Pretty sure that's what Republicans are saying to Democrats.

The amount of grift and graft in CA is astounding. The idea that Gavin "French Laundry" Newsom isn't apart of it is quite hilarious on your part.

Imagine making a high speed rail system and never talking to the train car manufacturers LMAO that train was never going to see the light of day.

It's funny Gavin is gifted a $9 million dollar home, and pulls out idk how many millions in tax free loans.

The exact playbook snoofy gets so upset about, and it's crickets from Lumpers.

There's so much slush money in the State no one says anything. Swalwell was hopeing his dalliance with the Asian persuasion wouldn't ruin it, he could have gotten his hands on some of it

" The idea that Gavin "French Laundry" Newsom isn't apart of it is quite hilarious on your part."

Always fascinating when a Slurper accidentally tells the truth.

In the last five years this source claims his popularity has steadily increased from 63% to 83% (nearly double what the President currently has).

He's referencing a New York Post article.

It's pathetic.

But that's what we've come to expect from him.

One sees all this and one hopes against hope that the Dems take back both Houses of Congress, and so finally present the Trump debacle in all its greed and con games in investigation after impeachment.

My local California MAGA hates Newsom. Still smarting from spending $276,000,000 to remove him from office. Which failed. Now Lawfare by the felon administration to keep him out of the 2028 Presidential campaign. (not my choice either but...)

Dirty Tricks Division of the MAGA cult. No word on the grift and graft of the Felon Presidency as yet.

An investigation with no crime.

Keep searching tho. He may have jaywalked when it was still illegal!

See, this is why OnetinyNut is Jeffthemagadongsluper in drag.
The obliviously delusional preoccupation with California as all things anti-Maga.
Which it's not, if you actually lived here you'd know about Merced and Fresno and Paso Robles and Shasta County and Huntington Beach...but you don't, you never have, and that's what eats at you. You never will. You too poor. Meanwhile, we'll enjoy our liberty and resistance to tyranny and our natural beauty and enormous economy. Suck it, loser.

Anyone who lives in California at this point falls into 3 catergories.

1. homeless

2. middleclass who has to skip meals to make the mortgage/rent/taxes

3. independently wealthy. But don't look now, they're beginning to leave

Thanks for your ignorant analysis of California.

Enjoy your broken energy grid and sky high property taxes.

A couple more data centers should fix everything!

Roll on hot wheels!

-Thanks for your ignorant analysis of California.

I always appreciate the "ignorant analysis" of states people don't live in.

Quite entertaining.

I wonder sometimes based on how people post that some of our California posters don't fit in #2 oftentimes.

On topic........It's hard for a governor of a huge state like CA to completely have their hands clean......but nothing is going to come of it......as it's already been pointed out, this is all about the mid-terms.
