“Lock him up,” Tuberville told the news website about Newsom. ”LA looks like a third world country — anarchists are in charge, law enforcement is being attacked, and the rule of law is nonexistent."
An hour later, Newsom took to X to reply to the Alabama politician.
“Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote. “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”
Alabama calling another state a third world country is highly amusing
Even though he is Alabama’s senator, he doesn’t currently, nor did he reside full time in Alabama!
One of the handful of US states who’s unofficial motto is, unironically, “Thank God for Mississippi” really has no room to pass judgement on any state not named Mississippi.
currently the 4 states vying for #1 worst state, florida, alabama, texas, missouri.
Louisiana would like a word.
Was going to say, despite being crazy, FL is actually not as bad off as AL, MS, LA, MO, AR, & WV!
I mean top 4 worst states has to include Florida and Texas. Full stop. The other two are up for debate is all I’m saying.
I thought it was Mississippi and Arkansas at the bottom. Although not for everything, growing up my home state of SD was consistently 51st in the nation for teacher pay (after Puerto Rico). Also one county over had the highest suicide rate in the world 🙃
Stick to football, bro.
Having seen Tuberville as a college football coach, that’s a hard no. Tommy is an idiot and an asshole.
HAA Alabama, the state that’s below the us average for every good metric.
The Alabama Senator is just projecting
Has Alabama Senator ever actually been to Alabama or LA?
Fucking Silicon Valley is in California. Alabama has …? Extreme poverty? Did the Alabama senator die of dramatic irony?
It’s Tubervillian, he’s a complete moron and just an evil asshole in general.
Also, the protests were only on one block. Anything they say to try and make them seem city wide is bad faith from the start.
Alabama has …?
A little thing called the Marshall Space Flight Center. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
So… a federal research center?
Anyone still working there?
That’s state welfare.
The US as a whole is a third world country. Low average income, nearly non-existent health insurance, incredibly bad education (system), high wealth gap, fascism, insanely bad labor laws, the list goes on and on…
Low median* income. The income distribution is skewed since a handful of people have all the money.
Also don’t forget this:
You’re right 👍
If you’re going to be pedantic, please be correct.
Median is a type of average, as are mean and mode.
I’m not being pedantic, you’re just wrong. The average income in the US is deceptively high, whereas the median is quite low. This difference (or skew) is a sign of inequality.
The arithmetic mean, also called the average, or the expected value, is not the same type of calculation as the median.
There are many types of means or averages (harmonic, geometric, etc), but they all require a summation, an integral for continuous random variables and sigma notation for discrete. The median is the middle value. Totally different.
If you want me to link you to a dictionary definition that explicitly says what I’m telling you, I will. But I hope you know just repeating yourself is not rather convincing.
-
If someone checks “US average income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are rich.
-
If someone checks “US median income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are poor.
Median is not the same as average. Also, we don’t check math definitions in a dictionary, since we are not in middle school.

You sound like a llm
basically just a russia with a gucci belt.
Gavin has stepped up.
I never thought they’d manage to make Gavin Newsom of all people look decent, but that’s just what happens when you live in the Dumbest Timeline™️ I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
He’s an opportunist. I like what he’s doing rn, but not the man or the reasons he’s doing it.
At least Californians family tress have branches
Lol Alabama family trees are more like telephone poles
North and South reloaded. Clash of cultures and mindsets within one country. Well… 🤷🏼♂️
There are a number of conservatives who straddle a line such that I can’t be sure if they’re genuinely stupid or if they’re just cultivating that image.
Tuberville isn’t one of them though.
Politicians keyboard warrioring over Twitter was not on my bingo card
I mean, it’s not that shocking tho, is it?
Weird
People in ramshackle hovels shouldn’t throw stones.
Its depressing that this is considered newsworthy, and not utterly embarrassing for both parties involved to resort to middle school one-upping.
You know, like two months ago everyone was crying that Democrats don’t do enough fighting back against Republicans and your comment has me thinking “well this is why they didn’t.”
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
People always say don’t sink to their level but the problem is you need to communicate with people at their level in a way they understand.
Making headlines by having the equivalent of a twitter fight does nothing to prevent harm. You know what would? Newsom ordering the national guard to return to base and reminding them that they will be prosecuted under state law for following unlawful orders.
Why not both? I imagine he’d considered that already and probably found that it wouldn’t pan out but we don’t exactly know that.
Don’t you fucking dare try to “both sides” this shit.
One side is eagerly throating fascisms cock, the other isn’t - regardless of any other flaws, there’s a clear difference.
Your ignorant, no critical thinking applied parroting of a stupid inaccurate phrase hurts all of us. Be better or don’t speak at all.
Don’t throw stones if you live in a garbage house 🤷🏻♀️ not a hard concept
when i read
California Gov. Gavin Newsom clapped back…
i imagined newsom twerking. i hate this.
If you hate that, you’ll claw your eyes out when you see him lying on the floor with Kimberly Guilfoyle for a magazine spread.
Hmm. Are intrusive thoughts memes struggling to be born? Not in this case, I hope.
Sick burn, but it’ll take more than a few clever quips to make me forget that Gavin Newsom hangs out with the likes of Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk and spews right-wing anti-trans talking points.
Hangs out with…? You mean engaged with on a podcast such that MAGA spazzes who like those guys might actually hear from Newsom things they’d never hear on Fox.
