California Governor Gavin Newsom should be charged criminally for describing Stephen Miller as a "fascist," according to a Republican lawmaker.

On Friday, Newsom's press office posted this on X: "STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!" MAGA accused Newsom of "trying to get Miller killed" with the simple comment on social media. Miller is currently the White House deputy chief of staff under Trump.

I'm so fucking tired of hoping for the lesser of two evils

That is exactly what politics is: the least bad worst thing. It always has been and always will be.

The problem is that the only way I can see to set up a system that will give the pick of the lesser vs greater good is to set up a system in which anyone who desires power has absolutely no channels to access said power. Basically you can only be president if you don't want to be president. This would cause all sorts of other issues such as rapid chains of abdication.

Awesome, then you by default will be supporting the greater of two evils. Great choice.
