As Newsom looks likely to face recall, a crowd of challengers gathers
Trump 2020 internal polling autopsy leaks
Man, remember how well Gavin Newsom was doing last year?
New York was taking the brunt of the COVID chaos and California, despite being infected first and having the second largest city in America, was getting off relatively light. His areas were among the first to lock down, showing foresight.
A friend of mine who watched his daily briefings always liked that he called California the Nation State of California to demonstrate his leadership in #Resistence fashion.
I bet he likes to think fondly of those days.
They were before the further lockdowns, the slow openings, the hypocritical dinner, the twitchy decisions, the baffling hospital networks and the even more confusing reversal.
With a recall election now growing more certain the question becomes if he can survive it and if not, who will take his place.
A few Republicans have now officially entered the game.
But it’s Silicon Valley darling Chamath Palihapitiya who is currently leading betting markets.
The election, which would happen this fall will dominate headlines and be a national embarrassment for the perennially “ready for prime time” Newsom.
The question is now… is there anything he can do? Will the mood on his COVID handling change as the deaths subside?
What the hell are the Republicans doing?
The Senate Republicans don’t seem to have a plan on COVID relief.
The Republican who ran for the White House in 2020 clearly misread the room based on a new internal polling autopsy.
The Arizona Republican party is censuring their most influential and famous members?

How many times must I conjure up the Turtle crossing the stream with a scorpion on his back. How many times must I call mitch a turtle. I don't know, but I know this, I've blown snow for 5 FRACKING hours over the course of 12 hours and I'm ready for this crap do be done. I'm getting 3 inch an hour snow out here. Raising a child in the north is child abuse. - JUST ANOTHER PILOT

I feel like there REALLY should be a Cocaine Mitch shirt. If someone talented enough to mock up Mitch like say.... Biggie, crown and all for a 90s feel. Or face tats like Lil Wayne.... I dunno, I'm just brainstorming this, I feel like the collective could have some better ideas. - SEAN
Hmmm Mitch outline made out of cocaine?

Banning metaphors in politics would leave us walking through a barren desert of boring speeches, a godforsaken wasteland of clear policy points. But long as we still had similes it could still be as flowery as a garden. - RICHARD

Justin, you can sing kumbaya all you want, but the fact that they still want to impeach Trump and Nancy wants to push her pork as COVID relief does nothing to make anyone put their swords down and play nice. - HALF NORMAL
You’re still on the “we’re going to be okay” thing? That was for the inauguration when people thought there might be a civil war. It didn’t happen. Yeah, didn’t know I needed to spell it out for folks but please resume partisan fighting. That’s kind of the basis of politics.

I know it was over a month ago now, but regarding that retraction to the New York Times Podcast Caliphate...
I guess the NYT figured our Mounties were just a bunch Dudley Do-Right lookin' MF'ers who wouldn't know an ISIS terrorist from a sinus therapist.
"Look at these poor dumb Canadians letting radicalized death squad members strut around Burlington while our sophisticated big-city journalism gets the truth."
Now they're bleeding credibility like an imaginary beheading victim bleeds made-up blood.
