He forgot, “THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.”
He might use ENJOY! - GOVERNOR GCN as his tagline
GCN hits me in the nostalgia as the abbreviation for the GameCube.
If only he cared as much about taxing billionaires as he cared about dunking on them.
Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.
Newsom is a dildo, but his team has the right idea memeing on cheeto man
It’s the best way to attack Trump. You can point out all of his lies and hypocrisy until you’re blue in the face but it won’t matter because he doesn’t care about reality nor do his followers.
Trump is a bully, and like all bullies he can give it out but he absolutely cannot take it. He’s got onion thin skin, trolling him is the best way of retaliating.
I gotta admit, he’s a really good troll. Still don’t want him to be president.
you just know
I know, and I hate it.
In 2028 we’ll have a AOC > Newsom handoff in the same vein as Bernie > Clinton.
That’s fucking bleak
My favorite word in politics: Primaries! Get working now, newscummers sure are!
we can just attach his social media manager to someone good and get all of the positives
How cool would it be if each person’s portrait looked like this on their license tho…
That would be awesome! My current license looks like a mugshot because they told me not to smile.
Newsom is pathetic. Here’s to a full 2028 primary where he finds out exactly how unwanted his politics are before he gets anywhere near that nomination.
It’s kind of frightening to see how many people in this thread have taken this completely seriously.
Fuck Newsom, but this is clearly tongue in cheek
I think they might be bots. They read like YT comments.
I think they might be bots.
I’m not!
They read like YT comments.
YT comments are just text, so they can’t read at all. For that you’re going to want a Readerbot 3000.
The anti Newsom rhetoric is interesting in this comment thread…
Guys he’s not trump. What more can we ask for at this point.
Shit is take dubbya right now.
Hitler isn’t Trump either. What’s your point?
Gavin “What’s AIPAC?” Newsom can fuck the hell off. Along with mass murderin’ Dubbya.
It’s strange how people label past presidents as “mass murderers,” when nearly every president since Jimmy Carter has authorized major military action in the Middle East. That includes Obama, who even received the Nobel Peace Prize. I’m not defending those decisions, but the inconsistency is obvious.
The reality is, the candidates I’d actually want don’t stand a chance. Sanders tried and failed, and others like AOC aren’t even running. I’m not voting for someone like JD Vance either.
At this point, the system feels like a team sport. Most people vote along party lines, not on policy. And in the end, we’re usually choosing between two candidates already approved by their parties.
So my vote isn’t about idealism. It’s strategic. I’ll vote for Newsom, because voting for a third-party candidate risks splitting the vote and increasing the chances of someone like Trump getting back into office and that’s an outcome I want to avoid.
I’m down. But only because the ID won’t have my photo on it anymore. Down with photo IDs.
I’ve genuinely never heard that before, why, if I may ask?
Because their primary purpose is to allow the state to surveil you. Which I don’t think is good.
Well, yeah, that is the primary purpose, but I don’t see how one can effectively have a modern state without Photo ID. I loathe surveillance, but I accept minor infringements upon me that I recognize as necessary for the sake of us all in many areas. Sorry if I’m explaining poorly!
I envision replacing the state’s central ID databases with a federated system of ID verifiers who have trust among each other and who are run by their members democratically. That way you can choose a verifier that you trust to keep your data private but can vouch for your among broader society.
Very similar to the way the fediverse works. I have my account along one instance, but other instances allow my identity as LibertyLizard to exist as a quasi-account elsewhere so that I can interact with everyone, and so everyone knows I am me. However my true identity does not need to be known for this to work.
I’ve been thinking along similar lines as this implicitly allows you to have multiple IDs, and for a lot of things it works well, especially if you can choose what attributes to attach to a specific ID, so, for instance, you could gave an ID that says you’re over 18, but gives no other information, and a separate one with your name and address.
Where it falls down is when you need to ensure individuals are only counted once, for instance, when voting. You could have a state ID issuer, but that gets us right back to the original problem.
Every time I see the Governor, I’m reminded of that Lion King song: Oh I just can’t wait to be king!
People will say it’s him or Hitler, because it takes that kind of relief to make Newsom acceptable to a progressive. So I’m just going to say now: I’m not voting for him. Don’t start lecturing me about vulnerable people because Newsom already threw trans people under the bus. He also actively hates homeless people. And being inhuman to migrants is more Californian than Hollywood.
If “saving America” means voting for Sheriff James Davis over Adolf Hitler, then you have to wonder, is she worth saving?
Jesus fucking Christ, we’re starting this already? I don’t give a fuck how much you don’t like him you’d be the kind of fool that got us into this mess in the first place of you don’t get off your ass and vote against Hitler.
Otherwise, kindly FUCK OFF!
Liberals and Communists unable to hold their noses and hold hands in the face of Fascism has historically only ever worked out well, right?
…right?
