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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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?
