why are they doing this? because they can. by republican standards we really should impeach trump. here are newsome's "crimes."
"Governor Gavin Newsom has violated the trust of California residents in four major areas:
Health care for illegal aliens. He seeks to make California taxpayers pay for the health care of criminal lawbreakers who entered our nation illegally at a starting cost of over $100 million. This policy will serve as a magnet to attract thousands more illegal immigrants to California which will lead to skyrocketing costs and additional burdens on physicians and hospitals.
Tax increases. Despite a massive budget surplus of $21 billion, he proposes more than $2 billion in additional taxes on the people of California, including a water tax. California already has the highest taxes in the nation which are driving away our best residents and businesses.
Homelessness. He has allowed our major cities to be overrun by homelessness, creating a threat to public health and hygiene and leading to Third World-like conditions and diseases in places like Los Angeles and San Francisco
Sanctuary State & Cities. He has violated and subverted federal immigration law by encouraging Sanctuary State and city policies that shield criminal illegal aliens from law enforcement and immigration authorities, including vicious and brutal MS-13 gang members. "

GOP doing the same to Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon under other wording?
I think the GOPs are going to use this in other states with Democratic Governors.
They probably see that governorships across the USA maybe trending Democratic.
Meanwhile, their effed master in the WH alongwith the GOPs are plugging the USA into a major recession/depression.

(19,255 posts)Being a Command Sergeant Major is no east feat. Tim is not the kind of person one can intimidate. His Congressional opponents found that out the hard way.
Republicans are cowards if they think they can intimidate duly elected Democratic Party Governors or those Democrats running for Governor.
