Gavin Newsom Fumes as DHS Trolls Him with ‘No Kings’ Penis Photo

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) struggled to respond after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trolled him on Saturday with a photo of a demonstrator in a giant penis costume at a “No Kings” protest.

The demonstrator in question, apparently at a rally in Portland, Oregon, held a sign that read: “Deport Deez Nuts.”

“Breaking: Gavin Newsom has shown up to the riot!” the DHS account added as a caption to the photo.

“You’re an embarrassment,” was all the governor could manage in reply, after months of trying to imitate President Donald Trump’s troll game on social media, a decidedly weak response that won few reposts.

Newsom and his staff have relished the idea that they have somehow matched Trump’s troll game by shadow-boxing him in one-sided callouts for the benefit of Democrats, who have cheered the governor’s brashness.

Saturday’s DHS post put Newsom in an difficult position, as it confronted him with the vulgar and absurd nature of the “No Kings” protest, which was marked by aging “gran-tifa” activists, often in odd costumes.

Newsom often exercises untrammeled executive authority in California, in excess of the supposedly “kingly” behavior of President Donald Trump. For example, Newsom banned group prayer during the coronavirus pandemic — not just in public, but in private homes (later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court).

I know you don't like the organization this choir belongs to...

While technically true, the religious organization DOES do a lot of things 'right', it's just that Christianity is not one of them.

They do have a very excellent choir and do music quite well.

I like the sound of THIS from their songbook. It has a haunting melody and it just builds in intensity...

Praise to the Man!

Praise to the man who communed with Jehovah!
Jesus annointed that Prophet and Seer.
Blessed to open the last dispensation,
Kings shall extol him, and nations revere.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Praise to his mem'ry, he died as a martyr;
Honored and blest be his ever great name!
Long shall his blood, which was shed by assasins,
Plead unto heav'n while the earth lauds his fame.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Great is his glory and endless his priesthood.
Ever and ever the keys he will hold.
Faithful and true he will enter his kingdom,
Crowned in the midst of the prophets of old.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

Sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven;
Earth must atone for the blood of that man.
Wake up the world for the conflict of justice.
Millions shall know 'Brother Joseph' again.

Chorus
Hail to the Prophet, ascended to heaven!
Traitors and tyrants now fight him in vain.
Mingling with Gods, he can plan for his brethren;
Death cannot conquer the hero again.

I see what you mean -- I like the sound of that melody too (and the other version of the song you posted too). (I take it they are not monotheistic.)

(And now, from the sublime to the ridiculous...)

Someday, I would like to hear one of their famous choirs perform this classic old song, with all of them swaying, and clapping, and belting it out, (but, for some reason, I don't think they're ever going to do it.) 🙂

"Bony Moronie"

...Someday, I would like to hear one of their famous choirs perform this classic old song, with all of them swaying, and clapping, and belting it out...

Well, a happy 'someday' has arrived for you - but without the Tab & Apple choir.

A bit smaller group, but they do Belt, Clap, and Sway!
