He's a California Democrat. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Everyone should be cautious.

Nobody should try to copy Trump’s style. Only Trump can pull off being Trump. It would be funny if it was a bit for a roast, but it’s not. It comes off as super desperate.

Nobody wants America to look like California.

Democrats are all about OPTICS. Sadly, they are so obtuse that they don’t realize when optics show them being damn fools.

Sasha, thank you for exposing Newscum as the sniveling punk that he is. The word needs to go nationwide that Newscum is a transactional lily-livered creep and cannot ever be president. Every time Newscum is on television, I’m ashamed to be a Californian.

I've been writing about CA politics for the OC Register since 1987, and this is an excellent analysis of this narcissistic psychopath. It will be amusing to watch him implode in the primaries. Even Dems in other states know what a mess this place is. Even if they don't read the news about this nightmare state, they meet many California exiles with tales of horror.

The idea that “Make the US more like California” will be a winning message in 2028 is laughable.

"Don't cut off your nose to spite your face." My mother used to say that to me when in a fit of childish pique I would do stupid things and sabotage my own cause. I think we need to bring that expression back. I cannot believe the number of people who would be happy to destroy America if they could bring Trump down at the same time.

He's always been a gutless worm who talks out of both sides of his mouth. My kids were kept out of school for one year and masked for another year, not because he was "tough" on covid, but because he would never stand up to the Mask Karens and teachers unions. He wants all the fancy trappings of being a California governor without actually having to govern. He can't leave the stage soon enough, and if he believes he actually has a shot at being POTUS, he's even more delusional than previously thought.

YES! All the time he was sending his kids to private schools and even to play sports.

When he told us to keep our masks ON while eating, I threw up my hands when there were actual restaurant goers doing just that.

I will never forgive him for locking us up while he dined at the French Laundry of all places. My son didn’t go back to school for an entire year and as you said, they had to be masked for another year. It makes me sick just thinking about it. He is despicable.

Am I the only one who thinks, every time I hear the left talking about the damage President Trump is doing, that they are describing Biden and his presidency?

In these clips of Newsom, it sounds exactly like Biden he is describing.

Destroying the economy, attacking freedoms, political prosecutions; that is what the LEFT has been doing for decades.

He would expose the deep deep deep institutional corruption that has been going on for decades in FBI, CIA, DNC NSA and more. Trump was the much needed outsider. The corrupt need to protect their jobs,selves from prosecution at all costs. All. That is the conspiracy. See John

THIS Connection Between Covid and Russiagate is Truly Mind-Blowing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXM0zY-wWt4

Aug 17, 2025 #blazetv #mattkibbe #thecoverup

BlazeTV’s "The Coverup" is pulling back the curtain on how the same deep-state apparatus that made the COVID narrative also engineered the Russia hoax. Host Matt Kibbe joins us to reveal how the “censorship industrial complex” worked in lockstep to control speech, crush dissent, and blacklist voices like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. From Operation Mockingbird-style infiltration of newsrooms to preplanned narratives at the Aspen Institute, Kibbe exposes how journalists became willing partners in propaganda campaigns. Kibbe warns that dismantling this system will require more than one office or politician. It will take public outrage, relentless investigative reporting, and political courage.

I saw it. I check out Megyn Kelly everyday.

Thing is IF they had treated Donald Trump with any kind of respect at all in 2016 (and following) This would not have played out the way it has. But they didn't and that Pissed Him Off. I think For Trump it became...Personal, not just politics. And for those of us who support him its also..Personal.

Oh, right, that too. They are such inane tropes by now that I glaze over when the list starts. I think Trump might actually be the least politically corrupt in history, no matter what he does personally. I don’t care about his personal life, I hired him to fix the mess and he is doing that. 😁

I give Newsom credit for one good thing as mayor: he ended the insane program of monthly payments of hundreds of dollars in cash to the homeless. Some of those “homeless” were driving in from Nevada every month. Since then, though, I struggle to think of any good he’s done.

I have followed Newsom's career since he became mayor of SF. If you will recall, he INVITED people to come from other states to get abortions.

A woman was being interviewed. Because of Newsom, she came from TX to get cancer treatment and we taxpayers paid for it. She was excited to be going back to TX to be with her family.

Her home state was TX. As I recall, she was homeless, but don't quote me. She came to get cancer treatment in CA (free).

Well, if she was homeless she probably had no money. If she wanted to live, she had to go to CA.

Let me make this simpler to understand. CA collects taxes from Californias to pay for services. We do not pay one of the highest taxes in the US for services outside of CA.

He stopped those payments to shift them to the activist NGOs, a much better political ROI. Newscum must be brought down and sent to the land of discarded sell-outs.

Gavin Newsome, is just like every other Democrat out there. Exhibiting a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Oppose Trump on EVERY issue...because ORANGE MAN BAD!

Gavin always makes me think of Eddie Haskell. Devious, oily, lying little suck up. You can feel the lies and bullshit from miles away. He leaves me feeling queasy and unclean.

Obama’s lies left me feeling angry, Newsom’s lies make me feel dirty. Probably because I used to be a fan of the little twerp back when he was the Mayor of SF but he blew through my goodwill before he ever left that office.
