Eight minute address to CA about the current Trump-caused mess in LA:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXQQNUeb4SwI fully expect him to run for president in 2028. The campaign has already started. And Trump may get him elected! I wouldn't mind. There are far worse candidates.

LOL. Rough couple of days for Newsom.
First, the riots that the democrats say aren't happening get bigger. Then the d's come out and say that sending in the Guard is inflaming the riots that they say aren't happening.
Newsom then files for a TRO to stop the Guard deployment - and doesn't get it. Given that Trump is only using them to guard federal facilities...he's not likely to get very far in front of the judge. And even if he does, the first appeals court that sees this is going to say, "Read the Constitution".
Then the LAPD comes out and admits they're "overwhelmed" in the chief's words. Good thing the Guard is there and the Marines are on the way, eh? Otherwise they'd lose complete control. Trump wins again.
Then he tries to give A Big Presential Speech...but his team can't make the audio work. To top if off Newsom is texting Sean Hannity of all people asking him to carry his speech since few did.

I don't think he's sounding/looking good at all. He's certainly making Democrats feel good by spouting all that feel-goody "Democrat" stuff with the usual Hollywood vibe high dudgeon and indignitude.

Yes! Also Trump's inability to walk up the steps up on Air Force One really highlights the extent of Joe Biden's decline.
Lastly for those wondering how an elderly sociopath who is also a "great friend" of Jeffrey Epstein, a proven rapist and a convicted felon, could have prevailed in the 2024 presidential election:
21% of adults in the US are illiterate. This means that approximately one in five American adults cannot read or write at a basic level.
Additionally, 54% of adults have a literacy level below the sixth-grade level, indicating that over half of the adult population struggles with more complex reading tasks.
The United States ranks 36th in global literacy rankings.
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)

To each their own, but I'll take Newsom's literate articulation, youth, nice hair, and truth over Trump's bloviating orange face spouting lies and indignant victimhood any day of the week.

My previous post was initially much longer but I thought shorter was better. But since banksy was swift enough to post numbers I'll refer to some numbers left out last time.......
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)
Two things very salient to American elections suspiciously either "disappeared" since they were noticed or never mentioned because it upsets a common Left Wing narrative. To wit:
1) White People are here to stay. They ain't goin' anywhere. Deal with it. You need their votes.
2) If I am not mistaken Trump got more support/votes from females, Blacks, and Hispanics in 2024 and, I believe in 2020 also, than he got in 2016. I have heard this mentioned several times but never challenged. I know some of this depends on who's doing the research but that won't account for very much difference. No idea what the Gay and transgendered trend is. So, as Banksy might be implying Maga is getting, I guess, what we might call the uneducated vote I don't see how any Democrat is going to make that up by getting the residual educated vote among Blacks Hispanics, Gays, Transgendered and Women, especially when that "Educated Men" stat above is the razor's edge and could go the other way on a dime.
I have no grandiose point other than the trend is not all that hopeful for Democrats.

Whites voted in Obama.

If you mean he got the majority of votes in those groups, you're mistaken, but your writing is unclear. If you mean he gained votes, possibly - sheesh - we had a short gallop with a long shot candidate. We just didn't want to lose the down ballot.

Glib and irrelavant and you know it. If you don't, have a nice day.

You're just trying to make yourself feel good. Expected. Divert your gaze. That will save us. It is entirely in concert with what I've been saying. I do not engage in protracted internet back-and forths. It harshes the thread
