Has Arnold Schwarzenegger spoken out again the Texas gerrymander, since he’s so opposed to the idea in principle? I haven’t seen it, if he has…
Like father like son.
I see his point but see the future of America if they don't. America will not survive. We shouldn't have to do this but we do.
They are counting on us “not stooping” to their level which means a we wouldn’t drive them out of government. Guess what, we e learned a thing or two and while I object to gerrymandering, I object even more to leaving the system rigged in favor of rapists and fascists
I am hoping even the cult votes against him. A blue wave a mile high.
Awomen!
In 2004 Newsom broke the law by issuing same sex marriage licenses in SF. In 2005 Arnold vetoed a same sex marriage law and remained against marriage equality. He was wrong then and may be wrong now. But after being SO wrong, why would anyone care what he thinks?
What about all the other gerrymandering? It's been going on for decades, yet suddenly he has an opinion?
Schwarzenegger also spoke out about Trump's meeting with Putin degrading Trump for it yet nat'l tv media doesn't mention that, they only show his picture in social media. Perfect example of the news bubble/silo. News orgs want you to think their is only right & left bubbles but they are a bubble.
I mean the statement I saw seemed to say that nobody should be doing gerrymandering and that CA shouldn’t be sinking to that level which seems to be “against the TX gerrymander” implicitly.
He's opposed Trump and sounded pretty rational, but his adherence to the independent commission in light of current circumstances is a shame. What he should be saying is that he approves the TEMPORARY suspension of the committee to balance out Texas, but believes in a nationwide independent map.
His silence speaks volumes, sadly.
Of course not! That would be logical.
ARNOLD DO THE RUGHT THING Speak out on TEXAS
He's a registered Republican ... I doubt we will "principle" or not.
He has, and he's kind of stuck with his position. The change in Cali, though, is only going to be temporary through 2030. Then, they have the option of using independent groups to draw the maps. Texas' change is not.
Arnold has a point. Gerrymandering is bad and retaliatory gerrymandering is not acceptable. Like using steroids in bodybuilding is bad and using steroids to keep up with the other cheating competitors is not acceptable. 🙄
A.S. just wants people to remember that he was our governor…nobody cares. He did do two environmental act.; but, I only remember him for sucker punching Darrell Issa, when Issa funded Gray Davis recall; but, the state voted for Arnie. Yeah, good times. Gray Davis is a good man
a simple, but excellent point. A journalist should ask him, but it seems our mainstream media is coming up short on a lot of important stuff.
🤔
Wild how these republicans speak out when done in retaliation but they are silent when the initial act by Texas was proposed.
They are opposed in principle when dems do it when its say texas its about states rights Its the perfect double think
He's too busy filling in potholes.
Arnold “Fuck your freedoms” Schwartzenagger
Nope.
He has.
Hey Arnold, pipe down. All Dems like the idea of independent congressional districting. We win most times if it's a fair fight. Republicans are cheating and as Gavin Newsome says they need to be smashed in the face.
(With my best Arnold impression in mind) What would the terminator do? Say we can’t fight fire with fire? Slink off and say that Texas can affect our future but California can’t? Texanz mostly have become violently radical repubs Women haters People of color haters Fuckoff Texas leaders 1843 called
I can guarantee you he isn't speaking out because he knows he's guilty of doing it when he was governor and would prefer people would probably call him out for being a hypocrite if he did
Well,Arnold?
"This man has lived his American life using liberal largesse to his enjoyment and benefit. When it's time to pay the piper his payback goes to fascists. Class A phony!" Ben Zedrine.
You know he hasn’t.
Well he did but he also does not want CA to do it does not understand that at this time it seems the only way to stop tump and if the bill does say it goes back at next census then I think the people are protected. www.msn.com/en-us/politi...
Aahnuld needs to take a nap with his ass.
Schwarzenegger is a Republican. Never forget what Republicans are.
There are NO good rapeublicans. NOT ONE.
I totally agree.
All the good ones and some of the less bad ones were kicked out. Hell, several Republicans that are evil were kicked out for not being trumpy evil.
Never the party of law & order. Never the party of fiscal responsibility. And God help any non-conforming child born into those " family values". Conservatism does not support democracy, it aligns with authoritarianism. They want a Big Daddy "keep them safe" and to tell them what to do.
Anyone supporting this administration at this point is a fascist, knowingly or not.
There is no excuse for being ignorant at this point. They know
Might have been those first two things back before the whole Southern Strategy thing. Back when the Democrats were the party of the KKK instead of the Republicans.
Technically in 1940s it was "Dixiecrats" the conservative, far-right wing of Democratic party, not entire party. Thurmond, head of Dixiecrats, joined Republican party when Dixiecrats disbanded Prior to this, several Repub Congress members were Nazi sympathizers, spending tax $ to spread propaganda
So appreciate what you did there… should be adopted at the standard.
OMFG please understand I meant *as* the standard lololol 🤦🏻♀️
I knew what you meant. It happens to me all of the time.
“Rapeublicans”? I’m stealing that
Me too 😁
Yes. His climate positions are also a garbled mess. He's inauthentic, self- adoring & not all that bright.
Yup.
I seem to recall seeing a video of him commenting.
bsky.app/profile/sham...
Arnold is being an A$$hole to go up against CA gerrymandering, but not Texas. And so is his Son-in-Law Chris Pratt, who has been praising RFK Jr.
Agreed.
He's always been crazy. Republicans have send shiny expensive mailers to encourage us to stop the NEW MAPS. Please give to the campaign for new maps in CA Great trolling merchandise here from newsome! store.gavinnewsom.com/the-patriot-...
Their true colors are showing Russia would be proud
Arnold is an asshole, that's factually correct, but he is against Texas gerrymandering too and he stated it multiple times, so that portion is factually false.
Ok if you say so. Have never heard him say it.
bsky.app/profile/left...
#ChrisPratt is a callous, uninformed buffoon.
Fuck Chris Pratt and fuck Arnold too.
Arnold is a Republican has always been a Republican will always be a fucking Republican! He fucked his maid for christ sakes. He’s one of them.
In the home he shared with his wife and kids. Republicans are sexual predators.
Yup, glaring ones
@georgetakei.bsky.social isn't there some kind of "A-list" actors Zoom meeting you can join for this? Like the rotating club list in Hollywood for only those in the know? 😜
He will make the excuse that, that is Texas. I dont live in Texas. That is a copout.
Like most Republicans, he hasn't.
He has. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
He's still taking the side of the Texas.
All these leftists who believe the problem is we need term limits or retirement ages have it wrong. The problem is gerrymandering but Democrats should not unilaterally disarm.
Getting rid of gerrymandering would solve the problem of politicians getting too comfortable in their seats. We would actually have competitive primaries & general elections if we didn’t have deep blue or deep red districts.
Of course he is.
It sounds too much like both-sidesing.
Does he still hate both parties while being a registered Republican?
👂👂 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗 🦗
Arnold was a republican governor, was he not? Of course he opposes.
Reminder that he ended the gerrymandering in CA that favored Rs and replaced it with a system that has favored Dems.
All the way back to Nixon republicans have voted AGAINST AMERICANS!! No such thing as a reformed republican unless they own their mistakes and vote blue after that! Or the oxymoron reagan republican!
Don’t know about the oxy, but they are *definitely* morons
The people standing on so called principle need to offer alternative, effective actions. If ya got nothing be quiet
Nope. I havent seen that either.
That man has proven many times over how two-faced he is And that whole "Whoops, I had a child with our maid" thing? Just more proof of his complete lack of integrity
NO
Hey Arni “don’t come back”
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a guy who threw his blue blood marriage away diddling the housekeeper, is not a guy I look to for sound judgement.
Schwarzenegger is weaker than we knew, until now…. Could be he’s actually a coward 🤷🏻♀️ Certainly his discernment is lacking in integrity 🤦🏻♀️
He’s a white supremacist in sheep’s clothing like Chris Pratt.
He'd best put the giddy in the up...
He's against all gerrymandering. I find the accusations about him being a fascist laughable considering he's been warning everyone that would listen that Trump is a fascist since at least 2016.
Arnold is too wishy washy - let him stay home and STFU
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s statement of principle concerning WW2: Nazis killing Frenchmen is wrong but Frenchmen then killing Nazis is equally wrong.
I'm very disappointed in Arnold's silence. Frankly I'm disappointed with Arnold. Before the "election" he was vocal in his opposition. He went to Auschwitz to warn about that reoccurring. Where is he now?
Arnold doesn’t know which side to take the left or right. He might be going through a mental crisis or melt down no respect for the man anymore after the view & myers shows interview
One on Trump / Putin youtu.be/zsGwdhTFaJI?...
Nope
Yes it's wrong Arnold but we have to fight 47...
He’s one of the worst kind of Republicans. He sounds moderate to appeal to the center left, but in reality is completely complicit with the rising fascism.
Like father, like son.
Meh. Not really.
Yeah Ned, really.
Arnold is one of the few republicans that speaks out. However, he's doing the whole bothsidesism. Arnold blames the GOP and the Left. I take issue with that since the so-called tree hugging hippie Left are the ones standing up for the military, diplomacy, free/fair elections, and democracy!
Well… he is an Austrian after all 💁🏻♀️
Taking after his father, the Nazi.
I don’t think he’s that bad, but he’s certainly not thinking of a greater good.
How else do you think he became governor? Dude is a major opportunist.
He’s worse. He talks a good game but doesn’t deliver. Pretty, empty words. m.youtube.com/watch?v=A18E...
A Joe Manchin with bigger muscles.
So, I received a mailer in today's mail that opposes the #California redistricting plan on November's ballot. #Newsom signed the bill yesterday.
Yeah. Odd, that...
When he was on Kimmel, Jimmy kept on trying to make him say something bad about trump and he wouldn't budge. Kept going on about how it's both sides fault that America is in the mess its in.
Also the second season of Fubar was really really bad, so I think we can now call him a has been.
Nope. He’s a republican. There are no republican heroes…none.
Although I disagree with Liz, Adam, and Mitt… they never supported the daughter fucker. Not one vote. Low bar but at least they were unwilling to betray their country.
I guess. Very, very low bar but…where were they on voting rights? Liz n Adam voted with Drumpf over 90% of the time… I dunno.
I agree, I wouldn’t vote for them. But I also wouldn’t have to worry about them betraying their country for power. None of our values seem to align but theirs didn’t shift for the daughter fucker. Yes, the bar is very low, sadly.
Yes, he’s spoken out against it. He was part of the force to get gerrymandering out of the hands of politicians in California.
Arnold is trying to remain relevant. His netflix series was canceled and he's just pissy he can't be the magot president.
Would be interesting if he did speak up. gerrymandering should be a bipartisan concern. But yeah, Arnold’s been more focused on keeping himself in the spotlight lately than actually leading on issues.
He’s up in smoke… he has nothing to say.
Today I received a mailer from the No on Prop. 50 folks. Already going after it.
These damned gov't tyranny issues are so easily solved by The Second Bill of Rights. Please tell folks to help establish its 501(c)(3) in September! Donate today! Spread the word far and wide. www.secondbillofrights.us/donate Even if it's $10 or $20 . . . every little bit helps get us there.
Like the NRA, somehow forgetting to rise up when there’s an actual coup. Then you know the secretly sided with the Oligarchs all along.
I’m against it. But here in TX, that’s all they (GOP) do. These assholes have been doing it for decades. Unless there’s enough republicans that will vote the other way in 2026 I can’t see our way out of this mess. Even then, he’s planning to turn the military against the citizens. Mark my words!
Trump already announced he is planning to deploy the NG to 19 states. All but 2 on the list are solidly red states. He probably thinks they will comply easier, and they are Fox News brainwashed sheep so he is probably right. Nevada is the most likely of the 19 states to push back any.
NOPE, he hasn't
No because he is a republican. Still in bed with Enron, still a snake, still a liar, still for sale, still a bad governor, still a cheater.
That dude that cheated on his wife with their housekeeper and had a child? I have to wonder if she ever felt like she had a choice… But if his family can’t trust him, why should anyone else?
Pick a side Arnie! This is war not gerry salamandering.
Yeah we are all against it. I'm not sure Arnie is getting this.
HE'LL BE BACK!!! 😜
Yes he has, i shared the vid a week ago but it was taken down by Twix I tried to share it to Bluskies and it wouldn't let me...
He has not. Massively disappointed in @schwarzenegger.bsky.social
What would you expect from a man that cheated on his wife with an employee that likely didn’t have much choice inside the home he shared with his family. Total 💩 bag. He humiliated his family to get his dick wet.
Yes, he has. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
He's both siding it
To an extent. He said it’s wrong for anyone and Abbott is wrong, period. But then he proposes the old, when they go low, we go high, as if that’s not a fast track to putting the final nail in this country’s coffin. I would normally also lobby against tit for tat, but these aren’t normal times.
Haven’t heard either, I reached out to him and asked that he join in the fight against the R’s, can no longer support him if he goes against this movement.
Who cares what Arnold thinks? Has-been LOSER!
If he's putting his foot in that pool, he needs to jump in full cannonball OR he has no credibility.
Haven't read a thing about him lately. BTW, Uncle George..I would highly recommend that you and Brad read The House in the Cerulean Sea. I think you would love it. I so hope it's made into a film, we could use it in this world today!
He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Can't you just get a proportional representation election system like real countries have them?
“It’s not a battle between Democrats and Republicans,” the former Republican governor of California Schwarzenegger over Zoom Friday. “This is a battle between the politicians and the people. I go with the people.”
Arnold should be talking to his right-wing friends. Democrats must go on the offensive and kick the shit out of Trump and his fascist party.
He seems to be falling back into the Republican mode because if he's against Newsoms California gerrymandering,he must want the Republicans to remain in control.
well his son-in-law is a MAGA moron so maybe he's trying not to make waves.
Schwarzenegger left office with an approval rating hovering in the mid 20s, leaving the state $28 billion in a financial hole. Pretty sure no one who matters cares too much about his opinion on this.
#Schwarzenegger was a huge failure. Typical #Republican fucking up the economy and blaming someone else.
Recall when he ran he said "I'll open the books and cut out all the fat." #Hypocrite
I have been involved in a group that proposed to end gerrymandering, and I feel like I am seeing efforts implode. This exactly illustrates why it is wrong. The value of our votes is constantly being eroded anymore.
I’m also against gerrymandering in principle. I’m just more against ending up like Victor Jara at the moment.
youtu.be/Li2AAl6qlx0?... I found this so far...
Wrong choice, Arnold.
No, but his brain is broken. eeuauaughhhuauaahh.ytmnd.com
Great question
abcnews.go.com/Politics/arn...
www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Remember how he became Governor?! Happily used manipulation and loopholes to get the job. That was a step to where we are today, dismantling democracy, and he owns some of it. Fuck him, a serial sexual harasser, a maid impregnating a duplicitous liar.
Yes, didn’t he say he was going to…investigate himself…?
He did all the shows a few weeks ago and talked about it with the hosts.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQN9...
He didnt get to the chopper yet
Yes, he has. There was an TV with him speaking out
A hypocritical Republican. Not a surprise. I wouldn't trust Schwarzenegger alone with the hired help.
Raise your hand if anything Schwarzenegger says matters. At all.
I think Schwarzenegger must be involved in the Epstein scandal. He clearly doesn't want accountability.
Hey Arnie, when you are coming back.
Anyone else find it totally suspicious that Arnold hates Trump, but felt the need to come out of the shadows against Newsom and saving democracy?
Newsome isn't "saving democracy", he is grabbing power in order to neutralize Texas' power grab. It is not the end of the world, but it is as far as saving democracy as you can be. And he is speaking out against all gerrymandering, including the Texas one.
Newsom is not the hero you all want to believe. The guy hates the homeless, and supports Israel.
I agree that Newsom may not be the 2028 presidential candidate we're looking for, but right now, he's the governor we need!
There is no politician thst is 100 % perfect. I do not agree with everything he says or do but we need more politicians that fight against trump lile he does. Its the same with Harris. People did not vote for her due to israel
While i understand why, i cannot accept or forgive the people who did not vote for her because thanks to them we now have orange hitler who kisses putins ass destroys the environment sacrificies ukraine destroys gays rights attacks the sick science etc...😢
He’s the guy we need HERE right now. We’re not electing him president - we’re supporting his fight when no other Dems are doing squat. Let’s stop with the purity tests…
That's all fine and dandy because I ain't looking for a "hero". We don't live in a fairy tale, there's no knight in shining armor, nor chosen one. But the monsters are quite real and need to be ousted. We need to help ourselves before we can help others. Priorities, man. Priorities.
How'd that mentality work out for anyone that didn't vote for Harris because she didn't speak enough against the genocide in gaza? Think maybe what we got was worse?
Not under any illusion he's a knight in shining armor but when we're drowing we'd better grab the hand reaching out instead of waiting for our perfect savior.🤷♀️
He may not be not a hero, but he’s resisting and that’s huge for an establishment politician, it means he cares about more than just himself. Right now, he’s standing up to fascism, which is heroic behavior. Also, this is a gross oversimplification and misinterpretation of his stance on these issues
You need to focus on the biggest threat right now, not your personal distastes. Saving democracy is everything - without that, you'll have no ability to oppose anything at all.
I'm pretty sure suppressing the vote of California Republicans isn't the democracy-saving as you imagine.
I'm pretty sure suppressing the democratic vote in Texas is the democracy-killing I think it is.
Yepp, it is. Just as much as the California one. That is the point I was making. So what is _your_ point?
What's good for the goose...
... but it isn't good for the gander. That's the problem. Don't get me wrong, I understand it, why and the intention to stop doing it. But in reality it is a plain power grab, let's call it that and not democracy-saving bullshit.
Actually, it's a response to a power grab.
_Acthually_, and? These two statements, yours and mine aren't opposites, they can and are true at the same time. California's move is a power grab response to another power grab. So again, what is _your_ point?
Texas is a power grab, and California is a temporary leveling of the playing field.
What is your point? Authoritarianism is not worth opposing?
You should already know my point, I already wrote way before you came here to post absolutely unnecessarily.
A major of Californians still have to vote on it. It’s only triggered in response to Texas making theirs official - they could not do it and this wouldn’t move forward, and it expires and goes back to normal with the next normally scheduled redistricting. These things mattered to me.
This is the only reason I don't entirely oppose it. But I don't have the stomach to call it "democracy-saving" by any means.
Well that’s good to hear! I suppose the rest depends on whether or not you still consider us safely in one.
If an equal counter-move helps prevent a complete fascist takeover and the cancellation of future elections, and it allows a future elected government to reinstate democratic norms, what would you prefer to call it exactly? 🤔
Two fascist, subverting democracy moves aren't negate each other. It's doubly fascist. It's a power grab. Future governments don't tend to "reinstate" jack shit, Democrats rarely move back to the left after Fascist moves. I understand, why Dems think it's necessary, but call it as it is.
When they go low, we no longer have the luxury of masturbatory discussions on semantics, and going high. This is now an emergency. They go low? You go lower, and cut them off at the ankles. Fascists do not abide by the Queensberry rules. You need to counter them using similar tactics.
I absolutely agree with you. I do not like (nor trust) Newsom; however, if what he is doing with the Maps can convince other Blue states to do the same, swing the midterms, and buy us time to get rid of our Clear and Present Danger, have at it. We can deal with his major shortcomings later.
I'm just trying to shed light. People need to be aware that he is also a pos. Just not the pos.
I'll never forgive Trump for making me back Newsom... but here we are
Aye, the idea that one human has to be absolutely perfect in your view before you'd vote for them is absurd. The greater good prevails.
Also, nobody is perfect - all of us have flaws, including politicians. When you see people voting for someone they believe is absolutely perfect, you are usually looking at deluded members of a cult.
Aye. Never put another human on a pedestal. We're all as fallible as each other. And some of us are terrible humans.
Arnold is hoping Ruzzia will invade Austria. Bringing fascism home
The hypocritenator?
No, he spoke out against it in Texas too. Said it's evil.
Thanks for the correction.👍
Come on Arnold. Tell us.
He's probably got his hands full with the housekeeper
Mr. Takei, you should ask him directly. He is like minded.
He's away at the moment, but he'll be back.
But he has never played Bach.
That's follow material is what that is.
Aaaaahhhhhnold dug deep into his Austrian roots and suckled up to the wannabe dictator
I'm not a big fan of his but he has spoken out against the Texas gerrymandering and has been again gerrymandering altogether no matter which side is doing it. abcnews.go.com/Politics/arn...
According to his spokesperson Arnold intends to fight gerrymandering in California but not in Texas and states it’s “not personal” lol.
If each state elected reps based on a popular vote there could be no manipulation via the likes of “gerrymandering”. The problem is facilitated by districting.
No, he's a loudmouth piece of crap that I have his mouth shut for him permanently. And he wasn't a very good governor
Da Governator
Actually, he kinda did. He doesn't like it from either party.
I mean what is he monitoring, it passed?
This story is from Aug 7th.
I guess to see if they were really going to do it. They did.
So I wonder what he’s going to do about it now, or just go ahead and fight CA anyway?
I think that's his plan, although, it's already passed in the CA assembly. I don't know what his standing would be in a court fight.
This isn’t going to the courts. It’s going to a ballot in November! Republicans have already pledged a $100 million campaign to vote against redistricting in California. Racist Texas did it without input from voters. Pay attention!
You mean like Susan Collins saying she's "concerned"?
He’s a worthless fascist like every other member of the GOP who will not speak out. Felon 45 is violating the Constitution daily. Those like Arnold will refuse to call fascism what it is until we’re all in chains. You can’t fucking allow a party to burn down the Republic and then cry about rules!
Sure, in a functioning democracy gerrymandering by either party is indefensible. In a functioning democracy.
He really needs to sit this one out, yeah?
The hasbeen has no principles that I been aware of. Ask his ex…..
He is undercover maga. So dont expect anything less.
Article in New York Times. August 15 2025 edition... Arnold wants to terminate the gerrymander. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/15/u...
Fuck him Recently he was asked in an interview how he feels about way immigrants are being treated, as he himself is an immigrant...never answered (as if he doesn't know what's happening), just ranting & raving how proud of himself he is...that immigrants can....become anything.out of touch magat
Like all republicans he cannot be trusted. Liz Cheney, Adam Kinsinger, Joe Walsh, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, take your pick. They will all turn and sell you out. They are not to be trusted. Ever.
I have not seen him specifically mention Texas but he has said both sides are wrong to do it.
www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Yikes, look what I got yesterday in the mail (Aug 21); a slick 4 page mailer opposed to Calif redistributing. It is backed by Charles T. Munger Jr., a former Chair of the Calif Republican party, & son of a billionaire. #HotOffThePress #ProtectFascism 😬
Nah hes ok with it.
Arnold is still an Austrian fascist like his dad and like fascists loves the thrill of control. So no statement.
This tracks. "My relationship to power and authority is that I'm all for it. People need somebody to watch over them." -Arnold Schwarzenegger
Thanks. I always knew he was an AH but this cements it with proof. I don't need a daddy.
Republicans are fascist to the bone.
Arnold's too busy boffing the maid again.
He came out and said he wasn't a fan of gerrymandering, but given the hand the US has been dealt by The Chief Goon of the US & HotWheels Abbott, he's in favor of it for the short term (2026-2030).
He’s working on a movie about it: Conan the Cartographer. Crush your districts See them driven before you Listen to the lamentations of their voters.
Love it
Schwarzenegger is known as the vacuum cleaner that sucks away votes from Democrats, just know that FACT.!! #Schwarzenegger.
The nazi that cheated on his wife with the maid? Another republican sexual predator, who fucked their maid, impregnated her, kept them in his family’s home. Piece of shit His dumb ass destroyed CA economy. Now we are the 4th largest in the world I’m sure he appeals to the party of #Trumpstein
He's a 'publican, though isn't he? And not the nice sort that will serve you a fine, tasty ale to slake your thirst.
He went on a rant on the view, the women had to redirect him on, chastising the immigrants that they need to work hard.....when he works in the field or construction in a 100° weather for a solid week - then I might consider what he's saying.
Arnold you are literally proving the point why he loves the poorly uneducated. You going after Gavin for the exact same thing as those Reptiles in Texas is doing and they're the ones who started this first in the first place and you didn't say a word about it.
Yes he’s been very outspoken about everything from day on. Even before election
Dissapointed since he seemed to care about animals the environment and queer people😢
Fuck that moron. Never could stand the arrogant bastard.
Schwarzenegger is going after California and Newsome. That's all I've heard out of the old Austrian Nazi. He was the governor that left us so far in debt under him cuz he was running up a bill while he was fucking his maid. Trust a man that screws around on his own wife and family and you are a fool
When he ran he said he'd "open the books and cut out the fat." OH WAIT, that's REPUBLICAN FAT. Never mind.
When it suits him, he embraces fascism. Also, when it suits him, he says his family was victimized by the Nazis. Bottom line, he wants to be the next governor of California. And if CA leans more Dem, it won’t be to Schwarzenegger’s advantage. He’s out for number one, now and always.
arnold was conceived in one of joseph Mengele's test tubes
Good question! Arnold’s always been vocal about fair representation, so it’d be interesting to hear his take on this latest Texas gerrymander. If he hasn’t spoken yet, maybe it’s time he did!
He's so faKKKe.
No just California doing so.
Only speaking out about Newsom/California, not Texas. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
😂 And I liked old “we’ll be back” too bad he needs to feel in control of other people’s lives. That’s the difference between fly be free and hurt no one Dems and let me control your every move and hurt you if I don’t like it Republicans. He wants structure but some people don’t roll like that.
Not a word.
Thank you, George, for calling out Republican double-standard hypocrisy on the part of a Republican who we've gotten used to thinking of (wrongly?) as less partisan than most.
Great graphic
thanks. you are welcome to swipe it.
Thank you! I will and share it widely.
Gerrymandering is wrong and needs to be abolished but until it is …. Carry on Gavin carry on
We abolished it here in California, actually Arnold is the one who signed it. But it doesn't work to abolish it in blue states and not in red ones, so this is where we are. (out there knocking on doors explaining the proposition to voters, that's where we are.) Written brilliantly as temporary.
Nope. Fuck him.
He has NOT.
Don’t hold your breath! He’s either messing around with his maid or whatever animal he has living in his house! IMO!
To be fair, I believe gerrymandering should be ILLEGAL across ALL States. But Republicans only believe in Power, so more Power to the Gavin Newsoms in this fight.
All repubs voted NO on a national rule of NO gerrymandering.
I heard he did but did not search and didn’t see anything further
www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...
Thank you 🙏
I'm hoping Arnold will come around on this as he has come around on so many other issues.
Arnold has been EXTREMELY critical of Trump
He is still a republican and so is pratt.
🙄 ‘Will this uneducated, washed up actor, who hasn’t stood up for democracy please come around to the fact that fascism is bad!’
You know not of what you speak. He has spoken out repeatedly against Trump and fascism. He has made several videos about his negative views on Trump and of course this:
Seems like if he'd say "outlaw political gerrymander" we'd really know what he's saying.
Sadly..he's afraid to rock the GOP

I don’t care how Arnold or anybody else feels about it. Whatever has to be done to rescue the country from the plague of Trump’s brand of republicanism absolutely must be done.
Good question! I have not seen it either since people asked about his own immigration status and the possibility of having ICE agents "contact" him.
He’s a Republican.
He lives in California, not in Texas!
Nope
Oh, you mean the GOP guy that cost California a lot of money to recall a “boring” governor so that he could be replaced by a movie star and used his wife’s name to insinuate his proximity to democrats and then cheated on his wife? Never had any respect for him.
It strikes me as odd, the people who are avoiding calling out Texas are also the same people that would likely say "I am against violence but if someone threatens me I won't hold back."

Thank you. We're a bit interested too.
Arnold is a Californian republican and won't speak out of his lane because the Felon47 will SWAT him! 😠
How trustworthy is he anyway? I don't listen to him.
Yes! Yes he has. Got a shirt that says “F*** THE POLITICIANS TERMINATE GERRYMANDERING.” Umm, oh!? He means Newsom… nevermind
I haven't either.
The kinder, gentler Terminator would definitely be behind Newsom's plan. The silver one would be wearing a MAGA hat today.
@schwarzenegger.bsky.social What's up with this?
It’s either abolish it totally or fight fire with fire. I don’t see it being abolished any time soon.
It’s a myth that independent commissions are fair. In 2010 Charles Munger Jr, a partisan Republican spent over 10 million dollars getting proposition 10 passed. California to establish one. The power tilted to Republicans who have little power here.

Nope. But he's girly girl myopic
He has, if poorly, and he seems more against the California retaliation than the Texas moves. The straight facts of the matter, from the outside looking in, is that if Republicans are open to the idea of blatant partisan cheating they have to accept that retaliation shall occur in kind.
"Open to the idea" - repubs have been doing it already.
Democrats have to accept it too...
You're not wrong. At least California is doing it within the context of giving the people some voice in the matter, which honestly is refreshing in current politics. Politics should be something people can be involved in, not just have happen to them.
No. 💩💩
Does anybody take him seriously?
One side can’t play by the rules while the other side cheats like hell.
Once a republican always a republican.
Yes, once a lying cheat, always a lying cheat.
Because he’s a republican!! He may not like tyrant tRumpy. But I guarantee he’s on board for the majority of the vile awful policies and cuts.
🦗🦗🦗🦗
He’s busy with Fubar! 🤣
Money Is Power 😞
Gray Davis would probably not be terribly moved by Arnold’s thoughts on clean politics.
The Nazi is in his blood after all 🤷🏻♂️
No, he was too busy fucking the maid.
Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger, deport him back to Austria.
Good point @georgetakei.bsky.social !
He has, George. Google "Schwarznegger on Texas redistricting", where he explains it.
