And the Boomers fuck it all up before it starts. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, old people. We're trying to fix the fucking mess you made.
Republicans in congress all voted against a ban on gerrymandering, fuck them, fuck that and the fucking horse the rode on
Fuck Arnold. He should know better. You stop Nazis any way you can and then you can reset norms and values. But if you don't stop them, norms and values die along with the people.
Need we remind everyone how Schwarzenegger tanked the CA economy. Jerry Brown had massive clean up/repair to do afterwards. "... In Schwarzenegger's 7 years as Gov of CA, the state's debt tripled ... from $34 billion in June 2003 to $91 billion on June 30, 2010 ..." ballotpedia.org/California%2...
🎯🎯🎯 Schwarzenegger’s election was in the works for 2 years before Davis’ recall which included secret meetings with Enron - which he conveniently couldn’t recall -, help from Bush/Cheney, helping energy companies keep the $9B they stole from CA citizens, and more ⤵️ www.utne.com/community/ar...
sons of bitches ...
Good reminder - republicans Always Always grow the debt ( while talking about shrinking the debt)
My fear is that voters have very short memories about these important details. Thank gawd for Jerry Brown (and his 2x terms to clean up Arnold's mess).
Yay!! Needs to happen in every state!
Republicans are going to fight for their fascist takeover everywhere they exist. We cannot be bothered by their words or gripes. We must remain focused in defeating these traitors while some semblance of a system still exists to do so.
Arnold should start in Texas.
Team work makes the dream work
Schwarzenegger is a Do Nothing Has Been! America doesn't need anymore incompetent Actors interfering in Government!.. GAVIN knows what he's doing!.. Sooo, STFU, Arnold!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a disgrace…..not willing to help save democracy from this GOP. Support Governor Newsome!
Weak stuff from Arnold. He proposes the people just let Trump do what he wants? Arnold would have made a terrible president so it's good our Constitution protected us from him, at the very least.
I can tell you that Arnold sure was a shitty governor
Arnold is wrong. A level playing field is essential. All legal methods MUST be employed, ow we surrender our country to the criminal gang currently in power & democracy is lost forever. 👉Once D’s take power, EC s/be abolished, rendering gerrymandering moot. @governor.ca.gov @schumer.senate.gov
Arnold is another shameless republican shit
Mmmn that's disappointing. I thought Arnold was smarter than this.
Arnold Schwarzenegger "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought mmmeeeaaaaaybe sometime after we let the voters help us redraw districts… because I made a promise."
CA Congress 52 Gop 9 17.3 % Dems 43 83% CA 98th congress 83-'85 GOP 19/45 seats. Texas Congress 38 GOP 26/38 68.42% Dems 12/38 31.5% TX 98th congress '83-'85 GOP was 6 out of 27 Dems have about 40% registration in CA.
Let's ask Ken Lay what type of politician Arnold was while in office. Completely beholden to Enron - who got off easy because of it. He furloughed workers & illegally refused to pay for the consequences which cost CA $$$$$$ once this fool was out of office. He is a non fascist version of Trump
Arnold Schwarzenegger can F off! The fake Terminator doesn’t know how to fight fire with fire! What a dumb a**! #redistricting #gerrymandering #fairmaps #democracy #votingrights #california #msnbc #cnn #Newsom2028 #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #Arse
Arnold, of course, has come out loudly and firmly against Abbott and Texas, and made public statements demanding they stop their anti-democracy redistricting too, right? Right? I’m sure he has.
Fuck Schwartzenegger.
Arnold needs to stay in the gym.
Holy Shit, Politico. What happened to you?
So he doesn't want to stop Trump or Abbott? Wrong move, Schwarz.
Schwarzenegger needs to call out the *actual* cause of the problem, or stfu
There’s a shadow over your shoulder Schwarzenegger. It’s called your future.
Gag.... Not an Arnold fan.
Given that the action CA is proposing will ONLY go into effect if TX does it first, i mean, yes, eliminate gerrymandering. But if some folks are going to do it, others can counter by doing it, too.
Hypocrite doesn't care when Republicans do it. Or even support a national ban on gerrymandering
Shame on you Arnold.
Ahhhnode the Naturalized is a trumphumper. Go figure 🙄
Maybe Arnold should get off his ass and fight his party’s turn to fascism, they initiated this nonsense.
I’m disappointed in Arnold. I’m glad Netflix canceled his show.
Really?
Sit back down on the bench, grandpa! You'll strain your quads
So Ahlald would rather have a dictator, a failing economy, a police state and isolation rather than admit he is wrong. Pride will get you a one way ticket to the hot zone.
Oh no, not all 4 prominent California Republicans?
have him run as pediphle supporter
Dear Arnold, Republicans are protecting pedophiles, committing human rights atrocities, trashing/ violating our Constitution, bowing before a wannabe dictator, are you sure you're still a republican?
Arnold knows exactly what his party - Republican - stands for which is why he didn’t spend the last 15 years working from within to get them to stop gerrymandering. His attacks on Trump are a convenient low hanging fruit to distract from the fact that he 100% supports the GOP party platform.
Republicans should check Moscow for jobs
Maybe he is in the Epstein files too? 🤷🏼♀️ At this rate, anyone going hard to help Trump cover up the child sex trafficking ring, really makes me wonder how many kids they raped. And now the FBI has blackmail on them all. And since the FBI isn't a serious entity anymore, they are all scared of leaks.
Ironic that he made a video about Republicans gerrymandering years ago but somehow doesn't understand the need for democrats to do it in response. Just Republicans are allowed i guess
So is he going to terminate gerrymandering in Texas? Or just the places where it helps democrats? Asking for a country.
Another washed up hack trying to find meaning in his life
Newsom is so praised right now not because he redistricted Cali. He has done no such thing, as it's not in his power. He let the people choose in Nov. Old farts and billionaires (like your owner and handler, Politico) can jump up and down as much as they like, but in the end it's people's choice.
Instead of fighting Newsom he should be going after Abbot and Trump. This is going to work out for Arnold.
Sit ur butt back down
Sit this one out Arnold
That’s because they haven’t cottoned on to the fact that this isn’t a contest between D and R, it’s a contest between autocracy and democracy.
Soo hypocritical. The GOP voted against ending Gerrymandering and now they want to fight gerrymandering.
Then, send Arnold to Texas.
Hey Arnold, did Sly put you up to this? Now you’re both fucking losers and you just lost a bunch of fans that would Any more of your stupid shit. You’re in the same sinking boat as Kid Rock and Roseanne Barr. You dumb fuck
#fuckarnoldschwarzenegger Another adulter republican trying to have morals
https://youtu.be/ncUYKk_CuTM?si=PoKjKuMGUmHNDSAe
Yes, terminate gerrymandering. But when someone pulls a gun on you, that is not the time to preach gun control. And Texas has pulled out its gerrymandering gun.
Please, Arnold, if you are listening. Stop this fight in CA and take it to DC where the Dems are trying to get a bill passed to stop this madness. Otherwise, shut up about our efforts to counter attack this assault on our Democracy.
Don't be fascist Arnold. If you really want to end gerrymandering, you are needed in Texas, go help you fellow republicans. As soon as they abandon their 5 seat grab the problem is solved, for now.
He wants CA not to gerrymander in retaliation of TX gerrymandering, but no comment on TX gerrymandering in the first place. Truly a perfect Republican. Someone get this man another tax break!
Only you, Politico, who loves to help push Trump and his Nazi propaganda would share this. Guess what? Arnold's dad was a Nazi. So if he is siding with the American Pedophile Nazi,Donald Trump,then it doesn't surprise me one bit. Bigots like you and those "men" should die off. Nobody wants you here.
Arnold has just added himself to the American traitors contingent.
Good to know Arnold backs a PEDO ...
ARNOLD you're a destroyed man with old problems. It wasn't bad enough you fathered a child with THE MAID now you think you're on par with the Xriminal in Chief. You're just as immoral as the Turd. Go lift a dumbell dumbell.
Can Arnold just self deport already?
Poor Arnold! So desperate to keep up with his rival Stallone, he’s now suddenly willing to suck Trump’s weenis to get that coveted Kennedy Center Honor.
Where tf was he when the Republicans started their very successful gerrymandering efforts in 2011? Why didn’t he get up even for the recent and ongoing Texas takeover?
Arnold needs to sit the fuck down. Democrats aren’t doing this for fun.. Republicans are rigging the system so they can stay the majority in the House of Representatives. If Dems don’t gerrymander California, they almost certainly will remain the minority. It is justified.
Deport Arnold.
🤮
Sit down, Arnold. Or head to Texas. That’s who started this.
So all his "nazi" this and "anti-Trump" that was bluster, and he's selling his constituents down the river. Good to know. Fuck you, Arnie.
Arnold on the Epstein client list?
Arnold talks with regret and sadness about his father's experience and here he is working to enable the GOP version of the Enabling Act.
So gerrymandering is okay if there is an R by your name.
Wake the hell up Arnold.
😂 he's a republican ... he wants to stop Newsom but not Abbott or Trump?
He only supported the California plan back then because it hindered Democrats.
Of course not. Another insane old man ruining the world because he's a narcissist who understands nothing.
All you need to know about them... their loyalty to Trump.
Fuck off, Ahhnold
You can’t have some states gerrymandering and other states not. That would not be a fair election.
Republicans voted against ending Gerrymandering. They want it if they alone can do it. They don’t want the Dems to do it because there are more registered Democrats than Republicans.
Not surprised. Republicans want to hold on to power by any means necessary. Regardless of the consequences to our country. And our lives.
Fuck off Arnie! Go find a maid to screw.
I guess Arnold can stomach the stench of Trump and the GOP once again cheating through gerrymandering, but not the honest efforts of Gavin Newsom to get them to stop cheating. One more sign of a party rotten to the core!
sounds right.... more television and film actors..... is this a government or a soap opera????
He’s against gerrymandering as a principle. Me too. But this is damage control. If Texas doesn’t gerrymander; California doesn’t gerrymander. Sorry Arnold, you’re talking to the wrong Governor. #AbortAbbott
And the thing is, Texas is *already* gerrymandered in Republicans favor. Where has Arnold been for the past couple of decades? He only cares when it benefits Democrats.
Arnold isn’t a Democrat. But that’s what I’m saying. Arnold has actually led anti-gerrymandering campaigns in states outside of California in the last. He should shut up about Newsom and go protest Abbott
Californians of all stripes need to band together behind Newsom for this and take one for the team. When (if) we make it through this, we can institute independent redirecting, but we NEED to respond and counterbalance the scale.
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER SUPPORTS ANTI-IMMIGRANT FASCISTS! TOTAL IRONY—HIS FATHER WAS A NAZI!! NOW ARNOLD TAKES THE SAME SIDE. VERY WEAK. VERY SAD!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger totally EXPOSED! He fights against fair redistricting in California—why? He must really love ICE cold politics, letting PEDOPHILES run wild in government, ripping away women’s healthcare, and even KILLING babies by blocking life-saving vaccines. Very sad! Weak Arnold!!
Wrong call, Arnie!
Arnold is and was always a NAZI so it’s not surprising
More to the point: Arnold has never been the sharpest tool in the box.
Then Arnold should be talking to Texas, they could have stopped this.
Arnold needs to go sit in the corner with RFK jr and STFU
We say stay out our politics Arnold . You already fucked us over once
What Newsom is proposing would be outrageous in any circumstances other than those currently existing.
It expires at next census.
That justifies it even further then.
Newsom at least has the fig leaf of having CA vote on overuling the old fair district law, we can undo it whenever we want. Theoretically.
The current circumstances are the only reason he's doing this, desperate measures.
Newsom said it well - we cannot unilaterally disarm.
Elder is a California Republican. Maybe Politico believes all California Republicans are good and decent. www.politico.com/states/calif...
About Schwarzenegger. 2011: "The Governator" ... ends his term with a near-record low approval of just 23 percent ..." www.npr.org/2011/01/03/1... bsky.app/profile/jonc...
Former steroid abuser and failed Republican governor of California wants to help a Republican pedophile (Trump). Politico's owner is on the side of the pedo, Trump.
Another pro-Trump steroid abuser recently died (the scum human Hulk Hogan). Arnold Schwarzenegger is pro-pedo. Every Republican opposing Newsom is pro-pedo. Texas Republicans want to rig maps to help a pedo, Trump. I am happy that I haven't anything that Schwarzenegger has been in recently.
The former Nazi and steroid abuser who fucked his maid while he was married to another women. The maid was from south of the border. Schwarzenegger is on the side of the guy who demonizes immigrants (the mother of Schwarzenegger's child). Any person who wants to help Trump is pro-pedo.
Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's the same guy. Cheating on his wife right under her nose, in the marital home, with the maid/nanny, getting her pregnant and secretly paying her to keep quiet. He's a disgusting pig. He's probably on the epstein list.
He's always been a fascist barely covered by a paper-thin wrapping of one liners.
Ahnuld was one of California's worst governors
We have allowed our situation to become this desperate. Playing fair is no longer an option. Our democracy, republic for you pedantics, is beyond return, but is not beyond critical correction. If we want to stave off authoritarianism desperate measures are now necessary.
All the worst people are fighting
He needs to talk to his peeps first. This is a response to a threat.
🙄
Schwarzenegger’s stance has always been against gerrymandering everywhere, not just in California. His rhetoric has always been nonpartisan — calling gerrymandering “politicians choosing their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians,” regardless of which party benefits.
Badly written piece......very misleading
This would have seemed more principled if he’d said it a few weeks ago when Texas lawmakers had to flee the state to prevent the gerrymandering he’s so worried about now
He literally has nothing else to do. Conan The Treasonous Bastard
Spare us all the pearl clutching until there's national legislation on how districts are drawn, please.
🐻 THE BEAR FLAG ABOVE ALL OTHERS!! 🌹 Secession or STFU!!
Arnold either needs to quit kissing Trump’s ring and go to Texas to tell Abbott to abandon that partisan redistricting plot, or he ought to stay retired and keep quiet.
Arnold start in Texas
F Schwarzeneggar. Adultering man, no trust…
Starting in "his state" makes sense, unless you've graduated elementary school. Then you might consider where the problem actually started, by whom, & for what purpose, then work to stop it there. Ignore those facts & their impact on our nation, then you're either incompetent, a fool, or corrupt.
If your ding ding has a mind of its own and you seem to not be able to control it? Why would the body attach to the out of control ding ding do anything different? 🤔 Just walking ding dings all around doing what out of control ding dings do? F*** everything insight without remorse or empathy! ✨️

Arnold! I am ashamed for you! This is your moment to save the GOP from themselves; to stand for democracy. I was a republican. Now, I am a progressive. We must think anew, Arnold. We must use all tools available in the fight. Join us! From 2020: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAWv...
It’s because of the Republican losers including geriatrics like Arnold that we’ve been blessed with the current Trump/MAGA crap. Their time has long passed. Newsom and the California voters can do a lot better than those GOP clowns in Texas.
Arnold is Trump’s follower.
Get back on the bench Arnold. Pick a worthier battle as suggested above.
Sit down Arnold. We don’t want your input.
Arnold is a trump kissing asshole. Didn’t his family flee their home country to avoid men like trump?
Arnold has issues with respect for women so I can't support him in any way. If he is fighting on the side of keeping the current regime in full power, he has dug a deeper hole.
Not a good look for the Schwarzenegger 😬
Fkkk schwartznegger. He wants the republican fascists to rule the country. He hates democracy as much as trump and his stooges do. We must stand up and do what we can to protect our republic from a corrupt authoritarian regime.
Does anyone at Politico know chess? Greg Abbott's TX redistricting effort is a gambit. Newsom will accept the gambit, but it is still the Texas gambit. Whatever, Arnold.
