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.

I wasnt aware the DOJ could order judges to find in certain ways in cases.

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] 15 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

Arrogant shits, aren't they?

[–] [email protected] 85 points 2 days ago (37 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 20 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 19 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 20 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 19 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 19 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 19 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 (7 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.

The DOJ attorney emphasized that “sustained mob violence” in response to ICE raids is “no ordinary civil unrest,” claimed that it is ongoing, and asserted that such violence is “expressly aimed at preventing federal officers from enforcing federal law,” supporting Trump’s federalization of the Golden State’s National Guard.

That's just a lie, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 101 points 3 days ago

Isn't everything the fascist assholes say a lie?

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

This is dictatorship. It's mild only because no one is fighting back. The moment someone tries the gloves will come off.

well, what did the ninth circuit have to say in response?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Either "We agree, he can do that" or "No, he can't do that." In either case, he will do that and nobody will stop him.

[–] [email protected] 106 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Telling the court that the court has no say. Bold move Cotton….
