I guess what I'd say about Governor Newsom is this: if you make rules for everyone in the state follow them yourself. How many folks at the top of the political ladder have fallen down the rungs for believing their own press about how important they are? That said may he win and win big! That's one thing. The other is this: as soon as any gop candidate figures they will lose in an election they begin shouting "voter fraud". Which of course is a bald faced lie. Unfortunately the media game of "he said, she said, they said" does not help. I've gotten pretty fed up with how PBS Newshour "journalists" begin their interviews, NOT with trying to first find out what may be in a bill and why it is important to the person supporting it, but instead begin with the loud mouths coming out with the usual drivel. Get with it media people! The situation we're in now means that any news organization that is going to have integrity needs to be sure the people listening know what the situation is BEFORE letting the voices of the usual suspects stir up the clouds of dust and debris. I guess this approach is supposed to signal "fairness". Forget it. The "fairness doctrine" dies a very long time ago - under Reagan. Frankly the folks against the BIG BILL which could create a whole new opportunity for everyone in the United States not to mention the planet is this: raising taxes. But raising taxes to not even what they were BEFORE the gop cut everything they could under 45's "leadership". Think about Reagan, and W. Same thing. The vast majority of us, and the earth we call home, have suffered under the stupid ideology that if you let the people with the most keep 99.9% of it, it will eventually trickle down to the good of everyone. Another big LIE from a party that has been about lies and subterfuge for so long they no longer know a lie when the hear it, see it, or tell it.
