Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

I mean you don’t have know what’s in the Bible to understand how wrong & despicable this all is. It’s basic humanity. You help the sick and feed the hungry.

I think Newsom has the right message. But, if he wants a chance 2028, he MUST Break ties with the "broliarcy". Hey, Gavin, take a big note from Mamdami's book.

Even the idea that the plastic J.D. Vance, is religious, is absurd. He's a damaged, uncompassionate, inauthentic, ambitious guy whose abandonment by his parents has injured for life. He does understand that Trump's hunger policies could kill millions. It doesn't faze him.

How is it, Making America Great, and America First. We or should I say him. Giving a foreign country Argentina 40 billion dollars, but refuse to give your own American citizens affordable health insurance. Trump has money for that, but not his own people. What is he getting out of it?

I wonder how much these people even really believe in the religion they claim to hold so dear to them. They are trying to not feed the poor, constantly harming the homeless, and making exorbitant amounts of money while doing so. The rich struggling to get into heaven is pretty commonly quoted

Ignore Vance's words claiming his constant fundamental "Christian"witness to following God's Words=It is his >>> actions that reveal his heart/truths. Vance's acts demostrates obeying/pleasing Trump/GOP handlers is above what's written by 'God's finger' in the Bible. newrepublic.com/post/202868/...

newrepublic.comTrump and JD Vance Whine They’ve Been Ordered to Fund Food StampsLess than a week ago, Donald Trump said he welcomed a court ruling on the issue.

People willing to use feeding people as a “bargaining chip” are evil. Caving to those people just gives them permission to do it again, and again, and again. Caving in just so they can keep the ACA for just a stinking YEAR and allow them to shut down the government again next year, is stupid AF.

😎🪴🌵 JD Vance and Peter Thiel have been running their own little GOP think tank since 2019. The Washington Post says the group, called the Rockbridge Network, is made up of conservative billionaires, media figures, and donors trying to build a MAGA movement that keeps going long after Trump’s gone.

Their plan is to win every election with 55% of the vote, build their own media empire, and use “strategic litigation” to tilt the laws in their favor. The group’s led by venture capitalist Chris Buskirk — who’s teamed up with Trump Jr. It’s not hard to see how this setup could get messy fast.

Tell Chuck Schumer and the rest of your party voting no on the CR to give us our SNAP back. Stop starving Americans and trying to blame it on your political opponents. Only the toothless rubes believe tour lies.

I wonder what all the priests and preachers and ministers are saying to their congregations today. If they can’t find the words, they can just show this video.

Vance can easily rationalize it because it’s in service of his lofty goal of achieving immense power (and probably wealth). He’s a million times worse than Judas Iscariot because he’s sold out millions of people rather than just one.

I love the circular firing squad in these comments. Lots of purity testers. Lots of performative virtue signaling. No, Newsom isn't your perfect politician. Yes, Newsome is very good and effective in keeping you and your family out of a concentration camp. Get over yourselves.

There's this thing call confession, usually on a Saturday afternoon, that wipes the slate clean for Catholics. But one has to do the penance of a variable number of rosaries and Our Fathers to totally wipe that slate clean. I want Vance to pay the new pope a visit. And have a convo with him.

NYT just now,”The Trump administration told states on Saturday to “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply.” Cruelty is their objective.

Don’t forget about control. Religion, IMO, was developed to control the masses. What better way than to put the fear of suffering for eternity if you break the rules.

No, most people with a functioning brain know that Republicans aren't real Christians. We are at a point in the regime where calling it as you see it is very much warranted. This isn't some deep esoteric point that only a big brain could make. Any person who grew up with religion could point it out.

Trump doesn't know The Lord's Prayer, and gets the Evangelicals' vote. Newsome knows the Old Testament book of Proverbs for John and Matthew, and the Evangelicals will not vote for him. I'm beginning to think Trump supporters are hiding the true reason for their support behind religion.

My question is why do all the victims not have copies of all the files and pictures and videos since the DOJ says nobody else is being investigated. They and their attorneys should have all the files and all the copies shouldn't they?

First, I highly recommend documentaries on Netflix Filthy Rich: #Maxwell & a docuseries about #Epstein The survivors, as they prefer to be called, are compiling an #EpsteinList of their own. I also recommend Virginia Giuffre’s memoir. Since Prince Andrew has been summoned to Congress is good!

It's shameful, yes. Comparing their behavior to how Christians are supposed to actually behave is irrelevant. None of these fuckers actually give a shit about the "faith" they espouse. And anyhow, separation of church and state is really fucking important for a reason.

Leviticus 23:22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor⁠, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. (Stranger=foreigner)

💯 but not enough being made of the Kremlin's historic use of starvation and deprivation as a means of control. Low-t's all-in on Putin's playbook. No food, no healthcare, no U.S.A.

Yep. Drowned every motherfucker on the planet except for an old man, his family, and two of every animal. He also condoned rape, slavery, torture and all sorts of other shitbaggery. 🤔

Which makes the all knowing all powerful god a but schizophrenic doesn't it? Why not be loving from the get go? Because it is a fairy tale that he exists and the story only reflects the attitudes of society when it is written by the men of those times

I had a comparative religion prof in college point out that Yahweh, aka Jehovah, was a war god. He was Ares without the rest of the Greek pantheon to moderate him. What could you expect?

I wish Lee Falk had been around to have written the Bible, with the Phantom (aka Ghost Who Walks or Mr. Walker) as the main character instead of God. The Phantom was a far better protector of the weak and innocent against the evils of the world.

Those are all interpretations by many different men. The "lord" was different symbols to different people/cultures. Gov Newsom is trying to illustrate a point about the hypocrisy of the Fake Christians in our White House. You would all do well to support Gavin's fearless criticism of trump regime

you have to go past, further than old testament to get a fuller meaning of the word. There are 14 tablets of cuneiform text, that has been translated and I encourage all to take a look at the translations.

That was Newsom’s chance to go after Tapper. “So, Jake, you wrote an entire book about the White House hiding Joe Biden’s health. That seems to be your specialty, your focus. Here we have a President with clear failing health issues in real time, covered up with comic book denials. Where are you?”

Because Vance isn't a "Christian." He only conveniently became one around 2019 because he needed those religious credentials in order to run for office as a Republican

St Augustine, made it clear that Old Testament was made redundant by the New Testament, that was the point of being CHRISTIAN. Who was St Augustine you ask and why does this matter? Look it up…. www.britannica.com/biography/Sa... Incidentally he also wrote the 1st known autobiography

britannica.comSt. Augustine | Of Hippo, Confessions, Philosophy, & Major Works | BritannicaSt. Augustine was bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430 and one of the Latin Fathers of the Church.

Are we still pretending that xtians give a damn about other people? Hahahahaha They are behind the whole take over. They planned it and financed it with the money they collect at their maga and mega churches. Xtians are a treat to everything America holds dear. But you guys aren't ready for that

But will they take notice? They WILFULLY IGNORE anything they do not WANT to hear (fingers in ears; going ‘la, la, lah lah, lah). It makes one realise the truth of what is being ALLOWED BY “We the people” that by NOT PROACTIVELY using AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS u r committing SUICIDE

"In a really equal democracy, every or any section would be represented, not disproportionately, but proportionately. ... Unless they are, there is not equal government, but a government of inequality and privilege: one part of the people rule over the rest:

there is a part whose fair and equal share of influence in the representation is withheld from them, contrary to all just government, but, above all, contrary to the principle of democracy, which professes equality as its very root and foundation." ~ JOHN STUART MILL

The modern day Republicon believes that Jesus does not belong in Christianity… He contradicts everything they stand for…worship your orange idiot instead bunch of hate mongers 😒

Gavin Newsome has empathy and really cares about the American people. Its hard to find that on the right at this time. Why is that? Its because they are too busy trying to appease a SOCIOPATH!!

There are cities all around California that are trying to help homeless people… But if you interview homeless people 90% of them do not want help people need to get their facts straight they don’t want rules they’re used to living in the streets stop the blame game

You are absolutely right. My daughter is a therapist for transferring homeless people into permanent housing. Many of the people leave housing and go back to the street. It's where they are most comfortable and feel safe.

Well, until a year ago there was not really any way to deal with the homeless from the government point of view, however, the supreme court made sure we can punish them as much as possible for being homeless. So now Gavin could instead jail them for being homeless?... www.npr.org/2024/06/28/n...

npr.orgThe Supreme Court says cities can punish people for sleeping in public placesThe decision is a win for Western cities that wanted more powers to manage record homelessness. But advocates for the unhoused say the decision will do nothing to solve the larger problem

Not at all. Look at the disastrous plight of the poor in red States versus blue States, including California. Everyone knows who's worse for the poor. Republicans. Homelessness affects every state, every city. It's a challenging issue. No one wants encampments on the sidewalks and parks.

Climate,location and Hollywood? As every highway overpass becomes shelter for another homeless community? How much money does the average human need? Let’s ask an American oligarch billionaire like Elon or Jeff how much is enough🤣? Yo Elon is enough💸ever enough for you and your extended“X”family ?❔❓

anyone who doesn't personally destroy homeless people's belongings or doesn't want to throw trans people under the bus is better than Newsom. Off the top of my head: Whitmer, Walz, Pritzker, AOC, Jayapal, Bernie

Not even close. Hes just the easy choice for centrists because they dont want to do the hard work researching candidates. Theyre too busy being afraid of losing rather than making a real difference

He might not be the best, but trashing likely candidates at this point makes me nervous. We can’t lose the next election! (I know we have to separate the wheat from the chaff and all that stuff. It just makes me nervous.)

Build small home communities for the homeless… trailer size homes with water, electricity and sewer! Get them involved in maintaining the community… gardens, grass, garbage, safety! Help them with food and medical treatment and any issues of drug abuse… and help them get jobs! Get them involved!

Still better than any Republican. Newsom or JD Vance? Basically an IQ test. If Gavin gets through the Dem primary, then he is an easy vote in the general.

Misleading... sorry. California ranks 6th in homeless population PER CAPITA. Hawaii is ranked #1 with Washington DC a close #2. Not saying it isn't a problem that needs better solutions, though!

Indeed, California has a staggering problem with homelessness. But the thrust of Newsom's point is about this regime's people who claim to be religious but then turn around and act completely contrary to their books' teachings.

The national economy - tax breaks for the rich - men building private space companies - support yachts for their yachts - lack of healthcare - all these things are result of complex issues not Gavin's sole responsibility

He’s been fighting to build homes with NIMBYs all through Cali which is the only long term solution to homelessness. I give him some credit there even if I think the crackdowns are bad

They are hypocrites. They worship the symbols. They love the flag, the pledge and the anthem, but not the democratic ideals. They want the death penalty for burning a flag, but don't care a bit for what that flag represents. Same with religion. Worship the Bible and cross, but not the teachings.

Separation of church and state. I'm sick of elected representatives trotting out their prayers and bible verses when there are plenty of real life problems to tackle.

True, but the reality is that the "vp" and many other "christians" have thrown away the Bible to worship before the cloven hooves of the GOLDEN CALF... As long as they bask in his soul-eating glow, all is well and right in their world...

Kind of rich words coming from a man who actively persecutes the downtrodden and the least of these in his own state. Newsom's a useful tool in the Turd Reich, but the reason we keep mentioning his failings is so people don't fall for the idea he's somehow better than Trump. He's a cleaner wrapper.

They obviously have never sat across the table with a human who is hungry or homeless or poor. If they did they probably would condemn rather than help them. They’re power hungry lapdogs. (Sorry dogs)

This is so tiring. Morality isn’t based off an imaginary being. If a person needs a God to help them be a decent person and they still can’t develop moral compass… why would theoretical stories help??? Human decency is a choice. When will the crusades end????
