That’s not humiliation, it’s trolling. Nothing good comes out of bullying bullies. Californians will pay a big price for it. But clearly politicians and Americans can’t do better. It’s sad to observe a lack of social evolution in this country. Very sad.

What amazes me is that it has never occurred to Democrats before.

The idea that if they do it to you then you can do it back to them is the basis of the nuclear policy of the entire world, and has been for well over 50 years. It even had its own name - MAD - and US politicians swore it was effective and spent huge proportions of your economy on it.

Democrats are happy to do it, just not when means fighting back against their political opponents.

It is almost as if the 'leaders' do not care because they make as much money win or lose.

I don't know…i think it may be time to stop the straight copying/mockery and go back to forceful and funny responses. Remember- Obama making such great mockery of him at the WH correspondents’ dinner seems to have made this whole shitshow happen!

Hey Newsom, you know what would REALLY stick it to Trump?

If you gave healthcare to trans people and housed the homeless instead of throwing them in jail.

Hey Now! This honest ridicule should have easily kicked off on ol' Sticky Crotch back in 2015! History will always ask "How come was Sir was so indulged some more?"

I believe that if I were to genuinely threaten someone with violence, I would not specify using nuclear weapons. Those things are really hard to get hold of. It took me 3 weeks.

The Gov's trolling tactics are THE GREATEST TROLLING TACTICS IN THE NEAREST TEN THOUSAND GALAXIES! Trump is a self-adulating, talentless goddamned clown, and he should be continually mocked as such. He is the most pathetically thin-skinned a**hole on the planet, so this stuff really gets to him. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

There are some people ahead of Gavin on my list of preferences for future president, but I do love the trolling, lol.

Same here. I may not see a woman president in my lifetime, and that hurts for a few reasons. But I'll take this. Someone get up on their hind legs and react.

I have hopes, especially since my youngest has been declaring her intent on being president some day for 3 years now. She's only 9. (There's a PBSKids cartoon, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, that sparked her interest)

I don't think it's safe to nominate a Dem woman for President. Biden beat him, but Clinton and Harris lost. I believe there are still many, many people who would not vote for a woman (but they'll vote for that sadistic fool trumpy). It's sad, but given the horrible state of our politics I don't think Dems should take any chances they can avoid.

Nobody thought a black person would win until he did. I'll keep the faith, so to speak, and not just for Future Madame President GirlDemi.

Who hasn't whipped out their dick and worked it furiously as others watched on in the restroom?

Oh, right, never mind.

Also, "alleged masturbation" is not the same as masturbation.

At that, I'd rather have a candidate who pleasures himself instead of fucking his constituents.

Alleged is just a` filler' to up the writer's word count. It is otherwise a meaningless phrase demanded by lawyers tying to justify their existence.

I have found that a good rule of thumb is as follows. Until evidence suggest otherwise one can safely assume "alleged" = true and "many people are saying" = false

To a British ear US media sometimes sounds like ....

Donald Trump , the alleged president, is alleged to have two hands and to have used one of them to sign what are alleged to be executive orders. (See image above of the president signing an executive order).

Trump is alleged to have fathered children and his alleged wives allege that they gave birth to them. (Link to report and photographs of wedding ceremonies with alleged wives featuring pictures of marriage certificates).

Yesterday during alleged remarks the president alleged that most citizens of the US breathe air with their lungs. A number of alleged medics allegedly contest this allegation.

Furthermore some diplomats allege the alleged United States of America are not in fact united and never have been. Other diplomats allegedly claim Texas is apart of Canada's, Alaska is part of Russia, and Canada doesn't exist at all.

In a ruling today the US Supreme Court alleged up is down, black is white (or at least not allowed in the US) and that nothing is true unless they allege it to be so. Some critics allege that the alleged Court will reverse this alleged ruling as soon as the alleged Justices are given a larger alleged bribe.

You get the idea.

This is true, but guess what, I'd rather have neither. Nothing wrong with pleasuring yourself, but not at work and in public!
