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.

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

    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.

      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.

        They’re not the ones I’m addressing myself to. I’m addressing myself to people like you. Are you just going to shrug and say “Oh well, it is what it is” or fucking act.

        They’re relying on people like you to react that way and give up. YOU should be getting a fucking rifle and getting like-minded people to get together and walk the streets together to show you mean business and you’re not going to let them walk all over you.

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

    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.
