US Political News and Trump’s China visit

Given Newsom's tenure in California, none of that is going to happen.

Remember back when AZ Gov. Jane Hull stood up to Obama and wagged her finger at him? The next big wildfire we had, Obama refused disaster funds for fighting the fire.

Most people don't care what Newsom thinks. He's a panderer and will say whatever it takes to get elected.
You’re right Newsom hasn’t gone a great job in California, but elections, with large turnouts by low information voters may pivot on “vibes”; remember “Hope and change”. Hopefully both parties do real work, present real sustainable platforms and we get good choices come 2026 and 2028.
 
That's the problem. Both sides rely on low information voters.

I'm not counting on there being any good choices. Career politicians and the establishment will make sure of that.

You don't need to do a great job to get elected; all you need is the illusion that you are doing the work. In fact, what Trump shows us is that you don't even need a plan to do what you said you would do to get elected.

And we have to blame ourselves for this. Because we no longer use our brain to try to figure out what is good for us, instead the majority of us is just listen to the digested opinion and relying on that to make our decision, and then where those "opinions" come from does not help at all.

As a 2000s gamer will say, it's all hype and no substance.

I love this line from Zohran’s inauguration speech ongoing, in Urdu, told to him by a Pakistani-American New Yorker: People’s hearts have changed; logon ke dil badalgyehe.

What would you expect?

Didn't I read not too long ago she is a 43 year old woman who was still living at home with her parents? In other words, clueless.
