How does this work? One story I read said there will be 5 Republicans on the ballot, but no other Dems besides Newsom. So he’s guaranteed to be the top vote getter, right?

WOW! I remember when Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Galaxian, Ms. Pac Man, etc were the hottest video games. I was pretty good at them🙂. The Super Mario games evolved from Donkey Kong, along with his sidekick Luigi. They were depicted as Italian-ish, with thick mustaches and accents. I don’t recall the Italian Anti Defamation League complain about that

Won’t happen. The vote is rigged in California...and everywhere. 2020 proved that.

Besides, the republican will be Richardless the Bruce.

I was addicted to that in the early 80’s.

IMO, everything was so much better back then. Not just the music, cars, and television shows. Today’s video games are way overly complicated. It takes all the fun out of it. The sports games then were relatively simple yet loads of fun.

Recall backers submitted more than 1,495,709 verified voter signatures — equal to 12% of all ballots cast in the last gubernatorial election — meeting the minimum threshold to force a special recall election, according to a tally released by Secretary of State Shirley Weber. Barring intervention by the courts, Newsom will face a statewide vote of confidence by year’s end.

And you need to count and verify the more than 2.1 million signatures.

Not to mention, didn’t the game involve rescuing some Princess? Talk about patriarchy!

Yes. Princess Toadstool, who Mario had to rescue from Bowser, yes, he was named for the lead singer from Sha Na Na. In those games, Mario was helped by froglike characters, a foreboding of, gasp... the racist PEPE THE FROG??? OH, NO! SUPER MARIO BROS MUST BE CANCELLED!!

Settle down.. the recall petition only needed to reach 12% of the Cali voter totals. Recent polling has Newsom well-positioned to easily smack down any attempt to unseat him, so the recall drive, while successful in forcing the issue to a referendum, amounts to little more than a protest by an albeit loud, but still very small minority. While your enthusiasm is noted, getting connected with reality would be in order. Dems outnumber GOPers in Cali by 2.5 - 1. Whatever emerges at the top will either be Newsom or someone very similar.

Some report showed up on Chris Salcedo’s Newsmax-TV show claiming that Newsom was looking into scrambling a National Guard F-15 as a means of dispersing lockdown protests last year.

He can’t be gone soon enough.

California is a 1-party marxist state, so Newsom will just be replaced by another marxist.

Hard to believe that Mario will be 40 this year.

Must be a real struggle for him to climb up those latters these days.
