View Full Version : Trump opposition sets up blue-state Headquarters.
California and New York emerge as centers of the Democratic resistance......
With the national Democratic Party in disarray, the outline of the Donald Trump resistance is taking shape far from Capitol Hill, with New York and California emerging as the East and West Coast headquarters of opposition to the incoming administration.
Officials and advocacy groups in the two Democratic strongholds are plotting how to use the power of state law enforcement agencies, municipal regulations, and regional bully pulpits, and they’re assembling a wide-ranging apparatus of political opposition that they hope will slow the Trump agenda.
In California, the state legislature has hiredformer U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to serve as the tip of its legal spear as it prepares for an assault on Trump’s efforts to roll back Barack Obama’s government — a fight that will be led by longtime Congressman and House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, who has returned to the state to serve as the equivalent of a wartime attorney general.
Trump’s home state of New York is likewise a hive of anti-Trump activity.
“We are independent, we have tremendous powers under the American federalist system,” he said. "The government of the United States was set up very much with the understanding that states were to be a protective layer, to protect overreach from the newly-created federal government.".....snip~

They are setting themselves up as the opposition.....kind of like the Syrian Rebels. Trump can outsmart them by replacing all those liberal and illiberal Judges on the lower Courts. Then go after the leftist Governor and Mayors.
Its like the Demos want to go to war without declaring War. Lets give them what they want.....then within 90 days. They can seek refugee status in Europe and Canada and whoever else will take them.
What do you think those on the Right can do......to make life miserable for these cowards?

This isn't about Trump.....this is about your kind taking the Title of Opposition and setting up HQs in California and NY.....like the Syrian Rebels did in Syria.
They left out Chicago since they knows its about larceny and corruption. So they didn't want their opposition to be pulled down so quickly.
