Anyone want to bet me regarding Gavin Newsom being recalled?

[Jayjami]

Druff looking better every day. Talk about the kiss of death:

Biden to the rescue. The president promises aggressive effort to fight Newsom recall

https://news.yahoo.com/column-biden-...ycsrp_catchall

Biden has 0.0 influence in California. The only reason we voted for him was to prevent a fascist moron from destroying the country.

LA Times totally gripping in latest editorial, a month before the election:

Wake up, California! Removing Gavin Newsom would be a disaster

https://news.yahoo.com/editorial-wak...ycsrp_catchall

LOL LA Times. How the mighty really have fallen. Was once a venerable respected magazine. Now it is being run by the owner's daughter, who is some super woke black studies Berkeley (Stanford?) graduate who has never worked a day in her life. And the paper itself is definitely a reflection of this. I would never read a word of that garbage, but when I stop by the local 7-11 every day to grab a Coke and read the headlines, it really is a marvel that it could be the headline for a facetious Onion or Babylon Bee article.

I'm actually not a big Larry Elder fan. I actually tried listening to him in the 1990s, and he acted like he had a stick up his ass, so I turned it off pretty quickly. He was no Rush Limbaugh, that's for sure.

I was in Ohio for a work trip and found his show on a radio station in Columbus. This was the week of the 2018 midterms. I thought his show was pretty good (Not sure he’s on anywhere in Central KY, so never listened to him before), though I would agree he isn’t Rush good.

I just bet win predictit.com that he Gavin N will not resign...think I lay .77 to win a buck.

You should subscribe to Andy Ngo's twitter and check out the wild shit that goes down in the Antifa/homeless/druggy (mostly the same people making up all 3 groups) riots in Portland. That was kiddie play by comparison. They are macing and stabbing and shooting each other all the time.

Forget the topic, this proposal comes from an addict. Look it up. Dopamine stimulation comes in many forms.

There is no theoretical difference between alcoholism and an eating disorder.

Huge fatties are every where. How happy or impressed by their physical make up are they?

The anti-vaxxers (a political position I dont personal subscribe to at all FWIW) were attending a permitted and government sanctioned public event, as protected by the United States Constitution.

The Antifa domestic terrorist who committed the stabbing came to do violence to subvert this Constitutionally protected Democratic process. Same as they have been doing for the last couple years, constantly showing up to illegally intimidate and injure (and very rarely murder) attendees of legally sanctioned public events.

Whatever their name, by any definition Antifa are just fascist antidemocratic domestic terrorists. It really is that simple.

And the fact that otherwise reasonable left wing ideologues like yourself can't grasp this at all is just a clear example of an unfortunate artifact of our evolutionary past. When their is tension between higher cognitive function and the reptilian brain, the latter is normally going to win out.

Got my ballot for the CA governor recall in the mail today!
in addition to voting yes or no on the recall you can vote for who should replace Newsom if the recall passes.
On the ballot there are 46 names! Plus you can write in anyone you want! The winner is simply the one with the most votes.
So if each of the listed names gets 100 votes but 101 people write in "Todd Witteles", he will be the Governor of CA!

Here are a couple of my favorites:

A self-described immigrant hair-stylist whose solution to the homeless crisis is to take over several multi-level parking structures and assign each homeless person their own numbered space so that they can bring their pets and possessions and be protected from the elements. (I am NOT making this up!)

A Green Party free speech and animal rights lawyer who does not really want to win but figures he would be a good choice if the recall passes.

And yes, Caitlan Jenner is on the ballot, right at the top!

I remember during the last recall there were a couple of Porn stars that were running.

A lawsuit has been filed challenging the constitutionality of the recall.

Druff I am fine for the bet to stand regardless of the ruling, but consider what you’d want to do if:
—Newsom is allowed to be listed as a candidate to replace himself, and wins despite being recalled
—Newsom can only be recalled if another candidate gets more votes than “NO”
—The state is forced to hold a “regular” election instead
—The date is pushed back while the case is pending

Again I’m fine letting it stand.

That “lawyer” is Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the best, but its chances of success are slim, and it has zero point zero chance of being resolved before next year’s 2022 governor’s election

..

Again I’m fine letting it stand.

—Newsom is allowed to be listed as a candidate to replace himself, and wins despite being recalled -- YOU WIN

—Newsom can only be recalled if another candidate gets more votes than “NO” -- CANCEL BET

—The state is forced to hold a “regular” election instead -- CANCEL BET

—The date is pushed back while the case is pending -- CANCEL BET IF MORE THAN 30 DAY DELAY


Agree to the above?

Agreed. Want to make sure you are comfy with all terms.

To keep things simple I am giving bettor power of attorney to Walt. Anything you guys decide that applies to Walt’s bet also applies to mine.

Alexandra Datig, the former fiancee and longtime radio producer for California GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, says she broke off an 18-month engagement with the conservative talk show host in 2015 after he waved a gun at her while high on marijuana.

This allegation is simply not believable. One does not threaten people when high on marijuana. You seton the couch like a zombie, watch Scooby Doo and order a Pizza. Her story does not add up.

That must be why he had his lawyers harass her until she signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Drugs affect different people differently. He’s an aggressive, sexist, abusive piece of shit when not high, so it’s not hard to imagine he is is an aggressive, sexist, abusive piece of shit when high.

To be fair, she wouldn’t give him back his bag of Doritos.

This was the best the Democrats could come up with in California, y'all:

Watch both videos.

I didn't think it was possible, but he actually has a more maniacal laugh than Kamala.

Interestingly, powerful California political figure Willie Brown basically made both Newsom and Kamala in the '90s, though at least Newsom didn't have to suck wrinkly old penis in order to get it done. Well, maybe he did... he did end up Mayor of SF, after all.
