Newsom 2028: He took on the wrong Governor. [View all]

I did not think that Krasnov would try an Armed Forces coup against the three most popular, most articulate Governors of Democratic States: Newsom in California, Pritzker in Illinois, or Whitmer in Michigan.

But here we are. Krasnov has launched the military against the most articulate Governor of Americas biggest, richest State,

He chose the wrong Governor, the wrong State, on an ultra Stupid occasion: Just in time for tanks for rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue.; Bradleys coming soon, to a neighborhood near you.
