No, this Democratic governor thinks he is more powerful than the federal government and choose which law to follow or ignore

So much for Democracy
He just thinks he has more power than Trump to govern the private affairs of the people of the state. The Federal Government as a whole is not a part of this dispute.

As a Californian myself, I prefer Trump's governance over Newsom's.

All California governance provides is pot-holed roads everywhere, gay pride and my replacement by some illegal alien.

If I could, I wouldn't pay a dime of State taxes.

The struggle for American independence, encapsulated by the phrase "no taxation without representation," was a pivotal moment in history that resulted from escalating tensions between the thirteen American colonies and the British Crown.

If Governor Gavin Newsom indeed withheld federal taxes from the federal government due to President Trump's intention to cut funding in California, the matter will ultimately be presented before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is up to SCOTUS to determine what is legal and what is not.

I am not a legal expert, so I will defer to the Supreme Court on this issue. However, Gavin Newsom's actions reflect America's tradition. It may be illegal today, but it's part of America's foundation.

As a conservative, I disagree with many policies of California's liberal legislators. However, it remains the most successful state in the United States, and it is second only to New York in sending more money to the federal government than it receives.

California is a donor state, sending more money to the federal government than it receives. The U.S. has only eight donor states, while the rest are receiving states. For example, Oklahoma is a receiving state, getting more money from the federal government than it sends. This extra money comes from donor states like California.

But now federal government is telling Californians that their funds will be redistributed to other 42 states whose policies are favored, while California will face penalties due to its own policies. Although this action may be deemed legal by the Supreme Court of the United States, it does not align with the principles commonly associated with the American way.

Have you been replaced by an illegal alien? I know that s a real concern amongst many. Too bad Trump had to call off workplace enforcement. Many California workers who normally would vote for a Democrat voted for Trump because they thought he was in favor of workplace enforcement.

Yes, I've been replaced. It's why I fled to the north.

I’m a Californian and I prefer Newsom’s governance over Trump’s and guess what, a majority of voters in this state agree with me and not with you. You’re the outsider here.

What’s that line y’all love to use? “If you don’t like it here, you can leave”?

Just the way we like it.

I bet you love the sight of spray paint all over the neighborhood, don't you? Home sweet home.
Sometimes if it is artfully done it's OK, but what's really great is the street food. What part of the state do you live in?

I spent over 20 years in the greater Los Angeles area. Now I live in the San Francisco Bay area.

I was born in the Bay Area and lived and worked there until I was in my 50's. My son lives there still, in the Fruitvale neighborhood of Oakland.

lol History is important. The republican party was not founded until 1854 do the claim that the GOP stole the seat in 1852 is patently false.

We can argue the Garland nomination if you wish but it is not cut and dry,

Further, there was no stacking of the Supreme Court so the argument remains moot.
If that is what you got from that search link, I don't know what to say.

I won't step foot in East Bay. If it's not Peninsula or North Bay, I'm out.

What turns you off about it? I spend several weeks a year out there, and like the Fruitvale area. Really diverse. The Thai who owns the Mexican grocery on the corner lets the Afghan food truck stay in his parking lot. The whole neighborhood is like that, but the street food is largely Central American.

I'm turned off by the culture, and the high rates of poverty in the general East Bay area. Though I'll admit it haven't been to Fruitvale.

I like people with high aspirations in life, and anything sophisticated or things that inspire me to become better than what I am. You know, good vibes type stuff.

If Trump wants to stop finding California, why should California fund Trump? They could use the money in state.
Comprehension is so vital.

Trump threatens to stop grant funding because the schools are not protecting a specific race.

He has the authority to do so.

Governor Newsom does not.

Time for California to stop acting like it's a country. Newsom doesn't have a leg to stand on compared to the full power of the United States.
Wait, states' rights are no longer a thing now?
