    This is another step in Project 2025

    Provoke outrage with the mass deportations, then use that outrage to justify marshal law and deploying the military.

    The biggest national security threats are Trump, the Heritage Foundation, MAGA, and Musk

        There might be some bigger threats to the world elsewhere. Ever wonder WHY we’re sending so much money to- shot by a sniper

        Hey don’t trow indigenous groups, animals, fungi and plants it to this.

        The problem seems to be specifically people that live with computers.

          I think you misunderstood. They are saying Trump and those in his cult/admin are a danger to everyone and everything. Do you think the MAGA movement isn’t a threat to indigenous groups, animals, or nature at large? Just the way they’ve already attacked environmental protections should show they check every checkbox.

            Oh indeed, i thought they where saying humans are toxic and over generalized to “everyone alive” holding part of the blame.

            Definitely misunderstood.

    Governor Newsome should release a statement that he and his cabinet will be discussing the effects of a possible change in State structure. If the world’s 4th largest economy were to secede from the Union, frumpy would be screwed.

      Just wondering: if California just stopped paying federal taxes would the net effect be the same? That way they haven’t gone through the process of seceding, but at the same time they are refusing to entirely be part of the union.

        Also, it was the conservatives who helped weaken unions by making dues optional but forcing the union to represent non-payers anyways. Sounds perfect here. California can just stop paying, but get the protection and benefits of a tax paying state.

        Plus, conservatives would absolutely fucking love this if it was Texas threatening not to pay taxes if their money goes to doctors who preform abortions or some other equally absurd shit.

        Since we have allowed the Presidency to become a joke why not our whole nation. /S

    The country was in peril; he was jeopardizing his traditional rights of freedom and independence by daring to exercise them.

    The Confederacy was in a state of rebellion too. He’s equated standing up to ICE, which is seemingly similar to when the Bostonians stood up to and were massacred by the British, with the Confederate’s bombing of Ft. Sumter.

    According to trump anyone that uses more than 0% of their brain and anything about a 3 letter word is in rebellion of him.
