    Thus elevating Newsom’s profile than his own speech ever could. 

    I’m not crazy about it, but we’re getting a Newsom candidate because of this shit.

    Leader of the 4th largest economy in the world blocked from speaking at a global economic forum.

    So not only are they letting Trump fucking destroy the last bit of our international reputation after years pf immense patience by our allies towards him, they ate also ensuring Trump is the exclusive voice of the US? It is SO fucking important to show the world that there are TWO america’s and that we are struggling with a FASCIST TAKE OVER and potential CIVIL WAR OVER IT!!

    UK why aren’t you taking notes?? You are NEXT! I see the EXACT SAME WARNING SIGNS IN YOUR DOMESTIC POLITICS! This can and likely will happen to your country too!! France! Fucking Germany with AFD, whose leaders statements are even to their own supporters indistinguishable from hitler’s!

    Europe can trash talk us all day but i never see anyone just speak this simple truth. Or offer any sort of solidarity from democratic and liberal parties in the form of actual mutual cooperation and teamwork to combat this now critical threat.

    The far right has zero issues doing this and openly work together, MAGA and Hungary’s far right for example, Steve Bannon working with all those people.

    Why are liberal or centrist politicians so carelessly irresponsible, so averse, uninterested or scared to stop pretending this isn’t fucking happening and start speaking the truth!! I don’t care if you are going to get bullied for doing it!!!!! This is THE JOB YOU SIGNED UP FOR AND WE COILD LOSE EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF THEIR INACTION!

    They NEED doing the hard work of resisting PROPERLY and CLEARLY STANDING ON IDEOLOGY AND AGAINST PEOPLE BY NAME. And work together to start effectively fighting their propaganda campaigns with their own alternative offered vision of a future

    Any attempt to undermine him will be a gift to what will inevitably be his campaign in 2028. I’m not a Newsom supporter, but the more the Trump Administration lashes out at him, the better positioned he’ll be as a frontrunner heading into the primaries.

  5. What a fucking little orange coward.

    If we needed an indication that Drumph is frightened of a candidate, here it is.

    The responses from the people running our government are just so embarassing.. Like, is there literally ANY other professional job where you could get away talking like this? AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUR COUNTRY??

    *“No one in Davos knows who third-rate governor Newscum is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told The Hill.*

    *“Gov. Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than* [*Kamala Harris,*](https://thehill.com/people/kamala-harris/)*”* Bessent said.

    *“I was told he was asked to give a speech on his signature policies, but he’s not speaking.  Because what have his economic policies brought? Outward migration from California, a gigantic budget deficit,”* Bessent quipped about Newsom.

    *“The largest homeless population in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned down.”*

    If I talked like that about the servers back when I was bartending at Chili’s I’d have gotten fired.. It’s actually insane.

  7. Did he consider breaking the doors down or smashing the windows for some legitimate political discourse? I have it on good authority from the president that’s how patriots do things.

  8. “A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.” – Declaration of Independence

    Americans need to read their own Declaration of independence and see that Trump is no different than the Tyrant they were fighting to be free from. Trump supporters arent patriots, they are traitors to our democracy. Patriots should be fighting this tyrant. Just like the Declaration calls for.

  9. Did he try kicking the shit out of a few cops and wearing a funny hat? I hear that works wonders.
