Classic reference. I approve, heartily.

He was always at one of his investment properties Balboa Cafe, hitting on every hottie in a skirt. The Fillmore Triangle was his habitat.

Nah. He should stay right where he's at. They voted for it so they should suffer for their vote. Just stay in CA and stop spreading that shit to TX and AZ.

Fillmore Triangle

Is that the same Fillmore district, as in where they have the Fillmore VFW?


Mayor: Callahan, I don't want anymore trouble like you had in the Fillmore district. Understand? That's my policy.

Harry Callahan: Yeah, well when an adult male chases a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.

Mayor: Intent? How did you establish that?

Harry Callahan: When a naked man chases a woman in alley with a butcher knife, and a hard-on, I take it he's not collecting for the Blue Cross.

Mayor: He may have a point....

I believe the required number of valid signatures will be gathered and he will be up for a recall vote. That much is very likely but the necessary follow-up question is who runs against him?

Democrats hold every state constitutional office and there's no reason to think Democrats won't vote to keep him in office. Support among Democrats is strong because the voters like Democrats for their caring and free shit.

Who runs against Newsom? The former mayor of San Diego might jump in but there's no one with pop. Recall that when Grey Davis was recalled the possible replacements were Cruz Bustamonte who had the panache of a discarded used matches book and Darrell Issa. Issa wasn't going to get it even with his money because he was a convicted felon for car theft which led to him developing the Viper alarm system.

Until Auh-nuld went on The Tonight Show and announced his candidacy, there wasn't anyone to unseat him, at least not likely and today's opponents don't have zip or zing.

There was a good candidate to run for governor until Arnold chimed in. He's in congress right now and he was a good conservative candidate running as an independent.

I signed the recall the other day.

So now Bruce Jenner wants to get into the act. From page 2 of today's Wall Street Journal:

quote:

Caitlyn Jenner Mulls Race For Governor

Caitlyn Jenner has been an Olympic hero, a reality TV personality and a transgender rights activist. Her next step could be candidate for California governor.

The 71-year-old Republican has been consulting with GOP advisers as she considers joining the field of candidates hoping to replace Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in a likely recall election later this year. Ms. Jenner has spoken to Dave Rexrode, executive director of the Republican Governors Association, about a potential run, a spokesman for the organization said.

The celebrity activist, who described herself as "economically conservative, socially progressive" in a People magazine interview last year, would stand out in a field that has so far failed to attract a nationally known contender. Her potential run would come nearly two decades after Arnold Schwarzenegger, another Republican, used his Hollywood fame as a springboard to the state's highest office in a 2003 recall election.

A representative for Ms. Jenner couldn't be reached to comment.

Oh, well, I guess it'll be easier for Jenner to clear the hurdles to getting elected in California than it would've been before the operation.

California Governor Worries His Recall is a Referendum on Joe Biden and Democrats

The Atlantic Article interviewing the perpetually inept far-left advocate for all things big government, Gavin Newsom, doesn’t specifically say the California governor is worried about his recall being a wider referendum on Joe Biden, but the gorilla in the room is visible through the fear the interview conveys.

The left-wing Democrat socialists writ large have pushed their agenda so hard against the common threads that bind American society, that now the Newsom recall effort looks like an opportunity for common-sense to push back. I smile because there are trembles amid the dark forces of the globalists, the multinationals and the institutional corporations who need Newsom and his Democrat tribe.

This recall effort was never supposed to be close. With foam filled spittle they shout angrily, “THIS IS CALIFORNIA, for God’s sake“; without even a hint of self awareness surrounding their invocation of the one pure element that destroys all the evil they support. Indeed, “for God’s sake” is exactly the reason Newsom is being held to account.

Within the interview, Newsom lashes out at the world against him. “I’m now feeling the weight of this decision, and a weight of responsibility to defeat this, and also the responsibility that if we fall short, I’m going to own that,” he said. He mentioned to me some of his recent initiatives, including the injection of billions of dollars of federal relief money into the state budget and signing a bill to expand health care to undocumented workers. “If I do fall short, I’ll regret every damn one of those decisions. And I don’t want to have any regrets for putting everything out there and doing … what I think is right and what I think is in the best interest of California.”

Using the guise of COVID as a justification for advancing their ultimate ideological desires, Newsom’s tribe have destroyed education, shut down independent businesses; weaponized the police force by using SWAT team storm troopers to enforce their unilateral dictates; pushed the forced masks upon the electorate, and demanded that California residents undergo untested forced vaccinations in order to live in their utopian society. Gee, a reckoning might be coming…. and they are shocked, shocked.

ATLANTIC – […] Recalls can deliver immediate emotional satisfaction to dissatisfied voters, and there are many dissatisfied voters in California. You can be mad at Newsom because you never liked him in the first place. You can be mad about his ego, his peevishness, and his sense of entitlement. You can be mad because Donald Trump is your model of what a leader should be; you can be mad because of the way Newsom’s handled wildfires and drought; you can be mad at him because you’re tired of pandemic shutdowns. You can be mad about anything. All those angry Californians’ votes will go on the recall pile. And if that pile is big enough, Newsom will be out before Halloween.

His replacement would probably be someone who opposes strict anti-coronavirus measures; the end of California’s mask mandates and COVID-19 lockdowns would quickly follow. Then another potential ripple: If Dianne Feinstein, the state’s aging and ailing senior senator, was unable to finish her term, whoever wins the recall—if not Newsom then most likely a Republican—would appoint her replacement. The Senate is split 50–50, and Vice President Kamala Harris holds the tie-breaking vote. How much Californians care to keep Newsom, a governor who often provokes only tepid support even among his voters, could end up deciding the fate of the Democrats’ Senate majority and the entire Biden agenda. (read more)

Perhaps I am alone in my thinking as I read those pearl-clutching words; but the only thing that comes to mind is, “tough sh!t jackass,“. You think it sucks to be you? Try being one of the proles who have been forced to scrape and scrounge for survival amid the chaos Newsom and his tribe have created.

Newsom is worried about the success of a recall effort? He should be. So should every evil, conniving, scheming woke tribalist who thrives on creating toxic clouds of despair that only settle upon citizens without resources to elevate their social status and gain a seat at the gilded table amid the corporate penthouse. “Eff you“…COVID Compliance Minister Gavin Newsom, and the entire tribe who supports you.

I spit in Newsom’s direction...

Good luck California Patriots. I hope you unite together in common cause and destroy this creature.

Working on it, thanks!
Got my sign out front.
Made contribution to recall effort.
Trying to get link for volunteer app.

If Newsome is removed and a Republican takes the office, the Dems will keep Feinstein on life support if they have to.

Audio-animatronic Senator Feinstein. Disney's pretty good at that stuff.

Well, the state is allowing people to print their own ballots. So, with the amount of inevitable fraud I'd bet Newsome isn't going anywhere.

I hope I'm wrong.

Either that or we'll find out which side cheats better.

That would be the state legislature, both houses. While CA Gov is a very visible position, the ability to leverage its position is more limited than other states; whomever replaces Newsome will have to contend with a super-majority in the state Senate and Assembly. Nonetheless, he needs to go.

^^^ The only nice thing about someone else's anonymity is that they'll always be tempted to retreat back into anonymity. If Governor Goodhair gets hammered, the legislators might just duck their heads, shut up, and wait for better days to try to "distinguish" themselves from the rest of the (predominantly liberal Democrat) politicians in the crowd.

I'm predicting he'll be recalled and Larry Elder will replace him.

The problem is that with a Democrat Super majority in the State legislature, Elder won't be able to get anything good done while he's in office.

Maybe. Probably. But Larry is sharp. He could use the Left’s most potent weapon against them and crumble the whole house of cards. He needs to appeal to their base using the Dem arsenal. Turn their base and the Dems are impotent.

If ever we have a chance, now is the time. The leftists are on the run thanks to ol' Droolin' Joe.
