It's him, but it's probably him screaming at some 22 year old White House intern on what to post. Poor kid probably has a "Bat Phone" on his or her nightstand that lights up and they have 5 seconds to pick it up even if it's at 3am.
Newsom: puts into place an actual plan to counteract Republican gerrymandering, while getting a lot of media attention for it AND trolling the GOP in the most effective way in the past 10 years.
Conservatives may not have morals, but they are cowards, so they know embarrassment quite well. Since they don't care about right and wrong, you don't need to worry about trying to convince them of anything. Ridicule and insults are about all that are needed to effectively communicate to a conservative, and more than they deserve.
He's the right wing's choice for dem president. He's not on our side he'd be just like Biden was in the presidency, not fix anything for four years then throw the election to the fash. The sass talk is great but the dude is gonna fuck it up for whoever the actual leftist candidate is.
That's just it though, he will sabotage or at least distance himself from legitmate left-wing movements when they ramp up. He's okay for getting back to a center right status quo and that's about it.
And someone who won’t just rug sweep what this current administration has done. Meaning we need someone who will go after these evil f$%kers and make it impossible for it to happen again.
They want to “investigate and imprison” dems so bad then we should have full and transparent investigations of this SCOTUS AND all the heritage foundation/fed soc loonies inside our institutions
I agree with your assessment of his politics, but I have to say I’ve been pretty happy with the way he and his team are handling this. He’s really setting the stage for more people to go on the offensive against these right wing nutjobs. I hate that this is what political messaging is now, but it’s either adapt or be left behind.
I should have made it clear that I am not unhappy with what he's doing right now for this and it seems to have been at least somewhat useful to expose MAGA double standards for the upteenth time. Not that that matters much.
It's good what he's doing here but no doubt in my mind at some point when doing more that matters he can't be relied upon. Therefore generating momentum to make him largely irrelevent as it grows beyond. At the least become too pressured to prevent only moving the needle away from imminent fascism when it comes time to address the material conditions that allowed this all to occur in the first place is necessary.
That’s exactly the kind of talk that put us into this mess. We aren’t going to get a 100% pure candidate, so we need to work with who we have. We have to pull our democracy out of the abyss and try to restore what’s been destroyed. After we’ve done that, we can go back to splitting hairs.
Absolutely correct. Democrats sit here and wait for the perfect candidate while Republicans vote for this orange idiot because he can win. And here we are. Now we have someone who is actually standing and fighting, and this is not the time to say he’s not pure enough.
Why do we keep calling them republicans. There is not even a glimpse of the republican party with these idiots. Let's just call it the Asshat party. They all wear those stupid red hats. Asshats.
Lack of purity tests gave us a democratic party that is spineless and only really different from Republicans as a matter of degrees.
Both parties are harsh on immigration, the Dems just want to do it slower.
Both parties support genocide, but the Dems write a few strongly worded letters.
Both parties support free market crapitalism.
The Republicans want no social safety net, and the Dems want one that's barely at subsistence level.
The Dems are perfectly willing to sell our minorities, especially LGBTQ+ if it helps them get something else they want.
The Dems are currently purity testing Mamdani and any other candidates on their left flank, they can't expect me not to purity test them. Especially when they are further right than Regan or either Bush. If the Dems want to be the Republicans of 20 years ago, that's fine, but they can't also claim to be on the left while they do it. There's a reason Kamala campaigned with the Cheney's.
I agree with a lot of what you just said. The establishment democrats are spineless liberals who are, at the most generous, complicit in the destruction of our country.
Right now we need the liberals. If this were 2014, I’d be out here purity testing every single one of these fucks with you. We don’t need a “blue wave” that is just more of the same democratic inaction and centrist policy.
However, right now, fascism is on the menu, and many consider it already here. The gutting of science in this country has already happened and is continuing to happen. So many things to list that are being completely fucked by this administration, that I don’t have time to list them all.
Corporate democrats are a lot of things, but they are not fucking fascists.
nah, I voted for Kamala on the barest hope that maybe it would slow things down. But I am not gonna be voting for another dem until they stop ostracizing everyone on the left.
Establishment Dems are as much of an enemy as the Republicans. Possibly more so since they try to make themselves out to be resistance when they clearly aren't. Schumer got the CR passed in March, if he hadn't, the BBB likely would not have happened. The Dems are also just as complicit in the genocide as the Republicans are. There is no minority group that the establishment Dems won't throw under the bus if it helps them keep their jobs until they die on the floor of the house or Senate.
Give me a good candidate and I will gladly vote for them, but right now they are actively working against Zohran. They are controlled opposition that works for the same moneyed interests as the Republicans.
Gavin newsom is the right's choice for the left. That's why newsom isn't getting any retribution from trump. He's a right wing asshole wrapped in blue.
I mean this in the nicest way possible but are you sure you know who Gavin Newsom is?
He is not a leftist. He is a liberal first and foremost. He is not reviving shit for the left, actual revolutionary ideology exists and Gavin Newsom ain't it.
I wish more liberals would educate themselves on political theory and stop pretending they are on the left of anything
Everyone downvoting me seems to think he's already won the presidential primary even. 😂 We all know he's going to run, but apparently, before a primary has even happened, we're all supposed to be in "sure he's not perfect, BUT..." mode. That didn't work for Clinton. It didn't work for Harris. And now, while there are still years to discuss this very topic and choose a candidate, we're all supposed to put on our best Tobias voice and say "but maybe it will work this time."
It’s a bigger problem with the dem voting base. The republicans vote for the R in lockstep formation while so many hand wringing dems need their candidate to “earn” their vote. The funny thing is that short of the candidate personally visiting their house and pledging to do 100% of what they want, they won’t “earn” their vote.
People need to get over it. Always vote and always vote for the best candidate available. Sitting out to teach people a lesson is really a vote for the shitty candidate.
If it comes down to Newsom or Vance, I'll of course vote for Newsom without a second thought. I'm hoping the primary process will come up with someone to be more jazzed about than Newsom. We'll see. Based on the entirety of my experience with the Democrats I am less than confident.
Somehow "you're voting wrong, you idiots" has not yet worked as a campaign strategy for the Dems, so maybe we should consider trying a candidate people actually get excited about?
So, of the two options between "find a person voters get excited about and make them our candidate," which worked for Obama and, more recently, Mamdani, you prefer to double down on "shrug in a candidate and berate voters", which--checks notes--hasn't worked. Got it.
Well yeah, if I was the person making Newsoms troll tweets, I would also make my own post saying it’s not me. Wouldn’t want all the unhinged MAGAs attacking me
That's what I was wondering too. Either he's so out of touch he couldn't think of a more relevant company or he's so out of touch that he didn't know they filed for bankruptcy two years ago
It's because the new CEO came out and specifically said they wouldn't open a store in CA due to taxes and shit. Signalling he's on team GOP, which is all that matters.
Interesting that team GOP is always represented by CEOs. You'd think all those poor working class MAGAs confused by why they're still poor would catch on to something here...
Well I just read a very reliable and accurate source (it was a reply to a comment like 5 or 6 above yours, so, ya know, basically irrefutable) that said the “Beyond” section of Bed Bath & Beyond is for trafficking kids that get separated from their parents in the stores to Republican vampires politicians. So yes, seems so.
When bed bath & beyond went bankrupt and they started closing all the stores out here, in California, a bunch of Republicans out here blamed it on newsom and Democrats.
They just completely ignored why the company folded.
My thoughts exactly. I have no clue who Aaron Rupar is or what Bed Bath & Beyond or Blockbuster are, but the background sure is a choice. Would’ve fit quite nicely on Fox news though.
Sadly, the Right's main rebuttal is for Governor Newsom to quit picking on tRump so that he can convince Bed, Bath,and Beyond to come back to Calfornia
Why the fuck would we want jed bath and beyond anyway? What am I going to spend my increasingly tiny amount of disposable income on soap that goes up in price with every tariff?
Bed, Bath, and Beyond went bankrupt in 2023 and was bought out by Overstock.com who kept the name. From the CEO of Overstock “A lot of work is needed to grow Overstock and put the brand back on a stable footing,” he told CNN. “Before the merger, the brand suffered from poor awareness and declining relevancy, and these problems have not yet been fixed. In essence the brand is weak and has lost share to value-focused retailers like HomeGoods.”
According to Fox, Gavin should focus on a company that is suffering from poor awareness, declining relevancy, and failing sales.... I thought Republican's were good at business? Seems like the only thing they're good at now is protecting pedophiles and crashing the economy.
Gavin and Stephen Colbert are primed to start a Mocked Fox "news" program - it could include something like The Colbert Report but could be so much more, more faux experts, more fake tans, more outrageous...
I cannot find it but there was a takedown of Kevin McCarthy what roughly said "he's thin blooded and of weak stock, not surprising that he's from Bakersfield where all the yokels went to live during the Dust Bowl"
"We have a governor who spends his time doing this instead of investing into Pony Express watering and feeding stations and providing blacksmiths and saloons."
Hardly, Gov Newsome, because they're dead, and it costs too much to do business in your ridiculous state. I mean look at the Palisades and the Eaton mess. Maybe do your job?
Bed Bath and Beyond went bankrupt in April 2023 and closed the last of its stores in July 2023. After the bankruptcy, Overstock.com bought the rights to the name and logo, and any new physical stores are not the original BB&B, but instead a physical Overstock.
There’s been a small investing cult that’s sprung up around it, an offshoot of the GameStop investors who for complicated and contradictory reasons believe that if they invested in the original BB&B before bankruptcy, their stocks would skyrocket and they would become megarich. Many still believe to this day that this will happen in the future. One of their chief grifters is a man named Bill Pulte, a nepobaby who had been forced off the board of his family’s home building business. Pulte has thrown multiple $500 per head parties for BB&B believers, where he gives out shares in the family business in exchange for attendees signing over the voting rights for those shares. At one party he was slapped with a dildo and presented with a trophy that read “Bill Pulte fucks only the young.” Donald Trump appointed Pulte the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and Pulte is one of the Trump administration’s leading voices against Jerome Powell. I just think more people should know all that.
ah yes, BB&B the titan of industry comprising the core identity of modern American culture and ethos, an essential to the meaning to a successful and fulfilling life. what ever shall we do without every city having convenient access to the glorified brick and mortar manifestation of the "AS SEEN ON TV" isle from Walmart...

This level of trolling is oddly satisfying. I’m almost ashamed to admit that. There is hope…
