as if Obama hasn't given enough of his life to advance Democratic causes. Oh no, he laughed awkwardly next to an obnoxious narcissist at a social function. What was he supposed to do? Punch him? Make a big stink at Carter's memorial? It was about Carter, not Trump's ego that day.

Fuck George Carlin anyway. Pill-popping woo-pushing New Age bullshit and conspiracy theories from him were almost as lame as his ponytail and just as well past it's sell-by date.

I'll take ACA which saved my life over his shitty 70s albums any day.

wrong about Carlin. He was right about the bigwigs, now we call them oligarchs, taking what they want and screw us little people. We're watching that unfold as we speak.

He was not flattering him/. He said he was going to way lay Trump at the Airport and he did. Really laid it on think. Trump was reduced to saying,” you are going to need lots of help/ Newsom glad handing him, patting him on the back.

I think we saw our new Democratic Leader in action today!😜👍🌈😁😁

I watched it live as it was happening. I do not fault him for acting as a sane human being SHOULD act, as he is in the unenviable position of attempting to receive as much federal assistance as possible for the Californians devastated by wildfires, but he did not look happy at all.....at least in my opinion.

with an "oops," that door malfunctioned... just wasn't an option-- so Newsome had to be civil, I guess.
