    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.

    They might be coming to fire her. She is a useless POS, the people of LA, California deserve better than her.

    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.
