NEWSOM RECALL MOVING FROM MAYBE TOWARDS PROBABLY

by Bob Walsh


There have been 54 more-or-less serious recall attempts launched against Governors in the formerly great state of California.  Only one has been successful, that about 18 years ago.  The current one, targeting the God-Emperor Gavin Newsom, is starting to look like it will get onto the ballot.

The current petition push is running about 85% valid signatures, which is unusually high.  They need about 1.5 million VALID signatures, they have about 1.4 million total signatures right now.  They have about six weeks to go.  Newsom's popularity and good-job rating has recently dropped from the high 50s to the mid-40s.  His shitty "do as I say not as I do" elite attitude hasn't helped.  Neither have the continual visits from the fuck-up fairy on vaccine distribution and the god-awful fraud mess from EDD, which has resulted in the state pouring hundreds of millions of dollars out the door with pretty much zero checking.  One single address got over 1,700 unemployment claims paid.  A buttload of prisoners collected unemployment payments, either directly or indirectly.  

The man is an arrogant jerkoff with damn little to be justifiably arrogant about.  He treats the voters like peons who are too stupid to know what's good for them. He is an asshole and deserves to be thrown out of office.

Will we get somebody better if that happens?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  But at least whoever we get will be aware that his cushy job is not all that secure and maybe he should pay some attention to the people who put him there.
