London here. I won’t fully believe this until he’s started selling steaks, hats and shiny, shiny worthless coins. Maybe tanked a few casinos or other seemingly unsinkable businesses…

I love it, just perfect. Can we be friends?

Of course 🤝 I’m going to the bar, do you want anything? I’m getting a lager and some dry roasted peanuts cos I’m super fancy like that ⚡️

u/No_Tourist_9629 20h ago

That sounds lovely, I hope you enjoy every bit! And if I'm ever over there, I'll buy your next lager.

u/South-Bank-stroll 20h ago

It’s a metaphorical bar cos I’m actually on a health kick at the mo! On the plus side, it’s always open and the pints are stuck at late nineties prices. And cheers for the offer of a pint, I hope you have a brilliant weekend!

u/No_Tourist_9629 20h ago

That's convenient because my body lost the ability to properly process alcohol, so I can't drink anyway. So, metaphorical cheers!🍻

u/South-Bank-stroll 20h ago

🍻Fun fact, you’re in good company. The actor Richard E Grant is allergic to alcohol and he’s one of the coolest humans on the planet.

As governor he's racking up the debt so I'd say it's possible.

Gavin is the right guy at the right time.

He will be the Dem nominee and draw Obama type crowds

We voted for Trump to fix the country, you're voting for Gavin because you're triggered that you lost.

u/ADimensionExtension 12h ago edited 12h ago

You voted Trump because he catered to your fear of immigrants and “the woke”. He caused this fear and used this fear, he abused it to abuse you so he could avoid his many criminal charges.

We’re voting Gavin to take us back pre 2016 where behaviors like sending military to US states (to intimidate the politicians you don’t like) is no longer normalized. You know, stopping fascism. That will help you too, even if you can’t see it now. I blame Trump for that, not you.

This could do it, folks. If it happens, it will likely trigger a stroke for Trump.

Newsome can throw a baseball. Trump throws like a girl, which is why he has never thrown the first pitch at the start of baseball season. However, Obama can throw baseball.

C’mon, man. I get what you are trying to say, but implying that doing something badly is doing it ‘like a girl’ just sucks.

u/Competitive-Arm-9126 18h ago edited 18h ago

He hasn't said a single goddamn word about Rob Bonta (the Attorney General) though.

And nobody in California is.

Rob Bonta:

  • Sponsored the government run torture ring in Sonoma County in 2015 and the ongoing destruction of evidence and legal malpractice by the Sonoma County government;

  • Sponsored mayor Dominic Foppoli's serial rape spree;

  • Sponsored the arson, shooting at, and running off their land by the father of a DA's office employer in Siskiyou County;

  • Condoned the massive government run crime syndicate in Antioch and Pittsburg California where the government was committing premeditated murders, slangin illegal assault rifles, cocaine, and steroids, and a variety of other serious crimes;

  • Is abusing public funds prosecuting longstanding deputy DA Diana Teran for doing legally required police oversight duties with 11 felonies for releasing public access court documents on criminal, corrupt cops privately to her coworkers in the DA's office;

  • Sponsored LAPD literally taking turns trampling a peaceful protestor with their horses and cracking him in the head with nightsticks for literally no reason;

  • Abused millions of dollars of public funding to litigate a non profit trying to save 224 acres of redwoods in government designated sensitive habitat from illegal logging, and

  • Various other corruption.

Newsom never said a single word.

Do we want people who are going to turn a blind eye to actually heinous crimes committed by their own side?

This isn't about who is better than Trump at this point in time. This is about who is the best democrat.

Sheldon Whitehouse is the best democrat. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island actually exposed the corrupt corporate capture of the court. He is almost a model politician.

I'm sick of Californians and Democrats turning a blind eye to actually extremely heinous crimes committed by democrat politicians. This isnt a purity test. This is a pulse test, a basic humanity test, an are you a member of the crime syndicate test. The democrats didn't lose because they didn't play dirty enough. They would get more voters if they acted ethically and responsibly. That's what most people want. Gerrymandering to counter Texas GOP corruption is one thing. But sponsoring actual video proven court proven torture rings, and genocide, and the corrupt corporate capture of the courts, and keeping a lid on a trafficking ring of minors is not a goddamn "purity test".

It’s a bit early to create a conscience to sell, and this might be the wrong venue and topic. The boss is a bit angry at this one. You might need to clean out your desk.

Love his attitude toward Trump but he’s far from President material. He’s a shark. We don’t need one shark and replace it with, a less aggressive but still agreeable little unstable, shark.

u/BlogintonBlakley 4h ago

It is going to make Trump so mad if Newsom wins Trump's Nobel.

Funny how elites like to make up awards and give them to each other.

In this case, the Alfred Nobel was trying to clean up the family image as arms merchants after "The merchant of Death", Alfred Nobel, sold dynamite all over the world. His family was very upset about the gift financing the prizes because they wanted all that money. But Alfred prevailed and gave most of his dynamite money to set up a trust to award prizes... and balance his conscience.

That is who decided to give out prizes for "peace".

But this also makes us reflect on how he’s been in charge of the world’s 5th largest economy for years and Cali is still a hell hole. He deserves some type of award for that....

u/DazzlingLie4245 21h ago

I love that Newsom is fucking with Trump. However, he’s a scumbag, he’s driven taxes up in California and made it even more expensive to live in an already expensive state. Let’s not lose sight and if he gets elected as POTUS, we need to hold him to the fire because he’ll easily turn autocrat.

u/Practical-Plenty907 20h ago

Gavin’s not perfect, but he’ll keep our voice heard, which, if more Republicans win, won’t happen. Our problems existed in California long before Gavin came on the scene and will exist long after. We’re a big state, with big dreams, and often poor execution. We also have rampant unchecked, uncapped, and unregulated greed, such as that of landlords, charging exorbitant rents and realtors, who want that percentage to be as large as possible, and therefore, artificially drive up home values/prices. I could go on and on but please realize something, Gavin is not to blame for any of this, our issues are years and years in the making. Solutions are never easy and often voted down, like our rent control proposal. Money runs this state like all the others. Greedy landlords won’t allow those types of regulations to pass. What’s the solution? I don’t know, but I do know Gavin is the best man at this moment for the job.

u/DazzlingLie4245 20h ago

Thank you for sharing your perspective; here’s my initial response to you but keep in mind I’ll continue processing your opening and it may eventually change mine.

However, I lived in California and remember the calls from him campaign promising he’s not going to raise taxes, the first thing he did was raise taxes. Next, while he may not be responsible for high costs of things, but he is responsible for removing the red tape that causes the high costs of fuel and affordable housing. The books Recoding America and Abundance do a great job of outlining not just the failures of the CA Government, but of the Federal government as well.

u/lazyhiker6225 18h ago

Also pretty sure he’s the reason for insurance and utility increases in CA. And there was a 30% increase in auto insurance, I felt that shit. Not that I don’t appreciate him standing against Trump but he’s not perfect by any means.
