Yeah Baby Yeah! The Threatening Tweet Heard 'Round the World!
Alright Austin Powers here reporting live from my shag pad! Seems our mate Donald Trump bless his cotton socks is causing a bit of a kerfuffle with the Golden State. He's threatening to pull the plug on California's federal funding baby big time if they don't get with the program on his transgender athlete ban. Can you believe it? It's like Dr. Evil threatening to hold the world ransom for one million dollars! (Or was it one *billion*?) Either way it's a lot of moolah!
Trans Athlete? More Like Trans tastic Athlete!
Now the crux of the matter is this: apparently there's a trans athlete who's causing quite the stir by being 'practically unbeatable.' Well good for them I say! What's wrong with a little competition? It's all about keeping things interesting innit? Trump wants to order the 'local authorities' to stop this person competing in the State Finals. It's enough to make you say 'Oh behave!' in utter exasperation!
California's Groovy Budget: Federal Funds Baby!
Word on the street is that California gets a hefty chunk of its budget from Uncle Sam – we're talking over a third! That's a lot of cheddar baby. Trump pulling the plug could leave California a bit... shagged. And with Trump's recent fondness for cutting funds to places he disagrees with it's not just idle chatter is it? It's like a real life game of international chess only with less spandex and more political maneuvering.
Newsom's Got the Mojo? Maybe Baby!
Enter Gavin Newsom the Governor of California and potential future presidential contender. He's not been shy about criticizing Trump's policies which is fair dos. He even said this whole trans athlete thing has been 'weaponized' by the right. But he has also suggested that it's 'deeply unfair' for trans athletes to participate in girls' and women's sports. So it seems he is little bit on the fence about this situation. Can he find the mojo to navigate this sticky wicket? Time will tell baby time will tell.
Shagadelic Showdown: Trump vs. California!
So what we have here is a groovy showdown between Trump and California. It's like a dance off between me and Fat Bastard only with higher stakes and less... well you get the picture! Will Trump actually cut off the funding? Will Newsom stand his ground? It's all up in the air baby! But one thing's for sure: this is one Austin Powers adventure I wouldn't want to miss!
Yeah Baby! It's The Politics!
In the end it's all about the politics isn't it? Sometimes it feels like we are watching a high stakes game of strip poker (although I wish it was a little bit more literal some times). Lets hope that both sides can come to an agreement here because if not it would leave a lot of people well feeling a little bit shagged.
