How quickly the media skipped over Trump's threat...

[kentuck]

...of having a Governor arrested!

It's the kind of dangerous talk that should not be ignored or skipped over.

He said that Homan should arrest him.

It is stunning at how much of these dangerous threats have been normalized.

[Sparkly]

1. Especially after all the Republican whining

about Biden "weaponizing" the government and its agencies!

[malaise]

2. He also threatened June 14 protesters

in advance

[kentuck]

3. In effect, he threatened our Constitution...

...which guarantees the right to peaceably assemble and free speech. That is what he is attacking.

4. They quickly realized that Newsom would LOVE that spectacle and they TACO'd.

[BonnieJW]

7. Oh wow!

I love the evolution of language. Now TACO is being used as a verb too!

[Silent Type]

5. Saw it discussed numerous times on CNN and MSNBC. There are also articles in WaPo and others.

9. Hey, stop injecting reality into DU rants about "Teh Media".

You know better!

[kentuck]

14. I saw it mentioned once or twice....

I haven't seen it mentioned today?

[Silent Type]

17. Here you go, WaPo at 10:40 am. "'Come and get me': Gavin Newsom has entered the meme war." link below.

‘Come and get me’: Gavin Newsom has entered the meme war
Locked in an online showdown with Trump, Newsom is styling himself as an internet-era champion of the left
June 11, 2025 at 10:40 a

". . . . . . .After Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, said in an interview with NBC on Sunday that he wouldn’t rule out arresting elected officials, including Newsom, if they “harbor … illegal aliens” or defy law enforcement, Newsom again shot back on TikTok: “Come and get me, tough guy. I don’t give a damn,” his personal account shared, alongside a clip of the governor speaking about Homan’s comments. . . . . .

. . . . . .Newsom’s approval ratings are already surging among potential voters in California, from 44 percent in October to 52 percent in March, according to data from the Public Policy Institute of California.

6. Homan isn't law enforcement and has no authority to arrest anyone for any reason

some media have pointed out that fact. More should do the same.

[mdbl]

8. Most media is worthless.

I just read the guardian.

[Magoo48]

10. With the corporate media, they must slip the truth in unobtrusively, offhanded, if it gets slipped in at all.

Spend too much time on the truth, you lose your job. Everything of substance is bent, manipulated, and underreported.

[KPN]

11. Yes, truly stunning.

[ReRe]

12. My 2 cents: The protesters should recite/chant the 1st Amendment

when heckled or needlessly threatened by officials.

And if a provocateur wreaks havoc, everyone chant "Pro-voc-ateur! Pro-voc-ateur! Pro-voc-ateur!" and continually point at him until officials apprehend him/her/it/them.

Hells bells. Why can't police be imbedded with the protesters?

[Mr.Bee]

13. It Amazes Me

What Everyone is letting him get away with!
There is NO loyalty to the Oath Of Office
in any of the branches that are supposed to be
a check on the Executive!
Will anyone ever stand up to him
before he throws you all under the bus??

[Klarkashton]

15. Trump is nothing but bullshit.

He's started a lot of ticking time bombs just like last time that will go off later on. We are in for a horrible rough ride after their big shit bill passes.

[twodogsbarking]

16. I read JFKs paper about fifteen years ago. Holy shit.

18. Trump has said/done hundreds if not thousands of things

That would have been political career-ending major news before he came on the scene.

I don't know exactly how or why he got special dispensation in the first place, but now his outrageous lies and misdeeds are so commonplace that they're barely newsworthy.

Like Steve Bannon said:
Flood the zone with shit.
