He should point out how incredibly asinine and stupid that was for TACO to say.

(20,629 posts)The Firesign Theatre had a nice official swearing-out ceremony for Richard Milhous Nixon (from aged hippie memory):
"Richard Nixon, you no good sonofabitch! Get the hell out of year! Fuck off!"
Instead we've gotten more of the same, NAZI-corrupted self-servers, decade after decade.

(2,925 posts)...to go after Trump with the same viciousness that he exhibits on a daily basis? Could anyone imagine if Newsom, AOC, Sanders, et al. called Trump "a Russian agent", "Putin ally", etc. on the nightly news?
The Trump regime is so exhausting; every day brings another atrocity, and we're only in the first year!

Trump hates Gavin Newsom. He hates his popularity, his looks, his vitality and the way he's skewered Trump on numerous occasions. Basically, he hates California, a state that voted overwhelmingly against Trump's BS.
Newsom refuses to be dominated. As Governor, he runs (as of 2024) the 4th largest economy in the world.
For Agent Orange that's the ultimate crime.

I mean I saw it mentioned on the news that Trump said this but again theres no pushback like this is the talk of a crazy person or wannabe dictator. We once again as a nation sanewash Trump
