‘Patience is wearing thin.’ Year of misfortunes tests Gavin Newsom’s political standing
Sacramento Bee ^ | Aug 16 2020 | BY SOPHIA BOLLAG

Gov. Gavin Newsom ends most press conferences these days with a series of pleas that have become familiar during the pandemic: wear a mask, keep your distance, stay home if you can.

On Friday, he had to add a new one: turn off your lights.

That evening, demand for power outstripped capacity anyway. The state saw its first rolling blackouts since the 2001 energy crisis that helped cost then-Gov. Gray Davis his job in a recall election.

I feel for him. I’d recommend that Gavin stop in at a church for a few brief moments of reflection and prayer - except that he’s closed the churches.

And let’s not forget that Kamala Harris part of the San Francisco/California political power structure. If Trump and his people don’t handle the California mess on her, they’re committing campaign malpractice.

Socialism always ends the same way, food shortages, riots, and crumbling infrastructure built by the capitalists that came before them.

This adulterous bastard deserves no sympathy. He needs to be recalled and sent to his political hell.

What a fool. We should build a wall around California so we won’t be infected by their ideals when they flee the Golden State.

Kamala Harris : “I’m from San Francisco and I’m here to help”

Kamala Harris: “I can make the whole country live the California nightmare, er, dream”.

Kamala Harris: “ No I’m not Nancy Pelosi’s niece, but I think I’m in her will.”

Kamala Harris: “No I’m not Gavin’s cousin, we’re just good friends”

Would Kamala be barred from crossing into the other 49 states?

I continue to wonder what more does this guy have to do, and not do, to drive this state into the ground before leftists admit what a catastrophe he is.

Seriously. What has to happen? How bad does it have to get?

So now the festival of rolling blackouts is trumping covid, homelessness, and the other host of problems in California.
Earthquakes can’t be too far behind. Perhaps, Newsome should have not killed the high speed rail but modified it to run from LA and SF east out of California because that is where the demand is for people fleeing the insanity in LA and SF. Just make sure the train does not stop in my state Arizona. Don’t want them here. Point it north and drop them off in Bernie Sanders Vermont

A few more power plants would do a lot of good towards their power problems.

I don’t feel for him, I’m living under his incompetence and fascism, all he and the democraps care about is pander to the illegals lavishing them with free stuff all paid for by a smaller base of producers every year. He tries to blame all his woes on Covid refusing to accept any responsibility for the mismanagement of California by him and democrats for decades. California hasn’t had a Republican governor in over twenty years. And no that Kennedy wanna be aspenhole the goobernator does not count as a republican, not even as a RINO he put Moonbeams fascist enviro nazi back in office and continued the democraps progroms.

We are looking at a crowd of politicians trying to wrest every bit of money for their personal gain from the governmental structure. Either that or severe mental illness. It is quite obvious that they don’t manage the state well.

A lot of us are stuck here for now - we have family and who aren't ready to move to another state. We just cast our votes, fume as the Democrats win and keep destroying the state, and wait for the time to be right, hoping Newsome and other Democrat dolts don't manage to completely destroy the value of our homes while we wait.
