Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence as he delivers his final State of the State address. “In Washington, the president believes that might makes right,” pronounces California governor Gavin Newsom. “Secret police, businesses raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight….” His tone is temperate, but the words echo through the State Capitol’s Assembly chamber, the august backdrop for his speech. “Lining the pockets of the rich; crony capitalism at an unimaginable scale,” he goes on. “Rolling back rights….

When you got Vogue magazine as your official pimp, you can do that.

Maya was wearing her knee pads when she wrote this story.
Perhaps it was dicktated by Gavin himself.

“Secret police, businesses raided, windows smashed, citizens detained, citizens shot, masked men snatching people in broad daylight….”

Newsomes weakness is that he thinks these are bad things. America is cheering mass deportations.

The Vogue skanks are “embarrassingly” retarded. They’re all in love with Pretty Boi Newscum.

Who Newsome or the magazine? I say both. Teen Vogue once had an article encouraging teens to have anal sex.

“He is embarrassingly handsome,”

Really? Take a good look at him - he is average looking, nothing special. Who wrote that? Oh - Vogue. That answers that.

Newsome is a narcissistic megalomaniac dork which is why he makes his own rules.

Yep. The loss of refining capacity was mentioned in an OpEd that the New York Times (of all people) just ran, titled Will Newsom Be the Democrats Next Mistake?
The NYT OpEd lists several issues:

That this appeared in the NEW YORK TIMES is really something...

We can't underestimate him.

The only reason he won't end up becoming President—the Democrats may prefer someone else in the primary, perhaps Wes Moore.
