Just like typical liberals, you don't care about the people, just the money. Trump deployed them to contain crime as the primary, and the secondary to do things to prevent crime from getting to bad levels again...like doing something about the homeless. If all he did was try to take care of the homeless, the crime would still continue for however long it would take to do something about them, not to mention that not all of the crime is due to the homeless so that effort would end up doing very little.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And, in Newsom's case, not being able to come up with any original ideas means you have to copy others.

"There never was a Bible for sale. This was intended to mock Trump and his merch efforts."

Can you cite this please? Every search I'm doing on Google and Bing say this is real. His mocking is in the parodies of the items, not in that he is just putting superficial items up for sale to mock.

And, if it is true, it's hilarious how liberals demonize a rich guy for getting more rich by selling merch but then when a rich liberal does it, it's "mocking". Newsom did this to make money, that's it. You can spin it however you want and add in whatever political bias that helps your narrative but this is just another money grab by a rich person. I'm good with it because I enjoy Capitalism but liberals are only being hypocrites by supporting this.

Wow. Now this is indicative of liberals listening and reading comprehension and logic being so terrible that it hurts our country. He is saying that liberals are saying that Reps like a dictator and that's why so many are supporting him.

If you can't understand that, please do a Billy Madison and go back through all of your grade school years again. Which is surprising since so many DR libs are either still in grade school or just graduated (based on the comments I read on here).

I'm actually shocked at how much propaganda you liberal kids are willing to accept as long as it matches your narrative. I didn't think I could be shocked anymore on this forum but damn, good job! For any liberal on here who knowingly supports this kind of article, all of the absurd, stupid propaganda you see coming from Reps is the exact same thing you are seeing here.

The other way to spin it is by saying, "Dems want anti-nationalism to be OK". As if spreading negatives about something doesn't have any downstream, negative impact. And before you actually agree with that, remember that Dems have fought for a long time to get language restricted because of the downstream, negative impacts...even going so far as to cancel people's entire lives over it.

Really hilarious to watch liberals squirm when their hypocrisy is thrown so hard in their face that they can't ignore it like other topics. The amount of excuses liberals have so far in this thread alone is striking. Someone even made the sarcastic statement that it's only OK to be gay if you are Republican. But you liberals are actually saying it's not with your sarcasm and excuses. YOU are the ones who are demonizing being gay because of party affiliation, not accepting that there are gay people on the other side of the aisle. This isn't a one time trend either, there are articles that have been linked on this very site about how terrible it is that there are women Reps, as if it's only OK to be a woman if you are a Dem.

If liberals didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards.

Additionally, this comment board is proving that liberals don't even know what the Rep's argument is about. The Rep argument is that the government should not be in the business of treating ANY group of people favorably over another strictly because of race, gender, sexual affiliation, etc. But any time they pass a law to prevent as such, Dems fight against it and are in favor of discrimination based on race, gender, etc. I'm not saying which is right or wrong, I'm just stating the reality of the situation. And yes, Reps do go overboard in some of their responses as if every...single...issue can be broken down into some kind of woke topic.

Considering you DR lib kids completely ignored the plethora of lies and misstatements made by Biden and other prominent Dems, it stands to reason that Dems aren't every believed either. So we have 2 sides who can't be believed...and wala, American politics. Glad some of you are finally realizing how bad it is. Just wait until you realize this has been going on for decades.

This is a direct result of defunding local authorities. Not the act of doing it but the propagation of the ideology that it's better to defend criminals than it is to defend victims. I'm not saying this EO is right or wrong, just saying that cause and effect is always part of the equation. Trump wouldn't have to bring in anyone to curb crime if crime were contained. But liberals have been fighting for several years now to allow crime to flourish, even supporting and encouraging crime that is liberally slanted. Again, not saying that is right or wrong since it is purely opinion based, just saying cause and effect are very real.

How is America ever going to survive when the two parties in control have one side offending the rule of law and the other side completely ignoring the rule of law?

All while we see some major nations doing things to curb tourism and make it more containable.

But let's not let new data impact your bias, amirite?

"My own wife, who is Latin and an American citizen, did not even wish to visit as she fears nazis grabbing her off the street because she is Latin."

Kind of like many people being afraid to use their free speech rights because they are scared liberals are going to cancel their entire lives.

Pick a topic and I can illustrate how it negatively impacts people. But the saddest part overall is how partisan people invoke Godwin's Law to actually equate opinionated stances as being nazi-like. Just because you don't like how something is being governed doesn't mean it's akin to rounding up millions and killing them in atrocious ways. To even suggest as such only illustrates your EXTREEEEEEEEME privilege and entitlement.

If you are a liberal and read this and think this is good, you have problems. When a Rep writes a cookie-cutter article just like this one (which happens every time a Dem gets POTUS just like this guy is doing), and Reps read it and think it is good, they have problems. Very little in this article is not bias spin. I'll give one example even though I know it won't help the DR lib kids on here who have no ability to be objective.

"What happened to the proud proclamation that America is this great melting pot, where there is opportunity to build a better life for anyone who dares to seize it?"

What happened to the melting pot is an easy answer. First, you have to understand what it actually meant when it was coined. It meant that no matter where you come from, in America you would reform into the American culture and America would enable this for you, and your inclusion would make America a more tolerant country for different cultures. Our laws and freedoms allow you to join this country and become part of it. So, where did that start going wrong? Well, the Jim Crow era caused a lot of changing of opinions but didn't necessarily destroy the meaning of melting pot. It wasn't until cancel culture became a thing, 100ish years after the term "melting pot" was coined, where it changed the very dynamic of what melting pot means in America. Liberals no longer consider America a melting pot but refuse to accept what they have turned America into (which I'm not saying is bad or good in any way, it's just a change). Liberals don't want migrants or even Americans with any kind of identity other than European to meld into an "American culture". What they want is for every culture to be individualized, recognized, and unimpaired. Nothing wrong with that but that's not what a melting pot is. A melting pot means everything melts together into a new, inclusive entity. Liberals are VERY against that ideal. They want cultures to stay independent and be recognized as not being American. For a couple years, it got to a point where extreme liberals were actually demonizing people who cooked tacos or other ethnic food. Liberals started shouting cultural appropriation as a bad thing for every little thing so that people are scared to enjoy other cultures and bring them into one American culture. That isn't a melting pot. That is a bunch of people living around each other for convenience (meaning they want a better life so don't stay in their country but migrate to America). Now, if America hadn't lost its ability to compromise, this wouldn't be a bad thing. All those cultures could work together to shape America into a better place. But that isn't what is happening. All that's happening is cultures trying to stay as independent from America as possible and liberals helping them do it. Again, not a bad thing if that is your ideology. But don't complain about losing our melting pot and the great ideals of what a melting pot can be when your actions are directly contradictory to being a melting pot.

Meh, same ideologies as always. Some people (cons) want everyone to be on their own regardless of people who may need a little help and some people (liberals) want mommy and daddy to run their lives because they don't want to give any effort.

Neither side is going to agree and since America lost the ability to compromise shortly after the Constitution was signed, we will never get anywhere in this discussion.

This is just illustrative of American politics. We can seem to only have two responses these days...1) Biden's "ignore and hope everything just goes away" or 2) Trump's "destroy and hope America gets what it wants".

And voters on both sides seem perfectly content supporting this.

"...not surprised that none here are lauding Canada caving in on Trump's tariff negotiation."

It's a shame so many people have to spread hate instead of accepting reality. The reality is that Canada had a huge advantage in trade with the US. Their leaders' job is to ensure Canada continues to have huge advantages. But negotiations tend to even things out, especially when the other side is so much more powerful than you are. Canada didn't cave, they fought as hard as they could to keep whatever advantages they could and are now accepting of the terms because they know they can't get any better. Canada did a great job in the negotiating; they would have come out a lot worse had they either said no or accepted Trump's first terms.

This is how most of the tariff deals went with countries who had the ability to keep some of their trade advantages with the US. They don't just accept the first terms.

I guess since it's only DR lib kids on here you haven't hit an age where negotiations matter. But don't worry, you will. And hopefully you can take some of these lessons with you. Don't accept the first offer when you have ways to negotiate. And don't say no when the only thing you are trying to placate is your ego/pride.

Same place all those liberals went when their leader showed very clear signs of dementia. They ignore the topic and try to deflect. Easy answer. Next.

Silicon Valley is in CA, the state that is a victim sanctuary and many of their cities cling to that status so it's not even arguable. It's not very surprising at all that even the rich of CA are going to act like victims. That's the CA culture, why expect anything else?

Finally!!! I'm so happy they are starting to realize that when you survive only because you have daddy to run to, it's not going to last forever. Reps have been waiting for Dems to finally realize this. Please, for the love of country, continue down the road until you get to a point where your entire survival is only dependent on Federal defense. Everything else can and should be done at the state level. That's how this country was founded and how Reps want to govern.

Now, all we can hope is that, during the transition, you don't inherit the greediness of Reps because typically when you have to start actually fending for yourself, you can start to get greedy because you know there aren't many safety nets. You don't want to help people as much because you are busy trying to make sure your situation is sustainable.

Man, all of these lessons that liberals can start learning now is exciting! Before they were too close-minded and hiding in their "everyone can have everything they want at all times" reality of unicorns and rainbows to ever learn things in actual reality. But it seems maybe some minds are open. And, it's not a bad thing everyone. Just change your ideologies in a smart way so you don't end up like Reps.

Unfortunately, I have a lot of doubts that will happen considering politicians are in play here.

This is EXACTLY what happens in countries where politicians become soft on crime and allow criminals to prosper like liberals are doing in America. Mexico is our closest example...places like Cancun are heavily patrolled to ensure not much crime happens there so it doesn't impact tourism dollars, but the crime only exists because the Mexican government became cushy with the criminals like liberals in America are doing today. So the US has to start doing this to ensure tourism dollars aren't threatened because half the country wants anarchy. This is very much common sense based on reality. Trying to say otherwise only makes you prove how terrible at logic you are.

"All I know is, should a democrat have proposed such legislation, republicans would be losing their minds."

Nope, sorry, you can't use what ifs. Liberals demonize cons for doing it all the time so there is no way liberals can do it without looking like hypocrites (I have my doubts these days over whether or not being a hypocrite actually bothers liberals, though).

That being said, you are 100% right :-)

It's hilarious watching liberals try to squirm to hide their support of a guy who has dementia. If age-related problems are an issue for you, DON'T SUPPORT THEM WHEN IT IS ON YOUR SIDE. I don't know how often this needs to be said until people actually stop being hypocrites but my guess is it won't stop and America will continue to devolved because of it.

Thank God it's at the state level though! So happy our country finally caught up to the intent of the Constitution.

"Yesterday I thought Texas should just secede already, I now believe it should be walled off before its diseased thinking infects surrounding states."

That solves nothing. It's like Reps saying California should secede...as if there isn't just going to be another state that takes their place on the political spectrum. Get rid of Texas and the next most right-leaning state becomes your problem. Because your problem isn't any one state, it's anyone who has a different opinion and narrative than you. And that should be discouraged more than trying to encourage silencing everyone whose opinion you don't like.

I don't know about a sin but it does cause problems. We have liberals caring more about someone who rapes someone than the person who is raped. We have cons caring more about how big their pockets are instead of how much they can use their pockets to help others.

"Republicans are simply going through a generational awakening where they take their hoods off and show you who they've always been."

Um, Dems started the "hoods" and still hides behind them today except now they switched to fighting against women's rights, American citizen's rights, etc. just like they did in the early 1900s. You should learn your history before trying to spread hate.

So Trump's strategy is working then, which is awesome to hear. Companies in America will see it's lucrative again to produce goods long since left behind because it wasn't worth producing given imports were cheaper. Thus, more people hired in America. Thus, more money being made and spent by those being employed. Thus inflation cools. Considering Reps are much better with logic than Dems and the 1-2 year blip that is needed to make the tariff strategy actually work was already part of the plan, all this article is doing is validating the strategy is working. We need to go through Trump's whole term to determine if the strategy works. And Reps can't blame Dems for trying to block everything, Reps do the same to Dems. It's just part of the fight both sides have to go through.

Oh, and it gives every company a finger to point when their companies lose money because of their own incompetence. But liberals are defending them now when they used to vilify the rich. That was an unintended and not predicted aspect of the tariff increases, though.

Comedy, by FAR, creates more opportunities for actors to be canceled or be given negative attention on social media. So you have to use already-popular people that have a very low chance of being canceled in order to have a truly successful comedy these days. Why would someone with a stellar reputation and big, fat paychecks chance being in a comedy that offends someone?

Cookie cutter article. The amount of cookie cutter articles just like this written by Reps during Biden's tenure was annoying and, of course, liberals are going to stay in lockstep.

Dems have fought for decades now to make living off of government cheese more lucrative and fulfilling for many people than actually getting jobs.

"If I were a doctor I would not accept a job where the Executive can fire me at any time for no reason, like Trump and DOGE do."

The argument still stands then, is it better to hire people to do very little and waste taxpayer money or is it better to not have the position exist because it's not needed and saves taxpayer money. I'm not saying either way is right, personally I think having jobs is better than not but then you have to consider the taxpayer ramification with the absurd amount of debt we are already in.

Also, and this is the biggest part of liberal hypocrisy, you fight so much for socialized medicine when all that does is enable MORE people than just the POTUS to be able to fire you for whatever reason they want.

This is the lack of ability to see more than 2 days ahead that so many people have. Something sounds good but they don't actually consider the long-term ramifications.
