He also said that no one died on January 6, that Kim Jong Un liked him more than Biden Harris (which, okay, point given?), that he’s way up in the polls and that his ear lobe was healing well, when that isn’t even where he pretends to have been shot.

Not a peep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yastreblyansky.bsky.social•199 days ago

Also the story was a lie for all values of "Brown", including Young Goodman Brown, Tom Brown with the schooldays at Rugby, and Mrs. Brown with the lovely daughter. And my nephew-in-law Zach Brown for that matter. No Browns were harmed in the crafting of this calumny.

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•199 days ago

We can debate Jerry Brown all day long but Runnin On Empty is his best work

evbp.bsky.social•199 days ago

The same Jerry Brown from “California Uber Alles”?

natteringnaybob.bsky.social•199 days ago

Maybe he thought he almost went down ON Willie Brown?

mistyksnow.bsky.social•199 days ago

There is such a double standard in how the media covers Trump.

delbertgseasons.bsky.social•199 days ago

Twas merely an errant account, you see

chriseats.bsky.social•199 days ago

Because that fuck generates ratings, clicks, and dollars for them.

dustyponcho.bsky.social•199 days ago

I'm happy to see other people besides myself calling fascists degenerate lol

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

In my time in California I met both Willie Brown and Jerry Brown and I promise you I would not mix them up.

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

Jerry was the weird dude in exile with this very odd French guy who was some sort of handler/advisor; Willie was the impossibly smooth guy who was at a wedding I was at for some reason.

subpoenis.bsky.social•199 days ago

A long while ago I walked out of that restaurant next to the Ferry Building (they were a client) and as I open the door Willie walked right past me. He was such a cool mf'er that I couldn't get up the nerve to say "hello". He's just walking down the Embarcadero alone being smooth as hell.

drprunesquallor.bsky.social•199 days ago

Ooh, this is the first I've heard of the very odd French guy!

drprunesquallor.bsky.social•199 days ago

And he got a Times obit! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/us/jacques-barzaghi-dead.html

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

hah! that's him, I met that dude

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

beret and all

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

just to make it even weirder, the time I met with Jerry Brown I was with my friend Larry Smith, i.e. the real-life Larry from Orange is the New Black (a show I never watched because the dissonance between knowing the people it was based on and the fictional version was too strange)

dsrouse.bsky.social•199 days ago

I suspect he said Willie because Willie and Kamala went on a few dates (I think?) back before Doug and he's obsessed with that shit

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

yeah they were an item and that's what he was trying to get at (derogatory) but then he confused his Browns

theotherjim.bsky.social•198 days ago

The people he's substituting for the actual people are getting progressively darker. Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi, and now Willie Brown for Jerry Brown.

josephpbelli.bsky.social•199 days ago

By his next rally he’ll be linking her with Charlie Brown.

Whether that happens before or after his homage to Hannibal Lecter is anyone’s guess.

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

didn't take any helicopter rides with either

salamurai.bsky.social•199 days ago

Missed opportunity
Think of the story you could've make up

cjlemire.com•199 days ago

Probably wise

misterdevans.bsky.social•199 days ago

You dodged a bullet there.

yuweiquan.bsky.social•199 days ago

Oh my god, this description is perfect

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

Jerry or Willie?

yuweiquan.bsky.social•199 days ago

BOTH

tomtomorrow.bsky.social•199 days ago

guru, is the word I should have used, the french dude was some sort of weird guru

paperhaus.bsky.social•199 days ago

I didn't know Jerry Brown ever rode in a helicopter with T.

The French dude was Jacques Barzaghi. He had no shortage of ego. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/us/jacques-barzaghi-dead.html

rhabyt.bsky.social•199 days ago

Oh yeah, Jacques Barzaghi! I met him too when I had some art in a show in Oakland City Hall. He was a real character!

tristanbuckner.bsky.social•199 days ago

One could maybe do it when their mayoral tenures were overlapping and one was just listing Bay Area mayors non-visually.

walkingtaako.bsky.social•199 days ago

Sure, the ie vs the y makes it obvious who is who

sondy.com•199 days ago

Yeah, Jerry’s aura smiles and never frowns. Pretty distinct.

blueshiftnz.bsky.social•199 days ago

Pretty sure the Dead Kennedys didn't write a song about Willie Brown. But the one they wrote about Jerry has several bits that apply to Trump as well.

jhfhockey.bsky.social•199 days ago

If only we had a decent media

virginiaopossum.bsky.social•198 days ago

My theory is that he just didn't ever know they were two different people. He thought Kamala dated Jerry Brown, because, I mean, how many people named "Brown" could there possibly be in California?

carlgt1.bsky.social•198 days ago

Well they look so much alike

a2l112.bsky.social•197 days ago

All the browns are the same to him

rayanselmo.bsky.social•199 days ago

Well, you know - to the Insane Racist Toddler, all Brown people look alike.

jrodbad.bsky.social•199 days ago

I don't even know how you manage to confuse the two. Never mind the dramatizations of the rest of the story. How do you manage to confuse two people so starkly different?

anti-you.bsky.social•199 days ago

I’m surprised Trump doesn’t think Linda Rondstadt is running for president.

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•199 days ago

Oh just wait. I'm guessing that's coming.

smutclyde.bsky.social•198 days ago

Radio Yerevan has been contacted for comment.

jerryn13.bsky.social•199 days ago

Like I said elsewhere, all those brown folks look alike to Donnie.

futureed.bsky.social•199 days ago

[reads]

(what?)

[reads again]

snicker

bchebyshev.bsky.social•198 days ago

I don't want to be pedantic, but in the modern political landscape "brainstormed degenerate" actually isn't descriptive enough to know which presidential candidate you're talking about.

That seems like a bad thing.

tofuttibreak.bsky.social•199 days ago

“Little resemblance” lolllllll
