Rep. Eric Swalwell is Running for California Governor
I cannot stop laughing.
LOL.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) jumped into the California governor’s race.
This guy is one of the most insufferable persons in Congress. He tried to run for president and went nowhere. He seems to think he’s way more important than he genuinely is.
Delusions of grandeur.
Swallwell made the announcement on Jimmy Kimmel’s show because of course.
But Swalwell’s announcement video lists two jobs facing the next California governor.
Is the first one to concentrate on the state? Nope. EHRMEHGERD DONALD TRUMP:
I’m Eric Swalwell, and it’s this simple. The next Governor of California has two jobs.
One, keep the worst president in our history out of our homes, out of our streets, and out of our lives. Buying food at the grocery store is getting more expensive. No one will keep Californians safer than I will. No one. Nancy Pelosi selected me for the Intelligence Committee and to help lead the impeachment of a corrupt president. Californians will never bend the knee.
And two, bring us a new California. California is the fourth largest economy in the world, so shouldn’t we be a state where you can take your first job, have your first kid and buy your first home in the same decade and one where you can fill that home with food and flood it with light?
I’m Eric Swawell. We can build ourselves a new California that we can share in together

Yeah, um, former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy kicked you off that intelligence committee in 2023, but it was time for him to be rotated off the committee.
But even if it wasn’t Swalwell’s time, I’m pretty sure McCarthy would have done it, considering the news in 2020 concerning Swalwell and a Chinese spy.
Who could forget Fang Fang?
There is no evidence that Swalwell slept with Fang Fang or had a romantic relationship with her, though.
Let’s not forget that the DOJ has a referral to investigate Swalwell for possible mortgage and tax fraud.

Comments
What I got out of his comedic statement is that he thinks the current governor is doing a crappy job. I concur.
LMAO. LOL, even. — Snagglepuss
Babylon Bee parody, the best they’ve ever done.
Alternative headline: Eric Swalwell(D), the allegedly not-ghey cousin of California Gov. Gavin Newsom(D), announced that he is running for governor of California on a platform of ‘you will eat the bugs, own nothing, and hate Donald Trump.
Just ask the Palisades homeowners how great it felt to flood their homes with light.
imagine the debates!!
but you slept with chinese spies
but you let our state burn and you violated your own covid rules
Will Xi be endorsing Swalwell before or after Thanksgiving?
Will Fang Fang campaign for him?
The very biggest laugh? He will win.
I live in CA … regrettably … and I sure ain’t laughin’.
“Keep Californians safe!”
Elect more Democrats!
you (sometimes) run for office not because/c you even care to win or think you can
but the money that pours in
the airtime
the buttkissing
etc
the power trip
good move but the swallowswell
correction: by the
His candidacy won’t amount to a fart in the wind.
He’s got so much more where that came from.
If that’s what the contest really boils down to, he’ll win it.
And CA descent into hell continues………
He sort of embodies everything that’s wrong about California. So, perfect fit.
California can’t catch a break.
It’s a toss-up. May the best socialist win.
Good. The more the merrier. Governor of CA is a big prize. But only 2 of them will make it through the CA jungle primary and get to the general election.
California is the fourth largest economy in the world…..

As a former accountant, this kind of crap makes my eye twitch.
These maps are almost always based on GDP. The average person who shares them has zero concept of what GDP actually measures.
There are four things included in GDP.
One of those is exports. Notice that most of those blue spots on the first map is a port. This is such a ridiculous no brainer, but people are stupid. This is an autowin for California every time they do that whole “California has the 7th largest economy in the world” crap.
How is that calculated usually? From where the product leaves. Not from where it’s grown, harvest, dug up, or constructed.
Me: At least things can’t get worse after Newsom.
World: Hey, Eric Swalwell is going to be the next governor.
Me: (invests in U-Haul)
What’s his slogan? “Vote for Fang Fang’s boyfriend?
“I did nothing in Congress, I can do the same for California” … Actually, that one would be a huge improvement
I looked at the dem field so far, Becerra, Porter, Steyer on the dem side alone, California has an open primary where the two with the top vote total advance to the general regardless of party. The repubs need to get behind a single candidate and not split their vote.
I have no idea why Swalwell would leave his vert safe house seat for a difficult road to Sacramento. Then again maybe he knows his time is DC is about to be exposed,
I can’t see this guy having any ability to run a state.
“Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!”
