    NO THAT IS NOT TRUE ABOUT NEWSOM AND HOMELESS. ARE YOU FKNG KIDDING ME YOU UNINFORMED YOUNGER WOMEN!!!!! YOU DO NOT KNOW HIS HISTORY. HE BUSTED HIS ASS IN SAN FRANCISCO AS MAYOR ON THE HOMELESS ISSUE. HE TRIED EVERYTHING AND WE HAD ALL TYPES OF POSITIVE PROGRAMS: FREE MEDICAL, FREE SHELTERS, FREE FOOD KITCHENS. The problem is having put so much energy into it and sorry BUT STREET PEOPLE OFTEN DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR INDEPENDENCE. That may have shaped "what you think of his approach". BUT I REALLY WLL FIGHT TO DEFEND HIS RECORD CUZ I WATCHED HIM WORK HIS ASS OFF. PLUS HE BROUGHT UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE TO THE CITIZENS OF SAN Francisco – CAN YOU PLEASE READ THIS?? YOU ALL YOUNGER ONES ARE FULL OF MIS-INFORMATION OR YOU DID NOT READ UP ON HIS. I AM A KAMALA SUPPORTER. BUT I WILL VOUCH FOR GAVIN AS HE GREW UP ON OLD SAN FRANCISCO. HIS FATHER WAS A JUDGE, NOT A BILLIONAIRE. OLD SAN FRANCISCO VALUES WERE ABOUT INTELLIGENCE, NOT FLASH. SO TO HEAR YOU YOUNGER WOMEN SOUND SO CLUELESS AS TO WHO HE IS AT THE CORE -I WILL CONTINUE TO AT LEAST SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT. HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR OFFICE. IF THE ATTENTION BRINGS HIM SOMETHING THEN SO BE IT. IT ISN'T THE WORSE THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO AMERICA

    Thank you both sooo much for this work. Sorry for not commenting on more of your videos—they're wonderful and I usually just listen to them while I'm mowing the lawn or something (so hard to comment in that context). Lovely work, and again, thank you for doing it. ~Ian

    I'm drinking as much as possible now that Trump is still alive. I pray everyday this satanist, his satanist family , the satanist Republicans, and Satanist Democrats go away

    At a time when immigrants in the US are being so badly harassed and Republicans and maga are constantly railing against them, why is it that nobody talking about the first lady Melania Trump being an immigrant herself from Yugoslavia and had been sext trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and introduced to Donald Trump?

    Alright — here’s a clear breakdown of why Donald Trump can be understood as a fool, not in the playful sense of a jester, but in the deeper philosophical sense of one who confuses delusion for wisdom.

    1. He Mistakes Wealth for Wisdom 💵➡️🧠

    Trump believes that because he inherited money and made deals, he possesses insight into all domains — government, science, ethics. That’s folly. Wealth is not wisdom. By equating money with truth, he exposes himself as a fool whose empire rests on credit and image.

    2. He Lies as Default 🎭

    Trump doesn’t just bend truth — he manufactures unreality. Fact-checkers catalog thousands of falsehoods. In classical philosophy, the fool is one who cannot distinguish reality from performance. By flooding the public with lies, Trump turns discourse into theater, making himself the chief clown in his own circus.

    3. He Worships Optics Over Substance 📺

    To him, a photo-op is more important than a policy, a slogan more powerful than a law. He governs as a brand, not as a steward. Plato warned that democracy without virtue collapses into spectacle; Trump embodies that collapse.

    4. He Destroys What He Claims to Defend 🪞

    He wraps himself in flags, faith, and “the people” — yet undermines democracy, ridicules compassion, and divides the very public he claims to champion. A fool is not just ignorant; he is self-destructive, corroding the foundations beneath his own feet.

    5. He Confuses Fear with Strength ⚡

    Trump bullies, mocks, and threatens, imagining this makes him powerful. But true strength is service, discipline, and foresight. His rage only exposes fragility. The fool always mistakes intimidation for authority.

    6. He Is a Prisoner of Ego 🌀

    Every decision, every statement loops back to “me, me, me.”
    • He cannot admit error.
    • He cannot endure criticism.
    • He cannot see beyond his own reflection.
    The fool is trapped in the mirror of ego, blind to the world beyond himself.

    7. He Profits from Ignorance 📢

    Trump thrives because systems — political, corporate, media — reward spectacle and deceit. He didn’t create mass ignorance, but he rides it, inflames it, and monetizes it. The true fool is also a mirror: he reflects the ignorance of the crowd back to them, crowned in their applause.

    ✅ Final Declaration:
    Trump is a fool not because he lacks cunning — he has cunning in abundance — but because his cunning corrodes truth, his lies devour reality, and his ego blinds him to wisdom. He embodies the ancient warning: the fool who would be king becomes the gravedigger of his own realm.

    It’s a lot kit deeper than homelessness, Erin. He’s not progressive at all. Look at how he betrays the transgender community, he platformed 3 YT supremacist nutjobs too. Great that he’s trolling Trump but you’re overestimating his political views.

    Look, I'm on your side, but please, please, please STOP LOOKS SHAMING everyone we don't like! It does not help us and in fact hurts many of us who detest what the GOP and Trump and MAGAs are doing. Being born pretty or handsome does not make one good and being born traditionally or culturally "ugly" is not a marker for people being assholes. There are many people who, like me, were born with shitty genes, as far as looks go, but we are ON YOUR SIDE and HATE what MAGA and the GOP are doing. If you keep fat shaming, "ugly" shaming, etc; you are going to push away your support.

    Is Newsom perfect? Absolutely not, but better than majority of Republicans. Especially the orange wannabe king. At most with Newsom's Trump like social media campaign is some of the Trumpers wake up and realize how ridiculous Trump actually is.
