California governor Gavin Newsom says the state will draw new electoral maps after Donald Trump “missed” a deadline on Tuesday night in an ongoing redistricting battle between Democratic and Republican states.

“DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!!”, Newsom’s office wrote on social media. “CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS,’ THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!)”.

“BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR ‘MAGA.’ THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN,” reads the post.

    This is how we needed to be dealing with Trump.

    Maybe they will realize how insane Trump is when they see other people behaving the same way.

        Not groping all over right? I have it on good authority that they only need to be grabbed by the pussy.

          it’s not funny when they joke about sexual assault and it’s also not funny when people who you think would know better joke about sexual assault either. Probably the same people upvoting this trash that wonder why online spaces like this are such a sausage party. gee I wonder.

      This is how we need to be dealing with Republicans. Let’s not pretend Trump is the source of the insanity or that it will be over when he goes away.

        MAGA will implode when Trump croaks. They’ve spent nearly a decade propping up their faith in the man, lying to themselves that everything he does is OK. No one else will get that sort of devotion.
