Newsom’s Twitter troll is genius because pleading and crying in front of an authoritarian does nothing, but pointing and laughing enrages the authoritarian.

saem reason 'weird' worked. foolish to have ended that cause hoo boy they are WEIRD.
Bingo! It's even in the Bible! Isaiah 14:3-23
Correct. And facts alienate. This is the true path.
Can you show any examples of him actually reacting or being moved in any way whatsoever?
Pleading & crying gives them a massive boner! Pain & suffering is the point. You gotta go after their massive egos! Narcissists hate being mocked & ridiculed.
The Open Ward, MAGA USA!
Trump is a fucking moron and the president of MAGA Fascist Christianity USA.
Adds a completely different field view and energy to otherwise confusing and frightening situations. Very loud voices saying nope is essential right now.
A boy tried to bully me in middle school by calling me some stupid nickname. I replied “Wait… your last name is Weiner!” Everyone laughed and he never spoke to me again. Bullying the bully works every time.
It’s the age old strategy for dealing a bully.
It’s brilliant because it isn’t just pointing and laughing. It is owning them in print. It is stealing their cred as strong men. It is making them look like what they are. Kamala lost, cuz all she did was point and laugh. Throwing punches is strength to his followers. Laughing isn’t enough. Going
The extra mile to punch back just as hard or harder on the internet where it makes others laugh at him for being weak and owned is the method to beat him.
Exactly! We've had giggles and eye rolls, for fucks sake. Giggles and eye rolls. And "Concerns". Newsome is doing the eye roll, the laughing in their face, and pie in the face-ing them, kicking them in the nuts and shoving them into a puddle for good measure.
Absolutely 💯
Most are cowards -a powerful child could corner them and make them cry in person.
The biggest mistake Democrats can make now, is not uniting behind him because of disagreements with the person. Just support the movement now.
That crowd drives me nuts. He's made missteps but right now he's our greatest weapon.
Humans are flawed, politicians especially so. Newsome is of the moment right now. Others can join in, it would be most welcome!!
JB has done some ribbing, I hope he steps it up.
Me too! I think he’s got the skills!
Yup! He's the right kind of billionaire.
I keep forgetting about that. He seems pretty down to earth, but I will say being a billionaire is worrisome bc of the corrupting power of money. Will continue watching.
Maybe not being classically beautiful is the difference? I dunno. He doesn't back down, doesn't water down his responses. I think money can be empowering for good though it isn't often. I hadda wear a dress to a dog sitting job because the woman was a Repuke. I only wear fu tshirts otherwise.
You raise good points and I am learning all I can about him. There are several governors I am listening to lately, I want to have a good grasp of the field. Early days but it’s a good focus.
I subscribed to Marketwatch this week because I think economic issues will be a big issue next year, so I get it. If California negates Texas as far as seats in the House go, and there's not a slew of other red states tweaking their districts, we have a chance at hog tying the orange idiot.
Don’t talk yourself into liking Pritzker. Plz. You have a sense of wary for a reason. Pritzker shows signs of being useful in the moment, which is great. This absolutely does not mean we need to (continue to) normalize extreme wealth in politics. Regardless of the person, it’s what got us here.
The only way forward is to support Newsom (no E at the end of his name) and stop saying silly things like "but he's a fascist" or "he hates trans/gays/homeless etc" or "he only cares about himself". Some of it is valid, some is crap. It doesn't fucking matter. Get behind him and follow his lead.
Thanks for the spelling correction. It appears we are on the same page.
Absolutely 😊
We disagree because what he did in the past is egregious and we need him to commit to leaving homeless people and trans people the fuck alone if he gains more power. I support him over tbag but I don’t support him in many of his policy choices, which are cruel to minorities. He should fix that.
I'm for it. Newsom is the first Democrat to break through to the legacy media for longer than a minute.
Most of them are whining about one thing. Please pay attention to what they are saying. They aren't saying that #Newsom is a racist, agist, ableist, sexist, or homophobic. The complaints have something to do he said on his pod about Trans athletes.
So tired of Democrats doing the but he said this..who the F cares we're fighting for survival
Yessssssss! We went through this less than a year ago with Harris, who was SUPREMELY CAPABLE AND EFFICIENT REGARDLESS OF "BUT GAZA", and those same intransigent motherfuckers are trying to tear Newsom down because - he has flaws. FUCK ALL OF YOU. If he's the 2028 candidate then fucking VOTE for him!
I was in arguments with those people. “Newsom did this and did that” people. So what? Are we in a normal timeline? We are fighting to survive against fascists. Why do they push down our survival chances? I start to doubt their motivations. I don’t think they are sincere to survive in this hell.
I think they can’t see the forest for the trees. Gavin has made some pretty awful mistakes. But I’ll take the guy that’s gonna fight for us and hope he changes his position on the mess ups he’s made. Either way he’s the only one openly fighting for us right now.
You've articulated my view perfectly. Thank you 🙂.
You are absolutely correct. I was on YT this morning and generally people were glad our governor is fighting. There were some still complaining about he did this, he did that. Gosh. So frustrating. In this timeline we need everyone to step up. Why try to subdue people who are willing to fight?
It’s genius - so much good coming from this!! Besides enraging the regime …it seems to be absolutely getting attention and eyes and focus on the Nov Proposal. Which I’m guessing is their insightful, wise end game. BRAVO!!
This was the post above yours. I have decided to go all in mocking www.huffpost.com/entry/a-very...
The Great Fatsby is a really good punchline that no one will understand and that's sad
Does that make vance ‘Prick Carraway’?
👆👆👆 No one will understand this, but damn
#vivazapata
Unfettered ridicule, yes
I hope they keep it up.
Yes. And for all the Dem nitpickers out there for whom he doesn’t check every box, please fuck all the way off.
Why you mention about twitter??? Twitter don't exist anymore 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
The governors press team is smarter, faster and funnier than anything the #PedoFuhrer and his corrupt regime can produce And it’s driving all of them to massive tantrums of MAGA tears
This is hysterical! 😂
It really is 🤣🤣🤣
Heehee!
Love it
Mockery will help save the nation
A pissed-off Trump is at least hilarious! If he's pushed harder, he might blow a gasket. We'll get the chance to witness our fearless leader being taken away in a straitjacket. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He could be driven to drop an n-bomb in front of the cameras, and the MAGA cult would do logic gymnastics to defend it. Fortunately they’re only about 10-15%
🤷🏽♂️
If not a gasket then maybe a blood clot. 🤞
A gasket is a figure of speech. Generically, it could be anything.
That's not nice.
But what he's saying about and doing to us is okay. Turnabout is fair play!
Nahh, I want him stroked out, unable to move even a finger, but cognizant. I want him to hear all the awful things his sycophants say about him and be powerless to do a goddamned thing about it. All he'll have to look forward to is the next stroke.
But I was told Trump is the healthiest president EVER!! And he has the BEST brain!
Healthy in Trump's own mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In that world, he is also very handsome and physically fit!! 😆😆😆😆
6'3" 224lbs? NAH
Source?
Trump's own words, which means it's a lie!
It’s what one of his so called medical reports said.
🤣
No way!! 😆😆
Maybe some AI, but he looks good. Most important - he shows teeth, ironi and guts!!!
Who? Trump?
🤣
Bullies hate to be laughed at. Its why walz was spot on with calling them weird. They shoulda let him keep it up. We must learn from this!
Mockery is one of the few weapons we have left to us.
I wish more elected Democrats would do the same!
How about beating the authoritarian and making him disappear?
His tiktoks have had me crying tbh, they're so good and I'm happy someone is finally standing up
SPOT ON. 🤣😁😂
Same with the fake police. Ridicule thee fuck outta them.
LOL
Pleading and crying are what they desire above all else.
I have always thought that we need to turn the power of advertising campaign type responses back on the propaganda charged onslaught that the right puts out. That is exactly what Newsom's team has done. Stepping up and using all the tools at hand to change the dynamics. I'm loving it.
We are getting too much whining. Putting it in satire provides relief, points out truth, and provides reflection. It can be over done, so he needs to be careful.
Jock Wars
On point
It's classic strategy. Do whatever your opponent doesn't want you to do. Enrage them so they lash out and make mistakes. Plus anything that keeps his blood pressure high is working for us.
Wish more people would get this. They want you mad. They want to hear your screams and cries. That’s why they do it. Also, suffering attracts fewer allies than joyful warrioring.
Yes! Keep it up! Everyone needs to do this whenever the opportunity arises!
Imagine if all the top 100 Democrats did the same every day for a month…
He would implode. And probably declare and write EO’s to eliminate the Democratic Party declaring it unconstitutional and a bunch of other bs made up rules.
His orange Achilles’ heel.
This thread shows me that purity politics are going to be the death of this country.
Seems to be working although enraging Trump does not seem that difficult. Those Fox liars know this is a great strategy. They are all on their back feet for this. It is stupid. That is the point. You have all been stupid for a decade.
Yes… FOX is going crazy over this because… it’s the “Emperor’s New Clothes.”…. The Trump charade is great as long as everyone is in on it but when one person calls out the stupidity of Trumpism and others come on board then all of those who were part of the charade look stupid too…. 😭 sad for Fox
Someone found this and posted it here. It may be a historic troll. It shows the weird cult behavior of his manly supporters in thinking this odiferous pantload was manly. Nightmare.
👍😀
Great observation. House of cards.
Fox exists solely to be the main propaganda arm of the nearly ~50 years of GOP psyops on the base to get us exactly here. The GOP keeps the base purposefully uneducated b/c they are easier to manipulate and control. They convinced the base that ideology is more important than facts.
It's extremely easy to piss off a malignant narcissist. They are also extremely predictable and easy to manipulate.
Praise for a Latina woman is the genius behind the trolling. She understands parody and satire unlike the MAGA cult.
I agree!! Fake FOX Entertainment has smoke coming out of their ears!!!!! Absolutely hilarious 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would enjoy more references to Epstein, but other than that, no notes!
The files won’t save us and they won’t break the cult. The victims also won’t get justice under the regime. Overthrow the regime for justice.
I agree. I think as long as a single client of Epstein, who raped hordes of children, hasn’t been charged, we shouldn’t ever stop talking about it as much as possible.
agreed. we have to fight against the fascist regime and demand the Epstein files. a general strike would go a long way for the needed justice
I’d wager trump’s economic policies will lead to an involuntary general strike. I’d like these military leaders being released for honoring their oaths to step into the vacuum of organization and leadership the opposition seems to grapple with. We have some good strong voices, but still need action.
Exactly. They are already having the imprisoned woman predator spreading her lies, and the media ignores the victims. Still, she confirms he was associated with her and Epstein.
I feel like anything that maga potentially shows criticism of him over is a great thing to leverage in awareness of not only his crimes, but his long history of broken promises. I consider the maga horde brainwashed abuse victims. Keeping them questioning is imperative.
Yep they can dish it out but they can’t take it.
I wholeheartedly agree, Jeff
I mean he has really amped up the martial law stuff since then, so "results"?
I wholeheartedly agree. Calling 🌮out, on 🌮’s emotional intellectual level !!! 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏿👏🏼👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻👏🏾👍🏾💙💙💙✔️
Careful, the anti-Newsome trolls will come for you 😂
I understand it’s cathartic for the left but does it actually accomplish anything else?
Nothing else has accomplished much. They are almost as funny as The Three Stooges—who would have mocked them mercilessly.
Yes. It prevents Trump from enjoying all the suffering he’s spreading.
bsky.app/profile/sham...
I could almost make him an honorary Brit. NO ONE in the world does piss-takes like us Brits!
💯 agree! Plus, Newsom devised and implemented a potentially winning strategy...we haven't seen that from a DEM is our lifetime. Newsom could actually win, and if he continues with this new "strategizing" leadership style, there's hope for real change and not just winning to maintain the status quo
Very similar to the child pointing out the emperor has no cloths.
Absolutely!
@governor.ca.gov is doing it the best... Pointing and laughing at tRump is classic... Trump need to be removed any way possible.. now is when you wish "god" would come through on his promise to protect us from danger... so far it been a FAIL...
Fuck the nazi
💯
100%
Make him choke on that big mac
Now we need the journalists to all follow suit. “In a news conference today, President Trump rambled incoherently for some length of time that seemed like forever and honestly, we couldn’t stop looking at his enormous ankles and rotting hands.”
I am following Newsom on blue sky, but not seeing his Tramp trolls. Is he not posting them here? Or I'm not scrolling down far enough?
You need to follow @govpressoffice-m.bsky.social
Thanks! I hit the follow on that. ❤️
I agree
In reading ALL the responses in this post, I have noticed a trend. There are several new, baby accounts responding negatively only to the Newsom posts. Bots or trolls, I don't know. But they are suspect. And blocked from me.
it cuts right to the hurt. he can dish it out but he can't take it. Newsom is taller, thinner, younger, has more hair. ALL the things that are important to diaperman.
Especially him. He’s clearly that thin skinned.
He’s Trumplethinskin
The facial expression says it all after you stop laughing at the orange skin.😃😅😅🤣
Nothing like looking in the mirror and seeing the reflection is ugly AF. Trump and the magats don't seem to like what they see!😂
He * likes* and *thrives* on the pleading and crying. It makes him feel strong. The Mickey and reflection of his grotesquerie reveal that he is weak.
Also, the angrier Trump gets, the more likely he is to overreach.
Fingers crossed. I’m arguing wi/husband every day about what to do. Don’t want to be stuck here when it’s too late to get out. Hoping these signs of stiffer & more organized resistance from elected Dems (crucial) are beginning of robust pushback effort & fight for our country. This. Is. So. Hard.
States need their own troops
We have them. But the monster can federalize the like he did here (L.A.). And he will.
Grrr
I find it cheering to think of the states as separate nations, who have agreed to join a federation but retain some degree of autonomy. We’ve discussed going to the UK, but if you look over there the first thing you see is the wreckage caused by Brexit and the rise of Farage, Trump’s buddy.
CA could viably secede & we have right to, considering egregious violations of Constitution- that’s covenant & fascistic rule ain’t part of it. I don’t care what SCOTUS rules; not legit. We need Dem leaders to get there & defend us & our rights. I’m looking at Norway & Nova Scotia. I’m ready.
Norway seems to be an extremely enlightened country.
It is magical and I love it there. Plus Americans are allowed to buy property. Tougher in Canada. But maybe soon all democratic nations will start taking us in as political asylum seekers?
I hope so. We could apply for Irish passports, if only our Irish grandfather hadn’t deserted his wife and children and left no documentation!
I’m one generation too far removed for Ireland.
I think great-grandparents might be allowable.
True, but we must not replace one personality cult with another.
I have been hoping to see pushback about Dump's desire to get into heaven......commentary, rather.....
I have always thought politicians and anyone trump insulted should fight back by ridiculing him.
Malignant narcissists have no sense of humor. That is an absolute fact. They are incapable of laughing at themselves. They hate people making fun of them or being sarcastic with them. Want to really hurt Trump? Laugh at him. It depresses him. It ruins his day. Nice that it's that easy eh?
It 'tis.
I find it enjoyable...never could understand it with Trumpers...but now I get it. IT IS FUN.
Yup it’s time for Dems to ditch the slingshots & NUKE everything Maga!
Oh yes it does and I am here for it. 😀 😀 😀
Newsom’s tweets are very good satire too. Difficult to capture it so well, but he and his team have found the magic sauce.
I understand Fox’s reaction but the “centrist” pundits condemning Newsom despite normalizing and legitimizing Trump’s insanity every day as an inevitable new normal makes it pretty clear how we got here.
Seth Meyers famously made fun of Trump to such a degee that he disappeared and never ran for office. So yeah, AI memes and recycled south park jokes, that'll get them!
It's also fascinating to watch right-wing media outrage, especially from Fox News...How dare Newsom mock Dear Leader...oh, the disrespect!
So, he doesn't realize how insane his posts are in the first place but when they are mirrored back at him, he gets angry? Does his cult get angry too?
Well they have to, it's part of being in a dictatorial personality cult. You have to feel what great, dear leader is feeling, or you're an unpatriotic traitor heading for "re-education".
Newsom needs to ban all Trump admin from coming into the state of California.
This👆🏽bullies rely on the perception of “strength”.It stops a lot of folks from challenging them but mockery/being laughed at destroys that perception.Wish more democrats,independents,libertarians would step up.Prices are rising,recession looming, wars still going Mr. “Day one” has never been weaker
Hopefully more traction on this.....
She's vile and worthless, block her.
You are so right. I wish more people on this site would understand that and quit crying all day
It helps exploit the common denominator among all authoritarians. Their extreme insecurity.
This timeline is insane: We have as good of a chance as anything to defeat this jackass with a firehose of dick jokes as any other option. 13-year-old me would have a stomach ache from laughing at us even as he was aghast at being the same age as the girls Donald chases.
Nothing a Narcissist hates more than ridicule.
It's Trump's Achilles' heel
They hate mirrors 🪞
Can they see mirrors?
Ha! True!
What will Trumpedo do today to distract from the Trumpedo Files? Don’t attack populists. See “Outflanking Populism - a Manifesto to Inspire Trust, Create Hope, and Demand Immediate Positive Change”George Evans. UK-centric but its message applies everywhere. On Amazon. tinyurl.com/ymmnxdb5
Exact. Far too much whinging and wringing hands on BSKY. More mocking everyone!
Not true. The begging and pleading is part of what fuels the authoritarian. It’s the narcissism.
Gives us a good laugh, too.
Yup - I’m loving it, too. Gotta meet them where they are to be heard.
I am loving it...
So true! Great post for a Saturday!
Stooping ton his level be ause your own policy is a laughing stock does nothing
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 👍💪
God Bless and keep Gavin safe!! He’s on Fire & I can’t get enough of his hilarious Trump Trolling! Makes Maga Mad💙💙😆
It’s Mel Brooks’ Genius Strategy - nothing hurts Fascists more than making people laugh at them (and there is SO MUCH to laugh at).
💯‼️
And the more he keeps on doing it the more enraged the Wannabe King becomes!
Camilla Zapata is a genius
Agreed. Pleading and crying titillate Trump and Miller. Inflicting pain puffs them up. Laughter takes them down.
When you’re left with Newsom as your last cause, you’re left with nothing. Jess, I certainly didn’t think you’d buy into this fucking self-serving dweeb. We need to make sure Dema never trust people like Gavin ever again, he’s largely how we got here.
Another Russian troll reveals himself!
“Boomer" is the N-word for senior citizens. If you use it, you can expect me to block you.”
If you need to block me to save face, go ahead. No need to feel ashamed.
We’re friends, Dazed. I won’t ever let the guise of social media cause me to feel some sort of way about a fellow prog. I am allowed to go after Jess for her minor endorsement of Gavin, Gavin is actually the person you don’t want in your life. He pretends to agree with you and love you but he would
knife you in front of the pope for a promotion. We can leave our disagreements at that, ma’am.
The enemy of my enemy is...?
NOTHING upsets the $Conman-in-Chief more than being laughed at. -Not children being abducted by Putin. -Not starving children in Gaza. -Not seeing ICE attack people who’s only offense is being undocumented. -Not treating homeless people like garbage. But laugh at him and he sees red.
He cares more about Epstein files & accusations of tacky Whitehouse decor. Holding a mirror up to the weak patheticness of that makes it harder for the cult to maintain their perception of him as some strong man. Mocking the post style highlights the madness that we accepted that as a norm
💯
Far extremist right media fell over themselves in denouncing, but stupid in not realizing what they coddled, pushed, and opened the door to bit their own behind.
Narcissists are really easily triggered. I want #Cankles to snap.
And so are dictators
Totally true. A fascist, narcissistic, poorly made up, hopefully dying, orange, bloated, obviously useless and moronic dictator, like #CanklesMcTacotits, aka #DiaperDonnie, #DementiaDon and numerous other earned monikers is a dictator.
I've collapsed more bullies, at school or jobs, by getting everyone laughing at them. I'm quaking in my boots while doing it, but it works every time.
Plus, trump's closest sychapants are responding to it.
And the media is drawn to the entertainment...they ignor Democrats because their plans, messages, and accomplishments are not exciting. Now the cameras are turned on Newsom.
And it's really getting under Trump's very thin skin. Every day I wake up and check to see if there is a new Gavin meme. Whoever creates them needs a RAISE.
Exactly. That’s why I’ve been begging for a change in controlling the narrative since Trump came on the scene. This isn’t my first rodeo with white nationalists. I grew up in a state filled with them. I know how to send them home crying to their mommies. And so does Newsom’s team.
So true!
I’m viewing Newsom’s trolling as satire that reveals how the media has been uncritically covering Trump’s rants for years.
That too.
EXACTLY!!!!
For the life of me, I can't figure out how anybody took this clown seriously! I was a reader of Spy magazine back in the late 80s, and every month there was some bit of criminality by Donald "Stinky" Trump, the "short fingered vulgarian." books.google.com?id=u30ch879g...
Yes I was a Spy reader, I remember this well.
Living in Kansas City missouri, for a while there I wasn't sure that he actually existed; that nobody could be this crass and venal. I thought he was somebody that they created, like "office boy" and blurb-o-mat Walter Monheit.
Venal is the term. I love the dimwits all saying in 16 "he's perfect for Prez-- he's a billionaire, so he can't be bought!" As if an individual who has relentlessly, obsessively chased wealth &has shown a decades-long, gluttonous, greed-driven pattern of never having enough would be the SAFE bet...
"Short fingered Vulgarian" was the insult SPY came up with for that edition of Spy... variety.com/1992/tv/revi...
Because people have short memories. And 40 years later, it's worse.
Billionaires controlling the media is a huge problem. They keep us divided so we don’t chop their heads off and redistribute the wealth.
No it's because America allowed greedy grifters to take over because they spoke racism from a podium and they loved it. We need to recognize that a large portion of Americans would rather the country burn than have equal rights. And some of those people are brown.
Wilhoit's Law: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." That can be expanded to out-groups whom they don't wish to have benefits offered to themselves.
Wilhoit's Law is an accurate conclusion, but it's not immediate clear to conservatives how it could possibly be. You and I see the law as a way to enforce conduct uniformly: anyone who commits a given offense should be subject to the same penalty (with some variance for specific circumstances). 1/x
But conservatives see the law as a way to punish bad people. And who are bad people? Well, not conservatives; conservatives are good people. No, the bad people are those people over there. So whenever the law is applied to conservatives, they see it as a miscarriage of justice. 2/x
So yes, Wilhoit's Law correctly describes the system that conservatives want, but they are not trying to create an unfair system. It just so happens that their concept of "fair" is rooted in short-sighted and frankly idiotic principles that guarantee injustice. 3/3
But it serves them personally so good luck ever getting them to see the problem.
Then I would argue that Gavin is a conservative.
He's a milquetoast D part of the corrupt circle jerk between corporate-owned media that takes ad money from corporate owner-donors who bribe elected officials in both parties while gaslighting people to believe everything's red v blue instead of the truth - elitist predatory class v everyone else.
F off fascist freak
Obviously, you have reading comprehension issues, so you can fuck off. Maybe one day you'll actually come to the left, but only if you take your tongue off his boots first. He, and other milquetoast Ds don't give a fuck about you since he works for the elitist predatory class. You do you, though...
You first fascist POs
And you’ll vote for him in 2028 if he wins the Democrat presidential primary. 🙂
What the fuck?! My state has been red for the president since the 1960s due to the Electoral College, and I have only voted for one milquetoast D since I realized they were bought just like Rs. I'm free to vote according to my conscience, not the lesser of two evils bullshit that won't be counted.
Also, I'm not a Democrat. 🤷🏼♀️
Your photograph is very interesting and I agree with those statements
Time machine, go back and assassinate all the depression era revival preachers, starting with the Grahams. Sorted!
Um... No. But I do think that prosecution of Confederate supporters after the war would have done much to quell the white supremacy that has plagued our nation. We have consistently allowed crimes committed by them to go unpunished for convenience or profit and it has corrupted our country greatly.
Never underestimate religious grifters, just the same.
I certainly do not. I would say that the true believers can be just as dangerous. The proof is in the action. Who do they support? Why? What do they use their platform for? To uplift or to suppress? Graham was a true believer but also a bigot and willing to side with horrible people.
Access to power ultimately corrupts the weak minded.
Gore Vidal called the U.S. "the United States of Amnesia". Because memory skills.
I just want to make sure that everyone knows what the "stinky" nickname was about. It's British slang for an audible fart. I didn't believe this, until I saw Narrowboat YouTuber David John's apologize for having "trumped". @cruisingthecut.bsky.social
Holy cow, that article. I remember his gut-wrenchingly cringe submissions to the NY gossip columns about himself from fake names, about what a hot, desired, bad boy uber-stud he was, &how they'd publish them all as gospel. Now I learn the financial version of his staggering, pathological lying.
Every issue of Spy magazine is fully reachable and searchable from that link.
Thank you so much.
Glad to help! If I had infinite time, I would page through every issue of that magazine, trying to spot Jeffrey Epstein at all the New York parties they covered. From what I understand, one of the owners of the magazine may have been one of Epstein's clients, so they might have hidden him.
SPY Magazine was a short lived now dearly missed publication. The piece they did on a Republican tour of Europe right after the Berlin Wall "fell" was brilliantly funny.
The three magazines I most miss are Spy, National Lampoon and Grey Areas.
Bingo
Well said.
Let's get that blood pressure in the boiling zone. The angrier he gets, the stupider he sounds: I like grass. We have some beautiful grass here* *not trying to directly quote this buffoon; you all know what i'm talking about
I hope more democratic politicians follow Gavin newsom’s lead on effectively trolling Trump, but not follow his heartless hate for homeless people
The Emperor is naked.
Exactly, I am tired of hearing people complaining about Newsom. He’s one of the only ones fighting fire with a blow torch
So true. Righteous anger, frustration, logic, reasoning, citing the law, Jesus, old and new testaments, Moses, god in general, their own actions in the past etc etc only makes them doubledown.
What women have been saying for years: Match. Energy. It shows who they are when they clutch their pearls after you behave like them.
And his cult
We all need to do a lot more pointing and laughing
We'll see how hilarious it is when he gets the John Bolton treatment. Or worse.
He's a smart guy. Unlike Maga sycophants, and apparently the rest of Dems,he knows how dire this shit is. Anyone standing up consistently now could be the next Alexi Navalny in a few years, failure to take these fuckers on for the last 50 years got us here. So good luck Gav, hell need it. 👍
Only one thing got us here, rigging the elections. sdvoice.info/trump-lost-v...
This is exactly right!
Snark and sarcasm are underappreciated as weapons.
Newsom will end up being arrested by the DOJ before 2028.
I fear for Newsome. He is getting under Trump's skin. He is the closest thing to Trump's Navalny right now. Newsome, use caution. There is no bottom to what Trump will try. Thank you for the great work, and keep it up!
John Lennon was right.
trump is a special case, too, because his skin is just paper thin and he's such a narcissist he'll be so endlessly triggered. I am glad about that.
Those post are the best whenever you need a belly laugh —absolutely great!
A friend sent to me from her FB account. If they gave out Emmy’s for reels… www.facebook.com/reel/648406731624709/?mibextid=ZZyLBr
You know it’s bothering them because of all the trolls attacking Newsom for doing it showing up on Bluesky.
It can make them screw up. Ask anyone that can hold their own. Blind ketchup rage such as his in a fight would be a loss for him via KO. Fighting folks keep a tempered, calm, controlled anger. Dodge the rage, wump that fucker in the guts and let him liver glitch.
I wouldn’t call it a Twitter troll. I would call it a rapid response to the bullshit that the world has had to be subjected to from these fucking idiots called Maga or anyone that supports the felon in the White House.
Applause AND standing ovation! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rapid response team needs to be the Democrat and Independents new way forward
Maga IS the Republican party. There's no differentiation. They're one in the same. And we need to make that very clear. Because it's the truth.

Just like the Mueller report all the way up to 2024….not just Russia, China, Iran and India, etc… US officials uncover alleged Russian ‘bot farm’ www.bbc.com/news/article...
Not like we’re exactly innocent— Anyone notice the former pornbots that showed up and liked every post from the last three years are now trying to camouflage as “regular posters”? Namely by reposting with generic happy-progressive faux-Bluesky comments of “We can beat this! Spread the love! 🫶”
And the "old style" who starts all know-it-all and ends contradicting itself while still trying to insult you.
You mean the relentless influx of these accounts with their identical and moronic posts that I've been reporting daily now?
I block every porn bot.
Seriously. Like we can’t see their fucking asses coming a mile away. SOP on Bluesky.. Bye Bye..
Not everyone can. Look at my screenshots above. They get plenty of engagement w/ their chipper "Hey BlueSky loves! 💖 Can we talk about Mississippi?? Call me idealistic, but we can't cut down rights for an entire state! Can we chat, friends?" bullshit. As fast as I report them, they pop up w/likes.
Those are all bot codes. Lol
And I know they’re AI bots, but darn it, I never could resist an irresistible lead in: 😈
Sometimes a challenge to keep up. I miss some.
So true. I always wonder why they follow me. I wouldn’t block except they show up in my follows.
Same
I, too, don’t go down the “let’s research the many porn accts following me” bc I block them lol. Any thirst trap accts go bye bye on my feed
I have noticed. They try to get me to follow them all the time. Always young women without a face.
And always with four or five interesting New-Englandish hobbies in their bios, like painting ceramic pots to do her planting in while reading political fantasy.
Ha ha ha - exactly. She never has anything interesting to post or say either. Just inspirational pictures and quotes. Give me old hippies and academics any day. At least they are edgy and human.
They exposed amerikas ultimate weakness, the education and religious systems failure to teach discernment and critical thinking. And a shot was never fired.
They may have won the battle but they HAVE NOT WON THE WAR
They've taken over TikTok pretty much.
My husband & I only call him a See You Next Tuesday ❗️ A Big One❗️❗️❗️
Yes!!! Go, Gov Gavin! Troll on!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
you bet it does. try it on your cat.
Yeah, Granny Killers and Mass Murderers of Senior Citizens are the real comedians aren't they. Just what some people want as the leaders of their State and the nation. Newsome used WWII Nazi War Crimes Aktion T4 protocols on nursing home residents. Bio-Terrorism. Rule of 3 is a Mass Murderer.
I’m convinced he invaded dc because Newsom humiliated him. We need to keep pushing his buttons because the faster he spirals, the sooner we get the runner up… 98% of Americans share the same opinion of the runner up *wink wink*
Honestly, all women who began practicing law in the early 1980s learned that the only way to knee cap opposing counsel who were bullies (and male), was to laugh at them. 🤷🏻♀️
And further exposes the f-ing President is INSANE❗️❗️❗️
The one thing a narcissist can’t tolerate is being laughed at
There’s a far right parade to Hitler’s birthplace (or something like that) from time to time. The opposition turn up in clown suits and mock them endlessly. Very effective.
Totally!!
Vance the ass said he’s imitating Trump- no, you jerk- he’s trolling the f out of him!!
EXACTLY THIS !!!!
This is the way. The “weird” campaign worked and we abandoned it. Time to point out the absolute sadness and hilarious tragedy that these assholes are.
There are a thousand examples of pure stupidity that we could have beaten into the ground to make him look even dumber than he is. Ingesting bleach, cancerous windmills, raking the forests, and rerouting a tropical storm with a Sharpie. The list is endless.
The “good” news is that he keeps on giving us fresh new material every minute of every day.
It's only good if we use it to hammer him.
It seems like the appetite to do so is starting to form. And it needs to finish him this time, so we need to throw the entire kitchen sink at everything all the time until he’s gone.
If Democrats knew how to play this game, he would have been done after grab her by the pussy.
Well, we had to fundraise off of the first 40,000 horrible things he said first, so not so fast there!
Ohhh …. whoa genius…. !
It would be more effective if more candidates troll, shame, and mock the orange one besides Newsom. More spines needed. Astroturf has no roots.
Jonathan Swift knew that. Voltaire knew that. Twain knew that. Stewart and Colbert know that. Stewart and Colbert or satirists in the great tradition. Mock and jeer power so its battery dies. Now a politician’s comms staff is exploiting “laughtivism” (look it up) to bring down the wannabe dictator.
So does Mel Brooks.
Indeed! Heard him describe it many years ago (Probably an interview re: The Producers). Really made an impression.
And Lubitsch! His "To Be Or Not To Be" is hilarious. "Heil myself!" And Mel Brooks remade it.
Love it! Have seen them all!
Comedians, like satirists and court jesters, speak with impunity. Of course a mad king can have their heads if he wants, but at the expense of not being able to take a joke.
Was there a German satirist who made fun of Hitler's mustache in the early 1930s?
Damn. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_G...
I think the more effective route is group or anonymous ridicule such as the “laughtivism” tactics that activists subjected Slobodan Milosevic was subjected to. For example, after he built a bridge to show he was a great leader, people hung tiny models of the bridge to show how tiny he really was.
Certainly safer! The Night of the Long Knives seems imminent (with all the military placement plans).
I’m still trying to be hopeful.
Tubas. Trombones. Kazoos. Clowns and colorful costumes. Singing, dancing and brass marching bands! In the streets passing out balloons and flowers. All strategies used to neutralize and thwart the purposeful intimidation and incessant fear mongering.
I read that Washingtonians are following ICE, NG, Cops. Etc., and quietly documenting their patrols. No protesting, no heckling, just quiet filming. Apparently it’s wigging the cops out. Trump 1.0 resistance tactics WILL NOT WORK this time around.
Those strategies I listed were used on Nazi brown shirts strutting their stuff on the streets in the Netherlands decades+ ago. Turning their tactics of fear and intimidation into a joke thoroughly humiliating them. Using mirrors to help them see themselves is also helpful.
Which is great Ms. Zapata is very funny. Gavin is still a corporate stooge and a grifter.
I agree on both points. And I also think he’s stepping up. This sort of satire can be produced by staffers (joke writers) but he has to be the one delivering it. I see Newsom as the exterminator making the way for a better 2028 candidate.
Newsom is a snake looking to take the presidency. Trump is trying to keep it till he's dead. Newsom isn't going to be any better on most issues especially fiscal ones and the social safety net. He is fully owned by AIPAC and billionaires.
Again, no real disagreement. The focus should be on how satire coming from his communications office is effective in the present. We can worry about 2028 when the primaries come. I’m not going down the purity rabbit hole right now. Doing so is why the left loses.
I agree 💯👍
No absolutely NOT. The left loses because the left never has the support of big donors and because the left is so very often afraid of it's own shadow. Zorhan is proof that being unafraid to speak the truth and being "on the left" are very good things that people identify with.
Absolutely nothing in my original comment pertained to Newsom political future. He is currently serving a particular purpose. That’s it. This has nothing to do whether anybody likes him.
Humiliation is kryptonite to a narcissist - narcissistic collapse, narcissistic mortification. Turn up the heat #TeamNewsom🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Comedy is the true voice of the people
Mel Brooks agrees
It’s the “The Emperor has no clothes” approach.
Now that's a vision nobody wants to see. Trump naked would be one of the grossest things ever seen on the web.
Truth!! Everyone always wants to know what can we do to stop this insanity. I am more than willing to point and laugh relentlessly FOR FREE.
He is masterfully pointing out just how idiotic Don Old's unhinged rants are.
And it sure does use up a lot of bottles of ketchup!😉
Anything to piss Trump off is genius. Love it!
And thou shalt beat thy Ar15's and pipe bombs into pointed criticism and ridicule. Born and raised on Long Island I have the skills the coming movement needs.
I was born there and moved when I was 10. I hear the county I lived in is very trumpy.
GD, I wish that we had started doing this in 2020.
2015!
Beat me to it. 👏👏
Democrats need a psychiatrist on staff to give them the needed understanding of dealing with and attacking a delusional, narcissistic, misogynistic mind.
Especially when the authoritaian has a small penis... 😏
And since they are not operating by any sort of reason, reasoning with them is a waste of time.
AND...BONUS... enrages a narcissist
THIS.
100%. Mockery and humor are deadly weapons vs. dictators and wannabe dictators. Trump is a pretend mob boss, but he's far too insecure to pull it off. #WeakTrump should trend. Fascists depend on the illusion of strength and power to thrive. EVERYTHING he does is a sign that he's a very weak man.
The Taco 🌮 tmurpfff really hit home i think. They didn't seem to like that at all. They had no clapback, it folds, like a taco. The messaging is too simple to push back against, so it works.
Weak decrepit infirm stupid cruel mentally ill snowflake. He’s Velcro for mocking.
Kill HIS ego & he dies. Been saying it for years…
🤞the orange monster will blow a gasket (if you know what I mean).
#fucktrump
How true.
