California Democrats Advance Plan to Cut Out GOP House Seats in Retaliation

California Democrats Advance Plan to Cut Out GOP House Seats in Retaliation
The California Assembly moved on Thursday to start the process to redraw the state’s Congressional districts in retaliation for Texas Republicans gerrymandering their state to try and net five additional House seats – at the behest of President Donald Trump. The state legislature passed the first of three bills that will try and redraw California’s districts to more favor Democrats.

The funniest thing about Gavin Newsom's online trolling is that, until now, trumpers looked at trump's ridiculous tweets and thought they were awesome, "make libs cry, yay," and his moronic "trump-as-Superman" memes and said "ooh, MAGA," until Newsom showed them how STUPID they look. 

And now they're all "Oh, he's copying, not funny."

It's truly hilarious.

Keep it going. - mmpadellan

Here's A Gut Punch

President Donald Trump celebrated his “TOTAL VICTORY” in the New York fraud case that originally saw him ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties on Thursday.

Last year, Trump was ordered to pay $354 million after Judge Arthur Engoron determined he had committed fraud by overstating his own wealth to lenders and insurers. By this year, that figure had increased to $515 million with interest.

But on Thursday, a New York appeals court found that the imposed monetary penalty was “excessive” and threw it out.
