There is an effort to recall Gavin Newsom, the governor of the Peoples’ Republik of Kalifornia. Last I read there were 1.4 million signatures gathered of the 1.5 million necessary for the recall to be put to a vote.
I have been telling people, “Be careful what you wish for“.
In 2003 the people of the PRK recalled Governor Gray Davis for his mismanagement of the state. A couple of things that set people off were the vehicle registration fees and the rising cost of electricity. Back then we had “rolling blackouts” and “brownouts” (hmm, nothing has changed) because of deals made regarding purchasing of out of state electricity. Davis was successfully recalled making him only the second state governor to be recalled in US history.
What happened after the recall?
The people of the PRK elected Arnold “Faux Republican” Schwarzenegger to replace Davis as governor. I’ve always said he was a Democrat wearing a Republican suit. He was married to a Kennedy for goodness sakes.
Arnie turned out to be the WORST governor in PRK history!
The Lunk-head Arnold signed many of the craziest pieces of legislation into law that has led to decline of the state. Some people were upset that Davis put into law restrictions on gun ownership. What did Lunk-head do? He put in more restrictions on gun ownership.
Lunk-head signed into law that a child as young as in the FIRST GRADE could legally choose their GENDER without ANY parental consent.
The coup de grace of Lunk-head’s policies was creating with DEMOCRATS two laws which almost forever locks in Democrat control for the PRK. The first was the “jungle primary” where the top two primary candidates are the only choices on the general election ballot for statewide office, US Senators, and House representatives regardless of party affiliation. As there are more Democrats than Republicans in the PRK we almost always have two Democrats as the only choices in elections. The companion bill to the “jungle primary” is a little known law that prevents a grass roots “write-in” campaign to challenge the two Democrats in the general election. Lock for the Dems, thanks Lunk-head.
Arnie was great for this state. When he was voted in his approval rating was 65%. When Lunk-head left office his approval rating was 23% which interestingly was about the SAME as Gray Davis’ approval rating when he was recalled. Lunk-head was in 2010 named “One of the 11 worst governors“.
What did a younger Gavin Newsom think of Lunk-head? He said, “He’s becoming a Democrat… He’s running back, not even to the center. I would say center-left“.
If the recall is successful, who knows who will run for governor. Rumor is Bruce “Caitlyn, the nutless wonder” Jenner might run. I suspect a number of ‘popular’ moron celebrities will throw their hats into the ring and say “girlie man“. Once again be careful what you wish for.
