Does anyone know if north Korean passports has pictures of the Great Leader in them?

[–] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 1 points 53 minutes ago

Looks like North Korean Passports feature the state seal, and some nice pictures of monuments and nature. No leaders depicted at all

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

I love the fact that this new passport is so weird (even NK doesn't do this) that even magats don't believe it

magats calling fox news fake news

The anti Newsom rhetoric is interesting in this comment thread...

Guys he's not trump. What more can we ask for at this point.

Shit is take dubbya right now.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 29 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

I gotta admit, he’s a really good troll. Still don’t want him to be president.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

My favorite word in politics: Primaries! Get working now, newscummers sure are!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

And it'd be nice if he weren't fighting for billionaires in California.

[–] aaa999@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

we can just attach his social media manager to someone good and get all of the positives

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

you just know

I know, and I hate it.

In 2028 we'll have a AOC > Newsom handoff in the same vein as Bernie > Clinton.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 1 points 4 hours ago

Not so sure that will happen, Republicans want Newsom to be the Democratic party candidate but since he's been obviously going for the position since before Covid it has allowed for a lot of his shady shit to make it out and I think that will hurt him bad in the primary.

[–] TerdFerguson@lemmy.world 40 points 8 hours ago

Newsom is a dildo, but his team has the right idea memeing on cheeto man

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 30 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Newsom is pathetic. Here's to a full 2028 primary where he finds out exactly how unwanted his politics are before he gets anywhere near that nomination.

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 18 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I completely agree and dread how the Dems will push him to the front despite the voters picking an actual progressive candidate.

But I do have to admit some of his trolling does make me laugh and the fact that the PedoKing are his magat worshipers are butt hurt by it does bring a smile to my face.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I don't need zero effort shitposts, I need healthcare

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 9 points 8 hours ago

Agreed, we should have universal healthcare. But you know as well as I do he's bought and paid for by the lobbies and he'll never allow it. Might as well enjoy the shit posting pissing off the fascists since that's going to be the best we ever get from the soulless ghoul.

[–] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 0 points 7 hours ago

I'll take the shitposts if it leads to healthcare.

Won't be with Newsom on the ticket though.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Get organizing!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

Don't like it when Donald does it.

Don't like it when Greasy Gavin does it either.

I wish we could get these fuckers to focus more on affordability and less on dank memes.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 122 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If only he cared as much about taxing billionaires as he cared about dunking on them.

[–] GorGor@startrek.website 30 points 10 hours ago

Sweet jesus yes. And now we are faced with a potential new billionaire to rule over us.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 67 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

He forgot, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 hours ago

He might use ENJOY! - GOVERNOR GCN as his tagline

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 39 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How cool would it be if each person’s portrait looked like this on their license tho…

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

That would be awesome! My current license looks like a mugshot because they told me not to smile.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 25 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Every time I see the Governor, I'm reminded of that Lion King song: Oh I just can't wait to be king!

People will say it's him or Hitler, because it takes that kind of relief to make Newsom acceptable to a progressive. So I'm just going to say now: I'm not voting for him. Don't start lecturing me about vulnerable people because Newsom already threw trans people under the bus. He also actively hates homeless people. And being inhuman to migrants is more Californian than Hollywood.

If "saving America" means voting for Sheriff James Davis over Adolf Hitler, then you have to wonder, is she worth saving?

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Liberals and Communists unable to hold their noses and hold hands in the face of Fascism has historically only ever worked out well, right?

...right?

[–] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 11 hours ago

Newsom is a dickhead that should spend more time with his son.

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

USA people. Is he a serious politician? I can't tell anymore.

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Gavin Newsom is the current governor of California. He sometimes does a little satirical posting to mock Trump.

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 11 points 12 hours ago

You gotta admit his social media team is on point

[–] PagPag@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago
[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm down. But only because the ID won't have my photo on it anymore. Down with photo IDs.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I've genuinely never heard that before, why, if I may ask?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Because their primary purpose is to allow the state to surveil you. Which I don't think is good.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Well, yeah, that is the primary purpose, but I don't see how one can effectively have a modern state without Photo ID. I loathe surveillance, but I accept minor infringements upon me that I recognize as necessary for the sake of us all in many areas. Sorry if I'm explaining poorly!

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Mhm and how threw a photo? Dear user do you use a mobilephone?

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Photo allows them to ID you more easily. No photo would be a step away from the papers please society we live in today, even if it's not all the way there.

This you? https://thenib.com/mister-gotcha/

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 43 minutes ago

Yeah that is the point of an ID?? Okay how else would you ID people without a picture, so you know the person in front of you is who they claim to be?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Not to be confused with tighters and laugh-adults.
