It's about time a Dem gave an impassioned speech like this.

[berg80]

The news scroll at the bottom of the screen during his speech was reporting violent crimes. Sort of a bad moment .
But he has ''drawn the line in the sand and thrown down the gauntlet in the face of Federal Tyranny''. States rights debate again maybe dividing the country. Lets hope the debate stays peacful.

Could it be any more divided?

Chicago has a real crime problem. Why don't Chubs and the lousy mayor address it

They did. They are in full support of the criminals.

 

[Billiejeens]

As much as I appreciate Newsome's snarky parody of trump this is the kind of pitch perfect speech we need to meet the moment. Hopefully, the board's Repubs will watch enough to hear the governor expose the fallacy that what is happening in DC is about crime.

Even the staged crowd around him wasn't in to it.

God damn you are stupid.

 

[scruffy]

Listen to the speech.

lmao!

"We have 100 murders a week in my state, but it's Trump's fault".

Same old bullshit from the leftards. Orange Man Bad.

Yawn.

 

[blackhawk]

If the people who elected the fat **** are good with his incompetence so am I.

 

[Rogue AI]

Fifteen minutes of liberal fearmongering and the board lemmings expect anyone to watch it? Trump has not announced a timelime, since the kook in IL can't comprehend that the rest is useless. What a waste of time.

 

[Chuz Life]

Regardless, I wish I were a Trump advisor on this. Just like he does with so many other issues, he completely misses the chance to make his point (using less resources) by using the bully pulpit.

 

[Scoutster]

The only "impassioned" thing there is the desire for a double Whopper with cheez.

Let the criminals run free

 

[citygator]

Neither Newsome or the tub of fat from Illinois matters to me.

You prefer the tub of fat lard that is orange? Weird. That dude is swelling up as we speak. He'll be dead in a year if he doesnt start eating right and exercising.

I don’t get what’s wrong with the people in IL? Surely they don’t believe this charlatan….

Bleating and whining in front of their dismissal .
Smart people complain later and after they have been exonerated .
But clearly Un - American Troll Bugger86 hates seeing the possibility of huge corruption being investigated .

Strange how our Un American Troll always tries to justify possible corruption .
Isn't that how Political Vermin behave?

its about the democrat coverup of their failure to control crime, the high rate of black crime, and the failure of the welfare state that is the main cause of crime.

Oh, how your whiny protestations are music to my ears. Obviously Pritzker hit a nerve.

I recall back during trump 1.0 the NYT made the editorial decision to call a spade a spade and use the word "lie" when referring to trump's........well.......lies. The time was past due.

It's time for high profile Dems to do likewise and call Don what he is, an authoritarian. He provides justification virtually every day.

Trump tells Fed’s Lisa Cook she’s fired; she says ‘he has no authority to do so’​

Trump has the right to fore her
Trump reduces the power of government democrats increase it so which party is authoritarian?

 

[LeftofLeft]

Such an impassioned speech is necessary in opposition to the fascist Trump.

Because mandating vaccines, forcing people’s kids to sit and have stories read to them by trans, and forcing people to use pronouns - that’s all fascism.

You whine about 'authoritarian' silliness daily yet don't even know what that means. It isn't that Trump does anything to justify your half baked lies, it is that your lies are disproven daily and you are forced to invent new ones. All the while pretending your previous lies were true. Pathetic.

No thanks.

He would have more credibility on the issue if he could point to positive results he's getting with his own measures. Without that, it's just bluster, and yeah, democrats need more bluster.
