Pissing off public by way of reparations, there future taxes, is a strange way to ask for their votes. Next will be any man who ever slept with a woman after taking them out will be liable for pressuring them into submission.

So California should be held liable if any slavery was allowed in their state

I can’t take the cheesy hand gestures. It’s like he wants his listeners to be a bit distracted from what he’s actually saying. And, for me, it’s working. I literally can’t listen to the guy without laughing at his unruly hands the whole time.

I've always thought Newsom was a moron, but I really don't understand his political strategy, if he even has one. He's not doing anything to appeal to voters in the middle. Virtually everything he does or says seems directed at the absolute far left of the Democrat party IN CALIFORNIA. Maybe this is the product of existing in the most progressive of progressive bubbles, or he's being advised by 'political consultants' who are as bad as Spencer Pratt says they are.

First you must gut a structure before you can refurbish. Problem is they aren’t gutting it but rather trying to burn it down. There won’t be decent people to rebuild, just look at continents around the world for example of decaying countries.

The dems will use him to get the female vote and now, due to the blacks leaving the plantation, this policy to get a few to remain.

What a paper mache' puppet this moron is.

This is bullshite, but is this worse than states banning contracts with companies who boycott Israel? No government should intervene in the market in this way.
For someone who always demands responses stay within the boundaries of the OP, you sure do bring up whataboutisms a lot in other threads.

Wait....... isn't this kind of what Nick Shirley was doing? I mean, wasn't he also searching for the truth which would lead to accountability?

This is what they want. They want companies to sue so they can publicly paint them as trying to hide their past.

Since a landmark bill was passed unanimously in 2015, Illinois has barred its state retirement system from investing in foreign companies that engage in antisemitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. The bipartisan legislation made Illinois the first state in the nation to add an anti-BDS investment policy to its canon of anti-discrimination laws.

An additional 37 states went on to adopt similar measures – some almost word for word – with the same broad consensus.


That's from a huge pro-Israel outlet, so it's spun in the light most favorable to the laws

You aren't wrong but you could say the same thing about the entire national Democratic platform and they seem to be doing OK overall.

Bro you cannot stand when people do this and now you’re having side conversations about Israel in here.

How can you justify this?

None of this will hurt him nationally.

The media will make sure of it.

Newsom is retarded.

So a company that was founded in the 1920's has to research their company's ties to slavery, even though slavery was already illegal nationwide for around 60 years by that time.

California seems hell bent on doing everything in their power to drive big businesses to other states. Texas and Florida should give Newsom an award for how much business he drives to their states.
