If you actually had a government class in school and ever got anything approaching a passing grade, you know that State (and Federal also) government is divided into three branches.
WOW!!!!!! Newsom is dyslexic? i have friends who are dyslexic. very talented folks. Newsom taints the reputation of 'dyslexics' every-where. =( at the end of cycles, nothing makes any sense. chaos is the rule. California, since it's founding, has led on the way up, and the way down. d
California is an example what a single party controlled government looks like, and that’s exactly what the Democratic Party is trying to impose on the rest of the country.
Absolutely agree. That is why I am opposed to term limits - those selected to office are Merle acting at the direction of lobbyists and other funders. It is a nice idea, but it has to be self imposed, and we know the current crop will not do so. The only other way I can see is to get an initiative to defund the legislature and other offices. Per diem for days they show up to work for a minimum of 6 hours per day (basic meal allowance, hotel if not living within a 2 hour drive of the capitol), basic health coverage, no retirement contribution, no funding whatsoever after they leave office, code of ethics no gifts, gratuities from any source, etc. Two year budgets (other states do and don’t tell me California is too big to go that way). Basically, they are servants to we the people, not the other way around. California claims to lead the nation, let it lead in this fashion. Maybe it will rub off on the federal level. It is not a career. (I do miss Willy Brown - love him or hate him, he was effective and got things done.)
The odd thing is that it worked better when it was a career and folk stayed in the Assembly or Senate for 25 years. Now with term limits they are working always for the donors never the People.
That is true, and why I liked the way Willie got things done. Granted, I didn’t agree with his politics, but he was honorable and the system functioned. But at this time, there is so much corruption in the system, that I think it needs to be abolished and rebuilt.

Don’t we all remember the “we must pass the bill to find out what is in it” crap from Nancy Pelosi regarding Obama Care?
Yep!
And they will all somehow be re-(s)elected.

Yep. I mean there is no reason to move out of California Biden is working hard to catch up
