I saw this video as I was thinking about what to write this morning, and it struck me as the absolutely perfect intro for Sunday Smiles.
BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom: “There is nothing I dislike more than a politician who sits there and lies to you.” pic.twitter.com/W19ywklwIJ

It’s as if the folks at the Babylon Bee had scripted Gavin Newsom’s words for him. And, for that matter, the non-reaction from Kristen Welker of Meet The Press was so on-brand as to be akin to parody.
What particularly stood out is how both Newsom and Welker seemed to be in a shared joke. Newsom had the self-satisfied look that came close to a smirk as he gaslit the audience.
Gavin Newsom just blatantly lied about Prop. 50 on Meet the Press. He said, “the maps are in the ballot, they’re there in front of the voters.” Here is my ballot. Do you see a map? pic.twitter.com/t6qCQRA9hm

Newsom knew he was lying. Welker knew he was lying. I assume that a fair number of Democrats are well aware that their “leaders” are lying.
So what does this say about them? Easy: they have contempt for the chumps who believe that they are being dealt with in good faith.
There’s always some of that in politics, of course. You expect politicians to “spin.” What makes this charade so odious is that Pravda sees its job as pushing the lies as credible because it has contempt for its audience. Politicians will do what they can get away with. Many, like Newsom, are con men.
What’s infuriating is that the media, which claim to police the con men, are in on the corruption. They give the stamp of approval to Newsom, when if they did their jobs he could be torn apart and embarrassed in about 2 minutes.
“Roll tape” is all that would be needed. Newsom lies so often that any competent media figure could rip him apart with little effort should they so choose.
Instead, Welker allows Newsom to smirk at the audience and declare that he is appalled at lying politicians.
Barf.
