Being Gavin Newsom


The country is going to hell in a hand basket. A hand basket that was made in China, by low wage workers and scooped up by quality-indifferent Walmart shoppers who cannot name the three branches of our government unless it came up on that night's Wheel of Fortune Lightening Round.

Even more distressing, the feckless Democrats are doing nothing to stop the Fascist runaway freight train.

One is. And I'm happy to say it's our own California governor, who is more than familiar with the fat Furher currently rolling out tanks the same way his son Baron played with toy limousines. 

In a brilliant ju-jitsu move by the governor's social media team, The Gavinator has assumed the role of Dark Gavin, mocking Trump's tweets/truths/news conference gaffes or any of the nonsense that comes out the president's mouth like so much corn-speckled diarrhea. 

He mimics the tone. He reproduces The Weave. And he brilliantly crafts comedic gold out of the unimaginable bullshittery that poses as leadership from our stable genius president. And given the prodigious insanity that comes from the White House, there is never a shortage of grist for the digital mill.

To their credit Carmen Zapata (I love that it's a Latina woman helming the effort, I also hope that she's gay and has some MOT Ladina heritage as well) and her team have hit paydirt. With followers of the Governor Newsom Press Office now approaching 1 gazillion -- if Captain Ouchie Foot can play loose with numbers why can't we?

Naturally, since this involves trolling Trump, I want to get in on the action. And one of my many well connected readers has put me in touch with high level staffers at Newsom's office, who said, "Love it! I saw he reached out to LinkedIn and I meant to respond! Not my lane in our office but I’m sure someone from our comms shop would be interested in chatting w him!"

I'm waiting.

But I'm also writing. 

And couldn't resist trying my idle hands at this real-fake-tweeting thing. You may have seen these on my social media pages, but I've gone ahead and compiled them all, which will in effect demonstrate the unreal cumulative cretinous crap that spews from behind the Resolute Desk in just two days
