We know baby boy can dish it out, but can he take it too? Never seems like it - ask PBS, Colbert, so many more - eff that phat farg!

That.

I laugh out loud reading them!

which I keep hearing that we "lack"....

I wish I knew more about his governing style. What's truly important to him, does he listen and react to his constituents? Does he explain his reasoning when (if) he goes against what's been a usual democratic position? I can't remember the circumstances from earlier this year or maybe during the last campaign season, but whatever it was it caused me concern, and I realized I know so little about him.

You are right, we need a leader... and I put him in the same category as Pete B. Both are young, dynamic, well-spoken, and highly intelligent. I wish we'd hear more from Pete, I love how he can even take it to Fox and hold his own and better... but he's lost his platform since t was put into office again.

but grateful for what he is doing now!

and I'm high

and even when I'm high, I'd still be ecstatic to see them fight back for a change.

It sucks that this is what republicons have brought us to, but they have. We should never give in to them. Ever.

Pills? Weed?

I'm about to drink something myself after I shut off my pc. No need to get testy.

schedule II controlled substance on a public forum

and weed. That works for me

"No" looked so anemic at 4 votes, so I clicked it up to 5.

Not cuz of anything, but MAGA ain't gonna listen to anything and 5 is a half way to a nice round 10. 5's a good number.

Catch you on the flipside my friend.

ON EDIT: Well shit now it's up to 8. Oh well.

But I think that Trump's actual posts in the style he does is worse since it's not self aware and I'm forced to hear about it and live through policies made from it.

With Newsom's posts I think it's silly, but I can ignore it. And I know I'm not the target audience for it so it's not particularly relevant what I think.

overdo it or it will lose its punch and he could start looking silly.

He's doing it to both the Orange Turd and his MAGrAts. The Orange Turd posts in capital letters so Newsom's trolling him the same way. As for MAGrAts, I have no problem considering they've been trolling Democrats while the Democrats have been playing "nice." The time for playing nice against the Orange Turd and his MAGrAts is over. It's time to give them a taste of their own medicine and see how they like it.

Q: What’s going on with those posts that are clearly trolling Trump?

Gov. Newsom: I’m following his example. If you've got issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

I regret that I have but one rec to give to your comment.

(as that been in an OP? the point is spot on)

If the media and magapubs haven't had a problem when Krasnov did it - why is it a faux pas when Newsom does it.

Ridiculous? Maybe.

Effective.? Yes. Shove it right up in the magapub electorate's face.

no doubt about it.

Turns their idiocy right back at them.

We need a whole lot more of it, ASAP.

Ask he about them allowing him to point back to TAC and his demented tweets.

He's doing it right, and needs to keep it up.

Others should join in. No more treating Krasnov like anything other than a deranged criminal grifter.

I live here and like my Representative Ted Lieu and want to keep him. On the other hand they (GOP) started it.

whines when the tables are turned on them, using Trump's own tactics.....
Snowflakes. They can dish it out but can't take it..

Plus it's amusing

fight back GDI....Faux news is apoplectic about it, love it.
Dems need to grow a spine, and nads and fight back like there's no tomorrow. Never going back to the Shummerfication of the party.

somebody is doing it.

The funny part is Gavin's tweets are pretty much truthful, and the truth will set us free.

Oooooh yeah!

Cat From Seattle

It's brilliant, and you have got to know that it's driving Trump insane.

BUT NOT MY FAVORITE GOVERNOR OF ALL TIMES!!

Both funny (and I need laughs right now) and a very strong way to fight back considering what triggers TSF.

in the process. LOVE IT!!!

Finally something else beside a strongly worded letter

"1500%". I caught that.

Gen X is sick of everyone's scheit.

but THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES

But Newsom isn't putting that out as his style, he's found a way to shine a spotlight on the idiotic style and stupidity that's been spewing from Krasnov for years.

It's way overdue for Dems to fight back in effective ways like this

Dems have long tried taking the high road but with these fascist fucks it leads NOWHERE

time to start really fighting back and one of the EASIEST targets is Trump's egotism and vanity; yes INDEED

All day long, keep it up!

fight fire with fire?

It certainly keeps the Governor on the radar of Democrats and potential supporters of his future endeavors.

I don't think trolling does much as far as actual resistance to the fascist agenda. Fortunately, he seems to know that and is taking other real-world steps fight Trump and his Nazis.

Dems can at the very least let the world know WE DON'T APPROVE OF THIS FUCKING BULLSHIT

and yeah, any "real-world" steps will be OUTSTANDING

Why?

It was really smart to do it via his press office & not his Gov account.

It's one of his most valuable and exploitable character flaws. The failure of Democrats to take full advantage of this clearly-obvious personality trait has contributed to us being where we are, today. So glad to see Newsom and others, taking the gloves off and doing something about it.

PEDOnald stroke out.

it's a Good Thing like I do! 💙

You Go Gov Newsom!

I want to see Cheeto go ballistic and unhinged. We know he has limited emotional intelligence!
Especially if one of his own kind is burned enough to troll. For now it’s Gov. Newsom.

I hope he goes after them if and when he takes office in 2029.

Mock the hell out of the Orange Stain.

proves they recognize that their dear leader is truly a self-absorbed lunatic.

And trolls both MAGA and the complacent Media.
It also puts the already targeted California in the spotlight.
We've taken a stance, and we aren't bootlickers putting up with backwards shit from the toddler in chief.
Which in terms of International Marketing where it counts is a pretty decent strategy.

And it's not like he's doing it himself, he's allowing his PR staff to do what they need to do to expose fascist idiots for what they are. Hold up the mirror, make them actually pay attention to the BS they're being fed by infantilizing grifters and con men who are taking advantage of them.

Authoritarian figures are bullies - they establish an image (usually as a tough guy) and try to make people afraid of them. Republicans by and large cave under this kind of bullying, because they are afraid their business, political standing, etc., will be destroyed if they don't.

The Democrats at this point frankly have nothing to lose by going the route of satirising Trump. Trump wants them cowed and compliant, but more to the point, he wants them to be the evil boogyman, the group that he can blame for everything. It's hard to do that if the Dems hold up a mirror to him, showing that everything he does is pathetic, weak, infantile, and ignorant. It's how you defeat malignant narcissists.

There are very few conservative comedians. Conservatives (especially MAGA) do not get humour - they see it only as a way to attack others, and most have surprisingly limited senses of humour. Democrats, especially progressives, are very good at being comedians, satirists, and speakers to power. Partially its because they are smarter on average, but partially as well because they enjoy word-play, double entendres, and not so gentle ripostes. They also enjoy debates, which for Republicans is hard to do because they see things usually in black and white terms, and also usually because they never see themselves as being wrong. This makes them very flustered when they have to debate someone capable of poking holes into almost any argument they make, especially because most of those arguments are usually very weak when actually examined.

So yes, I hope Newsom continues this.

Plus trump hates him as much as he hates Pres.Obama.

Hell yes

And that's great.

There have to be plenty of California artists who'd be happy to do artwork to troll the thug-in-chief.
