In a moment that will likely send shockwaves through every level of American government, President Donald Trump has publicly called for the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom, sparking immediate political fallout and fears of authoritarian overreach.
Yup! And the American Idiot (thanks Green Day!) voter brought the tyrant back. We are one stupid-ass People who I have lost complete faith in to any longer do the right thing
Yes & yes, then add some widespread election fraud, and we get a perfect storm recipe of ultimate disaster. It’s sickening as so many of us watched with horror all of this in the making. Now here we are, contemplating what our existence means, and what we all do next.
There's a recount going on in a county in NY. Rockland County had districts where Kamala Harris received 0 votes. That's statistically impossible. If they find fraud, it will open up recounts across the US, especially in swing states.
I think every state should be suing Donald Trump. He has no grounds to arrest a leader of the state. Or governors whether Republican or Democrat or independent for that matter should definitely sue this administration on what is going on. I’m sure every day is going to be touched by this nonsense in a negative way or another. So I think it’s the governors of all 50 states to stand up to him. Red state blue state purple state that bill in no way is ever gonna pass the Senate and that’s why Trump is revengeful on this matter. He is the one creating chaos. They are just following the constitution if they had gotten together and just sued Trump.
Sorry you’re so confused. These are the facts and it’s all countries around the world as well as American citizens that live there recognizing what is happening with the USA. If you choose to wear blinders, that’s your problem. Democracies die when citizens don’t speak up. You’re part of the problem. Love from your upstairs neighbour seeing it all unfold and recognizing it for what it is. 😘
So god awfully thankful that our Canadian friends are here to be our conscience, guide, and tell us how to live our lives. Funny it sounds like the goal of the Nazi dictator I already live under
Absolutely! Let's just agree with everybody who says anything so that we don't hurt their feelings. That's how we got here. That's how we let the Nazis in. By acting like tolerant intelligent people and never speaking back what we got with a country full of Nazis. So when I disagree I'll say any damn thing I like.
Am in office? That’s news to me. But if you say so then where is Big Balls? He & all of his ilk plus every single Republican is now fired. That’s my plan. I hope you approve.
Sen Schiff and Padilla have allowed this to happen as well. 600 days of a genocide they have supported does not lie. All of what has been used in Gaza - surveillance, torture methods etc. has been exported to the usa. democrats have done nothing, and yes, republicans are worse.
I understand and respect your thoughts but our division has enabled a smaller more motivated group of people focused on creating a theocratic oligarchy to take over America. The huge loss of life and billions of grain wasted by destroying USAID is one of a thousand bad consequences from their takeover. They have divided us and are conquering. I am focused on a coalition sticking together to stop this from happening. Gaza being depopulated to become a Mediterranean Trump resort is another outcome. Whatever we do we must stick together.
I appreciate that - AND please include the starvation of an entire population of people - paid for by YOU and ME! There is too much silence on this - and Israel has outdone "hamas' times 1000. where is the outrage? California senators are complicit
This is because of money used to fund political campaigns. Campaign finance is a huge component of the reason so many of them are not speaking out against Netanyahu and his regime.
then please include Gaza in your outrage, because it is a test of how much you will ignore. That is my point. So much going on at home - doesn't concern me, or I don't want to offend Jews. I am one. please speak up.
I understand and share your outrage. But we each have to choose our battles. What can any of us do, when the supporters of this genocide are the richest and most powerful people on the planet? And you have named and blamed certain legislators as “allowing” this to happen. Patriots like Schiff and Padilla, who are not members of the oligarchy and as members of the democratic party have little to no legislative power in this administration I’m pretty sure do not support genocide. Peace out.
Republicans and the Supreme Court have empowered him to be a dictator and our justice department did not protect us from him after the Jan. 6th insurrection. And no recounts were requested in swing states after the election. Grave failures of inaction.
State troopers are for traffic control. They're not trained to handle civilian unrest. But who is? The American military. The National Guard. So far it isn't looking too promising.
The American Military has NEVER been sent in against American citizens! The National Guard is a state controlled militia normally used to help out during tragedies like floods and wildfires, but also crowd control and is normally ordered by the Governor. Supposedly Trump ordering the Guard is only the second time by a setting president without Governor requesting it since Johnson ordered Alabama Guard during segregation, Civil Rights back in 1963 and 1965
How far past "not okay" must We, the People tolerate? When do we take up our country's cause and DO SOMETHING! Arrest the bloated road-cone NOW! We know, in our hearts, he's bat-shit crazy and will never stop attending to our collective submission and the demise of democracy. Zieg Heil!
A sitting president can't be arrested. By putting ourselves in a position of no guardrails, we have shot ourselves in the foot royally. My worst nightmare is that the midterm elections won't take place because Republicans will have passed laws that prohibit dissenters from voting.
Those are all excellent questions. If, big IF, DJT is impeached, have we gone from the frying pan to the fire with Vance? He doesn’t own the MAGA cult, so maybe it would start to right the country? But, he is Curtis Yarvined, and that is beyond scary.
I don’t think so. But that is another problem. What do we do if djt does not allow another free election like we all expect. That will make it impossible to get rid of them.
Don’t forget that Don jr is looking at a future presidency. 2028 dump Vance, rig the election and then what? Time for me to leave, but that doesn’t help anyone else.
Of course because he knows he’s above the law. Remember his interview with I believe it was Time Magazine, felon 34 stated he would be a dictator on day 1.
this prick never had a mind. have you known anything of him before 2015? he's always been an asshole, he's never had a decent bone in his body and he's always been the dumbest one in the room
The other thing that Bill does is make it to where no court can overturn anything that Trump does. He will have a complete and total power. There will be no more checks and balances. He will essentially have the powers of a king. That is the real reason he wants this bill to pass. It was snuck in.
Trump said he would be a dictator. Republicans have empowered him to that effect. We are in a dictatorship.
Yup! And the American Idiot (thanks Green Day!) voter brought the tyrant back. We are one stupid-ass People who I have lost complete faith in to any longer do the right thing
As did the illegitimate supreme court.
Yes & yes, then add some widespread election fraud, and we get a perfect storm recipe of ultimate disaster. It’s sickening as so many of us watched with horror all of this in the making. Now here we are, contemplating what our existence means, and what we all do next.

Great link with unfortunate news. Hopefully it gains enough momentum with outrage. Thanks, Terry!
There's a recount going on in a county in NY. Rockland County had districts where Kamala Harris received 0 votes. That's statistically impossible. If they find fraud, it will open up recounts across the US, especially in swing states.
And worst Quisling award went to Mitch McConnell ala Borowitz subscribers. He beat out Stephen Miller and a few other Quislings.
We don’t tolerate dictators!
Apparently, for now, we ARE tolerating a dictator and his flying monkeys…
No. Just because he is trying to be a dictator doesn't mean we accept his self-appointment. We fight him off until he is ousted.
I think every state should be suing Donald Trump. He has no grounds to arrest a leader of the state. Or governors whether Republican or Democrat or independent for that matter should definitely sue this administration on what is going on.

Based on results, I'm afraid we do.
No. We let billionaires throw money at them to get them elected. This NEVER should’ve happened.
What do you think we are doing now
I'm sorry what country do you live in? You might want to stay out of American politics if you can't tell fact from fiction.
Sorry you’re so confused. These are the facts and it’s all countries around the world as well as American citizens that live there recognizing what is happening with the USA.

You just took and Criticized a person who has there right to Speak there Opinion. Let's not argue with them we have enough HATE here around us 😔
Absolutely! Let's just agree with everybody who says anything so that we don't hurt their feelings. That's how we got here. That's how we let the Nazis in. By acting like tolerant intelligent people and never speaking back what we got with a country full of Nazis. So when I disagree I'll say any damn thing I like.
Ohya?? Whats' your plan to do something about it
Am in office? That’s news to me. But if you say so then where is Big Balls? He & all of his ilk plus every single Republican is now fired. That’s my plan. I hope you approve.
No. We just let foreign billionaires elect them.
Apparently, the orange cult members do....and the Dems in office are allowing him to become one.
Sen Schiff and Padilla have allowed this to happen as well. 600 days of a genocide they have supported does not lie. All of what has been used in Gaza - surveillance, torture methods etc. has been exported to the usa. democrats have done nothing, and yes, republicans are worse.

So what you are saying is our government is broken. This is a time to unite, not divide.
then please include Gaza in your outrage, because it is a test of how much you will ignore. That is my point. So much going on at home - doesn't concern me, or I don't want to offend Jews. I am one. please speak up.

Two sides of the same coin.
Republicans and the Supreme Court have empowered him to be a dictator and our justice department did not protect us from him after the Jan. 6th insurrection. And no recounts were requested in swing states after the election. Grave failures of inaction.
The media and the Reich Wing SCROTUS had a hand in this idiot's rise to power
We are going to see some real problems here in California. Personally. I think we and the entire coastline should become a Canadian State.
It is all theater.
When will the masses wake up?
Likely the twelfth of never
Odd the dems cannot see the techno coup that has been happening. Shows how both sides are ignorante.
When some asshole says he wants to be a dictator, we should listen and act before he becomes one — not afterwards.
WTF this is not ok.
Can Newsom use state troopers etc to protect himself from the national guard? Like can a state protect itself from the Feds?
We don't have troopers, we have our national guard and highway patrol.
State troopers are the same as hiway patrol.
State troopers are for traffic control. They're not trained to handle civilian unrest. But who is? The American military. The National Guard. So far it isn't looking too promising.
The American Military has NEVER been sent in against American citizens! The National Guard is a state controlled militia normally used to help out during tragedies like floods and wildfires, but also crowd control and is normally ordered by the Governor.

think that policeman that fired a rubber bullet at the reporter, unprovoked, was trained?
Government Newsom said the CHP are out helping LASD and LAPD
How far past "not okay" must We, the People tolerate? When do we take up our country's cause and DO SOMETHING! Arrest the bloated road-cone NOW! We know, in our hearts, he's bat-shit crazy and will never stop attending to our collective submission and the demise of democracy. Zieg Heil!

Can we impeach now???!!!
Do you think you can get Republicans to do the right thing and vote for impeachment?
On the other hand, is JD Vance any better?
We need a new majority in the house and make Hakeem Jeffries president.
If anything JD Vance would be better because he is so deeply unpopular and does not have the following of the cult.
Fair.
But in some ways he is more dangerous as he is a big supporter of Curtis Yarvin.
JD Vance would be far worse. Game over. No do overs or second lives.
True, but he is undoubtedly more intelligent (in a sly, cunning way, and in an educated way too) and more devious.
No one has the cult following like Trump.. no one!
VANCE IS WORST
Those are all excellent questions. If, big IF, DJT is impeached, have we gone from the frying pan to the fire with Vance? He doesn’t own the MAGA cult, so maybe it would start to right the country? But, he is Curtis Yarvined, and that is beyond scary.
I came here to say exactly this.
As did I.
we need to take both the House and the Senate, but at this rate will we even make it to 2026/2028?
I know, JD is probably worse than what we have? We need to get rid of the whole administration 😡
I do agree! Every damn one of them
Seeing it from Europe, no if you DON NOT FIGHT NOW TO OUST TRUMP, MILLER AND BANNON
I don’t think so. But that is another problem. What do we do if djt does not allow another free election like we all expect. That will make it impossible to get rid of them.
Don’t forget that Don jr is looking at a future presidency. 2028 dump Vance, rig the election and then what? Time for me to leave, but that doesn’t help anyone else.
totally agree...but how?
How do you propose we do that?
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do that
And just WHO is going to impeach him? That ship has sailed.
Plan for JD! 👿
He’s such an incompetent 🍊🤡douche. Loving this version of my governor💙. Gavin’s not taking the gilded turd’s crap.
For someone who was found guilty on 34 counts in a court of law, he really likes calling for people to be arrested.
Of course because he knows he’s above the law. Remember his interview with I believe it was Time Magazine, felon 34 stated he would be a dictator on day 1.
It’ll happen to him eventually.
Projection, again
😂
Trump and acolites are CRIMINALS, TRAITORS OF AMERICA🇺🇸 !!!! RISE UP 🙏🔥🇺🇸
Zu,he and his acolites should be called " Nazis" everyday,everyweek.
WTAF??? THIS ADMIN NEEDS TO GO!!! FDT!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OMG wtf DT has lost his mind
this prick never had a mind. have you known anything of him before 2015? he's always been an asshole, he's never had a decent bone in his body and he's always been the dumbest one in the room
I agree!!!
Saved me a post on that open door - thanks!
He’s trying so hard to manufacture a war. But what is he trying to distract us from this time…
The bill that's on its way to the Senate. The one that guts everything below the established wealth line.
It’s more destructive than just that, it’s trying to re-write how Americans are governed
The other thing that Bill does is make it to where no court can overturn anything that Trump does. He will have a complete and total power. There will be no more checks and balances. He will essentially have the powers of a king. That is the real reason he wants this bill to pass. It was snuck in.
That bill cannot pass in anyway close to what it is right now! It needs to be shitcanned and start over from scratch!
Yes, ma'am. I agree with you while heartedly.

Gym Jordon R-OH slipped the Don is a Queen into the bill to exempt him from Judicial contempt procecution.
The bill, Epstein, the Musk blowup...
The 50% tariff on steel that was supposed to go into effect today - Monday. Did Taco Don yank that one too?
Go ahead and arrest the Governor. More evidence for impeachment.
Then stop talking about it and arrest the Governor and we’ll see you in court for a bogus arrest!
Go ahead, arrest them. Trump and the administration has NO standing
It’s already a constitutional crisis. We’ve been there for more than a month.
Karin,you are 100% right.What do we do next?
It depends. Focus on supporting your community. Hopefully this includes your family, friends and neighbors.
Take care of yourself. Eat well, sleep, get exercise. This is a long haul.
Focus on whatever is important to you. One thing. Education, health, voting rights, due process. And find folks who are equally focused.
Triangulating news sources. Look for independent reporters. Many excellent journalists have moved to Substack.
Trump and his goons need to be arrested and thrown in prison and lose the keys!
There are just no more words in the English language to describe the chaos, the insanity, and the blatant lawlessness of this current administration!!
Yatzee!!
Anything he can do to keep the spotlight off him and Elon
DJT completely unhinged. Keep looking behind the curtain. This is another distraction from project 2025 insanity
Thx for the reminder of the distraction action.
RIGHT!
