California Governor Gavin Newsom has formally requested Trump administration officials to rescind the order to deploy the National Guard and return control of the force to California, calling the initial order unlawful and “intentionally designed to inflame the situation.”
“I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command,” Newsom wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.”
No but more people voted for this and that’s how the system works.
So, it’s not defeatism, you’re just arguing for maintaining the status quo? If that’s not defeatism in the face of a system that is mass arresting people, then what is it? What exactly is your point?
Edit: ah, just noticed that you are a moderator of [email protected]. Maybe you really do want to uphold the status quo of Trump’s directives.
I also moderate [email protected] because I’m a big bad dirty conservative.
The first step to fixing a problem is admitting there is one.
Voters voted this is. They are a problem.
