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.

    Yup. Until they take responsibility for the impact of their ego stroking and try to do anything at all to help, we’re not going to let the people just shy of collaborators forget it.

        How do you read “take responsibility for their impact” and then jump to “solely to blame.” I swear people just hear what they want so they have a reason to be angry.

          Are they to blame, or are they small enough to ignore?

          Which one? I get that you want both. But you only get one.

            I’m curious as to why you think you have the kind of authority in anyone’s life to tell them they have to decide between two dipshit choices you present them.

            These dumbfucks made an incredibly stupid decision, whether they ended up being too small a group to make the difference or not. They’re still dumbfucks that chose their own perceived moral superiority over the wellbeing of their country.

              Choosing both is logically inconsistent. I get that you hate progress and anyone who opposes genocide and want to ignore them so you can move to the right and have your genocide. That’s disgusting, but fine, if you want to choose that, it’s all centrists do. But if you do it on the grounds that the people you hate for not being republican-adjacent enough for your liking aren’t a big enough group to matter, you don’t get to act like they matter after the fact just so you don’t have to stop moving to the right.

              That’s the assumption whenever someone contradicts centrist orthodoxy.

              It’s wrong, but centrists never let that stop them.

                You mean like the assumptions you made about me in your comment above? A bit hypocritical. But I guess you never let that stop you.

                    I didn’t want their votes?

                    How did I personally earn this loss?

                    Just pile on the hateful assumptions till you craft the world view you desire I guess. It seems like reality and truth are just inconveniences for you. MAGA thinks the same way. Do you by chance think America is great again too?

            I never said either. I called out your contradiction and you got really defensive and made assumptions for some reason…
