After all, Don Jr.'s fiancee is Newsom's ex, so he’d probably take it personally lol.

Other than the California reputation Newsome seems like the kinda guy who can go to war against the Republicans. Watching some of his appearances where he just rips Republicans to shreds in their face is impressive - he's not a nice guy like Obama and he's way smarter and sharp than Harris (who is a very good prosecutor but not a quick thinker). He knows his stuff, doesn't talk like too much of a rich guy and generally seems tough as nails.

I wonder if the California reputation is really a narrative created by Republicans and is something that's overcome with some story telling - it wasn't like he was raised with a silver spoon in his mouth, his mom worked 3 jobs to support the family.

^I think it can be for sure.

Trump is from fucking New York, another Democratic, coastal city, which in the past was almost invalidating. If he can do it, so can Newsom.

Newsom's track record in California is also very impressive in terms of what he's been able to accomplish in that State (even if people like Joe Rogan call him the incarnate of the devil) :lol

MarkyMark 11-09-2024 10:11 AM

I think for Newsome to work they'll need some middle America guy that people like as the VP and I highly doubt the Dems would run two straight white males on a ticket that's just not progressive enough for them winning be damned lol

The absolute shitting on from Fox News and guys like Rogan and Musk would put on Newsome would be unreal

I agree, he wouldn’t hesitate to go on Fox News or Joe Rogan and take on conservatives. He also wouldn’t shy away from defending progressive issues but would do so in a way that doesn’t alienate swing or independent voters. We’re already seeing him back more moderate policies in California, which, in my opinion, is a strategic move with 2028 in mind. Imagine a Newsom/Gretchen Whitmer ticket, that looks pretty solid to me. Or Newsom/Jeffries if the goal is to appeal to Black voters.

And keep in mind, Trump has two years to do whatever he likes, and most likely he’ll mess things up, because by 2026, the Democrats will likely retake the House, rendering him a lame duck president and putting them in a strong position for 2028 as long as they can find the right person to lead them.

^ in the US political system, what is more important, you think? Control of the house or the actual presidency?

President basically sets the national agenda, oversees foreign policy, and can issue executive orders to accomplish specific tasks, like restricting immigration without direct congressional approval. However, these actions usually require funding which is where the House has a major role. The House controls the budget so they have the power to fund or not fund the president's initiatives.

For example, if the goal is to deport millions of undocumented immigrants or build a border wall, these plans will require substantial funding. Without House support, even executive actions can stall. I have my doubts the Republican controlled House will be writing blank cheques to fund his immigration plans but we'll see.

I remember our annual summer trip to Penticton that year, the Make Canada Great Again hats were in vogue, you'd see a lot of doofy ass people rocking those hats. My GF and I were on the canal having a nice float down, if you've been on it before, you'll know you can hear people talking from quite far down the waterway.

As we're floating we start hearing this chick talking loudly about how she hates black people, and how she'd never fuck one, and hates when they hit on her (maybe about 800M ahead of us). We're floating pretty fast, so we catch up to them pretty quick, she had no idea a scary looking black man was coming up on her ass real quick. As we get closer, we see her group are all wearing those MCGA (Make Canada Great Again) hats, she's spewing off about blacks being ugly, how they'd have no chance with her, all that shit. A guy from her group sees me and starts tapping her shoulder to watch out, I guess to make her aware that "one of them" are here, right behind her.

They all go silent as we float by. I say to them -- "We heard that shit you ugly bitch, fuck you guys, you should take that racist bullshit elsewhere".

They all nervously chuckled and kept silent, the bitch didn't say a word.

We continued on our way down the canal, didn't see them again.

That was the 1st time I saw the culture change in Canada to that degree so quickly, to be so comfortable yelling out some pretty vile racist shit around other whites, without being embarrassed or ashamed to say that stuff in public.

LOL people in denial!!!

I remember meeting this dude while camping at Coachella one year we all drinking and he goes on this rant like "OMG I don't get dudes being gay like who likes a dick anyway they're so ugly all those veins and wrinkly balls and shit eww what guy can imagine putting that in his mouth or ass I'm team pussy for life" and we all sitting there nobody is saying anything and I was like "... why you go into so much detail bro? Sounds like you been thinking about it a lot" and he's like "Shut up fucker!" and we all had a laugh.

That dude was engaged to another dude not even 2 years later hahahaa

Example number 600 million of the loudest homophobes being closeted gay. Once they learn not to hate themselves so much, as people from their parents' generation tried to teach them, they make the switch.

Hondaracer 11-09-2024 03:27 PM

The Catholic Church is the best example obviously.

We hate gays so much that only little boys will suffice

westopher 11-09-2024 03:56 PM

It says a man who lays down with another man, not man with boy so they still get into heaven on a technicality.

underscore 11-09-2024 04:45 PM

God up there watching all these technicalities

That's like the Mormon loophole. If there is no friction it does not count as sex.

Badhobz 11-09-2024 05:26 PM

I’m pretty sure he regrets dying for our sins. Buddys like fuck this and peaced out, that’s why he never came back.

68style 11-09-2024 05:35 PM

He can't come back when there's still so much sin in the world!

Once Hobz is gone the average level of sin should be much lower and He can return.

Harvey Specter 11-09-2024 06:23 PM

Andrew Tate is the type of guy who seems to be fighting his own inner homo demons, which likely explains why he feels the need to spew misogynistic nonsense daily. Hopefully, Romania does the world a favour and locks his bald ass in jail for a long time.

westopher 11-09-2024 06:47 PM

lol that photo of how little of a shrimp dick he's packin really sums up a lot of the term "little dick energy"

The reason why this kid has not had his ass kicked yet is because he is never in public without security.

Harvey Specter 11-09-2024 08:49 PM

Trump’s already been cucked by Putin. This is just Putin’s way of reminding Trump he owns him, lol...

Rogan fucked around, about to find out.

https://i.imgur.com/k7chYT0.png

Why not say this during the interview?

"We are that close to having President Trump" used to be a punchline for Joe in 2016, about how insane the world has become "We're in an episode of Lost!"

I think the more sane side of Trump voters just hope that he was "joking" as they assume whenever he says something insane. Or that he'll be surrounded by people who will keep from from going completely unhinged. Thing is, he had those people in his first run, and most of them are gone now, or part of the Heritage Foundation where they wrote him a dictatorship instruction manual.

My hope is that he just takes the W, and goes back to playing golf all day. He won, he proved he was the best, even Zelenksyy was kissing his ass. Go enjoy life having dodged having to pay back any debts or for your crimes. Everyone will wait 4 years for it.

That's the best case scenario to me, but I am not expecting it.

This is the part that confuses me the most about guys like this... like you are aware that a massive % of the population would like you to die but still carry on like somehow they're all wrong and you're doing everything right? A martyr of some sort?

It's a bizarre mental state, I'd like to think if most of us even had a couple people in our lives that hated us we'd take a moment of serious introspection and possibly change course on some habits or beliefs.

Sounds like someone had a conversation with his wife and daughter after his stupid shit and may have come to a new conclusion.
Perfect example of a guy who wanted to "stick it to the woke crowd" and is understanding what the saying cut off your nose to spite your face means.

Because he is a troll and gets off on it. Also he is making money off it.
I think he also just hates people.
He is now back on twitter.

To be fair, Dana White probably played a big part in getting Trump on the podcast, because Joe never liked Trump. He supported DeSantis, then switched to RFK Jr. And the thing is, he tried multiple times to get Harris on the podcast, but her campaign refused which, in my opinion, was a huge mistake.

Joe knows what’s going to happen under Trump, and he’s already trying to distance himself. Well, too late. You threw your support behind him, so you'll have to answer when shit hits the fan.

It's already happening. Go on Reddit, and you’ll see Latinos who voted for Trump now worried about their parents getting deported. You have Arabs who refused to support Biden/Harris over the war, claiming Trump will help the situation. Where were they when Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem? His son-in-law is Jewish and claimed Gaza has some valuable waterfront properties, and you think he’s going to go in and save the people of Gaza?

You can’t make this shit up.
