Mountains, it is highly unlikely.
There are 2.86 million enlisted soldiers, including active duty and national guard. There are 20,000 FBI agents/staff employed at the bureau. If you add in the ATF, ICE, etc., maybe one might hit 3.5 million. So, Donnie has 3.5 million foot soldiers to police 350 million people. Are we such cowards that we choose to ignore the overwhelming odds in our favor?
(Btw … All the police, and sheriffs, etc., work for the state, counties, and cities, not Donnie.)
"No one is going to come for me" doesn't include the word "probably". Forgive me for taking what you had actually written at face value.
And, yes, the non-military people in the country may outnumber the military by around 100-to-1, but millions of those civilians are likely to support the military rather than oppose it (for example, the millions who voted for Trump in the first place and those who continue to support his actions). And while police and sheriffs may not be federal officers, many of them also side with the fascists rather than the rule of law. (Sheriff Joe Arpaio was not a solitary case.)
So while purely looking at the numbers may still favor the people, it's not really a meaningful statistic. Vast and obvious direct attacks on our rights are continue to happen. If it was just a matter of counting up sides, those would have stopped already, but they haven't.
I did not say we should not be concerned. We should be concerned about it. The problem is that is ALL some folks seem to care about. That is the distraction. The SINGLE FOCUS ON JUST ONE THING. It is intentional. Yeah. It’s a Constitution crisis and we're going to take it to court and they will loose and then they will say oh well. Meanwhile, they foreclosed on your house.
People commenting on and drawing attention to a particular issue doesn’t mean they aren’t doing the same for other issues.
We can walk and chew gum and comment on cut to Medicaid and comment on the destruction to due process and draw attention to the failing economy all at the same time.
As a native Californian, I can say Newsom has lost me and pretty much all of California. This trail of misfits he’s been courting for his all important ‘Podcast’ has lost him a chance at the Presidency.
Pete Buttigieg is getting praise for talking with the “enemy” but Gavin gets trashed for doing the same thing. Why is it ok for the gay guy but not Gavin? The double standard really pisses me off about the left.
The two men couldn’t be further apart in what they’re doing.
Buttigieg is challenging the Fox media lies to their faces and giving their audience a chance to hear something other than their propaganda. He’s directly challenging them on their shit. While Newsom is inviting the fascists onto his show, NOT challenging them, and thereby providing them with a wider audience. He’s treating their shit like it’s a valid point of view.
But, hey, just dismiss reality as “the gay guy” getting a pass. It’s helpful when you broadcast what *really* bothers you that clearly.
Too fucking bad. The right pisses me off with this bullshit all day long. You’re all so ‘inclusive’ except for women, LGBTQ, Disabled, Elderly (of which you look like a member) and don’t forget ALL black and brown people.
Don’t lecture me about the ‘Gay guy’ using your ignorance.
Trump wants to conflate due process with immigration, and Dems could let him get away with that if they don't message the due process issue well. Dems have historically been bad at messaging. If they follow Van Hollen's lead, they should be ok, but I am not counting on it.
This is a Political Crisis. The Courts are still working.
“…in the face of mass kidnappings and extraordinary renditions.”
Not so extraordinary. Terrifyingly common.

With many Democratic’s unconsciously helping him!

Due process is number one, if you can do this to one person you can do it to all, do not wait until they finally come for you!

Famous last words.
What is possible is not always probable.

Because it isn’t just “the one dude”. It’s hundreds already, and the Republicans have made it very clear they want it to be thousands including YOU.
Do you really think that because your house isn’t being robbed (yet) that we shouldn’t be concerned about eliminating all police departments?

Muted and blocked.
