SACRAMENTO, CA — Gov. Gavin Newsom privately urged Attorney General Rob Bonta to stop trying to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger until after Newsom secures the Democratic presidential nomination, sources have confirmed.
Publicly, Newsom declared he was fighting to save California jobs.
Privately, aides clarified he was fighting to save California jobs just long enough for those workers to vote for him.
Bonta reportedly argued the merger threatened consumer choice, corporate competition, and the sacred right of twelve blue states to sue anything larger than a food truck.
Newsom countered that thousands of Hollywood layoffs would make his campaign slogan, “California Is Working,” difficult to photograph, and campaign photographers needed a cheerful factory backdrop.
The governor proposed the Temporary Economic Reality Suspension Act, allowing studios to remain open through the 2028 primary before resuming layoffs, tax hikes, blackouts, and mandatory diversity seminars.
Hollywood executives were offered temporary protection if every upcoming film included a Newsom cameo, three climate warnings, one villain named Donald, and no visible footage of boarded-up California storefronts.
Bonta reluctantly agreed to consider settlement after Newsom promised he could restart the lawsuit immediately following the convention.
As of press time, Newsom assured Californians their jobs were safe until the precise moment their employment stopped helping his poll numbers.
Newsome is an idiot. He thinks everyone is stupid. He thinks everyone believes his BS. He would sell his own mother to get what he wanted.
He hads ruined the state if CA now he wants to ruin the US. He thinks the American people are stupid I hope we prove how wrong he is.
Spot on, Ruth !
This has got to be a joke
The fact that by NEWSCUMB postponing people losing their jobs will slingshot him into tge presidentail race IS ABSOLUTELY NARCISSISTIC and typical of him!!!!!!!!!!!!! The public here in CALIF cannot wait for Mr. Hilton to give critical CPR to our state and have her thrive again. The long term Democrats have destroyed this beautiful state and WE ALL NEED NEWSCUMB to go far far awzy from us!!!!!!! LISTEN PEOPLE…..GET OUT A BE SURE TO VOTE….HOPEFULLY FOR MR. HILTON to get fresh eyes in here to see what’s really been happenning anf turn ut all around.
I have lived in California since June of 2001 and here are some of my observations.
Governor Gavin Newsom is a puppet. He has taken the most illogical and counter production actions over the past three and a half decades (+) running the California economy into the ground. Silicon Valley’s enormous income and near monopoly status is the only thing keeping this state’s economy from complete collapse.
So who’s pulling Gavin’s strings?? Who would benefit the most from this states financial collapse? Look to the West. Your search will end when you come to the Asian mainland and the CCP. Gavin Newsom has sold us out! He has lied, cheated and stole millions of tax dollars. I truly wish someone would prosecute this lying thief and his Aunt Nancy Pelosi. Two of the most dishonest and coincidentally richest politicians in America. I wish the Federal DOJ prosecutors the very best of luck!!
SKRAPE is Brilliant!! On par with the Bee!
fantastic art and great capture. so good!
I have been a resident of this state ( Thanks to the USMC ) since 1994, and I have not seen any Governor destroy their state like this bonafide idiot. He has a French restaurant and winery and a mansion, but no Rail, no homeless shelter plan, no plan to do anything to help Californians. Yet this moron thinks he has a slight chance to win the primaries??? Wow! People here are stupid to vote for him and people remember your vote has consequences, look at NY.
