Yes, I seem to remember that he missed the 75th Anniversary celebration of D Day in France because it was raining, but then it wasn't all about him, so what do you expect?
Good point about it being all about him...i guess he'll have to decide which is more important--keeping the dyed ball of goat hair on his head dry or celebrating himself..
When will someone point out that Trump himself has referred to "paid agitators" in the crowds? He's admitting that those rioters dressed in black with masks are not part of the peaceful protest but are there to cause trouble and get attention away from the peaceful and on to the violence. So who would be paying those "paid agitators"? The guy who wants to justify sending in the troops? And he's even admitted it. Even if they are not all plants by this regime to stir up violence, it's a very good chance that they are MAGA vigilantes and J6 and Proud Boy types that want to make the peaceful protesters look bad. Let's magnify that message please!
Definitely keep following any concrete trail that might substantiate our suspicions. It would be so sweet to prove this "bad actors" possability.
It is possible, however, that those deliberately causing chaotic and seemingly random destruction of property were simply doing what some people think of as entertainment, taking selfies for bragging rights and so forth. We saw that behavior clearly during some of Portland OR's BLM videos. As for the possibility that pay was involved, those proud boy types are motivated by trying to make others look bad more than their own financial gain.
See what information you can get about third party mischief that might be out there; it may take a while to surface.
You are 100% correct, Karen! He is paying them because he wants an excuse to call a "national emergency" and then enact martial law! That has been his plan all along. Also, it is important to note, he is going after blue states and we all know why. This is his revenge term and he hopes to make all of us Democrats, Independents and some republicans pay for not liking him!
I would be so honored, Nancy! I can see myself as they cart me of to jail, "I would like to thank every American who emboldened me to call that sleaze-bag what he is for this high honor!"
Nothing Trash and Company do surprises me anymore! If people were paying any attention before the election they would have known what this POS is about!😬😬😬😡😡😡🤡🤡🤡
It was all spelled out if you any intelligence at all. One of my son’s best comments has been” why would anyone vote for a man with 6 bankruptcies to run our country. Loser business man
ICE & all the terrorists attacking protesters are pardoned J6ers. That's what happens when seditionists don’t get the death penalty. Next round they need to receive what they deserve.
I agree, Dr. Lovely, and say that Gov. Newsome and AOC displayed the courage to speak truth to the ill begotten power of the chief despot. With drumpf it's all spectacle and no substance. He is the head arsonist of our present dystopian state. You keep expanding the good news that is bad for the monster every day, Scott. Like every despot he will fall, and with our increased efforts let it be soon.
Yes, Dennis, it's just a matter of how much damage they will do in the meantime, and how much we'll have to spend cleaning up their mess. Like after the first Trump administration.
Newsom, no matter what some people may think of him, is absolutely meeting the moment as he should. We are in a dictatorship now. We must find a way out of this....
And wasn’t he talking to Joe Rogan or something? What an idiotic thing to do I lost my trust in him for that stuff, but he is doing the right thing right now.
Last night was Newsom at his best. Proud to be a Californian. Everything he said was correct. Protest trumf and his over reach or we continue to be in big trouble.
Trump in 2025 - Making Gavin Newsom Great Again! I am thrilled to see Newsom meeting the moment like this with immediate social media responses calling out the lies and the strong speech last night. I hope Democrats everywhere are paying attention - this is what the voters want to see.
Be careful out there! Trump most likely, in my opinion will be sending the felons, that he pardoned into protest groups to start havoc so he can send in the military against American citizens. Be prepared, Be peaceful and God Bless America!
I will have to find it to listen to it. I am sure it was eloquent and inspired. My thoughts are that, surprisingly I feel less anxiety, dread, and fear than I ever expected. I feel more determined than anything that this living embodiment of Principal Greedyguts of Jacob TwoTwo fame will be defeated. I am resolved that these Neanderthal MAGA will not succeed! No Kings! No Fascists!
I am so proud of the Americans who are standing against TACO and his evil minions. This is democracy in action and we won't stand for TACO. I suppose I will be buying from Walmart. Thank you to Christy. All of this is so encouraging.

Gavin Newsom is an articulate, educated, charismatic man who demonstrated strength and leadership-everything trump lacks
For sure Judy!
I guess that's why tRUMP hates him so badly!
👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯
Absolutely!
I agree he is what is needed from everyone now!
True! But I'd still endorse Buttigeg for president over Newsome
Agree-but, he’s pushing back for his state and that’s what’s needed at this moment
Read there's a 70% chance of rain in DC this Saturday. Looks like nature's protesting too!
Weather is always so odd in DC, but one would hope it downpours for sure Noel!
Oh please, let it pour! C'mon Mother Nature, show your displeasure, too!
yes, come on rain...POUR DOWN!!
May there be a hailstorm….
Some lightening in the right places would be interesting too!
😄👍🏼
Awesome if nature would “rain on his parade.” See what I did there? Anyway, hope it pours. ✊🇺🇸😎
I hope the Lord delivers a rainstorm.
Maybe damaging winds and hail
Maybe tRUMP will be so scared of his hair getting wet that he won't show up or better yet, will cancel the parade!!
Yes, I seem to remember that he missed the 75th Anniversary celebration of D Day in France because it was raining, but then it wasn't all about him, so what do you expect?
Good point about it being all about him...i guess he'll have to decide which is more important--keeping the dyed ball of goat hair on his head dry or celebrating himself..
A little black cloud just above TACO man and his henchmen’s heads. With fork lightening and torrential rain.

I am definitely looking at this Karen!

I agree--I wonder who's paying these agitators who are NOT part of a peaceful protest? Let us know what you find out, Scott!
You are 100% correct, Karen! He is paying them because he wants an excuse to call a "national emergency" and then enact martial law! That has been his plan all along.

This is his revenge term and he hopes to make all of us Democrats, Independents and some republicans pay for not liking him!
Be careful Peggy, dump might decide to say he's "very disappointed in you". Think of all the famous people you'd be among.
I would be so honored, Nancy! I can see myself as they cart me of to jail, "I would like to thank every American who emboldened me to call that sleaze-bag what he is for this high honor!"

Narcissists will always accuse you of what they are actually doing themselves! I know from experience.
Gayle, that is the Fascist republican technique for sure!
For hire by T😡
ABSOLUTELY!!
You're probably right!
Here are some really good resources on de-escalation and other techniques for a safe protest:

ICE & all the terrorists attacking protesters are pardoned J6ers. That's what happens when seditionists don’t get the death penalty. Next round they need to receive what they deserve.
AOC and Newsom are spot on in their reframe of what’s going on in the world.
They sure are Dr. Lovely!

*** Like every despot he will fall, and with our increased efforts let it be soon. ***
From your lips to God's ears!
But we can't get imparient and give up!!!
Yes, Dennis, it's just a matter of how much damage they will do in the meantime, and how much we'll have to spend cleaning up their mess. Like after the first Trump administration.
Newsom, no matter what some people may think of him, is absolutely meeting the moment as he should. We are in a dictatorship now. We must find a way out of this....
He sure is. I personally hated the Bannon thing for sure.
And wasn’t he talking to Joe Rogan or something? What an idiotic thing to do I lost my trust in him for that stuff, but he is doing the right thing right now.
I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but you may be interested in this recording of a substack live from the other day:

It is great to see Alicia
It was great! I was glad he spoke up right away.
Yes, indeed: A GRAND SLAM!!
Just shared Newsome 's speech to 10 people 👏
Awesome Edie!
Same here Margot
Be careful out there! Trump most likely, in my opinion will be sending the felons, that he pardoned into protest groups to start havoc so he can send in the military against American citizens. Be prepared, Be peaceful and God Bless America!
👌💯💯💯💯
Stay vigilant and remain peaceful for sure Sylvia!

I’m shocked about the Walmart ad!! Wow, that’s significant! Proud of Governor Newsom, he is meeting this terrible situation very well!
He sure is Teresa

It was good to hear Newsom’s speech as it demonstrates we do have a working opposition to Trump
For sure Georgia!
