Gavin Newsom addresses the nation

[BlueSteel]

I only listened until the first commercial or until I thought “this is absolute horse shit” so 5 minutes at a time max. It wasn’t healthy. I don’t know how people spend hours of their day every day in that fever swamp.

It's called brainwashing. Luckily, you had the requisite IQ to not be susceptible to it.

Ddepends your financial status and

I love going to brick and mortar bookstores. Just wandering around I see books I have never heard of but immediately want to read. Then I buy the digital copies. Yeah, I feel like the scum of the Earth every time I do that. But you are right about the average age in bookstores being well below my age. If I see someone even approaching my age in a bookstore, then they are usually wearing a tag with their name on it. Lately I have found myself studiously avoiding looking at all the young women in bookstores. I figure the absolutely last thing any of these young women want in their lives is some old fart like me ogling them.

Depends on your financial status and proclivity to be generous with it. Young folks today have no shame in their game.

I hope people don’t mind my little diversion here. I just want to shift the focus away from giving one particular poster a hard time. So let’s change the subject a little and discuss how Spaceballs totally ripped off the Star Wars movies.

Lol...well played.

'Embarrassing for them': MAGA called out after Newsom 'exposes their humiliating behavior'

A progressive analyst fired back at President Donald Trump's supporters, who are calling on a prominent Democratic lawmaker to shape up his online behavior. For the last several days, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been trolling Trump online by imitating his syntax, diction, and capitalization...

Eventually, Newsom will stumble over one that goes too far for too many people and have to apologize and cool it. As far a I can tell, there is no too far for Trump in the hearts of MAGA.

Then why will there be a too far for trolling Trump?

Gavin Newsom trolled his way to the top of social media​

And as an homage to the Spaceballs/Starwars we need a meme with Gavin dressed up like Darth looking at a pathetic Trump saying: “Don, I’m your father!”

There is no " too far " as long as Gavin mocks and mirrors Trump's idiotic lying social posts

From Fox News host: “…and you think that we don’t get the joke, oh no, we get the joke, it’s just not funny.”

I’m sorry if folks can’t see the humor in all of this. I’ve always heard “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Trump and his team should be flattered. They should be head over heels that Trump is being imitated. It should give him and his side a sense of pride and accomplishment to have a leading Dem and Governor of the great State of California doing exactly this.

Trump and his childish, sophomoric, bullshit tweet game, and his mean meme game is sadly not funny - and imitating same can also seem unfunny… I get that.

But let’s be perfectly clear, this “imitation” is NOT flattering… it’s mimicry, not imitation. It’s parody and NOT placating. And it IS INDEED FUNNY AS HELL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Ummm, I used to listen to conservative radio a bit while I was driving to get a sense of what the crazies were currently raging about. Right around the debate last year I was reading a maga message board. The day before the debate there were a lot of social media links to “stories” about immigrants in a small OH town eating peoples pets. It was a circle jerk of maga social media all saying the same thing. I bet a friend that trump would somehow bring up immigrants eating pets. For some reason I didn’t expect it to be as absurdly ridiculous as it was, but how could something like that be anything but absurd.

This small experience gave me insight into just how fast maga gets on board with conspiracies. It only took a couple days to be used by trump.

I saw a MFer on Twitter who commented on a tweet about Madonna, specifically how bad/old she looks. He said it was the lack of adrenochrome. I had to look that up. Apparently there is a QAnon conspiracy theory which revolves around Epstein using his island to harvest adrenochrome from young children and that's why Madonna looks old. (Nothing to do with her being 70 and her MULTIPLE plastic surgeries)

There is NO reasoning with that kind of crazy.

Gavin probably should have been Joe Biden VP pick instead of Harris…I don’t know if Trump would have beat Newsom..It definitely would have been closer…
