- Be scheduled to attend a worldwide climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
- You're the governor of a US state, the leader of most significant US state when it comes to environmental legislation because of the way that environmental laws have been crafted in the US over the years.
- In a worldwide climate conference filled with VIPs in Glasgow (a city that doesn't have the largest capacity to accommodate VIPs to the level in which they're normally otherwise accustomed), you are probably in the top 10 of any VIPs from the US, which obviously holds a prominent position in the VIP accommodation and seating charts.
- You no show without a public announcement as to why... for over a week.
- Your First draft of excuses says "family obligations", which can mean anything.
- Wife emotionally tweets, then quickly deletes "F all you haters" message.
- Your Second draft of excuses mentions small children and Trick or treating.
- Your Third draft of excuses claim that you've been at work all along at the state house.
- Photos appear of you attending a guilded-age wedding of an oil baron's heiress to Edward Longshanks gentle son at a private event held on public grounds which could not have taken place without your foreknowledge months ahead of time and possibly your direct involvement to approve the usage of the site.
- Finally appear at a public event after two weeks and you mock everyone who wanted to know what you've been up to all along.
I don't know if he had a reaction to the covid booster or not, but I have a great deal of confidence that he feels pretty untouchable right now when it comes to answering to the public and the only thing that matters to him is that he and his brand stay untouchable. I'm pretty sure that when someone mentioned to him that he had to choose between a climate conference that gains him nothing and a Getty family wedding that cost more to stage than most families earn in a lifetime and is hosted by the family that's been underwriting his political career, he chose appropriately, but it doesn't mean he shouldn't get the internet blowback from it either.
I wonder if anyone can pull a hot take out of AOC about the Getty wedding. In her opinion, they shouldn't exist, much less have weddings officiated by her boss.
Yes.
Let us now hope that whomever appears soon purporting to be “Gavin Newsom”, at least does not defecate their pants or pass gas continuously in public.
