    “Shockingly, I have just learned, that Gavin Newscum, the Governor of California, is in final stages of approval to build Low Income Housing in Pacific Palisades. How unfair is that to the people that have suffered so much!” Trump began in a post on his social media platform.

    Trumps lies are making Newsom sound like a cool politician. Sadly he is just another piece of shit that simply happens to have humor.

      Yup I’m really hoping the DNC isn’t going to set him up as the next presidential candidate.

      Ever since the whole violating covid rules he set thing his name leaves a sour taste.

        He’s a poster boy for establishment, so I hope not.

        But I’m betting the DNC will campaign on “Trump MAGA bad.” Again. Only with a twist.

        Surely you guys have had enough of this MAGA crap, so let’s “get back to normal”, to get rid of MAGA and its destruction, you must vote for Daddy Establishment. And, it’s Newsom.

        He wins. DNC takes the legislature and the Senate. And abortion is legalized. But nothing else happens.

        Alternatively, JD Vance becomes Putin and we have no real elections going forward. (Melania was holding Trump’s hand on that England trip…high odds he’s not doing well.)

      At this point, I’ll take anything to get rid of Trump. The enemies of my enemies… We can deal with Newsom later, when the Trump regime is dispensed with.

        Why? Aside from personally being an absolute bag of shit, Trump is not remotely the worst part of the Trump presidency. Trump isn’t competent enough to do most of the harm.being done. He’s just a spokesman or a puppet.

        If we elect the wrong Democrat, in four more years we’ll be in even worse shape. That’s what happened when we nominated Biden. I called it the second he won the nomination. We would have been better off if Trump won in 2020. Biden was not up to the moment, and Newsom is not up to this moment. If he gets the nomination, America will not survive. Of course, we may not survive anyways - so maybe this conversation is moot.

        I would rather have a better candidate. Someone who appeals to a broad coalition of progressives, lefties, liberals and general non-nazis, and now is the time to look for that person. We’re 3 years from the Presidential election - it’s way too early to anoint Newsom or pretend that he’s the only alternative to Trump’s 3rd term.

          Remarkably, the current Democratic establishment is none of these things.

          Yeah better let the Nazi destroy everything instead then huh

          Do everything you can to get a better candidate than newsom in the primary, absolutely. But when it’s the general election, and if he’s the candidate, not voting against the Nazi makes you just another Nazi.

The Cheeto doesn’t get jokes. Ha ha. Still nothing? Well you poors still need me to be the next president.
