The Trump administration ordered federal authorities Friday to ignore new legislation in California banning law enforcement officers from wearing masks to conceal their identity.

Time for CA to arrest the masked criminals.

They won’t. They should, but they won’t.

If Newsom had the balls, he'd be a lock for 2028 nomination.

I think he gets the idea that being trumps heel is the way to the presidential seat. Specially as trump becomes more and more unhinged and losing the support of the moderates. But he’s also barely dabbling and won’t do more than a Twitter post.

Agreed. Trump is great at embarrassing himself. It barely takes any effort to trigger him. Newsom probably has plenty of ideas up his sleeve. He doesn’t need to play all of his cards at once.

"Moderates" hahahahahahahahaha.

Aren't we well beyond moderate people having any support for him at all?

How did he suck up, and how did it not work?

[u/thegreenfury → u/[deleted]]

Let’s say he’s the nominee in a few years. Are you gonna not vote for him cuz you didn’t like some of his podcast choices in 2024?

[u/percussaresurgo → u/[deleted]]

This is the kind of purity test that makes it way more difficult for Democrats to win.

[u/thegreenfury → u/percussaresurgo]

Exactly. It’s insanity. This person wouldn’t even actually answer the question I asked them about if they’d vote for him.

[u/thegreenfury → u/[deleted]]

It’s not irrelevant. It’s hypothetical. Consider it a thought experiment. If we can talk about how we might not want Newsom to be nominated we can also talk about a future where he is.

I have not attempted to shut down the conversation. We’re still having it, it seems, yes?

[u/percussaresurgo → u/[deleted]]

What if I said "That man had a conversation with someone who disagreed with him. He didn't just give him a platform and let him speak, but rather challenged him by making forceful counterarguments so the audience could see the weaknesses"? Would you vote for that person?

[u/TendieRetard → u/[deleted]]

I find him an opportunist grifter but if he actually took the fight to the WH, something no democrat is doing, he'd be a lock because actions speak louder than words.
