Meet the real president of the United States.
His name is Gavin Christopher Newsom. He is chief executive of America’s richest and most populous state.
And in this peculiar moment, that makes him the real president, by default.
Sure, there’s a guy living in the White House who some people call president. But real presidents swear an oath to execute the laws and to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. Donald Trump violates the laws and the Constitution constantly, thus abandoning the post to which he has elected.
In response, Newsom has effectively assumed the presidency, though the public doesn’t yet understand this. One common complaint is that Newsom is distracted by issues beyond California. Another dig is that he is pursuing future presidential ambitions.
But those gripes miss what’s really going on. Newsom isn’t running for president; he’s acting like the president, not a governor, because the country needs someone to act like a president.
…
Newsom’s controversial new podcast, with its pluralistic mission — “tackling tough questions, engaging with people who don’t always agree with me, debating without demeaning” — is of a piece with his defend-the-system presidency.
Members of his own party have rightfully criticized Newsom for failing to challenge the far-right figures who appear as guests. (Newsom’s surrender to anti-trans ideology was ugly). But the gambit makes sense if you’re a president seeking consensus in a polarized country. On the podcast, he isn’t really interviewing anyone — he is presiding, since even MAGA strategists like Steve Bannon are the real president’s constituents, too.
I don’t think we have any Gruesome Newsom emojis. Maybe we can do something with this?

But
No but, motherfucker.

Yes, he’s uniting the left and right in that they both see him as a spineless opportunist.
“Both sides agree I’ve shit my pants, so I must be doing something right.”
Donald Trump violates the laws and the Constitution constantly, thus abandoning the post to which he has elected.
Nope, he is still the President, if he weren’t, the tariffs would have no effect, Customs obeys him, all the Government departments obey him.

Like when Kamala called for the most lethal army in the world and won?

who commands the army?
that guy is in charge
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
If Newsom wants to be taken seriously as the AntiPresident he needs to take control of any nuclear weapons in California and seize Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona as a buffer and springboard for further eastward advances
A24 presents: Civil War
If that’s true, then
Balkanize alreadyi haven’t met a single person on the entire political spectrum who thinks his podcast doesn’t suck balls
the libs in my life are taking vows to never vote for him
2016 proved that the solution to 100% Hitler isn’t 100% Hitler.
2020 proved that the solution to 100% Hitler is 99% Hitler
2024 proved that the solution to 100% Hitler isn’t 99% Hitler
2028 is the year democrats prove that the solution to 100% Hitler must be 100% Hitler.
You are underestimating the Democratic Party. The obvious solution to the republicans 100% Hitler is a new democratic 110% Hitler.
Is this accounting for Hitler particle inflation? So many new Hitler particles have been generated lately that existing ones are starting to get devalued.
They’ve tried nothing and they’re out of ideas
Pure unadulterated copium
Liberals are producing weapons-grade copium in broad daylight. This cant be legal
Liberals are out there manifesting an alternate reality with the power of imagination.
Triangulating on making gruesome newsome the next president candidate for the libs in their next spectacular attempt at running off-shade Republicans as democrats then going
when they eat shit before going 
“ITS YOUR FAULT THE GENOCIDAL REPUBLICANS ARE WINNING YOU DAMN COMMIE”You know what? I like this. It’s more comedy for future historians.
This level of disconnect with reality is terrifying.
the constitution got thrown out 24 years ago with the Patriot Act. im not that old but these dipshits so know nothing make me feel older.
