FOX: We’re active with Iran—how do you get out? El-Sayed: You don’t get in in the first place. We had an agreement that had contained nuclear weapons. We did not need to do this, so the first time the dunce got elected he pulled back on the agreement.

I'm convinced Newsom isn't running for President at all. Sure, he might have a committee and use it as a slush fund, but he's running to be appointed to corporate boards and fake think tanks and stuff. Just too many examples of him going out of his way to show he's not aligned with the Dem base.

The 2A clause that supposedly gives inalienable gun rights doesn't even exist. It's made up nonsense, a few words that got deliberately and diabolically twisted to mean all sorts. The US is beyond stupid. But even if it did exist, so what ?? Change it FFS. It's wrong and utterly immoral.

If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless
