Biden's re-election campaign is sending my Governor, Gavin Newsom, to the second Republican presidential debate this week. He’s there to respond in real time with Democratic points. He’s honestly the only reason to watch the debate. But I’ll probably wait till afterwards. Can’t stand the nastiness of the GOP.
@georgetakei That must be a pretty coveted slot. Hope he doesn't bomb like Bobby Jindal. (he won't, Newsom is a good public speaker)
@georgetakei they should have sent Fetterman.
@georgetakei How’s that going to go down? Surely they’re not going to give him time on the stage during the debate.
@lawoman @georgetakei I imagine it’s going to be like an episode of MST3k with Newsom throwing barbs from the audience.

@georgetakei I have a really hard time watching the GOP talk about anything because I get enraged and I don't like to be enraged.

It's a travesty that they hold so much power in our country.

@georgetakei
If I wanted to spend the evening angry for no good reason I would dump half a pound of salt onto my tongue.
Maybe this debate will end differently?
@georgetakei I understand that 110%. I have anxiety & depression + extreme empathy. I try to avoid news about the GOP at all costs because all they wish to do is hurt others. The only things that pique my curiosity is when they end up in prison or socially taken down. :3

@georgetakei

It’s quite telling that when these GOP Debate motherfuckers tried to hijack the recent Number 1 song Rich Men North of Richmond as a right wing anthem, Oliver Anthony Music responded with “the song is ABOUT those (motherfuckers) on stage. Not just them, but DEFINITELY them.”

@georgetakei how’s that? Like he’s participating in the debate? Or like if I watch it on the right channel/stream I’ll get his commentary overlayed? Which channel/stream is that?
