Not what I said. What I said was it was the people of California who signed the petition for the recall. There literally aren't enough registered Republicans in this state to set up a partisan recall. I said nothing of Newsome's over all popularity only that his own action irritated enough people to initiate the process.Mike wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 12:39 pmThere are those who contend that the failed recall was very much a bipartisan effort, that so many folks across the political spectrum in California were so fed up that this was something other than an astroturfed GQP effort to weaken Biden. That it was a legitimate attempt to reject an unpopular governor.
What is comical are your dull, feeble attempts to paraphrase anyone you disagree with. Almost without fail you create a strawman, knock it down and then take your victory lap. Simi decent conversations with you were good while they lasted. back to ignore the child.

Why would anybody pay any attention whatsoever to what Nicki Minaj has to say? What part about being a musician and personality who is famous for being famous gives her the right to have any sort of influence on what people think?GuideToACrazyWorld wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 3:34 pmI'm about 99% sure that Nicki Minaj and Tucker Carolson agreeing is the 7th sign of the apocalypse. It was fun while it lasted humanity!
It goes waaay beyond that. Carlson admits that he lies when he’s cornered. Since he corners himself routinely and others corner him routinely, it can be presumed that he spends the vast majority of his public life deliberately lying;Tarmaque wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 4:27 pmWhy would anybody pay any attention whatsoever to what Nicki Minaj has to say?

Carlson on the other hand has the opposite attributes. Which is to say, he has proved himself time and time again not to even be right about anything. Even by random chance. He's just wrong on purpose. Nikki thinks she is right because she's read shit on the internet. At least that's something.
She's also famous for being outrageous. I guess her and tucker have a lot in common after all.
Her "outrageous" behavior seems old and stale to me. It's nothing different from what Madonna was doing 35 years ago, or what Lady Gaga was doing ten years ago. Give it a new paint job, file the serial numbers off, and market it to a different demographic.GuideToACrazyWorld wrote: ↑Thu Sep 16, 2021 8:13 pmShe's also famous for being outrageous.

In an interview with I read, ( NYT"s I believe) he said the inner workings of the current Republican Party are bad and he thinks it is unhealthy to hang out around it, but, he also said when he had to hire security to cover his wife and children and the threats they got was a big reason....quality of family life and what is better for them...he also said that driving between two cities was getting old ...I have Jim Jordan unfortunately, and Gonzalez was next door and their were rumors Jordan would lose his district in the redistricting, and I was hoping Gonzalez would inherit...sighMike wrote: ↑Fri Sep 17, 2021 1:57 amCiting “toxic dynamics inside our own party” as part of his decision process, Rep.Anthony Gonzalez (R) of Ohio has decided to not serve past the end of the current term. He will not seek re-election. Gonzalez was one of the very few Republicans who voted to impeach trump for the events of January 6.
Of course he would have been primaried. But one wonders just what level of toxicity caused him to not even try for it, to walk away at this time.
Here is part of the aforementioned dynamics: a CNN poll finds that 59% of Republican respondents say that “believing that trump won the election” is important to what being a Republican means to them.
