Mark my words, the military will overthrow local government, someplace. The administration will declare the city "failed," and appoint a private corporation to govern.

i thought history was supposed to rhyme, not repeat itself
Pitbull rhymed Kodak with Kodak
This already sort of happened in Texas where the state claimed that cities like Houston had "failed school systems" then appointed right wing toadies to run the district. In several schools they eliminated libraries, replacing them with Discipline Centers. They also make life hell for teachers or just fire them outright and replace them with unqualified ideologues.
The Republicans will definitely use that same process to deprive state and local governments of their autonomy.
A corporation? California will be renamed, “Kirkland” or “Wal-World”, and we’ll all have to get new drivers licenses.
Walt Disney would be fucking fuming right about now. Had he just lived 70 years later, he could've had his privately owned "Disney-State"
Democrats waiting for that other shoe:
they are too busy doing nothing and wishing they were in power so they could have the chance to do nothing to avoid this and do a genocide
In this scenario, the upstairs neighbor is a millipede. Several shoes have dropped. Many more will follow.
Hitler calls in the Wehrmacht to support the Brown shirts. This shit needs to end now. Trump’s fascist regime needs to end now.
Hitler had the brown shirts, trump has the brown pants
There is nothing for them to do.
Wasting our tax dollars so Trump can pretend to be a strong man.
Blatant corruption and deliberate misinterpretation of law.
believing that the US will apply its laws, is like believing in Santa Claus
All 3 judges unanimously rule in favor of Trump. It was an easy common sense ruling.
It will be appealed. It doesn't meet the standards of the Insurrection Act and is illegal.
The left should just take the loss and move on.
In the 30s the French should have taken the L and become Nazi occupied france.
is that what you're saying?
Such a terrible comparison. Trump won in Court because he is right legally.
Are you talking about the 34 count felon seditionous rapist traitor? Yea if there was any actual courts in America he would be in jail.
Fuck you cunts are exhausting really. Please play in traffic.

Common sense tells me that no one was killed before the Ng showed up, no police force asked the Gov for assistance, and there are bigger emergencies in regard to property and loss of life that Trump’s admin has decided not to provide assistance for.
Trump just wants to swing his military like a big, prostatic penis so we can all see what a big man he is.
ICE agents were being attacked. California police didn't want to help. Trump not only have the right but also obligation to use the national guard to protect the ICE agents.
Being attacked? You know just a private citizen one on one can be attacked, but that doesn’t mean that lethal force is warranted. If ice agents were being yelled at and people were throwing tomatoes at them I would not consider that grounds for national guard involvement. And to be honest, unless you’ve got people shooting at ice agents I don’t even know that I would help even if I was the local police. I would expect federal officers to support their own assets in the field. So let’s get some context here who was injured how many and what kind of injuries did they sustain?
I think it’s interesting that on January 6 our nations capital was under attack and nobody thought the national guard was needed at that point…
Tomatoes? You definitely get the facts wrong.
The appeal Court has ruled in favor of Trump based on all the facts.
Did you find an article that you can post here that says the injuries were more serious than getting hit with tomatoes?
If some dipshit in a plate carrier and a mask tried to kidnap me, I'd fight back too.
