Gov Newsom warns as Trump moves to take over the California National Guard




The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.

The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.

This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.

to distract from the Elon debacle and please the base.

I guess Newsom can't stop him.

Like above said,...

It makes him feel like a tough guy thug alpha male macho man.

Then he runs and puts on his makeup, spritzes some hairspray, then drowns himself in Jean Nate' because he shit his diaper and the odor is rank.

But not sure he can do more than talk.

My guess is that Trump is all talk and won't deputize the guard.

I'm so sick of law enforcement agencies and the military going after people who are trying to protect their constitutional rights and yet they fucking coddle nazi's, white supremacists, anti-choice activists and their domestic terrorists.

Law enforcement agencies need to clean up their fucking houses before trying to tell Americans and law abiding citizens what to do.

The guard should stand with the people and not the fucking criminally riddled agencies.

declare a national security emergency in California and send in troops. Yes he might lose in court but he may not back down. I think he's gone further around the bend than we even realize. He and Stephen "Himmler" firmly believe there are tens of millions of undocumented people here sucking up benefits and voting. It is an obsession with them.

all caused by his insane fucked-up economics tariffs policies. That economic mess is quickly spiraling out of anyone's control in his inept administration. Cutting the interest rate is not going to change the downward spiral of his failed economic policies. The next step is martial law to keep control of power as the aggrieved masses of the American people will demand his impeachment and removal from office.

up and firing canisters, all decked out in their SEAL outfits.
One of them was about 4’9”” tall. My guess is that was deputized Rittenhouse. Seems we will be paying that murderer to kill more of us.
