And THIS is what the 2nd amendment is actually for. California needs its own state-run militia to defend its territory from Federal overreach.
It was never about individual civilians owning weapons. All that would do, is give Trump a justification to invoke the Insurrection Act. But if the State of California itself is armed against tyranny, then the people's rights are being defended.
Way to show the world your spine, Sweden. Too bad you're standing up to the wrong people.
Escalation to violence is exactly what they want. It gives them all the justification they need to invoke the Insurrection Act, declare martial law and suspend your Constitutional rights. And not just in California.
Why are none of these articles saying, "Trump breaks the law, by deploying active military personnel on US soil, in clear violation of the Constitution"?
How fucking hard is it for them to simply tell the truth?
This is what the internet is for.
Russia has no one to blame but Putin, for NATO getting so close to their borders.
“But you have a governor who let the city burn down, didn’t want water to be sent down to him,” Trump complained about Newsom and January’s wildfires. “I mean, I sent billions of gallons of water. I wanted to do it in the first term. He wouldn’t do it over. I don’t know, they have environmental reasons, but there were no environmental reasons. It’s, I think it’s just a political philosophy. But it’s lucky for the people in Los Angeles and in California that we did what we did.”
They dumped an entire reservoir full of water designed for agriculture purposes, into the fucking ocean! That reservoir didn't even connect to LA's supply.
Did Trump declare martial law while I was asleep? Because last time I checked, he can't deploy the military on US soil unless the country is in a state of emergency. And peaceful protests don't count.
...but, did it work?
Well...the Saudis do pay more. /s
There is an implied contract between the States and the Federal government regarding taxation. The Federal government cannot cut funding to a State and still expect them to keep their end of that agreement.
The people setting those fires should absolutely be charged for their actions. But their actions don't negate the Constitutional rights of everyone else who is protesting. And calling in the National guard before the local authorities have declared the situation to be out of their control, is a direct violation of Constitutional law.
