Newsom communicating the only way Trump can understand. Nah I'm kidding. Trump has dementia he would think he wrote this. (discuss.online)

This post was reported. The reason given:

OP's title isn't good faith argumentation as per the rules. It's an inappropriate and absurd reference to dementia

Many professionals have noted that Trump has shown multiple signs of dementia. This means that while it may not be completely accurate, the headline doesn't appear to be in bad faith.

Leaving it up.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 5 points 1 day ago

Greatly Appreciate it.

It's not normal for a person to yell at people on the roof. And if that isn't textbook dementia, I don't know what is.

I can probably tone down on the snark...

So pedophile dictator cheeto Trump will have to respond to this, in Neeson's writing style?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

The words are too big, that won't be possible.

Some intern had some fun.

"ChatGPT, write a tweet in the style of..."

Em-dashes aren't definitive proof of LLM content, but competent satire is usually beyond the reach of the political class.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is this really real?

It's awesome if it is. I mean, it's sad, but in this universe, currently, awesome

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It is real.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The enemy of my enemy.... is still an asshole. Fuck Newsom.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

I agree, and I lived in CA while this twat was picking up signs and pretending to care about union workers.

...

... and I'd still vote Newsom over Trump, with a song on my lips

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well the stupid thing about it is, is that California voted to do away with partisan gerrymandering. So I don't know how the hell Newsom is going to gerrymander California in response to what's going on in Texas.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Bipartisan gerrymandering exclusively hurts Republicans.

If the land or populations were just cut up in a grid the Republicans would never win anything again.

Literally just draw horizontal lines through the state.

The coasts would make it so not a single district is red.

[–] Jason2357@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

A grid would over-represent rural areas. You are thinking of actual fair riding boundaries.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 99 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Y'all wanted Democrats to stand the fuck up. Comments:

Fuck Newsom! He's not pure enough!

And that is why we so fucking always lose.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Newsom is ambitious, self-serving, Randian, right-wing neoliberal scum. However, I would still pick him over the murderous criminal totalitarian child rapists currently running the US.

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

Conservatives: Well I might not align with their "shoot dogs" policy, or their "put kids in factory" policy, but I like their "jail immigrants" policy and "pedophiles are cool" policy. Red all the way.

[–] NevermindNoMind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Newsome's press staffer sent a funny tweet. I guess that makes up for him creating a platform to shit on trans people with right wing monsters, saying that Dems should ignore Trump sending innocent people to an El Salvador gulag because the issue is a political loser, and years of shit policies"

The reason Dems lose is because they don't ever actually do anything. A tweet is not an action. It's performative bullshit.

So, hehe funny tweet. But also, fuck newsome, do something.

[–] Kobibi@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

He's threatening to redistrict California in response to Republican Leaders gerrymandering Texas

He states he has found a way to gerrymander California to eliminate 5 Republican seats whilest abiding by the Voting Rights Act

He has held multiple press conferences and public appearances drawing attention to this

This tweet is about - and part of - this effort to draw national attention to gerrymandering

It's too soon to say if he'll follow through with his threat, but he's done a lot.

I don't like Newsome, but respect this - don't just shit on it. This is the action you're asking for

I saw AOC use her right hand once so she’s not pure enough either.

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 50 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I kind of cringe everytime someone goes off about some dumbass purity test for AOC. Like one of the most, if not the most, progressive politicians of my lifetime and jokers want to get mad at her because this one time she wasn't progressive enough. Like how the fuck do people think you push politics in general to the left? By electing some middling democrat, or even a republican, because the progressive candidate wasn't progressive enough? How does that make any fucking sense?

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I am convinced that at least some of that is from her competition in her own party who lean further right and republicans. Best time for a coward to attack is when your opponent is already down

Im going to guess it's AI written -- for reasons.

We live in hell

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What are you in for? I pirated video games and movies.

Chronic masturbation. The corn flakes didn’t help

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

You were supposed to put dry corn flakes in your hand before trying to crank one out.

Everything else aside, it's good satire. It's just a well-executed joke.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wonder what would happen if the entire party started mocking Trump like this. Maybe this is our JD Vance meme moment but for Trump.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 1 day ago

I'm sure there will be plenty trump jokes to go around when he's gone and ill-remembered.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it'd just go over his head, unfortunately

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Idk, I think it would get stuck in his hair

Seriously why the fuck not. Do it gavin

Edit: This post is an actual copy of his tweet by OP

"You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make," he said. "This attempt to rig congressional maps to hold onto power before a single vote is cast in the 2026 election is an affront to American democracy."

"DONALD TRUMP HAS 24 HOURS LEFT TO RESPOND TO GOVERNOR NEWSOM’S LETTER. IF HE DOES NOT STAND DOWN, THERE WILL BE A VERY IMPORTANT PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

Release the Trump/Epstein files

I like this, more politicians should use ""inflammatory"" language against Trump
