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.

U.S. Circuit Judges Mark Bennett and Eric Miller, both appointees of President Donald Trump, and Jennifer Sung, an appointee of President Joe Biden, presided over the hearing, which began at noon on the West Coast.

    So they really plan to keep escalating what they’re doing until rebellion happens. And instead of trying to not piss off the entire population to not get a rebellion, they instead prepare to fight the population.

    They’re literally orchestrating a civil war and they know it.

      This is the only practical way to make Nazi Germany happen in America. Either Americans will fold, hence Nazi Germany, or they’ll bite and you have a civil war/revolution they hope to bring about Nazi Germany by suppressing.

      Trumpistan doesn’t intend to face another election. He’s here for the last chance; it’s grab power now or fail forever. And he knows it, that’s why he acts like that. The medicaid cuts are widely unpopular, but he doesn’t care what voters think anymore.

      You make the mistake of thinking all of this is happening against the Americans’ will.

      The magats like this when it happens to others. Until the fascists come for them that is, and then they’ll bitch and moan that it isn’t what they voted for. But it’ll be too late at that point.

      Just like the Germans 90 years ago.

          YOU should be getting a fucking rifle and getting like-minded people to get together

            While you’re waiting, innocent people are going to die. Your inaction is actively aiding the fascists.

              👆 This.

              “Oh you’re inciting violence.”

              Yes I am. Because MAGAts are already shooting up gay bars and clubs, assaulting and killing elected democrat politicians and holding fucking neo-Nazi marches against the LGBT. The Trump administration is already using violence. They’re sending ICE to kidnap both legal and illegal immigrants that have constitutional rights and sending them to prisons in foreign countries without a warrant or even a trial. They’re sending the fucking national guard and the matines against your asses and building alligator Alcatraz to hold you there. And Trump and his goons are saying the Supreme Court judges can’t stop him if he does anything illegal or unconstitutional. He’s gone full dictator.

              If that’s not reason enough for people to start bearing arms, then I don’t know what does and you guys and everybody else in the world are fucked.

              If YOU don’t bear arms, soon I’ll have to, in order to kill your asses when you start invading Canada. And I swear to you that I won’t hesitate to pull that trigger.

    Are these people so ignorant of history that they do not see who they’re imitating? or do they, and they do it knowingly?

        the second Reich was imperial Germany after it was united by Otto von Bismarck in 1871, who created the first proto-Germany state. The first Reich btw was the Holy Roman Empire Of German Nation. What you are looking for is the 4th Reich.

          The HRE is just the HRE. People generally know you don’t mean Charlemagne’s version because that’s referred to as the Carolingian empire.

          Plus that’s not how they referred to themselves so it sounds like you’re about to start talking about Aryanism next.

    Police should stop and hinder ICE conductions; after all they have the duty to protect people from illegal harm. And ICE is clearly doing illegal things.

    I’m so sorry, my friends. Always remember it does not have to be like this, and carry it like a torch in the night.
