During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

The time to rebel is now

These people want you dead

Arm yourselves.

Do not go quietly when they come for you

Drag one with you to your grave

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

My state says I have to pay a tax, do live fire training, get 2 background checks and wait several weeks before I can arm myself.

Guess we will just die.

Oh and I can't carry it virtually anywhere. Maybe to the range if its unloaded and locked and ammunition stored somewhere separately.

Did I also mention I am limited to 10 or less rounds?

I was going to add something else but there is a kiaboy with an autoswitch glock and extended mag tapping on my window while I type this.

Breaking an immoral law is no crime.

2A is in our constitution.

Fucking preach, I wish more people in California recognized this

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't the national guard supposed to be a state level militia?

Makes zero sense that the federal government should dictate where and how they are used. The feds should be going to states and asking to borrow their militia for whatever happens, typically national disaster response and not murdering political dissenters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

National Guard is part of the Army which is typically composed of reserve units. They are a state militia that report to the State and to the Federal Government. Most of their assets are federal assets. The governor can activate the national guard in a state of emergency without waiting on the president. However, the president can take over if a national emergency is declared or during war time for redeployment. Orange Chicken Little has manufactured a national crisis that is the "Invasion of Illegals". They are basically trying to strong arm dismantling the Posse Comitatus Act and bypass congress. Once that happens you can't impeach the Donvict because he is overseeing a national crisis.

quashing protests, will eventually leader to larger protests and then uprising, and maybe a rebellion eventually.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

Arrogant shits, aren't they?

[–] [email protected] 85 points 2 days ago (36 children)

That's fascism, folks.

Arm yourselves.

Also, maybe don't do something dumb like vote 3rd party or abstain from voting next time around. Y'all were warned. Now it's happening.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Look, if the only plan to stop the fascist uprising that has been building for decades was "win every election forever", then there was no fucking plan. This shit was going to happen at some point.

Stop scolding people for not falling in line with you and start figuring out what to do next.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nah dawg. I'm going to scold dumbfucks that checked out or voted for a candidate that could not, under any circumstances, win, allowing a felon rapist traitor and his treasonous party to bring fascism to our nation.

Because they deserve to be spoken down to. Because they're idiots. Because they chose to place their perceived moral superiority over the wellbeing of our country.

They were warned. Now it's happening. Defending them is not exactly an intelligent thing to do.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

What's really unintelligent is rehashing grudges over and over again and further alienating exactly the people whose help you need to fix this mess. But what do I know?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"Arm yourselves" and liberal vote-scolding in the same comment. Incredible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe you shouldn't arm yourself. You're not very smart.

And yeah, I'm going to scold the dumbfucks that chose to place their perceived moral superiority over the wellbeing of their country. Because they deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh, I'm armed and I train. I even train other people! I won't train genocide apologists or any other flavor of fascist though.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

liberal vote scolding

Oh have you guys come up with a cute name that lets you dismiss it easier?

It isn't just liberals that are pissed at people like you, and your characterization is bullshit.

Unless the new definition du jour of "liberal" is "someone who was able to understand their own electoral system enough to vote for Kamala Harris instead of handing power to literal fascists"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Have you losers come up with a plan to win elections?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Have you come up with a plan to do something other than whine like a little bitch while presenting no solutions whatsoever?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

If you read back through these honestly, I'm sure you see which of us comes off as whiny. Also, best I can tell, your solution is to build a time machine, and go back to November and yell at people even harder.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What do you think the goal of elections is? Just to "win"? This very post demonstrates military force against our own citizens--are you ok with that? I think it's something we should all be opposing.

We're all losing when we lose fundamentals of our democracy and our right to protest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's ironic of you to ask me what the goal of elections is. As far as I can tell, democrats worship the status quo and civility. I used to think that democrats didn't utilize political power when they had it, because that would be "tacky" or something. Now I've seen enough to realize that they don't really want to change anything. If you keep voting for people like that, what can you possibly hope to achieve, aside from just to "win"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

democrats worship the status quo and civility.

I like those things. Those are both better than fascism. Wish the dumbfucks that abstained from voting or voted 3rd party could understand that. With how much you're pushing back and whining, I'm assuming you're one of those dumbfucks.

Spoiler Alert: The 3rd party candidate with the most votes was magician Jill Stein, who magically appears right before every election, then magically disappears again afterwards. She got a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast.

So unless you're braindead, you'd realize that America is nowhere near being over this 2-party thing. So voting 3rd party is FUUUUUUUUCKING STUPID, especially when one of the options is a FUCKING FASCIST.

You want more parties? Get off your fucking ass and help one start winning local/state elections so they can start actually having less than zero members in Congress so they can maybe one day run a presidential candidate that can win.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

The status quo is fascism. Civility with fascists is fascism. Your team gives the impression that as long as the bad stuff happens overseas or in poor neighborhoods, and you aren't forced to look at it, then all is right with the world. You're upset because a few million people refuse to cosign terror and genocide, while I'm upset that hundreds of millions are so willing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's ironic that you're lecturing "democrats" on worshipping the status quo while parroting the current right wing status quo propaganda. If you ignore what the media says, and instead look at actual votes (congress.gov) or watch congressional sessions on cspan, it should be very clear that a good amount of democrats tend to be the ones trying to govern, while the right wingers are constantly sabotaging everything they do in the name of corporate profit, then blaming dem's for the fallout from whatever shitty thing the right wingers did instead of what the dem's wanted.

Can't tell you how many times I've watched dems lay out thoroughly researched, thoughtful plans on policy, or thoroughly explain how the policies the far-right implemented are screwing working-class Americans, only to have some right winger passionately "rebut" their arguments with complete nonsense, get their 5 second media clips, then sit down and stare at their phones not paying attention until it's their time to talk again.

Everything they tell you dem's are doing, they're the ones doing it. And now they're telling you that what I'm saying is what OUR propaganda is telling us. It's all bullshit. I've been watching the behind the scenes stuff for almost 10 years. It's been this way the entire time. And btw, I started doing this because I used to consider myself a libertarian until I started noticing the lies. Particularly how the party of "individual freedom" fought so hard against same sex marriage (a freedom heteros have, that every INDIVIDUAL of legal age should have). I bought completely into the propaganda and didn't realize how far I was from understanding what was actually going on until I really started questioning everything. I hope you can muster the intellectual honesty to question things in a similar way.

Do you want a rebellion? Cause this how you get rebellions

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Yes, they do, because it will distract from the US joining a war in Iran, and from all of trumps other crimes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The foreign wars arent the point. The foreign wars are a means to an end

The end. Is being able to isolate one's self from the rest of the world. Enjoy perpetual dictatorial rule through martial law. And rule your corner of the world like an absolute monarchy. The other parts of the world can deal with their own regional warlords like Russia and China

The foreign wars. Like starting a war with Iran. Are likely going to be used as a vehicle to declare martial law in the USA. And once that happens. Trump is never going away until death takes him
