    It was a matter of time before he sent troops to a city in a blue state.

    It was only a matter of time before a blue state behaved like petulant cry babies.

    Well, let’s not make too much of it yet. These are our local California men and women, and I know their commander very well. You can trust these Soldiers to be calm, professional, and help keep the peace. I’m not privy to exact conversations between the Governor and President on this one, and no doubt there have been unnecessary political BS moves by both, but I also know they have to get ahead of what’s happening in LA now before it spins out of control like it did in 2020.

    The maga folks keep forgetting that CA pays way more into the fed than it gets back. ergo it is subsidizing red states. Bite the hand that feeds you.

    I’m not sure about the nature of the threat, though. I’m in California. My federal income taxes come right out of my pay through withholding just like they do with everyone else in every other state. I don’t see where Governor Newsome could realistically “withhold” money from the federal government to prove a point. That money comes from largely from the size of this population, and the state government plays no role in facilitating its transfer to the federal government.

    Even if the threat never materializes, perhaps some could just STFU re bashing a major source of income for the fed. just saying.

    By the end of Trump’s term, I wouldn’t be surprised if we decided everyone in California was illegal.

    The men and women of ICE are actually doing their jobs as directed… and they are being attacked on the streets and by politicians in the media. Their families have been doxed (and that should answer why so many wear masks while doing their jobs), the riots have damaged buildings, costs millions. Keep it n mind many on the left claim people like Tucker Carlson’s nd Charlie Kirk’s speech is “dangerous” and here we see politicians in the left turning up the heated rhetoric and actually adding fuel to the fire. Actual dangerous speech.
    The right screamed and cried about the number of illegal immigrants crossing the boarder. Biden claimed there was just nothing he could do… but the moment it becomes known Trump would be the new Pres… the boarder crossings started dropping.
    Now the left is screaming and crying that the right is sending those illegal immigrants back across the boarder …

    The White House Spokesgirl seems to be confused. Does she actually think she's describing the Trumpy January 6 riots?

    Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement on Saturday night that Mr. Trump was deploying the National Guard in response to “violent mobs” that she said had attacked federal law enforcement
