      XPost: alt.barnyard, alt.politics.trump, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-insurrection@mail.house.gov              (The Center Square) - California Gov. Gavin Newsom is visiting President       Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. to seek wildfire relief funding just       after the state legislature passed bills to fund lawsuits against the       Trump administration and deportation defense of illegal immigrants in a       Newsom-called “Trump-proofing” special session.              Trump has said he supports placing conditions on California wildfire aid,       including the adoption of voter identification laws and better water       management, and announced that he is seeking a federal investigation into       the state’s high speed rail program.              “I want to see two things in Los Angeles. Voter ID, so that the people       have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come       down into Los Angeles and throughout the state,” said Trump while visiting       North Carolina communities devastated by Hurricane Helene on his way to       Southern California.              In response to the coastal Southern California city of Huntington Beach       adopting a voter ID requirement for local elections, the California       legislature passed a ban on voter ID. While courts upheld Huntington       Beach’s law before the new state law took effect, the state has appealed       the ruling under the new law.              Speaking at the White House from the Oval Office, Trump also called for an       investigation into the state’s high speed rail program, which is now       estimated to cost over $100 billion to complete and was noted as being       significantly behind schedule in a new state report.              “The train that’s being built between Los Angeles and San Francisco is the       worst-managed project I think I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some of the       worst,” said Trump. “It’s impossible that something could cost that much.”              Newsom signed a $2.5 billion aid package for the Los Angeles area fires,       which are estimated to have caused hundreds of billions of dollars in       damage, making the fires the costliest natural disaster in American       history. Further federal aid could assist with accelerating the removal of       debris and rebuilding in the communities ravaged by the wildfires.              “This morning, I met with both Democratic and Republican members of       Congress to secure expedited disaster aid to recover and rebuild from the       Los Angeles firestorms,” said Newsom in a statement. “Our nation is better       off when we hold together and support our fellow Americans in times of       crisis.              Before Newsom’s trip, the California Assembly passed $50 million in       funding during a Newsom-called “Trump-proofing” special session for       lawsuits against the Trump administration and legal aid that largely could       go to deportation defense for illegal immigrants, highlighting the tense       relationship between the governor and the president.                     --       November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look       forward to America being great again.              The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and       eradicated.              We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that       stupid people won't be offended.              Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.              Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden       fiasco, President Trump.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
