If only he cared as much about taxing billionaires as he cared about dunking on them.

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 52 points 1 month ago

Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 99 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He forgot, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He might use ENJOY! - GOVERNOR GCN as his tagline

Newsom is a dildo, but his team has the right idea memeing on cheeto man

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 12 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] aaa999@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

we can just attach his social media manager to someone good and get all of the positives

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

And it'd be nice if he weren't fighting for billionaires in California.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 60 points 1 month ago (1 children)

How cool would it be if each person’s portrait looked like this on their license tho…

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

That would be awesome! My current license looks like a mugshot because they told me not to smile.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I completely agree and dread how the Dems will push him to the front despite the voters picking an actual progressive candidate.

But I do have to admit some of his trolling does make me laugh and the fact that the PedoKing and his magat worshipers are butt hurt by it does bring a smile to my face.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I don't need zero effort shitposts, I need healthcare

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 10 points 1 month ago

Agreed, we should have universal healthcare. But you know as well as I do he's bought and paid for by the lobbies and he'll never allow it. Might as well enjoy the shit posting pissing off the fascists since that's going to be the best we ever get from the soulless ghoul.

Get organizing!

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 4 points 1 month ago

Is the democratic party actually going to talk about politics this time around? Or will it just be more "I'm not that other guy".

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I don't think Lemmy gets satire very well. But even I'm surprised how many whooshes are going on in here.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Lemmy as whole is absolute ass at detecting satire, but I've never let that stop me :)

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think they might be bots. They read like YT comments.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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!

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

You gotta admit his social media team is on point

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Newsom is a dickhead that should spend more time with his son.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Very glad they're spending time on stuff that really matters. Very epic!

Not to be confused with tighters and laugh-adults.

Does anyone know if north Korean passports has pictures of the Great Leader in them?

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like North Korean Passports feature the state seal, and some nice pictures of monuments and nature. No leaders depicted at all

[–] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

When North Korea has more style, taste and self respect then you. You know you dun fucked up

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love the fact that this new passport is so weird (even NK doesn't do this) that even magats don't believe it

magats calling fox news fake news

Hah that’s funny, now talk to us about being “culturally normal” again.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago (19 children)

I'm down. But only because the ID won't have my photo on it anymore. Down with photo IDs.
