Gavin Newsom trolling Trump in ALL CAPS!

Good.

I love that he is doing the all caps thing and Big Beautiful Map response.

Is Gavin a datalounger? 😄

We really need more elected officials doing this. While on the surface it seem childish and lowbrow, it really effective if you consider it is the only language Trump responds to and it makes the news. Plus the one thing he cant stand is being laughed at.

This will never stand, he'll just use the National Guard and/or the courts to prevent this change. Or other states will respond with their own gerrymandered maps.

Texas is already gerrymandered to hell and back, they can’t do anything worse.

I used to think he was the Great White Hope. But his odd behavior since the raging fires has me hoping he's not interested in POTUS.

Having Steve Bannon on his podcast and throwing trans people under the bus killed any love I had for this grandstander.

He should have ended his message with THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Transistors should have been thrown under the bus ages ago, maybe we'd even have won in November if they had been.

I didn't like Newsom much until now.

Now I love him.

I LOVE HIM!

That's not the point. Everyone bitching about how Dems don't fight back and when someone like Newsom does you throw shade about how it wont work.

R9 - he did in a different tweet.

I think it's glorious - and about time. No MAGA can criticize it because this is exactly what Trump does.

They expect us to behave civilly and just take it while they act like crazed fucked up loons.

Yep, I am so tired of the double standard even the Corporate Media holds when it comes to Democrats must remain polite and play by the rules while MAGA and Republicans get to break them daily lying, cheating, hateful abusive childish behavior as accepted as that's just how they are with no push back.

Newsom seems to be just enough of a bitch to enjoy fighting Trump on his level. I agree with other posters here. It isn't enlightened discourse, but if flinging shit back at the orange ape subjects him to the sort of ridicule he deserves, go Gavin, go.

It doesn't make him a nice man, but it does get under the asshole's skin. The whole, "When they go low, we go high..." bullshit DOES. NOT. WORK. We're living with fascist assholes. Let's disengage our frontal lobes for a bit and kick them in the balls.

THEN we can talk about re-establishing and replenishing the shiny, idealistic towers of Democracy.

Democrats are always bringing a water pistol to a gunfight. This is a step in the right direction.

The high road is a road to irrelevance.

You don't bring a butter knife to a gun fight. That's what Dems do 90% of the time. I am glad Gavin brought the same tools to the fight for a change.

DHS thugs are trying to disrupt Gavin's press conference.

Trolling is coming from Israel also. DWTS Israel.

He's giving a good speech right now.

I'm a New Englander and I'd like to see him run for president in "28.

[quote] I used to think he was the Great White Hope. But his odd behavior since the raging fires has me hoping he's not interested in POTUS.

He's leaving all the other would-be '28 Democratic candidates in the dust. Newsom-Moore sounds like a good ticket to me.

Newsom / Buttigiug would be my dream ticket.

No member of the Biden Cabinet, even my favorite Gina Raimondo, should be on the 2028 ticket.

No one with close associations with the Bidens or the Clintons. Enough of both.

Buttigieg is never getting elected on a national ticket. Try to process that. I'm not holding my breath for the "first gay president" when our whole country and democracy are crumbling before our eyes from an unrelenting onslaught of fascism. No LGBT politician is getting elected on a national ticket today, 3 years from, or for the foreseeable future. Let it go, there are much bigger fish to fry.

It's not about having the first gay president. Buttigieg is highly respected outside of Fox News and their haters. He has the skills, MATURITY, knowledge, and everything you could want in a president. Most straight Democrats according to polling back this up.

Every fucking blue state needs to do the exact same thing.

[quote] It's not about having the first gay president. Buttigieg is highly respected outside of Fox News and their haters. He has the skills, MATURITY, knowledge, and everything you could want in a president. Most straight Democrats according to polling back this up.

But he's not electable.

R26, elections aren't decided by Democrats. They're also not decided by Republicans. They're decided by swing voters and independents, and that group leans conservative and has no loyalty to any party or politician.

I'm glad a bunch of "straight democrats" aren't turned off by a gay man in a position of power, but you really need to get a clue about the rest of the electorate. Sad to say it really doesn't matter how good or smart or ethical Buttigieg is. At the end of the day he's still LGBT and the country is no where near ready to elect an openly LGBT President.

Arteriosclerosis needs to do its fucking job:

It’s feeling like they want to take over blue cities. Then they stay in power. It’s very much like that recent film Civil War.

Standing up to the noxious Gender Identity Movement is NOT "throwing trans under the bus" in any way.

Not one person, trans or otherwise needs those crazy ideologues speaking for them.

Are you a trans person R32?

I like to say, “When they go low, we go high — for the jugular”.

I’m glad to see Democratic governors—with Newsom being a standout—throwing it right back at Trump. Only a small handful of DC Democrats have done so, which has been infuriating. Those Democrats that fight Trump and his fascist goons will be the future leaders of the country.

I just watched Newsom on the Heather Cox Richardson show and he was very impressive, serious and intense. HCR seemed to be a bit overwhelmed with desire at some points. The comments on the HCR interview were all overwhelmingly in admiration and support of Newsom. Most saying FINALLY SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING!

I'm LOVING Newsom's trolling of Trump on social media. It's very well done and very smart. Trump will fucking hate it and obsess over it and I'm here for it. Trump likes to dish it out to "Newscum" but he is a glass jawed titty baby and can't take being insulted back. It makes him insane that anyone would dare do that to him. I'm hoping for some later night truth social meltdowns.

I've seen a lot of posters on DL saying that the Democratic Party is doing nothing and not fighting. "Where are they?" is continually asked. This is invariably answered by other posters defending the Dems saying "but they're not in power - they can't do anything - what do you expect!!!!!". Nobody expects them to be able to do anything much in congress or the senate - but what Newsom is doing right now - that's what Democratic Party supporters are looking for. Desperate for. Someone to stand up to Trump and to fight fire with fire. To talk back. To fight back. Newsome is the only one doing it and it illuminates starkly how fucking useless Schumer and Jefferies and most of the old school Democratic Party is right now. If Newsom isn't careful he will be the presidential nominee in 2028 because he is projecting fight back and power and filling the void of useless, out of touch Dems who all just have to retire so that new politicians can take their place who are able to meet the moment and task at hand.

No, r33. I am not suffering from gender dysphoria, but thanks for asking about my well being!

I think he has a shot at POTUS if the rednecks don't vote.

He has a shot at POTUS if he can get the left on board. The left needs to get on board and not dick around this time. Fuck the rednecks, we outnumber them. But we need to stand together, and that goes for centrists too. If you're yelling about "vOtE bLuE nO mAtTer wHo" while also trashing Mamdani, AOC et al, this applies to you too. We all need to stand together if we want to beat these fascist fuckers once and for all. Enough with the infighting and purity tests and circular firing squads. We have one enemy now and it's them, Republicans, MAGAs and conservatives.

100% R39.

I understand the impulse to want be the Democratic Trump, but I’m not sure it’s a good look for Newsom.

[quote] Fuck the rednecks, we outnumber them.

I used to believe that.

He should be a contender. I would vote for him.

You’ll get your chance, R44. He’s certainly running.

Trolling Trump gets media attention, which is sad but necessary. We are a shallow country and if independent voters start seeing Trump as a loser constantly being mocked, they may vote the other way. These types want to be on the side of the perceived winners.

[quote]I understand the impulse to want be the Democratic Trump, but I’m not sure it’s a good look for Newsom.

We tired the high road, it FAILED. You know the definition of insanity right? So stop clinging to the past thinking its a winning strategy. It's time to get our hands dirty and into the mud.

When Hillary tried this with " basket of deplorables" they had a meltdown. The problem was, she just dipped her toe in the water and jump right out after someone made a comment. We need someone who will cannon ball into the pool and start swinging. Is it a good look? Maybe not, but this is a battle for survival not a bathing suit contest.

Do you want to win? Or do you just want to look good losing?

[quote] but I’m not sure it’s a good look for Newsom.

Absolutely. It’s also terrible for Biden.

What is great about Newsom is that, unlike Trump, he can turn this act on and off. Obama could do that as well, but had cautiousness drummed into him. Newsom has gravitas even if he has to wash off a little mud.

The handwringing over actually fighting back needs to go away. Newsom is seizing the moment, not hiding under the covers until MAGA goes away.

Newsom's also white.

Dear God, I’ll never ask for anything ever again if Gavin Newson is elected President and all the MAGATS heads explode.

[quote]but I’m not sure it’s a good look for Newsom.

On the contrary, it shows that someone on the left is not intimidated by Trump and is willing to take the fight to him, as opposed to Schumer and Jeffries. It also fires up the Dems who have been waiting to tee off and have been frustrated and angered by the feeble, impotent response of their " leaders."

[quote]Trying to "out troll" Trump is a fools game.

“We Go High” doesn’t work either.

Yes, Clinton tried this with deplorables, but the game was so new she backed down. I always thought this they go low, we go high was an old solution to a new problem. Newsom is on to something and has the right combination to make it work. He's not bad looking, he's masculine enough, and relentless. Fighting this with intelligence and logic doesn't work. It's a cult of identity and personality. The only option is to humiliate the leader.

The key is to make Trump go unhinged and display his psychosis and mental feebleness. it also drives his blood pressure up, since his inability to take criticism is his Achilles Heel. He's the ultimate snowflake, triggered by anything that isn't complete love and devotion.

The “go high” bullshit feeds into their belief that leftists are snobby elitists. Newsom is trashing Dump and MAGA on their own level, using their own tactics. It’s a bit hard for MAGA to complain about California redistricting in the same way as Texas. Newsom is playing their game and not rolling over. Forget the divisiveness with the trans and Israel and Palestine… just fucking win first. Every last fucking Democrat needs to get behind someone like Newsom even if it’s blindly, and fucking do it now. Show some solidarity for once.

Newsom goes after gay California Congressman by referring to some of his public indiscretions. ( openly masturbating in public restrooms).

[quote]Yesterday, DeMaio said on X, “I am looking forward to Nov 4 when California voters hand Gavin Newsom a humiliating defeat by rejecting his corrupt and dishonest redistricting scheme. In one fell swoop they will 1) defend fair elections and 2) end his political career.”

[quote]Newsom’s official press office responded with a news headline concerning DeMaio from 2013. It concerned alleged inappropriate behavior in a restroom. DeMaio has always denied this. “You won’t be ‘handing’ us anything, Carl,” quipped Newsom’s official press office account.

Carl:

[quote]CA media: After the vulgar behavior today at a live event, you have a duty to not cover these rallies live if Gonzalez is involved. You have a duty to your viewers...and an FCC license to keep.

Newsom:

[quote] You’d know a lot about vulgar behavior, wouldn’t ya Carl?

Newsom is a catty bitch. I'd like to nominate him to be DL royalty.

I’ll take Newsom’s trolling over Schumer’s strongly worded letters any day.

[quote]Newsom is a catty bitch. I'd like to nominate him to be DL royalty.

He’s our permanent Prom King.

[quote]Fighting this with intelligence and logic doesn't work. It's a cult of identity and personality. The only option is to humiliate the leader.

THIS right there is the summation of the problem and needs to be repeated.

[bold]Fighting this with intelligence and logic doesn't work. It's a cult of identity and personality. The only option is to humiliate the leader.

Has Trump responded to any of Newsom's recent Tweets?

Not that I know of, R62, but expect exponentially more negative stories from lame steam, Trump influenced media about how awful CA is, how its economy is in the tank, what shitholes its cities are.

Looking at you, CBS, now that your "news" department is all about fellating Trump on a daily basis.

I love him

Fox is covering these posts, but with attitude. They quote them, but intersperse “the social media team wrote” and “the account posted” between sentences to undercut Newsom. Which basically admits how brilliant these are.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dump tweets out something about his sex life with Kimberly Gargoyle.

[quote] wouldn't be surprised if Dump tweets out something about his sex life with Kimberly Gargoyle.

I think he'll continue to ignore them.

Reading this thread, I have two thoughts. 1. This is hilarious. 2. This doesn't mean he is the best choice for the Democrats in 2028. Both things can be true. But enjoy the moment, because certainly not many others in high positions are actually standing up to King Fool.

Yes, by all means, let’s definitely get behind & elect THIS childish, obnoxious megalomaniac to the Presidency. I mean, it isn’t like we’ve had enough chaos, self worship, corruption and embarrassment in the Oval Office! Let’s ALL get behind Gavin Newsome everybody! He seems totally hinged, sane and in control of himself, right? ….RIGHT?!?! 🙄

Fox and MAGA for the most part, don’t understand this is parody. They literally can’t see the connection between what Gavin is posting and what their dear leader posts.

He seems totally sane if you understand parody. If you don't, then yes, you might be concerned.

^ Because they're in a cult with the Supreme Leader. And some are just complete morons.

If you are concerned about these tweets, please punch yourself repeatedly in the dick and resolve to never, ever vote again in any election.

The fact that so many on the right are upset about this indicates to me that either it is working against them with their base OR (more likely) it is upsetting the only one person they actually care about.

Either way, I don't have to like it as I appreciate the effect that it is having

[QUOTE]Has Trump responded to any of Newsom's recent Tweets?

More importantly, has Steven Cheung responded to any of Newsom's tweets? He's the one behind the particularly nasty messages coming from Trump or White House accounts and Newsom addresses him directly in this tweet (at the bottom, cut off), asking him to "EXPLAIN THIS DISASTER!"

Interesting that he's not asking Karoline Leavitt.

Ve luv handsome good hair governor! Please to keep making many tweets!

[quote]Fox and MAGA for the most part, don’t understand this is parody.

Are Trump voters even aware of, or give a shit about, tweets by...of all people... Gavin Newsom, Governor of California?

I highly doubt it.

[quote]The fact that so many on the right are upset about this indicates

Who on the right is upset about these tweets? Where are you seeing that?

If you go to Newsom's Twitter feed, the only people commenting about the Tweets are Dems.

^ “reporters” on Fox and a senator have decried his “unprofessional behavior.”

R79 Wow.

BTW:What reporters? What senator?

All of 'em.

He's no statesman like Trump!

I don't like Newsom. I sure as fuck don't trust [italic]anyone[/italic] who married Kimberly Guilfoyle. Plus his hair makes him look like a used car salesman -- icky.

I'm glad he's doing this, but I don't want anyone who can act so immature [bold]at will[/bold] to be our president. We have one of those now.

We need someone with class and dignity who's a fighter.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

[quote] We need someone with class and dignity who's a fighter.

We need an actual fighter. Not a prisspot version of a fighter. A real one.

The Newsom family is gorgeous. That is a beautiful American family.

^ White and blond like real Americans. Vance's family looks dirty.

Those Vance kids look like dark hillbillies.

This may be the best one yet:

^ It does read like exactly Trump.

But it starts to fall into the "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" territory.

Good for Gavin. In fact, if any Democrat on the national stage hasn't made fun of Trump today and called him a cunt, consider it a day wasted.

you demand class and dignity from "our leaders" but you voted for trump 3 times?

no.

WTF's wrong with demanding class and dignity? What's wrong with wanting another FDR? Another JFK? [Yeah, I know -- but you know what I mean.]

You want to elect a Democratic president who acts just like Trump?

BTW, I didn't vote for Trump even once, much less three times. But whatever.

For an old DC PR guy, this has my attention. Cracks me up. At the very least it might force us all to listen with a more critical ear.

I wonder if they're testing these tweets with focus groups from national samples. After the fact, of course, but it will give them a sense of how voters perceive them and whether to proceed or hone the messages. Trump supporters are a lost cause, but I'm curious how independents respond.

Oh, no, r85! That’s two or three too many kids for an ideal blue family. Might as well have them all in a field holding shotguns like some Missouri state assembly candidate.

But I guess he’s our best hope? The posts are fucking genius.

Trump has a tiny dick.

I’m in favor of whatever dems have to do to win elections

And he’s fat r96 which makes it look even tinier

[quote]Let’s ALL get behind Gavin Newsome everybody! He seems totally hinged, sane and in control of himself, right? ….RIGHT?!?!

Oh, Dear!

[quote]Are Trump voters even aware of, or give a shit about, tweets by...of all people... Gavin Newsom

Oh they are aware, just ask Fox News Maria Bartiromo @1:45

[quote]WTF's wrong with demanding class and dignity?

Whats wrong with bringing a butter knife to a gun fight?

Joyce Vance weighs in.

Apparently some are unhappy with it as we see here. looks like it is working.

I'd recommend sending a strongly worded 12 page fax.

Senator, it's 12 pages because you still insist on two spaces after each period!

[quote]looks like it is working.

It is working R103. We know it's working when Fox News are now constantly talking about Newsom's tweets and lamenting about how childish and stupid they are (if you van believe that!) so we know it's all working. And Trump will be watching that like a hawk and as someone said above - his blood pressure will be rising and everything Newsom is doing will make Trump CRAZY! Hopefully crazy enough to have some meltdowns on truth social or even better - in a live press conference. Trump has constructed an alternate reality for himself where everyone loves him, his polling numbers are the best in history, the American people agree with everything he's doing and where he's going to be given a Nobel Peace Prize because he is so beloved by the world. When Fox News is continually talking about Newsom's tweets then Trump has to deal with actual reality. It'll be making him crazy!

[quote]It is working [R103]. We know it's working when Fox News are now constantly talking about Newsom's tweets

They're not constantly talking about Newsom's tweets.

Go Gavin!

I'm here to support him and anything he can do to kill tRump.

Trump is playing coy at the moment, pretending he's not aware of Gavin's tweets. But trust me, he's read everyone and as much as he's holding back at some point in the middle of the night, most likely while he's on the toilet, his rage is going to fart out in a massive uncontrollable tweet.

I think it’s a good strategy. Trump appealed to many because he came across as “strong” and basically a bully.

Making fun of him and showing him being bullied makes him look weak.

48 WILL BE GAVIN NEWSOM.

[quote] 48 WILL BE GAVIN NEWSOM.

Not if I still have control of the House.

The Dude was stylin back in the day.

Strike a pose, why doncha?

Gavin Newson 2028?

After Harris, another candidate from California? Really?

^ Newsom

[quote] After Harris, another candidate from California? Really?

So who's your choice, this far in advance?

If Newsom is the 2028 Democratic Party presidential candidate he will win.

No one else seems to be standing up to Trump and fighting fire with fire.

I hope Newsom doesn’t peak too soon.

[quote]You want to elect a Democratic president who acts just like Trump?

No, R92. I want to elect a Democrat that can break the spell that Trump has on the media and the morons in this country that lap up every tweet he vomits out. If that's Newsom, great. If it's someone else, great. What I don't want is someone who is afraid to fight back. I want someone who is willing to punch a bully in the nose.

Newsom, if he were to be elected in '28, would not continue to communicate like this. It's to mock bully Trump-do you not get that?

Anything should be on the table to fight these fascists.

[quote]Newsom, if he were to be elected in '28, would not continue to communicate like this. It's to mock bully Trump-do you not get that?

Yes of course everybody gets that R125. And we want to see Newsom doing this all day and all night. 24/7/365. He's the only Democrat who is effectively communicating and fighting back against Trump and the vampires in the Trump administration like Miller and Leavitt et al.

For everyone saying that they don't like him because he married KG, you've seen the cult of Trump change people dramatically. To wit: Vance.

I cant not hear this in my head when I see any photos of Mr. Newsom.

[quote]For everyone saying that they don't like him because he married KG

Newsom married Guilfoile when she was a different person. Then he later kicked that shrieking bitch to the curb and got rid of her and then she descended into a nightmare plastic surgeries, coked out meth whore with Donnie Jr for years. Then even Donnie Jr kicked her to the curb and had his father deport her to Greece. It's a badge of fucking honor to manage to get away from that screeching harpy! Newsom deserves sympathy. I just feel sorry for Greece.

If Newsome wins the presidency in 2028, he will drop this nonsense and do a serious and informed job as president.

As a Californian I'm proud he's standing up to that orange corrupt cretin. I've had enough of that asshole. The emperor wears no clothes and Newsom is just pointing that out. It's time we kicked that sick buffoon permanently to the curb. Republicans lie and cheat. Everyone knows that, even them.

[quote] For everyone saying that they don't like him because he married KG, you've seen the cult of Trump change people dramatically.

I think I've told this story on DL before but...

During the early days of COVID I logged onto Facebook one day and a bunch of old friends from college were talking about something or other egregious and overly sexual that Kimberly G had just done. Then, someone I must have gone to school with but did/do not know chimed in,

"Yeah, I went to high school with her. She's always been like that."

I wonder if Gargoyle has any dirt on Newsom that includes receipts. Given how he’s putting himself out there, I’d assume not. But she could really be his Achilles’ heel, even if it’s stuff they make up. Newsom would be the only candidate Republicans would fear. I think Newsom knows exactly what he needs to do, though, and he’s doing it. He just needs to make sure he has a solid policy plank as well.

The Gargoyle has about as much credibility as Ghislaine Maxwell R132.

True, R133, but there’s a really gullible faction of the electorate. Remember her emails?

Yes, of course he'd get all kinds of shit flung at him, as will any Democratic nominee.

The question is, who is ready to respond in kind. I think he's showing that he is. And if shit is coming from the gargoyle, I suspect he'd have no problem, well, having surrogates talk freely about what a skanky ho she's always been, and was no doubt fucking around behind Don Jr. during their stupid relationship. I'm sure the new Mrs. Newsom wouldn't mind being a primary source for all kinds of shit.

It's going to be a nasty brutal personal campaign whoever the nominees are. Get used to it, and don't tie up our own nominee with stupid dead ideals.

governor handsome had the gargoyle here, when she was in her prime and the hottest woman in any room.

a long time ago.

jr got the sloppy seconds/thirds/fourth/fifth/sixth and SHE was paying the fucking bills.

A Bianca Jagger thing going on there

R136, that’s the worst pic of Gavin I’ve ever seen.

It's hilarious to see FOX News types act offended by this. .They're missing the point or more likely told to act like they miss the point so thir viewers don't get any funny ideas.

R136, exactly. SHE was the hotter of the couple. A very very very long time ago.

Damn, R136 -- are you sure that's her?

That looks too good to be her.

^ Gavin was with DL fave Sharon Stone!

The gargoyle was gorgeous and a respected prosecutor, a contemporary of President Kamala Harris.

Yeah, Harris and Gargoyle started out in the same DA’s office as prosecutors. One became Vice President and the other one got fired from Fox News.

What the hell happened to her, R143? She’s effectively turned into Leona Helmsley.

I am so curious about the gargoyles decline. I have an unnatural interest in it R145

There was a guest on the radio this morning who was saying that the leadership in the Democratic Party is coming from the states, not Congress or Democratic leadership; it's the governors who are leading. He disparaged Schumer as clueless as to figuring out the new politics and still set in the old ways of compromise ( in this case, one way compromise).

This should make some heads explode.

people hate when you do them the same way they did you.

maga is demanding a governor to be respectful?

its a sick joke.

I wish Newsom would refer to Steven Cheung as "Bunsen Honeydon't"!

All of this Twitter trolling now needs to get into the feeds of MAGAts. Maybe Newsom could work with Elmo on that since Elmo hates Trump now.

This is fantastic. Believe me, MAGA gets it and they get it hard. They may try to perform uncaring nonchalance, but these mimic tweets are pitch perfect mockeries of Trump's contrived communication style. They can use the "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" retort all they want, but it doesn't fly in this scenario. The approach is a brutal and accurate takedown of Trump's entire schtick. This debased, cutthroat approach has been desperately needed. Now, every time someone crafts a post on behalf of Trump (or if Trump does it himself) in this same style there's going to be a wobble of insecurity in their psyche because of the blatant mockery going on. This is all entertaining too, and unfortunately, it's the way the political game has to be played right now. I will forever resent Michelle Obama for psyching the Democrats into that shitty "when they go low, we go high" bullshit. The only thing that phrase told the MAGA hordes is that Democrats feel they're "above" those in MAGA. (I mean, in essence, it's true, but it added fuel to the MAGA outrage over the Dems portraying themselves as the "Elites.") Fighting fire with fire, no matter how ugly it looks, is the way to go. Bravo Gavin and team!

[quote] There was a guest on the radio this morning who was saying that the leadership in the Democratic Party is coming from the states, not Congress or Democratic leadership

It's kinda hard to do much when you're in the minority of bodies that have surrendered dominion to the president.

[quote]I will forever resent Michelle Obama for psyching the Democrats into that shitty "when they go low, we go high" bullshit.

Oh, Mary, just stop. Just fucking stop.

It was the arsonist Berners, the leftists, the Jill Stein and non-voters who accomplished all of this treachery, not the First Lady who campaigned tirelessly in 2016, and her comments were on-brand for Democrats who actually vote!

If Michelle Obama had done anything, except gone high, she would have been called every angry black woman, n-word, bitch you can think of. They were already calling her a man, and ugly, and all other sorts of things, and they were itching to add other epithets to the melange. They think Melanie, whose cooter you can Google and who was a literal hooker, somehow has more class and refinement than Michelle Obama. Unfortunately, minorities (black, brown, gay) don't get the same grace to be assholes that others do. Gavin Newsom, a tall, good-looking, uber straight, white man, gets to be an asshole without consequence.

[quote]After pivoting into a Donald Trump-style of social media posting to mock the U.S. president, California Governor Gavin Newsom's team has now introduced a new nickname for Vice President J.D. Vance, "Just Dance Vance."

[quote]"NOT EVEN JD 'JUST DANCE' VANCE CAN SAVE TRUMP FROM THE DISASTROUS MAPS 'WAR' HE HAS STARTED," Newsom's office wrote on X on Saturday, mimicking Trump's habit to write in all-caps.

[quote]Giving Vance a nickname—"Just Dance Vance"—is just one of the many ways Newsom is imitating Trump's very recognizable social media posting style to mock the president.

[quote]These include using derogatory nicknames for his political opponents, writing in all-caps and overtly and exaggeratedly praising himself for real or imaginary achievements. In Trump's social media world, the California governor is often referred to as "Newscum." In his mocking posts, Newsom has repeatedly referred to Trump as "tiny hands."

I would have preferred he call JD "Just Dumb."

An added benefit of Newsom's trolling is that some people who've paid no attention to Trump's Truth Social posts will now see what a cauldron of crazy it is:

R155 and R156 I disagree. It was a serious misstep and a strategic miscalculation to follow that advice. The GOP had already been ramping up the puerile and nasty attacks. Maybe that "go high" approach was fine for Michelle personally, but it was a complete failure for the Democratic Party in general.

He deserves to be fellated to completion. And I volunteer.

Hasn't Michelle Obama herself abandoned that whole line? I know she'll be forever saddled with it until the day she dies, but I don't think even she was calling for that in 2024. And at this point, it's just a dead idea and everyone should just ignore it.

Didn’t Michelle make that comment before the ‘16 election when not even Trump thought he would win & we all thought we could afford to take the high road?

The go High was a great idea in the abstract, unfortunately not for a culture where 50% are MAGAts.

[quote] Here's why Gavin Newsom's parodying of Trump is important, smart, and why I like it so much: Trump is a narcissist. To be made fun of is to injure him narcissistically. Narcissistic injury - especially in a public narrative - makes him confront his fear of humiliation. He's flailing on many fronts now. THEREFORE ...

[quote] The more narcissistic injury he feels, the more panicky he acts. The more panicky he acts, the more fodder for parody. The more he gets parodied, the more manic he becomes. The more manic he becomes, the more he's unchecked. The more he's unchecked, the more mistakes he makes. The more mistakes he makes, the weaker he is. The weaker he is, the more narcissistic injury he feels, the more panicky he acts, the more he gets parodied, the more manic he becomes, the more he's unchecked, the more mistakes he makes, and the worse it will get for him.

Yes R166, Michelle made that comment long before we realized just how low MAGATs were prepared to go.

The Go high was a great idea in the abstract, unfortunately not for a culture where 50% are MAGAts, ignorant, semi-literate, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, faux Christian, faux patriotic and damn proud of it, and their spiritual leader is now POTUS once again.

Dems just need to remember: POLICY NEVER WINS ELECTIONS!

Period!

Stone Cold Gavin!

God I'm so glad he's our governor- I can't see Ahnold doing this.

Arnold is doing what he does, gently admonishing the trump team

[quote]Arnold is doing what he does, gently admonishing the trump team

He's admonishing Gavin, too:

That’s what he does

Arnold on both sides as usual.

Arnold, sweetheart, sit this one out. Nobody should be trying to save the old, dead, long gone and buried Republican Party from itself. Nobody needs some nonsense about how, no, it can be revived with love and joy. No, it sucks and it's dead inside.

[quote] They truly have less self-awareness than a dog licking its own asshole in the middle of a crowded public sidewalk.

Yup, if Trump ever saw Melania I'm sure she'd be telling him the same thing, stop you're stupid posting. Sadly, she spends every possible minute away from the asshole.

And of course, he'd never listen to her for five seconds.

Gavin seems to be playing hardball

Ya think?

At least someone man enough to do it. The rest of the blue states need to STEP UP.

His social media manager is Camille Zapata, and she's worth her weight in gold.

Yeah, baby!

R185 That's the best one yet.

newsom in his prime was WAY fucking more hot that thump ever was

Gretchen Whitmer has come up with a fantastic idea! She is going to "work with Trump".

[italic]"Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is taking a gamble that other potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders are not: that party voters might reward her — or at least not punish her — for working with President Trump. Whitmer's approach is a sharp break from other prominent Democrats such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who are defining themselves as anti-Trump warriors".[/italic]

I cannot believe Axios is still mentioning Whitmer as a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender. As her absence from any of the early primary/caucus attests, sheis not running.

[quote]As her absence from any of the early primary/caucus attests, she is not running.

Thank FUCK for that R189. She's an ongoing disappointment. Great to know she won't be wasting everyone's time and effort. However, it's not only Axios - her name often comes up in discussions about who the Democratic Party presidential candidate might be.

It’s just media laziness, then, R190. Apart from her (lack of) travel schedule, she would not be trying to work with Trump - for the hoped-for benefit of her state - if she had presidential ambitions.

🤭

Love it. They fucking hate when anybody treats them the way they treat anybody. Love it.

I had forgotten about the rancid Chaya Raichik.

R195 Love he called her by her first name, like I do!

Can someone please explain the r195 controversy?

R197, Chaya is the founder of the right wing social media account “Libs of TikTok” who pushes the groomer narrative saying that the LGBTQ community recruits kids. She allegedly was one of the participants of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

She as odious as Alex Jones having had her followers call in bomb threats to children’s hospitals at one point.

Ugh, what a witch

Like Trump, he's not backing down at all:

So so good

R200 Oh my god that "you sound woke" did me in. I did not expect that comeback. I love it. Gavin's team have unleashed a vindictive social media beast and these GOP/MAGA fools are not handling it well at all or with any success. This is only going to get worse for them because what are they going to do about it? Pivot back to exercising decorum, respectful behavior, and going with "reaching across the aisle" talk? Not very likely. Anyone in the entire world who has been paying attention (and even those who only pay half-attention) fully understand the mockery and satire on display by Newsom's team. MAGA/GOP might try to pretend they're not being slammed to the mat, but everyone else knows they are, and laughing at them in the process. Beautiful.

Governor, Do. Not. Stop.

Not from Newom, but still:

Ha, Ha, I love it, now calling THEM woke.

Oh yeah look that girl from West Dakota. She so smart she so fierce.

Calls Rick Grenell the Kennedy Center janitor! OOF!!! 🤣

They're going to keep stepping in it because they have to demonstrate their loyalty.

They still think Trump is typing all his Tweets? By himself?

Holy shit that's funny R208. These GOP toadies can't take being made fun of, turned into humiliated public spectacles. It's damaging to their "brand." I've not seen one comeback from MAGA/GOP professionals that counters sufficiently. The pressure and building rage inside of many of them might just gift the world a few fatal coronaries or similar health-related mishaps. Here's hoping!

Janitor. I love it sooooo much.

[quote]I wish Newsom would refer to Steven Cheung as "Bunsen Honeydon't"!

Or - Discount Oddjob.

R208, OMGERSH, what a buffoon!

I love when they try to snap back. The Newsom team response is even better. And the more they get into it, the more likely it goes viral.

[quote] Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge- fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul--it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

The funny thing is that the MAGAs think Newsom is trying to copy Trump for success, rather than realising he's mocking the orange man.

who wrote that r215?

that is blisteringly true

Pay attention, Dems:

[quote]While the top issues for most Americans are high prices, inflation and health care, our increasingly unpopular president is laser-focused on things nobody cares about. Like downplaying exhibitions on the history of slavery at the Smithsonian.

[quote]So when a public figure who is unpopular comes out and says he wants to scrub all the stuff about “how bad Slavery was” from America’s museums, I think other public figures would be on solid ground if they denounced him.

[quote]Republicans won’t do it, of course. They’ve spent decades ignoring the needs of their voters, focusing instead on tossing them red meat from the culture wars and assuming that bashing liberals is all that matters.

[quote]But even in Democratic circles, most continue to go after Trump with kid gloves, with notable exceptions like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

[quote]And corporate types are, by and large, either silent or outright supportive of a president liked by fewer and fewer Americans.

[quote]From a marketing and political strategy standpoint, none of this makes sense. Trump’s bullying nature and willingness to use the power of the federal government against his enemies are clearly cowing many, which is pathetic.

[quote]You don’t wait around for an unpopular bully to gather more power. Bending to the will of a wannabe tyrant has never benefited anybody. Standing up and shouting a wannabe tyrant down, on the other hand, is the kind of thing that gets remembered.

[quote]While the top issues for most Americans are high prices, inflation and health care, our increasingly unpopular president is laser-focused on things nobody cares about.

I don't buy this at all. These people got exactly what they voted for.

Ahe voted fer President Trump cuz them eggs wuz $8.

Former Governator Schwarzenegger has declared war on Newsom. He will fight Newsom's redistricting tooth and nail.

Interesting that so many people connected to the Kennedy family are somehow working with Trump.

Wonder why Arnold hates Newsom so much. Jealous?

HA HA R221! Cro-Marge is such a dumb cunt.

ah took a sekund morgage tuh bye grow-cuh-rees. duh pryce go up end down. duh presdent aint tuh blaim fuh dur pryce ah aigs.

The outreach to the MAGAt audience is definitely expanding. 👍

R222 AS has spoken on the tragedy Nazi-ism brought the weak men in his family back in the day. Why on earth would he try to block GN from doing whatever he can to stem the tide of rising fascism?

R226, Ahnold really wants that Kennedy Center Honor.

Articles like one in R299 make me wonder if they’re just setting the table for a stolen election.

articles like R299 are illegible

Trump is right about one thing, "The FAILED NY Times".

^ Are you claiming that the voter registration numbers are false and have been made up by the NYTimes?

R229 not 299 and at this point everything is so off kilter in this country, I don't know what to think R235.

Expect more of this type of shit from Trump and his lackeys in the business world.

DICK MEASURING CONTEST AT NOON. BE THERE DONALD-WILL BE WILD!

Newsom takes on Gutfield:

[quote]In a heated tweet that spoofed President Donald Trump's style, he wrote, "I SELDOM WATCH LOW-RATED 'GARBAGEMAN' GREG GUTFELD BUT, WHEN I DO, I MARVEL AT THE FAKE LAUGHTER ON THE SHOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BAD 'LAUGH MACHINE,' IT'S SO OBNOXIOUS AND DISGUSTING, JUST LIKE HIM, ALWAYS LAUGHING NO MATTER WHAT IS SAID."

[quote]He continued, "REAL PATRIOTS HATE IT WHEN FOX ('EDITS THE TAPES') PUTS GARBAGEMAN GREG ON. FOX OUGHT TO 'GET SMART', AND NOT USE LOSERS LIKE THIS. ALSO, THEY SHOULDN'T ALLOW NEGATIVE ADS ABOUT ME. THANK YOU! - GCN"

Garbageman Greg-sweet!

I am genuinely surprised Arnold took this long to insert his tongue up Trumps fat ass. He wants dump to change law that only natural born can run for prez.

Trump is just going through the motions and doing what his advisors are telling him. That's no way to run a country. Particularly when his aides are a seedy bunch. What a shit show.

He's a mentally impaired man and getting worse. They're trying to keep it hush, hush but it's obvious.

Keep at it Gavin, he'll blow his top if anything is still in there. Poke that snake.

R229, the NY Times sure seems to have an agenda. What's going on with them lately? Stockholm syndrome?

Meanwhile in California: Voters show 20 point lead in favor of voting for the Newsom redistricting plan.

Newsom has balls. I like it.

Oh, wow. They wiped with Tomi and the direction doesn't look good.

[quote] WOW! FOX NEWS CAN’T STOP TALKING ABOUT ME (GAVIN C. NEWSOM), AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR!!! TONIGHT THEIR ENTIRE PRIMETIME LINEUP WAS ABOUT ME! JESSE WATTERS KEPT CALLING ME “DADDY” (VERY WEIRD, NOT INTERESTED, BUT THANK YOU!). SEAN HANNITY (VERY NICE GUY) NEARLY CRIED BECAUSE I WON’T TAKE HIS “ADVICE.” SORRY SEAN!!!! THEN THEY DRAGGED OUT THE B-TEAM OF DUMB DUMBS: “MEATBALL RON,” TOMI “TOILET” LAHREN, AND TEDDY “CANCUN” CRUZ (HE EVEN FLEW BACK SPECIAL FROM MEXICO!) ALL WHINING ABOUT ME, GCN! THEY HAD TO “PLAY THE MUSIC” TO SHUT TED UP ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR (I GET IT! SO JEALOUS!). TOTAL DISASTER. MAGA HATES ME BECAUSE THEY HATE YOU. THEY HATE THAT CALIFORNIA IS THE 4TH BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. THEY HATE THAT CRIME IS DOWN, THAT WE’RE #1 IN FARMING (I LOVE THE FARMERS!), MANUFACTURING, TOURISM & TECH… ALL WHILE WE GIVE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, FREE SCHOOL MEALS (MAKE AMERICA PREGNANT AGAIN!), PAID “BABY LEAVE” FOR MOMS (THEY SHOULD NOT RETURN ANYWAYS!!), $20 MINIMUM WAGE & SO MUCH MORE FOR THE PEOPLE!!! THEY HATE THAT DEMOCRATS ARE WINNING. FOX & MAGA HAVE NEWSOM DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!!! THEY SHOULD CRY HARDER! SAD!!! — GCN

This is really working because the MAGA mouthpieces are in a tizz about it and Fox News keeps talking about it - Gutfeld, Watters, Hannity et al.

Many ex-Trump staff have said this will really be getting under Trump's skin and making him crazy. Hopefully he will lose it during a press conference!

At least one of the Democratic Leaders is doing something. Newsom looks, sounds and acts presidential.

You know when even Morning Joe is laughing uncontrollable about Newsroom's tweets it's defiantly getting under their skin. At least he and his guests are pointing out it's not mimicking like FOX is now trying to say, it's mocking and they don't get it. And Newsom can do two things at once. Have a little fun and also serious about what's going on.

I’m laughing a lot!!!!! MAGA cunts are livid, they didn’t think their “own the libs” tactics could be turned against them.

😂😂😂😂

Well, you can certainly spot the maga sympathizing lurkers here.

Arnold an old Nazi.

I am really surprised and disappointed at Schwarzenegger.

I love it! Newsom is winning with this.

Someone on Trump's team is getting it because the insane ALLCAPS rants from the fat orange toad have ceased.

Schwarzenegger led the fight for California districts to be drawn by an independent commission. He seems more interested in protecting his legacy than safeguarding democracy.

I agree with him that gerrymandering is terrible and should be banned across the USA – something Congressional Democrats have proposed and Republicans shot down – but we can't just roll over in the face of naked power grabs from the Republicans.

Schwarzenegger should stick to bothering his maid or posing as Father of the Year on Instagram with his bastard, and leave his concerns about “the people” to someone other than a Kennedy relative.

IM THINKING OF SUING THEM BOTH FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. ARE THERE ANY GOOD HOMOSEXUAL LAWYERS ON THIS SIGHT? I ALWAYS SAY KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY!

BLESS,

I predicted that he would be the frontrunner for the Democratic primary heading into 2028.

Democrats are tired of these milquetoast candidates who talk in circles and do nothing. We want a fighter!

R256 - you're right! I went to the source and checked and there are only a couple of all caps rants on his truth social feed now.

So it's working. It's getting to him.

[quote]MAGA cunts are livid, they didn’t think their “own the libs” tactics could be turned against them.

To be fair, who in their right mind would want to "own a MAGAt"?

Go Gavin!

Was he named after the dreamy Mr. John Gavin?

Dream on Arnold. No one would vote a busted actor who fucked his hideous housekeeper and had a love child wit the creature.

Nick Fuentes is endorsing Gavin Newsom now. He says that you're not a white nationalist if you support a fat race mixer like JD Vance over a handsome tall rich white man with a white family like Gavin, that his politics are completely secondary to that.

Arnold nostalgic for the glory days of the Anschluss

If Trump tweets are now suddenly not all caps that tells me two things. His TWEET team got the message, trying to look "more professional". Secondly, Trump will not stop tweeting in all caps so when those randomly show up, they are probably right from his fat little fingertips.

Oh yes, R268, agree 100%. This abrupt switch-up definitely shows that the administration is bothered by Newsom team's relentless onslaught of mockery. MAGA is also unable to find their footing when trying to slap back. It's beautiful and I love it.

R68 please get it right and refer to them as what they are TINY fingertips

R268*

It’s all good but it’s all too late. The Nazi’s have taken over and those who won’t join them are being persecuted.

Keep attacking Trump/MAGA on all fronts-Epstein, Newsom's trolling, and South Park/Colbert. Dump and his cult do care about appearing weak or loser-like. This is working-and you keep punching the bully until he runs away in tears.

We have in Newsom the first Democrat leader who has effectively taken on Trump since his first election. There was no one who took the mantle in Trump 1.0 & Biden, our titular leader during Trump 2.0, effectively sat it out, unable to use his invaluable bully pulpit.

Why is it effective? Because Orange Jesus's weak spot is being humiliated. People laughing at him. Every dictator really fears this and between Newsom and South Park, you know he's throwing Catsup at the walls 24/7.

Appeals judge throws out Trump fraud case-‘’somebody always helps that girl’’

No, r276, not quite...

Oh My Gosh! The only thing I hate is the use of cheap-ass AI to produce this skip, but it directly mimics trump and his assholes

If you’re MAGA, you still should be eating only at Cracker Barrel.

Shows that MAGA only cares about logos and surface appeal

The other Democrats running for president are going to have a hard time beating Newsom. It's going to be like the Republican primary in 2016 where Trump overshadowed everyone.

Agreed, r285. If he is successful with this redistricting referendum he will be the presumptive Democratic Party leader. Once he starts getting photo ops with Obama, and one or more Clintons, he'll have the nomination on lock. He is Pelosi's boy.

Maybe pritzker?

As much as I like him, it’s way too early to anoint Newsom, who’ll no longer have this huge platform after next year. With the speed of things happening, he could be old news by the time primary/caucus voters start voting in 2028.

The age of the doormat Democrat is quickly falling out of fashion.

He’s got skeletons. But no one has more than trump!

The point is that he is getting Democrats to realize they can fight. If others stop cowering and actually start standing up against Trump, all the better. Too many Democrats assume that they can just wait out the Trump years.

News should go with Shapiro as a running mate.

Newsom

I love Newson's clowning of Trump, but it is maddening that so many think Newsom is "fighting for me!"

Passing legislation that changes my life for the better like Obamacare and tax credits is fighting for me, but the brain dead public seems to think these circus acts are much better. I'm enjoying the mockery more than most people, but it isn't "fighting for me", because it doesn't change a damned thing.

People like Brian Tyler Cohen are momentarily less shrill while swooning at these shenanigans. I'm more entertained than impressed, but in the age of Trump, I guess this is the only thing the public responds to?

Newson should hit back hard at that dummy Schwarzenegger by calling him "Hollywood Baby Daddy"

R294, unfortunately this is the world we live in and this is the world that gets the votes we need to get control back. Obviously Newsom is a media whore and is living for his big moment. ALL he has to be passionate for, according to me, is defeating Trump. That is all I care about. Doing that IS fighting for me.

[quote]He’s got skeletons. But no one has more than trump!

We are living in a world where skeletons are selling points, makes someone edgy and more interesting. I don't think there is anything you can do or say anymore that would turn people off. That is why the Epstein Files is a no sum game. If they had a video of Donald Trump molesting a 12 yo girl, his followers would refuse to believe it, period. And he seems to be unable to get convicted of anything that would land him anywhere close to jail. So Gavin is perfectly OK.

His delivery is like some mix of Bill Clinton and Obama. He sounds like Clinton at this point.

[quote]I love Newson's clowning of Trump

[quote]ALL he has to be passionate for, according to me, is defeating Trump.

Let's remember that if Newsom runs in 2028 he won't be running against Trump.

And Trump won't be on the ballot in 2026 either.

R298, but the focus now is flipping the House next year which will bring the freak Trump under some kind of control. Gavin might be running in 2028, but his ability to lead this charge and turn the House will be his biggest calling card for his election campaign.

So then Newsom will pivot. But he will all the more compelling as a candidate for having risen to the moment now. Our 2028 candidate is going to spontaneously emerge from hibernation.

The Dems are screaming, making billionaires the mortal enemy of the working people ( which they seem to be). Pritzker is a billionaire, so I'm not too sure how they can resolve that ,since they don't have state media to lie and mischaracterize everything.

[quote]News should go with Shapiro as a running mate.

That would be a mistake. Not unless the Gaza thing is settled by then. There is just too much hate going on right now with Israel and by association Jewish people in America who praise or support Israel.

Buttigieg would be a better VP pick. Youth, military background, intelligent, religious, and hate to say it but he's white. America wants white men only now, even if they are gay.

[quote]Let's remember that if Newsom runs in 2028 he won't be running against Trump.

Then again, he might be.

Newsom said that a top Trump ally sent him this cap.

he should run with pritzker

R304 And?

Amazing just a year ago he was marginalized at the convention. No speech. He only spoke when announcing the CA delegates for Harris.

You have a problem with my post R306?

Come on fucktard R306. I’m waiting.

You picked the wrong one on the wrong day.

Do you think r306 is lurking around itching to answer you? Just let the doofus roll off your back.

Thanks R310. I assume the little bitch went to the pharmacy to pick up his prescription. I’ll be around when he gets back.

Calm down R304, I am not R306, but the cloak and dagger of a top Trump ally clandestinely sending News that hat isn't a big deal when you consider that they are in the Oval Office Gift Shop Trump has set up and he shows them off himself to World Leaders who come to visit, letting them take whatever MAGA swag they want.

Trump is a master at trolling.

OF COURSE he's going to have a red TRUMP 2028 hat for sale and show it off to everyone. Would you expect otherwise?

And there will be fools who will believe it. Who will believe he'll be running for a third term. Fools.

R313, I’m waiting for your direct reply to my post at R308.

[quote] Let's remember that if Newsom runs in 2028 he won't be running against Trump.

Even better. Which one of Dump's cock fluffers is going to be the candidate in 2028? You know he will insist on picking the person.

Wow R86. Are you a racist?

You sound like Lumpy.

R117, glad to see you did not refer to Kamala as “Chuck Head Harris” as you have done so many times in the past.

R316 It was sarcasm. Obviously that is what the original post, the side-by-side comparison, was inferring.

[quote]glad to see you did not refer to Kamala as “Chuck Head Harris”

I never referred to her as “Chuck Head Harris”.

I referred her as "Chuckle Head Harris"....a truly appropriate name. I also said that she would never win the Presidency.

I'll say the same thing about Newsom.

My mistake that I wrote Chuck instead of Chuckle. Doesn’t excuse you’re being a smug ass by doing so.

I’m still waiting for a response to R308.

It's working for Gavin.

[quote]I’m still waiting for a response to [R308].

My response to R308? You want to know if I have a problem with that post. No, I don't. To the post at R304, wrote "and?" which would indicate wanting to know more.

[quote]My mistake that I wrote Chuck instead of Chuckle. Doesn’t excuse you’re being a smug ass by doing so.

Smug ass? Don't we mock all politicians? Trump, Vance, Biden and yes Kamala. Why should she be exempt?

I may be in the minority here, but I'm far more concerned about damage to tRump than benefit to Newsom.

Let's get through the fire first before we make s'mores

Keep spitting into the wind R322.

WE MISS YOU BILL/R259!

[quote]Keep spitting into the wind [R322].

The one spitting in the wind is you. You thought Kamala was going to win. Probably think Newsom has a chance too. Not gonna happen.

Oh look. We have our very own Tokyo Rose.

I'm thinking that newsom should gang up with Pritzker

[quote] Amazing just a year ago he was marginalized at the convention. No speech. He only spoke when announcing the CA delegates for Harris.

So he pivoted. It's a shame that in Amerikkka a woman or person of color would be derided for trolling Dump at his level. MAGA has never beat a white man at the national level. So I am all in for Newsom and his magic cloak of white male privilege slaying the dragon. Hopefully a good share of the MAGAts who could not countenance a woman or Black woman as president will be dead, homeless or too indisposed by a natural disaster to vote in 2028.

[quote] Having Steve Bannon on his podcast and throwing trans people under the bus killed any love I had for this grandstander.

You're just a fairweather floozy!

R321 Newsom is preaching to the choir. He doesn't appeal to the nation as a whole, especially being governor of woke California and being a woke Democrat who pushes unpopular far-left issues like open borders, DEI, CRT, trans/nonbinary ideology, socialism, anti-capitalism, etc. that are ruining his state.

R331 is practically a parody - every single reactionary culture war buzzword wedged in there somewhere. It's like a conservative robot talking.

California has now jumped from the fifth to the fourth-largest economy in the world. At some point maybe conservatives will realize that culture war issues are irrelevant to a strong economy. Mississippi isn't very "woke" but its economy is on the third-world level and is largely based on gambling.

Americans are more concerned about economic opportunity than trans issues or CRT or even supposedly open borders.

[quote] Americans are more concerned about economic opportunity than trans issues or CRT or even supposedly open borders.

I'm not so sure of that anymore.

At least somebody is doing SOMETHING.

Go, Gavin!

This shit is hilarious.

[quote]Americans are more concerned about economic opportunity than trans issues or CRT or even supposedly open borders.

A number of things can all be true at once. People are concerned about the economy AND they are also repelled by trans issues, an open border, CRT and etc.

Tomi “Toilet” Lahren 😂

A third of this thread is one persistent right wing cockroach screaming his little lungs out and leaving his turds here.

R331 is hilarious.

[quote]Newsom is preaching to the choir. He doesn't appeal to the nation as a whole, especially being governor of woke California and being a woke Democrat who pushes unpopular far-left issues

There are those here that think Newsom will be our next Pres.

It's the same crew who thought Biden would never drop out of the race and would go on to serve a second term. When that didn't work out, they were SURE Kamala would win.

Truth is, Newsom... a slick liberal from California.... will never appeal to the majority of voters in the next Presidential election.

In a country in which Trump - Trump! - was elected not once, but twice, ANYTHING is possible.

We don’t even know what the electorate will look like in 2028. Newsom is the first Democrat to break through, and r340 wants smother the campaign in its crib. Why not go for a walk in heavy traffic?

What R340 doesn’t realize is that there are a lot of slick liberals

[quote]Truth is, Newsom... a slick liberal from California.... will never appeal to the majority of voters in the next Presidential election.

Unlike the slimy con-man from Queens?

Newsom should go for it.

He’S sO rUdE!

Thanks so much for posting these word for word Fox News and hard right-wing media talking points about Newsom and California R331. So boring that you can't think for yourself. The problem for media parroting propagandists like you is that Newsom IS popular and Newsom IS cutting through and Trump and all the right-wing media are terrified because they can see it all slipping away.

If Newsome runs in 2028 then he will win.

At this stage it doesn't even matter if Newsom is the candidate in 2028, as long as this is the path that all future Democrats take. FLOOD social media with every example of corruption there is. Be provocative enough to call attention to it.

Congrats to him for taking this road.

FOX (“EDITS THE TAPES”) NEWS MUST CANCEL THEIR WEEKEND STINKERS IMMEDIATELY!!! THEY ARE VERY DISHONEST AND ALL THEY DO IS TRASH ME, GAVIN C.

LOL I love the Jesse Waters daddy remark. He needs to be outed.

Love the "FOX NEWS STINKERS"! I hope that one sticks.

lol!

To the magats trolling this thread, read this from Robert Teachman's Facebook page. It's quite an accurate and succinct a description of the trump administration.

The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House: “Jack White is a washed-up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career,” claimed White House spokesman Steven Cheung. “It’s apparent [White]’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House,'” Cheung added.

This is Jack White’s response… "Listen, I’m an artist and not a politician so I’m in no need to give my answer or opinion on anything if I’m not inspired or compelled, but how funny that it wasn’t me calling out trump’s blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress, his disparaging sexist and pedophilic remarks about women, his obvious attempts at distraction about being a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein and his inclusion in the Epstein files, his ignorance of the dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, his lack of empathy for military veterans and those struggling with poverty, his attempts to dismantle healthcare, his obvious wimpy and pathetic kowtowing to the dictators Putin and Kim Jong Un, his nazi like rallies, his attempts to sell merchandise and products like Goya beans through the office of the President, his fake 'gunshot to the ear' that he showed no medical records or photographs of, his constant, constant, constant lying to the American people, etc. etc. etc."

"No, it wasn’t me calling out any of that, it was the f*cking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults," he continued. "How petty and pathetic and thin skinned could this administration get? 'Masquerading as a real artist'? Thank you for giving me my tombstone engraving! Well here’s my opinion, trump is masquerading as a human being." "He’s masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy," he wrote. "He’s been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he’s involved in has prospered except by using other people’s money to find loophole after loophole and grift after grift."

"His staff of professional liar toadies like Steven Cheung and Karoline Leavitt have been covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism and fomenting hatred and division in this country on a daily basis," White went on. "And I have 'ample time on (my) hands'? That orange grifter has spent more tax payer money cheating at golf than helping ANYONE in the country. Improve. Anything. There is no progress with him, only smoke and mirrors and tax breaks for the ultra wealthy."

"So maga folk, enjoy your concrete paving over of the rose garden, your 200 million dollar ballroom in the White House, and your gaudy ass gold spray painted trinkets from Home Depot, cause he ain’t spending any money on helping YOU unless you fit into his white supremacist country club rich idiot agenda,"

"Wow, he hates who you hate....good for you, be proud of yourselves, how christian of you all,"

End of Part 1

Part 2 from R353

"The only way you can support this conman is because you are a victim of the 2 party system and you 'defend your guy no matter what he does.'" he wrote. "No intelligent person can defend this low life fascist. This bankruptor of casinos. This failed seller of trump steaks, trump vodka, trump water, etc." "This man and his goon squad have failed upwards for decades and have fleeced the American people over and over," wrote White. "This professional golf cheat, this grifter who has hundreds of thousands of deaths from his inaction of the pandemic on his hands, this man that the majority of the country somehow were fooled into supporting and voting into office (through the flawed electoral college) and their love of reality television stars."

"Being insulted by the actual White House that this particular conman leads is a badge of honor to me, because anyone who trump supports and likes is a villain who gives nothing to their fellow man, only takes what can benefit themselves,"

"And no I’m not a Democrat either, I’m a human being raised in Detroit, I’m an artist who’s owned his own businesses like his own upholstery shop and recording label since he was 21 years old who has enough street sense to know when a 3 card monte dealer is a cheap grifter and a thief,"

"I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world. I don't always state publicly my political opinions, and like anyone I don't always know all of the facts, but when it comes to this man and this administration I'm not going to be like one of the silent minority of 1930's Germany. This man is a danger to not just America but the entire world and that's not an exaggeration, he's dismantling democracy and endangering the planet on a daily basis, and we. all. know. it." -JW III...

'To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.' - Theodore Roosevelt"

Brilliant speech recently by Texas State Representative Anne Johnson to Governor Abbot. Magats, listen if you dare.

In part, she said, “This is about racism. And if you can’t hear it from them, then hear it from me."

She also said, “cowardice and cheats,” a “pure power grab,” and " When Donald Trump called Georgia and asked for 12,000 votes, they told him no. We already know what Abbott said. She went on "If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats. This is a blatant, racist power grab."

Bravo, Representative Johnson

Ling doesn't work. To hear the speech, try this.

If it doesn't work search for texas representative Anne Johnson speech to Governor Abbot

I'm now a total Jack White fan. It's also nice to know that, like me, he's a Detroit Tigers fanatic.

[quote] Ling doesn't work.

Ling Ling? I thought that panda was very hard working.

Off topic, I know, but that dude Gavin Newsom could totally play the Commissioner in any Batman movie

Steven Cheung never responded to Newsom. I suspect he knows he's going to be called Bunsen Honeydon't and he's too chicken shit.

This is quite good. Note the inclusion of the Newsom family doodle.

It would be great for Newsom to up his attacks to something substantive, serious, sbd popular. Healthcare or economic inequality or cost of living. He has the platform now and should use it.

R361, sorry, these stupid images all make me laugh

R353/R354, get a goddamn blog. You’re the same one who swore Trump wouldn’t win and kept screaming Mighty Joe Biden.

That was not r353/354. It's a cut and paste of Jack White's response to Cheung/Trump. Did you not see the numerous quotation marks, r364. Perhaps, get some goddamn reading glasses?

Granny grunt don’t hav no time to put on those readin glasses!

[QUOTE]It would be great for Newsom to up his attacks to something substantive, serious, sbd popular. Healthcare or economic inequality or cost of living. He has the platform now and should use it.

R362 - What has led you to believe he hasn't or not been doing it for his entire career? As a Californian, I know he has protected ACA/Obamacare from the very start.

Are you senior-lesbian now that females have refrained from outing themselves on DL lest banning? If you are, I recall your Newsom hate stems from your stated hate of the Guilfoyle wife-choice.

Perhaps you could set aside your resentment about Latinas (I recall they're a personal attraction) and stick to the facts.

From another thread:

Thirty years ago, Newsom was wise to choose the daughter of the biggest Democratic fixer in San Francisco, Anthony Guilfoyle. Recussitating from another Kimbo post:

[QUOTE]It really wasn't a bad move back then, [R114]. She wasn't always so nutty Actually, it was a very smart, good one. Her father was a former cop and fixer for the SF Democratic party. Newsom was a Getty beneficiary, but Anthony Guilfoyle was from the other end of the SES spectrum. Working class stiff. Who made it.

[QUOTE]In San Francisco, Mr. Guilfoyle had a wide range of friends, in and out of the city's political establishment, and he became an entrenched member of Gavin Newsom's inner circle, both in Newsom's successful campaigns for his post on the Board of Supervisors and later during Newsom's 2003 campaign for mayor.

[QUOTE]Mr. Guilfoyle, known in political inner circles as "The Godfather," had many roles, from keeping the campaign workers fed as they worked into the wee hours, to counseling Newsom on the occasionally arcane ins and outs of San Francisco politics.

[QUOTE]"He was the one who took care of everybody," his daughter said Monday. "He was the communicator. He ran the back channels. He was tremendous when it came to dealing with field strategy. He was a key adviser to Gavin, talking to him about San Francisco, telling him who you can trust, giving him the measure of a person's integrity."

[QUOTE]It would be great for Newsom to up his attacks to something substantive, serious, sbd popular.

You've not been observing, have you?

R54 no she didn’t. She disrespected an entire demographic no matter how accurate she was. Other than that she talked like a politician. Notice that Trump never bashes regular people; he bashes celebrity figures, politicians. He bashes illegals. He never bashes citizens. He was savvy enough to never mention race when discussing crime in our cities. He knows his stankin ass would have never garnered 20% of the black male vote had he done so. Trump always brings it back to career politicians causing the dysfunction in our society. When Hill made those comments she was frustrated that she wasn’t doing better in the polls. I’m guessing them internals were also stressing her. Come Election Day we see why.

[quote]Notice that Trump never bashes regular people

I thought Dump recently said he hated the residents of DC (because 90% of them voted for Joe and Kamala).

Of course he did

Democrats are not the ones who voted for the lunatic fringe now ruining, I mean running, the government.

Newsom is the best communicator Democrats have had since Bill Clinton.

Is that an actual show on Fox? How can they stand it?

This is incredible!

He's also posting this about each and every Red State idiot

Good for him

Facts matter.

[quote] Newsom is the best communicator Democrats have had since Bill Clinton.

I beg your pardon!

I think we’ve found our effective communicator.

Are you high, r369?

R369 got some bad shit.

Go Governor Big Dick!!

blocked years ago

No, r382, a troll.

Damn I’m out of F&Fs for R369.

I love how every Fox talking head is like "this is a waist of his time, no one cares, bla bla bla" And yet they cant stop talking about him. 😂

"We're worried that Newsom's crude it-for-tat tweets will turn off Independent voters! They're so important to us! He should stop and rise above Trump's petty politics!"

No one in the Democratic party said that r389. It's Repugs, and Fox news types saying that.

However they are on the wrong side of things when they are not yet backing Zohran Mamdani for Mayor. That guy is a shooting star to the top and the establishment is held hostage by AIPAC PAC who donates millions to people like Hakeem Jeffries and Cory Booker.

You fucking soft ass Mary’s keep FFing. I do not like Trump nor did I vote for him. Truth is truth.

[quote] this is a waist of his time

Oh dear.

[quote]However they are on the wrong side of things when they are not yet backing Zohran Mamdani for Mayor.

Ohmygawd. I think you're actually serious.

Jew-hating, feckless "Democratic Socialists" are never not on "the wrong side of things".

R393 =AIPAC

Your bigotry is showing. Zohran Mamdani is not a hater, stop spreading lies.

[quote] Nick Fuentes is endorsing Gavin Newsom now.

Nick is a self-loathing closeted gay Mexican from Berwyn. Anyone serious about white nationalism would find him a joke.

Gavin needs to troll Trump harder and continuously.

I was hoping he might say something about Chris "the Cocid Kid" Christie, but I guess that would be pushing it.

^ Covid Kid

Newsom is missing an opportunity to fire back about having healthy hands that aren't rotting and normal size ankles. Can you imagine the catsup on the wall if he his him on his health?

Lincoln Project has been on it.

Other Democrats seem to be taking Newsom’s cue and getting more directly confrontational and mocking. it’s a start.

[quote]Gavin Newsom's press team has unveiled a new nickname for Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem following her repeated comments about California. The now-infamous Governor Newsom Press Office account on X branded Noem as "Kowgirl Kristi," warning that she would "ride into America's nightmares."

who?

That awful woman who looks like someone shot her in the face R403.

God, who has to help Dump wedge his canckles into his tight shoes. I wonder if Stephen Cheung has that honor.

From the looks of him, he would have a lot of experience at it, r405.

Cankles Mc Taco Tits.

[quote] God, who has to help Dump wedge his canckles into his tight shoes. I wonder if Stephen Cheung has that honor.

This implies that Cheung is able to bend over or kneel.

Cheung comes from a 4th rate university, Sac State, that he never managed to graduate from.

I have a feeling Steven Miller from Duke hates his squinty Chinese ass.
