Probably he didn't care if it was true or not.
It was what he needed to say to get what he wanted.
Checking his memory was an exertion he didn't need to do.
I think D might be the answer
It's not that Trump doesn't know who he's talking to, it's that he constantly just makes shit up.
Hey it can be both.
And since "he's not big government" his base will believe anything he says.
It goes a lot deeper than pretending not to be big gubmint. Trump's con man skill (his only real skill) has tapped into the right-wing Christian need for a Daddy figure and managed to insert himself into that role. Their Daddy Knows Best instinct is so strong they'll defend him even while he's ass-raping their GI Joes and Barbies.
I really appreciate that he didnt say "trump was lying about the phone call," and took it to this level. Thats a good smear
"Smear" implies spin. G's just reporting the facts.
Dont ever shorten Gavin fucking Newsom to just G.
Until he takes back control of the California national guards and uses them to protect his state, he will not be seen as a real G.
He's not perfect, and I was never in his fan club. But he is resisting, which is what we wanted from Democrats. Keep fighting...
But why is there"marines on street"? Isn't there a ground troops available to deal with inland issue?
I don't want any troops dispatched here (the national guard is theoretically fine if a lot was different), but the marines are probably best of the branches. They're the advance troops with minimal additional stuff. The army is the big guns, when they arrive its no longer skirmish or mild occupation, its gonna be a while and its full on martial law.
You're right I shouldn't minimised other people trouble. I'll reformulate so it is better.
There shouldn't be soldiers oppressing the people who live here at all, it violates the Constitution. But for what it's worth the Marines are ground troops.
TIL. Then why are they called marine then?
They were originally part of the Navy, an amphibious force to attack from the sea. Obviously the need for that has very much declined. They are now an independent branch of the military but are technically still in the Department of the Navy.
Newsom suddenly feels legit, who would think of that.
The shit I took last Tuesday is more legit than trump, so... yeah so is Newsom.
Newsoms a fucking Saint in comparison.
Gruesome newsom is currently waging a war on the homeless. Not homelessness, the homeless themselves. He's cruel and comes into the defence of capital full swing.
I can't tell you how enormously frustrating it is that I have to like Newsom now.
I hear you, but let's not forget that Newsom is doing the bare minimum here.
I'm certain we can find a better nominee in 2028.
I think the candidate ship has sailed, we're looking for generals now.
I've got great news for you, the enemy of your enemy can still be your enemy. Newsom doesn't even really disagree with what Trump is doing, he only disagrees with how.
newsoms a cunt, doug ford is a cunt. both of these cunts dont like trumps antics. and in turn think hes a cunt. so hes the cunt that cunts dont like.
so hes an über cunt
what a cunt.
When Doug Ford threw hands, metaphorically, I was actually almost proud of him for at least not being the worst.
