Right after Trump was inaugurated, wasn't there a meeting held on the west coast to determine how to handle Trump?
I seem to remember this meeting being held in CA with several other demoncrap state leaders being there as well as Kamala.
It was meant to be a coalition of some sort.
Makes me wonder if this is their plan to use these activist judges on every thing.
OMG!!
Doubtful.
Only one would make them angry, thus they come back with intensified 'judgements'.
Would have to do at least 5 to get it through their thick heads, and to make them so scared, they refuse to do what their handlers want.
If they want him bad enough, SF can extract his ass.
Awwww, poor wittle demoncraps didn't get to add any monies to their bank accounts this go around.
Mean while, repubs finally slapped the demons officially.
Send them to the Ukraine, they'll use them in THEIR army…kek
Even CNN is show demoncraps unfavorability.
CNN Poll: Dems' Favorability Rating Sinks to Record Low
https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/democrats-favorability-rating/2025/03/16/id/1203028/

Democrats' favorability ratings sank to a record low in the latest CNN poll released Sunday.
Opposing the popular-vote winner in President Donald Trump, obstructing his agenda and efforts to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse, and threatening to shut down the government by rejecting their own President Joe Biden-era spending levels in a continuing resolution did not sit well with registered Democrats and left-siding independent adults.
Even a majority of Democrat adults (52%) are saying the leadership of the party is taking things in the wrong direction.
That eye-popping poll result flips the majority that had sided otherwise eight years ago at the start of the first Trump administration, according to CNN.
Democrats' favorability has dropped 20 points since January 2021 when Biden first took office after Jan. 6, falling now to 29% – a record low dating back to 1992 when former President Bill Clinton came in to defeat sitting President George H.W. Bush. The Republican Party had held the White House for three full terms through former President Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush before Clinton was elected in 1992.
Democrats and Democrat-siding independents give their own leaders just 63% favorability, which is down from 72% in January and 81% at the start of the Biden administration.
Republicans are far more happy with their leaders, as 79% of Republicans and GOP-siding independents have a favorable view of Republicans.
House GOP Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has called Democrats "leaderless" and "rudderless," and those polled largely agree.
When asked who among Democrats "best reflects the core values" of the party (with no names and just a blank space to respond):
30% did not name someone.
10% said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris 9%.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 8%.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., 6%.
Former President Barack Obama 4%.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, 4%.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tied with many others at 2%.
"No one: That's the problem," one respondent wrote, CNN reported. "That's the problem."
The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from March 6-9 among 1,206 U.S. adults. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. In the Democrats' sub-sample of 504, the margin of error is plus or minus 5.0 percentage points.
Rubio: US Has Deported Hundreds of Venezuelan Gang Members to El Salvador

The United States has removed hundreds of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua using now-blocked authority from the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday.
"Hundreds of violent criminals were sent out of our country," Rubio said in a statement.
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said in a post on X that 238 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang had arrived in his country and were immediately transferred to a "Terrorism Confinement Center" for a one-year period that could be renewed.
Bukele said the U.S. had also sent 23 members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, including two high-ranking members.
President Donald Trump on Friday invoked the wartime Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization that has been linked to kidnapping, extortion, organized crime and contract killings.
The deportations took place despite a US federal judge granting a temporary suspension of the expulsions order, apparently as planes were already headed to El Salvador.
The precise timing of the flights to El Salvador is important because the judge issued his order shortly before 7 p.m. in Washington, but video posted from El Salvador shows them disembarking the plane at night.
El Salvador is two time zones behind Washington, raising questions about whether the Trump administration ignored an explicit court order.
"Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country," Bukele said Sunday morning on X, sharing a video of several men in handcuffs and shackles being transferred from a plane to a heavily guarded convoy.
Trump signed an order invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 on Friday, but it was not publicly announced until Saturday.
The wartime authority allows a president to detain or deport citizens of an enemy nation, and has been invoked only three times before – during major international conflicts, including World War I and II.
Bukele, in a meeting last month with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had offered to house prisoners from the United States in his country, including members of Tren de Aragua and Salvador's own MS-13 gang.
Mega-jail with windowless cells -
The iron-fisted leader is extremely popular in his Latin American country for a successful crackdown on violent gangs, but has faced criticism from human rights groups.
His offer to take in foreign convicts for a fee has divided Salvadorans, who fear it could set back the country's efforts to fight violent crime.
Bukele said the alleged gang members had been sent to the country's maximum security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a mega-prison on the edge of a jungle 75 kilometers (45 miles) southeast of San Salvador with capacity for 40,000 prisoners.
Inmates at the prison are packed in windowless cells, sleep on metal beds with no mattresses are forbidden from having visitors.
Wartime legislation -
Trump, in his order, claimed Tren de Aragua was "conducting irregular warfare against the territory of the United States both directly and at the direction, clandestine or otherwise, of the Maduro regime."
The statement gives Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi 60 days to enact the ruling making all Tren de Aragua gang members "subject to immediate apprehension, detention and removal."
The detention and expulsion order will apply to all Venezuelan Tren de Aragua members who are over 14 and not naturalized US citizens or lawful permanent residents.
The ACLU and an allied group, Democracy Forward, asked the US District Court in Washington to bar the deportations – arguing that the 1798 act was not intended for use in peacetime.
Judge James Boasberg on Saturday issued a 14-day halt to any deportation under the new order.
Bondi slammed the ruling, saying in a statement that it "disregards well-established authority regarding President Trump's power, and it puts the public and law enforcement at risk."
The El Salvador prison where the alleged gang members were sent already houses some 15,000 members of the MS-13 and rival Salvadoran Barrio 18 gangs.
They were rounded up under a state of emergency imposed by Bukele after a surge in gang violence in 2022.
Some are serving sentences of over 200 years.
Looks like you EU anons may be getting DRAFTED into mil service before too much longer.
Spurred by Trump Turnabout, European Nations Debate Conscription
https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/trump-europe-conscription/2025/03/16/id/1203006/

Frightened by the prospect of US security disengagement and three years of Moscow's war against Ukraine, European countries are debating reinstating compulsory military service to boost their defences in the face of Russian aggression.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 caught Europe off guard, and fears about the strength of NATO surged further after US President Donald Trump upended the transatlantic alliance, saying Europe must take care of its own security.
Both military analysts and European governments acknowledge that the threat of Russian aggression is real, today even more so than three years ago.
"The Russian military today is larger and better than on February 24, 2022. The Russians have hostile intent against the Baltic states and the EU's eastern flank," said Alexandr Burilkov, a researcher at the Institute of Political Science (IPW) at Heidelberg University.
According to a study Burilkov co-authored for think tank Bruegel and the Kiel Institute, Europe could need 300,000 more troops to deter Russian aggression, in addition to 1.47 million active-duty military personnel.
"Conscription would have to play a role in any such large numbers of new troops," he said.
From Paris to Warsaw, leaders have been looking to boost defence spending in the face of US threats to withdraw its European security guarantees.
But many countries, including France and Britain, have struggled with recruiting and retaining troops. Reintroducing some form of national service compulsory or voluntary might be even more difficult.
According to a YouGov poll, most people in France (68 percent) and Germany (58 percent) support mandatory military service for young people. Italian and British people are divided, while a majority of Spaniards (53 percent) are against it.
But studies also show that many Europeans are not prepared to defend their countries on the battlefield.
"In a liberal society, the imposition of military constraints has become nearly impossible to implement," said Benedicte Cheron, a French expert who studies links between society and the armed forces.
"As long as there is no invasion of the territory, accepting the political costs of imposing sanctions on those who do not comply with the call-up seems unthinkable."
What will she do next, if anything, about it?
