Hey guys, let’s not bait each other into fights. Go after the argument, not the users. I know Newsom is controversial, but discuss what you don’t like about him.
Me: Calls the police one time.
Another day police come unannounced and destroy my house.
Me: Complains about it online.
Average Twitter commenter: “Is this you calling the police? Lololololoolol”
HE SET THE NATIONAL GUARD ON US DURING GEORGE FLLOYD PROTESTS. this attack against us turned it into a riot. I was there. He is so full of shit! I was hit by tear gas!!! For sitting peacefully next to my apartment building!!!
Yes.
Newsom is a piece of shit.
That doesnt make him wrong about what Trump is doing either.
Hey man, dont trick people like that.

Anyone clicking to figure out the below comment, newsom asked for more resources to combat issues at the border like drug trade and illegal crossings. Made no mention of deploying the fucking military to occupy LA
Apologies (to all), and thanks for pointing it out. FIXED.
That bottom reply tho lmao.
I watched the video, using the other comment’s xcancel link, and it is a vast mischaracterization of his statement to imply that he is being hypocritical because he asked for the National Guard in 2024.
In the video, Newsom said that the National Guard was down there, along with customs agents, and the border patrol. He said that the National Guard was helping particularly with fentanyl, and that everybody needs more resources to address border problems.
Even if you interpret it to mean that he was saying that the National Guard specifically needs more human resources, which is a somewhat fair interpretation, but not exactly what he said, then he still wasn’t being hypocritical, because in the previous post, he is talking about borders, and in the current post, he is talking about not sending troops to our cities.
TL;DR: Asking for National Guard to be sent to the nation’s border, and then raising the alarm when they’re sent to cities, instead, is not hypocritical.
State governors do have the authority to deploy the national guard within their own borders. Its pretty well agreed upon both internationally and domestically that its fine to send a military into a sovereign state upon request of the local government.
I dislike governor gavin, but requesting the guard when he did is within his authority as governor.
Anyone calling this hypocrisy doesn’t understand the concept of consent.
Yeah, I thought I’d cropped it, but decided to leave it be. What’s good for the goose, etc.
That wasn’t the punchline?
Unreal. Legit or not, we don’t stand a chance.
sigh … That was a completely different story from 2020. And besides, a governor requesting the National Guard is completely different from the president deploying the National Guard without the governor’s permission.
I can only assume that you have an agenda and are not interested in the truth if you’re going to make comments like that.

Hey, this is a warning to you. Settle down and stop trying to bait people into fights. It’s not what you’re saying, but how you’re saying it.
… but hey, you go on and help elevate another anti-homeless, “tough-on-crime”, immigrant-hating, pro-genocide mouthpiece-for-the-status-quo as somehow opposing the orange man if you insist. I’m not planning on sticking around long enough to say I told you so anyways.
I’m not defending Newsom. I am only interested in the truth. If you weren’t making misleading posts, throwing childish insults, and downvoting comments rather than simply commenting like an adult, then I wouldn’t have said anything.

I wrote “post” instead of “comment”, since a comment is a type of post. It’s a common way of referring to any content “posted” on the internet as a “post.” I’ll admit it was a very minor mistake, and I’ll try not to do that in the future.
Besides, I’m not going through the posting history of every user who acts like an asshole. But I’m glad that you seem to agree that it was misleading, or at least you’re not complaining about that. In that case, you certainly would know better than I, since I didn’t even look at it.
You called my recent posts misleading, when I lack any recent posts.
Now you’re putting words in my mouth, when comments are very specifically NOT standalone posts, but made in response to the posts and comments of others. Comments inherrit tone, energy, (il-)legitimacy and more from a broader context.
I AM an ass-hole, and love an obvious yarn, but your seperation from myself hinges on my distaste for how boring and in-sincere you’ve been from the start.
Providing an explanation for the bottom of the OP was no-where near as pointless or useless as responding to your non-sense. when I should have blocked you over a low-effort jab that would make the average “you’re just a Russian troll”/VoteBlueNoMatterWho -bot whince.
