Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, October 26, 2025

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has become one of President Trump's most high-profile adversaries, told "CBS News Sunday Morning" in an exclusive interview that he will consider whether to run for president after the 2026 midterm elections.

I'm filing a brief in support of the case against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs now in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. California families and businesses shouldn't pay the price for actions that Trump never had the authority to take in the first place.

Dems aren't going to win until they abandon the DNC corporate wing of the party. They need a populist outsider to come in and destroy the old guard like trump did to the republicans.

Except trump's populism is a scam. Dems would win with REAL populism. If we were allowed to have legit elections that is...

4th largest economy in the world.

This is just an absurd statement. Its at the greedy capitalist end of all the Chinese/Taiwan manufacturing workers.

90% of the work is done outside the state, the state then takes it in and "sells" it .. this is the "economy" you're talking about. It has the highest income inequality for a capitalist economy in the world.

The issue for Newsom is he pretends he was poor for sympathy votes from Lumpers, like RienSnot.

When the reality is he grew up the rich life, with a father that was a lawyer for Billionaire Getty family.

Actually has stated:
"It was about payin' the bills, man."
"Hustlin."
"I raised myself."
"Wonder bread and Mac 'n cheese. That's how I grew up, bro."

Playing ball, when he can't even dribble around school children.

Newsom, like Trump, is a terrible representation of the American politician.

Never gonna happen.

Dems had Bernie. They sank him. In 2016 and 2020.

Dems have actually, quite successfully, sank several popular progressive candidates. They're currently trying to take down Mamdani.

The America we're currently stuck in is a combined effort of the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Yeah, you noticed that as well.

If Pres Trump achieves his goal of winning the House in 2026 (via politicians choosing voters instead of voters choosing politicians), then what would the Trump-servant House do in the 2028 election?


Might they refuse to certify any candidate who had the nerve to out-vote Pres Trump? And then put in place a policy that allows Pres Trump's reign to continue in future years?

1) You hugely love Donald Trump, for studiously not choosing to see (or admit) what is rotten in the man.

2) Trump will run for president in 2028, if he is still alive. And the man thinks he will live forever.

3) If Trump runs for a third term, you'll support that. I could construct your excuses now. Just ask me.

4) Donald Trump already is a dictator, just not an absolute one.

5) If you're waiting for him to formally assign himself some title reflective of dictator, you may well get that at some future date. And you will also support that.

6) You have a side. It means you are a loathesome worm, but worms can be happy for having no spines and no brains.

One plan floated by MAGA is that JD gets the nomination, picks Trump as his VP, then resigns after being elected president, making Trump president again.

The defect of that is, of course, that JD Vance can't be trusted and farther than Trump can spit.

The more realistic scenario is another overt coup attempt.

This one will have to be much bloodier than the one he's already done.

LOL Trump loses another one:

"The first thing for me was he didn't release the Epstein files. They're even acting like they didn't exist," he said, before moving on to his other grievances. "And, of course, they're sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he's blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef."

Mitchell added, "Hey, I'm not biased, man. He talked a good game; he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it."

But the UFC fighter held his most revelatory attack on Trump towards the end, saying, "I want y'all, if you're a Christian, I want you to get into Revelation 13:3, and I want you to read that verse " yeah, about the Antichrist, about the one who was fatally wounded in the head; then he was miraculously healed and the whole world marveled at him and said, No man can make war with him.' Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3. Yeah, go read it. Go read it!"

"One side has been historically better for the debt and one has been historically worse."

Historically, both increase the debt and keep creating more deficits.

It doesn't matter which is better or worse at it. What matters is neither is stopping it when they have the chance.

Actually there is, it's called the Twelfth Amendment. www.law.cornell.edu

#44 | Posted by et_al at 2025-10-28 10:30 AM | Reply

Whether a two-term President could be elected or appointed Vice President depends upon the meaning of the Twelfth Amendment, which provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President." Is someone prohibited by the Twenty-Second Amendment from being "elected" to the office of President thereby "constitutionally ineligible to the office?"
That's the part I was wondering about.
