The Winner and Still.........

[Dos Equis]

Governor of the great state of California (and by a landslide I might add) Gavin "I fucked Kimmy Guilfoyle 1st" Newsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's like bragging that the governor of Alabama survived recall against Democrat candidates.  Nothing to brag about.  Newsome is still a terrible leader. 

I also just listened to an older clip of him being interviewed.  He's really an empty suit.  Cannot think on his feet.  Another version of Obama and others who rose to power out of that state.

The one good thing that came out of this is that Newsome is done as a political candidate.  Outside of California.

On second thought, although there is no way he gets elected POTUS, he could get elected senator in that state.  Would not surprise me at all.

Crazy how people support that guy.  Politics over everything for some people.

Hopefully when Feinstein croaks he'll appoint himself to her Senate seat.

I mean, think about this. It makes no difference whether you support someone with a conservative or liberal political viewpoint, in today's arena, only a fool or an egomaniac would consider running for office. You seem like an intelligent and logical person (even though I don't always/rarely agree with you), would you pursue a life as an elected politician? If you say yes....then go get your head examined.

I'm sure he would.  He would fit right in with all those dirtbags in Congress.

Bruh I have been asked to run for political office numerous times.  I have given the same response every time:  not in this lifetime or alternatively when it snows in Honolulu. 

There is no way I would ever subject myself to that crap.  These people, particularly the left, have no boundaries.  They branded Kavanaugh as a gang rapist.  That man was a friggin choir boy.  They called Larry Elder a white supremacist and his ex girlfriend filed a criminal complaint over an absurd incident from like six years ago.  They called Dr. Ben Carson a racist extremist and interviewed his middle school classmates to try and disprove a story from his autobiography.  They are criminalizing political differences. 

This is the reason good people like Colin Powell refused to run.

Crazy how a guy supposed to be in a recall election and he gets a higher percentage of votes than he did when he first got elected.

A lot of this kind of stuff doesn't pass the smell test.  But one of the things a lot of people don't think about is fraud and other kinds of misconduct of that nature are by definition something done in secret, with people trying to cover their tracks.  Very difficult to prove.

It may be that there were fewer voters for this recall, hence the higher percentage.

Good point.

Could be, but you think the people who had enough would vote. Who really knows these days.

Funny hw the Harvey Weinstein stuff was totally ignored y Libturdz though.
They lost their shit over it when it was convenient.

Whack-jobs...

[Thin Lizzy]

Newsom won his original election in a landslide and that’s how he won this one. People seem to be having a hard time accepting that California is done and is essentially a leading indicator of the country as a whole.

Once Texas turns blue it’s game over.

#metoo lead had to resign over helping Cuomo, #metoo board was dissolved so the hollywood cunts on it didn't have to resign and face scrutiny, BLM lead resigns over extravagant housing purchases........media relatively silent on all of it.

It's always puzzling how Republicans crow and cheer about how residents of CA and NY are "fleeing" for TX and FL.  Two vastly blue states are sending it's supporters to swell the ranks of red states don't exactly seem to be a like a thing conservatives would be proud of.   Seeing the long game must not be an option.

I get this.

But I don't think they are sending supporters, they are leaving due to certain conditions.

But it's also odd that people would flee a state, then vote for the same types of folks that caused the conditions that made them leave.

Republicans "crow and cheer" about that, because it shows that they were right that certain liberal policies SUCK. Who wants to pay over $4 for gas? I don't.

And I LOVE TAX BREAKS. There's a reason military people re-enlist overseas in combat zones: THEY GET ALL THEIR MONEY (especially signing bonuses).

They also have their home of record in a no-state-tax plan, when possible. Even when I was stationed in spots with state/commonwealth, county, and city income taxes, I didn't pay ANY OF IT, because Florida was/is my home of record.

I get this.

As my favorite pastor said about the Exodus, "It took days to get the Israelites out of Egypt. But it took FORTY YEARS to get Egypt out of the Israelites."

After four hundred years of bondage, the Israelites are freed from Pharoah's grip. Two months after being delivered, they waxed poetic about Egypt, built a golden calf, and want Moses (the very deliverer for whom they prayed) EXECUTED.


Plus, we've all sadly heard about the battered woman who leaves her abusive man.....only to run right back to him or find another jerk just like him.

That Texas is trending blue would fly in the face of the arguments that California is sending conservative supporters there.

Liberals should be very happy with the way things are going. We have two parties: socialists and the party that gives lip service to the idea of limited government.

That is what is so demoralyzing.

It is just my opinion, so it might not be worth much. My suspicion is that the harder Republicans push their extremely conservative agenda, i.e. the recent abortion law changes, the bigger the backlash from those folks who are moderate and liberal will be and Texas will definitely turn blue. It is unlikely the majority of of the population ultra conservative.

This.  It will have nothing to do with those people leaving from other states.

Meh.  I doubt it.  Abortion doesn't drive most people's votes. 

I want to say that today's whacked out liberal ideology will start to alienate a lot of people, but they have powerful weapons with big tech, the media, academia, and Hollywood.  They control the narrative.  They can censor pretty much whatever they want. 

Think about this:  Trump is banned from Twitter, but the Taliban is not.
