A. Trump was lying
B. Trump has dementia
C. Trump is incompetent
D. All of the above

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago

I think D might be the answer

I really appreciate that he didnt say "trump was lying about the phone call," and took it to this level. Thats a good smear

"Smear" implies spin. G's just reporting the facts.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Dont ever shorten Gavin fucking Newsom to just G.

Until he takes back control of the California national guards and uses them to protect his state, he will not be seen as a real G.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

He's not perfect, and I was never in his fan club. But he is resisting, which is what we wanted from Democrats. Keep fighting...

Newsom suddenly feels legit, who would think of that.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

The shit I took last Tuesday is more legit than trump, so... yeah so is Newsom.

Newsoms a fucking Saint in comparison.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I can't tell you how enormously frustrating it is that I have to like Newsom now.

[–] dondelelcaro@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hear you, but let's not forget that Newsom is doing the bare minimum here.

I'm certain we can find a better nominee in 2028.

I think the candidate ship has sailed, we're looking for generals now.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 19 hours ago

I've got great news for you, the enemy of your enemy can still be your enemy. Newsom doesn't even really disagree with what Trump is doing, he only disagrees with how.

Gruesome newsom is currently waging a war on the homeless. Not homelessness, the homeless themselves. He's cruel and comes into the defence of capital full swing.

It's not that Trump doesn't know who he's talking to, it's that he constantly just makes shit up.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

Hey it can be both.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And since "he's not big government" his base will believe anything he says.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

It goes a lot deeper than pretending not to be big gubmint. Trump's con man skill (his only real skill) has tapped into the right-wing Christian need for a Daddy figure and managed to insert himself into that role. Their Daddy Knows Best instinct is so strong they'll defend him even while he's ass-raping their GI Joes and Barbies.

newsoms a cunt, doug ford is a cunt. both of these cunts dont like trumps antics. and in turn think hes a cunt. so hes the cunt that cunts dont like.

When Doug Ford threw hands, metaphorically, I was actually almost proud of him for at least not being the worst.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 8 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I'm more alarm by the "marines on street" part. Isn't there a ground troops available to deal with inland issue?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I don't want any troops dispatched here (the national guard is theoretically fine if a lot was different), but the marines are probably best of the branches. They're the advance troops with minimal additional stuff. The army is the big guns, when they arrive its no longer skirmish or mild occupation, its gonna be a while and its full on martial law.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 19 hours ago

There shouldn't be soldiers oppressing the people who live here at all, it violates the Constitution. But for what it's worth the Marines are ground troops.
