31. So what do you believe the Governor of California

should be willing to "give" Trump? You got ideas to share? Or you just advising general capitulation in advance?

Newsom is already waiving environmental regulations on reconstruction before the fires are even under control. Want him to do what else?

One thing I do want all Democrats in Congress to give is an assurance that should the GOP fuck over California and attach strings and restrictions on aid to fellow citizens in need, that unlike Joe Biden's constant turning the other cheek, there will be a reckoning. South Carolina and Florida will no longer be assured unlimited, seemingly annual aid, for those whose homes continue to be washed away. Texas and it's half assed power grid can figure out its own way out of winter blizzards.
