I'm seeing a lot of Newsom talk and I'm holding on to one thing, I really don't think his slick ass can win a primary. I think most of the country will turn their nose up at him.
Hopefully the Democrats don't force him down our throats like they did the last few candidates.

Wow. A message from Trump's nominee for top State Dept. job—who's already facing fierce opposition because of *other* fucked up statements—to a childhood friend:
An excerpt from one of my partner’s DM conversations with Trump’s nominee, Jeremy Carl. Jeremy said this in sincerity to his white queer friend: that we should enjoy being discriminated against as queer folk because worse is coming when we are discriminated against as white people. 🤯 Just so wrong.
