Ahh, one of those San Fransisco hippie types...
I take it you think deadheads are low-lifes. Sorry if I don't check every box on your bias.

You know Steve Jobs, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are all dead fans. But then, so is Ann Coulter... So I don't think there's an actual type set in stone.

Wait, states' rights are no longer a thing now?
Please show we’re a state has the right to defy the Federal Government and not pay taxes.

Oh, you like the potholes... I bet you love the sight of spray paint all over the neighborhood too, don't you? Home sweet home.
Eh you gotta take the good with the bad. Potholes suck but it’s car ownership with few or no alternatives that’s the real drag.

It is home sweet home to me. There’s no where else I’d rather live.

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.
California gives the fed more in taxes than the fed gives back. If Trump decides to stop funding all state school for a difference in policy that should be handled at the state level, California has a right to pull taxes.

As far as stopping grant funding, I don't think Trump has as much authority as he thinks and still needs Congress to back him up.

I give California more in state taxes than California gives me back.

...Does that mean I should go exempt on my state tax form and just keep that money? Just like the governor wants to do with the feds?

Do you think the president has the right to refuse to distribute funds that were appropriated and allocated by Congress simply because he in his majesty decided to change policy?

I think we call this the false equivalence fallacy. One statement is unrelated and independent to the other.

Unrelated? *_* The OP article states that the one is being considered as the direct consequence of the other.

^_^ Yes, a false fallacy as the equivalence is real. ^_^

Why?
No Democrat needs to justify breaking federal law anymore.
Didn't you get the memo?

Nobody has to hold anyone accountable.

It has been modeled for us and we accept the new reality.

Step back and look at the executive branch ignoring and thinking it is more powerful that the judiciary branch, and repeat your words, "so much for democracy".

Step back and look at the GOP congress writing legislation to remove power from the courts simply because of the above, and repeat your words, "so much for democracy". Your concern is real, your point of contention way off.
America was never meant to be a democracy but a republic. But we do symptoms of that with all the mayhem In the streets as with the French Revolution and many others after . And so it continues All in the name of democracy : )

Oh, this one again. :sigh: The US is both a republic AND a representative democracy.

When the Executive Branch behaves lawlessly, denying people their rights and due process, our very republic is threatened. #NoKings is about saving our republic.

Daisy Day yes that again. When thinking upon allowing 20 million illegals due process within the court system well that might take like forever and let’s not forget the cost factor. I guess you’re ok with legal citizens being raped, robbed molested and murdered by illegals. Many of whom belong to notorious criminal gangs, drug cartels from other countries. Maybe it’s about time you started thinking upon the rights of your own citizens and not about illegals
