FPM:
Governor Newsom is behind in the Most Loathsome Governor in America race, largely because he hasn’t managed to kill as many nursing home residents as rivals like Cuomo and Murphy. But here he is trying to take first responders hostage.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that the federal government has a “moral obligation” to provide funding for states in its next coronavirus relief bill, noting that police officers, health care workers and firefighters will be the first ones laid off as a result of massive budget deficits.
Really?
Cops and firefighters are the most expendable employees in California. Not the billion dollar homeless services infrastructure. Not all the social justice and diversity personnel. Not, for that matter, the vast useless corps of educational administrators.
I thought blackmail was illegal.
Oh, wait – that’s for individual persons.
Never mind.
So no CHP’s and no state park fire control?
Sounds like the tantrum of a 6 year old.
Trump will call his bluff.
Aunt Nancy has damn sure taught him the tricks of fleecing the taxpayers. They should both be shot at sunrise.
Right on time. Do it, see what happens. You will get the blame. Will your armed security be the first to hit the streets?
Didn’t think so.
Okay, I’m good with it. Fire them.
By the way douchebag, the federal government has a ZERO “moral obligation” to provide funding for states.
Their unions force them to vote for you commie cockbites anyway, so go ahead and see what happens!
The CHiPS boss should recall Noisesome’s security team.
It sure seems mighty stupid to piss off cops with guns, firefighters with axes, doctors with scalpels, and nurses with those stethoscopes which would make dandy garrotes.
Go ahead Gov. Do it.
Apparently, (obviously), the people are not going to stand up and stage the needed revolt until they suffer enough pain to do so. Eventually, “enough” will happen.
Every man(woman) has their breaking point. Otherwise….??
No cops and no firefighters in LA?
Has anybody seen the movie the purge?
The Rodney King Riots?
The New York Blackouts?
Good call Cali, fire the people that prevent the entire state from burning.
PS. You should also lay off all the hydro workers to save money on generating electricity and water workers.
Collapse-afornia, here we come,
Right back where we started from,
Collapse-afornia, here we come!
Do it.
Go ahead and furlough cops and keep overpaid diversity officers who shake down corporations.
When someone has a Rodney King Moment and the City comes unglued, you send in the Diversity cops to ‘Heal the City’
We’ll see how that goes
reminds me of ‘Blazing Saddles’ where Clevon Little puts a gun to his own head & yells, “Nobody move … or the nigga gets it!”
Newsome is playing w/ his own, potentially, blown-off head … he truly thinks anyone cares if he pulls the trigger
Standard ploy, since time began they threaten the ‘holy trinity’ of fire, police, and teachers, knowing it will elicit an emotional response from the citizens. All BS, designed to distract you from the actually useless employees and departments of the state.
Paying ILLEGALS, get them to put out the fires.
As to the cops, forget about it. They have become Newsome’s personal stazi to enforce his lockdown tyrannical rules. Let him feed them Aunt Nancy’s ice cream.
Sad to be a cop or firefighter in CA, but not any sadder than being a second class citizen, enslaved to support the commies, ILLEGALS, and Criminals allowed to run rampant, in a once wonderful state.
This is going to be worth the price of admission. Here’s about how this going to go down:

I’ll see your cops and firefighters and raise you nursing homes and orphanages.
Newsom trying a different angle here.
Quid-Pro-Quo Joe – “Fire the guy or you don’t get the money.”
Quid-Pro-Quo Gavin – “Give me the money or I fire the guy”
NYC doesn’t care if cops get masks, California is holding cops hostage for federal loot, but they both expect cops to drag people off the beaches. That doesn’t sound sustainable.
This asshole takes over news radio for about two hours everyday. He sure likes to hear himself talk. We usually let it play in the background at the shop. He must have said “It’s the Feds moral responsibility “ about 100 times. Wonder what happened to his moral obligation to our tax dollars.
He won’t cut the CHP. That’s his protection detail. The hospitals are full of medical professionals not paid by the state. He plans on hijacking the Fed money slated for the counties . He’s gonna teach us rural conservatives a lesson. More popcorn please.
Newsom is a shinning example of a small mind combined with political power.
Cunt. The definition, right there. The unrighteous use of personal power to damage innocent people in pursuit of personal gain against an otherwise uninvolved person.
Extorting the voters is the California way.
GIVE US MONEY or we’ll throw open the prison door, while we also have you essentially unarmed. How about THAT you miserly voters!?
I’m not seeing a downside here…
Go ahead. Fire them. Nobody else cares if you accelerate the decline of your state.
They’ll either vote you out for being stupid. Or all die from being stupid.
Either way it’s a win for everyone else.
Firefighters furloughed? Will this lead to more power companies shutting down their grids to be safe? Have to do all that we can to prevent brush/forest fires and loss of life.
It could be a long summer.
Don’t ya think you might be needing those two things with all the convicted felons you’ve released from behind bars under the guise of protecting them from the Wuhan Corona-virus?
Do it. I dare ya!
I double dirty dog dare ya!!!
“Buy this magazine or we’ll shoot this dog!”
Newsom is lifting an old National Lampoon cover.
It was funny the first time.
if aunt nancy’s nephew’s ploy actually works we are in deeper shit than we realize
Not a dime! Let the CA voters reap what they have sown. Same with NY, Illinois, etc
This is every Left state’s game plan. Coronavirus is the excuse to get a bailout that rescues them from decades of mismanagement.
Brought to you by the same people who said you shouldn’t bailout Boeing because they screwed up their last plane design.
child’s hissie fit over not getting his way; ignore him like the child he is.
*sigh*
here we go again
It’s a tired playbook, “Pass the school budget or we do away with busing and sports!”
So the state has enough money to give dollars to illegals, but not enough to pay firefighters and police. Uh, okay.
Your comments fell on deaf ears. Trump just gave San Fran $700 million.
California there I go
Back to the land of ice and snow
Where bowers of flowers
Are covered till spring
But leftard assholes
Dont run everything
A corn fed maiden says “Dont be late”
Thats why I dont hesitate
To just get on that Interstate
California there I go
