There's only one problem with this plan . . . there are 9 GOP seats in California. . . why only go for 5 ? Take back all 9 . . . no rest for the wicked !!!
I'm in AZ, and I am also tired of blue states being forced to bail out deep red states who support fascists. Go blue! And seriously, all other true blue states, go for it. I wish our government hadn't been turned into a playground spat, but here were are. Illinois (you KNOW JB Pritzker is eager to play), Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey - get on the stick and take the game back from him.
I do understand the feeling here. Just please remember that red states are gerrymandered to hell and back, and there's lots of blue dots all over those states who never get representation because their districts have been jury-rigged against them. If they were redrawn to be actually fair, these states would be purple. Or at least red-violet. So while that other contingent is loud and horrible, please know the silenced blue dots appreciate everything.
Good point, especially since Texas is threatening to add not 5...not 6 or 7...but 8 whopping gop seats. I say every blue state should follow California's lead.
Not going to happen. Texas Dems have got this. Repugs here are doing themselves a whole lot of reputation damage. Dirty tricks and trying to cheat leave a real bad taste in our mouths here. Cheaters are akin to being a horse thief, which is as low as you can go. The criminal AG is going after the always popular Beto O'Rourke and John Cornyn is trying to out conservative the criminal. It is an embarrassing hot mess, for sure.
I'll bet it's a hot mess, especially since you have such wonderful cities and creative communities, like Austin and Houston...all of which, unless I am mistaken, have substantial populations of more progressive and open folk. I have heard that Abbott et al would like nothing better than to eliminate all traces of that vibrant spirit. And that must NOT happen. Buddy Holly would be heartbroken...and royally pissed.
Well, ya know, we blue staters have state senators and congressional reps. whom we can call and petition and such, along with our federal congressional folk. Maybe, with a little effort, we can encourage said stiffening.
Allow me to nominate my useless 3-term R congressman in CA-23, Jay Obernolte. Last time I checked, Jay is the 4th wealthiest Republican in the House. Let’s send him back to his “previous” entrepreneurial job (in AI and video games production) … or at least break up his large district into two or three smaller ones, so the 40% of us voting Dem in CA-23 finally get representation.
He needs to spell more words wrong and say very dumb things to be a true mimic. Nicely done though even though he sounded highly intelligent in sharp contrast to the Orange Moron (low IQ, fat).
Hi, God & Co. This was wonderful. Thanks! It is a joy to see folk like Newsom so gleefully giving the Great Orange Empty Nutsack the Flying Fickle Finger of FuckYou. Ah, good times, eh?.
THIS is what we need from our leaders: leadership. 👏👏👏👏 Stand up to the orange asshat and counter him with effective actions. No more deer staring at the headlights of doom; counter his sorry ass with action!
Darrell Issa is a real POS. Back 20 years ago he was trying his best to get rid of the USPS. He was term limited, but unfortunately has returned. Newsome should get a reward for those post and having the guts to do this. Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen! Ramen!
I occasionally have an issue with my dear Governor, but dammit, he's got a great sense of humor and some big balls, and I love that about him! This stuff is GREAT!! Love ya, Gavin!! Thank you!

I agree! Turn CA into a True Blue Wall! And get the other blue states to go along too. I’m tired of my tax dollars from CA funding the fascists!

Massachusetts here. I’m tired of funding fascists too. Fortunately we are already blue. But I enjoy your governor’s fighting spirit!
FIGHT FUNDING FASCISTS would make a good campaign slogan, I suggest from Occupied D.C.

Oh, and one more thing. I live in Oregon and I suspect that we, and perhaps Washington State may join Ca.
Yes! Let’s be proactive. No more standing on the sidelines!
Excellent! Thanks in advance! :D

Agreed. I think the blue states should stiffen their collective backbones and follow Newspm’s lead.
Well, ya know, we blue staters have state senators and congressional reps. whom we can call and petition and such, along with our federal congressional folk. Maybe, with a little effort, we can encourage said stiffening.
I understand other Dem states have plans to follow suit. Game ON.
Lol, Sandra! 🤩👍🏼 YES, sister.

I, too, am staring down the nostrils of a gerrymandering beast, but at least this beast is Blue; just looks funny. ;-)
I ♥️ my CA Governor Newsom!!!
Me too!
He needs to spell more words wrong and say very dumb things to be a true mimic. Nicely done though even though he sounded highly intelligent in sharp contrast to the Orange Moron (low IQ, fat).
This is delicious 😋
Thanks, God💗
WHOEVER IS "IN CHARGE" OF GOVERNOR NEWSOM'S SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS NEEDS A RAISE. IMMEDIATELY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
A+ trolling! Love it!
Hi, God & Co. This was wonderful. Thanks! It is a joy to see folk like Newsom so gleefully giving the Great Orange Empty Nutsack the Flying Fickle Finger of FuckYou. Ah, good times, eh?.
LOL, Samantha - the “Flying Fickle Finger of Fuck You!” 😂 That is hilarious. Mind if I borrow?
By all means, as long as you call me Sam or Samantha. ;) Spread it around in good health and make good trouble with it.
Oopsie! My bad. 😬 Fixed your name. Thanks, Sam!
Lol! I was going to ask, too! It's brilliant!
Love it 😄 Thank you God and the California team to make us laugh in those circumstances !
And most important: fire back.
THIS is what we need from our leaders: leadership. 👏👏👏👏 Stand up to the orange asshat and counter him with effective actions. No more deer staring at the headlights of doom; counter his sorry ass with action!
NACHO
Newsom
Always
Considers
His

Brilliant, Stacey!!! 👏🏼
This whole thing truly makes me Happy God. TACO is so wrapped up in his Russia-Ukraine thing he has NO time to address "other" stuff I guess.
It's probably because he can't read well enough to understand all of those correctly spelled words Newsom used! LOL!
Brilliant!

Thank You, Gov. Newsom. I have hope again. I say take all 9 GOP seats in Ca.
I occasionally have an issue with my dear Governor, but dammit, he's got a great sense of humor and some big balls, and I love that about him! This stuff is GREAT!! Love ya, Gavin!! Thank you!
