They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.

Republic of California
New California Republic (or NCR for short)
and now for the anthem:
wc:File:“I Love You, California”, by Knickerbocker Quartet and Elizabeth Spencer (cusb-cyl5053d).oga
I.
I love you, California, you’re the greatest state of all.
I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall.
I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore.
I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.
Chorus
When the snow crowned Golden Sierras
Keep their watch o’er the valleys bloom,
It is there I would be in our land by the sea,
Every breeze bearing rich perfume.
It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me,
And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh
For my sunny California.
Please. We all know this is the real anthem of California.

You threaten to withhold federal taxes.
Taxes are paid by individuals directly to the federal government. If an individual doesn’t pay their federal tax, the federal government goes after that individual. The federal government will take an individual’s money right out of their bank account. There’s no way for the state to withhold federal payments.
State taxes are filed separately and don’t go to the federal government.

I think you need to explain it. Because the vast majority of federal income is from federal income taxes which the state has absolutely no ability to stop. It’s between the federal government and the citizen. If the State of California secedes the people still have bank accounts that the federal government will seize.
No they don’t. Keep it all up. Republicans currently in power have destroyed their parties future.
Since coming to power the damage that has been done to the right has shifted western democracies so hard left they are getting whiplash.
It’s a progressive state, I think that’s why they target it
Also because it’s the largest progressive state in size. If they can take down California then they will cheer it on as a major victory. Next up on the hit list the other blue states, Canada and finally Europe.
Apart from the obvious “arresting a senator for asking questions” thing, is whatever’s happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they’re arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect
No normally. I think they throw a knee on the neck for 9 to 10 minutes.
that’s their technique for arresting black people

Yeah, cops are racist as fuck. But they will gladly beat up anyone. Threaten too. I remember when I was a lot younger talking to a cop (i did’t know better at the time.) and suddenly he starts resting his hand on his holster and looking at me weird.
he starts resting his hand on his holster and looking at me weird.
FYI, in many states that action is very explicitly defined as Assault.
Yeah, but if I pulled my gun out and blasted his pig ass I am not going to get off on self defense.
Prosecutors would definitely take that to trial, for sure. But it also depends on your jury. Being acquitted is definitely more likely as the days go by now. A lot of people no longer give law enforcement any sort of benefit of the doubt, often the exact opposite now.
You just need 1 member of that jury to decide that way and refuse to change their position to hang the jury, and then the prosecutors have to decide whether to bother with a retrial and do it all over again. Any time the first jury is unable to decide, that weighs heavily over any subsequent trial, whether it’s supposed to or not.
well it was in 2010 and I was living in a rural backwater so…
What state? Nothing shows up in a quick search. That could be considered ‘brandishing’ in my state which is a crime but certainly not assault.
Do you recognize the genocide in Gaza?
Authorities are claiming they were unable to know who he was at the time, and treated him as a potential threat.
You are going to get to hear that kind of verbiage a lot over the next few years
They were only following orders
happily
Fucking hate cop talk. The language they use in their reports is disgusting. They probably have a template that they just slightly modify. Template is already full of lies.
Of course they have a template, cops can barely read or write, they wouldn’t be able to report anything without serious hand-holding.
He stood up and announced he was a US Senator. The very first thing he did was identify himself. If they’re deaf then they shouldn’t be on active duty outside a desk job.
This is almost copy pasted from the shit they actually re saying.
The standard procedure involves metal hitting the back of the skull until enough blood comes out that the victim can’t remember what happened.
guilty of terrorism until proven innocent
Their training tells them that everyone is a dangerous suspect.
So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
If you’re asking this question; you know the answer… you’ve just elected to not do anything about it.
“Elected” haha, I know who’s getting my “vote” this year!
The 2nd amendment just says the government can’t take away your guns. It doesn’t say anything about it being okay for you to use them against the government.
I mean, hell, police kill people all the time, but the courts treat having a gun on your person as a reason the cops had to shoot you. So they can’t take away the gun, but they can take away your life for having it.
Basically you can use it as a security blanket to rock yourself to sleep at night, but get anywhere near the gestapo with it and you die a “terrorist.”
You already know the answer to this and have chosen to ignore it.
Now
Never, if we accept the intent of the 2nd amendment is to stop a tyrannical us government it does so be making sure you have the means for a rebellion (or the states actually). In that case you would not be judged for your actions like a criminal.
It of course does not apply to individuals taking action on their own (and they alone would not be able to bring down a regime). The best you could hope is a pardon/amnesty by a new pro democracy president/authority, if you are still alive.
do me a favor and read what you wrote again. I think you’re trying to say something but it’s impossible to tell.
The issue is on your end, my message is clear.
haha you’re going to double down? like, I’m really trying to get through that first sentence and it’s total gore. at the very least there’s some missing punctuation but even when I try to put pauses in places where there should be commas it’s just a pile of lost plot. I’ve tried like 10 times and I don’t know why.
There’s some missing punctuation (and typos), in a social media post, written on a mobile phone, the horror! I 've switched to a PC with a proper, physical keyboard.
I am confused by your mention of pauses, are you reading it aloud and trying to split it when you need to breath? You should be identifying verbs, their subjects and their objects.
But I doubt either you, or the other downvoters do not actually understand my post. It’s far more likely you do, but it offends you.
It’s ironic that pro-democracy Americans can’t handle criticism of America’s mythology. Even more so, if you understand that using your, 2nd amendment protected, guns to stop tyranny is simply right wing propaganda to conceal their power fantasy of killing people they don’t like, with their 2nd amendment provided guns.
lol wut? in no way do I disagree with left wing politics. I just sincerely struggled to follow the content of the writing. I can usually glean the gist and in this case I could kinda sorta get it. but it really was more of a struggle than usual.
So when they turn to the camera guy at the end they repeatedly keep saying you’re not allowed to record due to FBI rights. That is something I’ve never heard before.
Unless they are trying to refer to something from the Patriot act the FBI has the same rights as everyone else.
That is because it is made up bullshit that all
Nazislaw enforcement say to justify suppressing media.
The dumb woman talking said “liberate the city from socialists”. Doesn’t it bother Americans that a person in her position, is so fucking dumb she doesn’t even know what socialism is?
It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.

I learned on he xbear that Ukraine is the most fascist place in the world and the leader of the country, who is Jewish, glorifies Nazis. It was very educational, but not in the way they intended.
Why would they be bothered? They don’t know either. She might as well said “liverate the city from wokeness” qnd they would shake their fat fistis in agreement
The same people that made us share toys and the playground now tell us that sharing things is evil and wrong.
The same people that said love your neighbors now vote to have our neighbors arrested and deported.
The same people that said feed the hungry vote to remove school lunches.
The same people that screamed about 2A “shall not be infringed” and insisting their full auto arsenal was to stand up to a tyrannical govt. Now won’t say a word when every other amendment has been completely removed and the govt is tyrannical in every way.
Ironic.
Maybe now that they’re getting arrested too, the Dems will actually do something.
Maybe.
Narrator: “They did not.”
Chuck Schumer will still not see this as bad since AIPAC didn’t tell him it is.
Another strongly worded letter SLAMMING and BLASTING tRump and everyone else responsible
Pink suits 😍
* Finger wagging intensifies *
For those like me who didn’t know what exactly this was about, here’s a video of the incident:
Thank you.
What the actual fuck.
Dude looks like he deserves to be in cuffs trying to push his way through those people. Seems justified. Act like an animal, be treated like an animal.
Im really excited for the next election when the Dems force us to vote between Newsom and whatever mentally unstable nazi the republicans find, and we lose every branch again…
Because a sizable part of the population is apparently still too fucking stupid to realize that’s still a no-brainer decision to make.
Yeah, our countrymen are dipshits, but let’s not undersell how complicit the Dems are by constantly choosing to run candidates that their voting base feels they have to vote for begrudgingly.
And let’s not pretend like the decision isn’t between unregulated capitalism, and fascism. Yes one is the better choice, but I mean Jesus Christ it’s like trying to decide if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.
Hard to win elections when your voting base can’t be excited about you. Hence why gop is winning, it’s easier for a fascist to appeal to a dipshit than it is for a capitalist to appeal to a voter with the ability to think for themselves.
So, my question when I run into that argument is: who do you think people would rally behind?
There’s always this assumption that the party has someone that they know would be super popular but they then make a conscious choice to run the most conservative person to the left of the Republican.
There are primaries. They’re made up of people who can get enough support. The local parties are closer to voters, and it’s much easier for people to join.
Somehow the people who consistently get elected are the sort of people they keep fielding as candidates.So I’d love it if we had a great inspiring candidate. But literally who are they?
if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.
The first option at least gives tons of people extra time to escape to a more sane country.
But yeah, fuck the dems.
More like the democratic leaders are too stupid yo try actually appealing to the population. Keep victim blaming though, and licking up whatever scraps the dems throw st you from the table. Like yall shoild literally be rioting to force a change of leadership in the democratic party, and should have done so the second kamala lost. Or even before that when she was just ‘chosen’ to replace biden.
David Hogg is trying to, and it pissed them off so much he was ousted. I’d suggest joining up with Leaders We Deserve, his action platform
A sizable part of the population thinks holding down a liberal senator and tazing him is Based and are only upset that they can’t take part. A sizable part thinks if the police tackle you and slap cuffs on, you must have done something to deserve it.
This isn’t an issue of people being too stupid to understand what’s happening. This is decades of fascist propaganda from the right and decades of liberal cop-worship politics on the left all coming due.
Yes the nazi is the better choice compared to the mentally unstable nazi. This is why dens are going to lose again and again until the country collapses and we’re rescued by someone invading us.
Sure, Newsom’s a nazi, fuck off.
Right before all of this he was literally making the rounds trying to woo and work with MAGAt influencers.
That’s a far too progressive stance for the Democrats. Maybe we should try Hillary again?
She’s got a shot… this time! If all else fails, how about some 90 year old senile guy, elderly leadership is trending among the younger demographics!
Whatever the Dems do, they need to do it in the most non-confrontational way possible, maybe a semi-strongly worded letter? Nothing too harsh, they just need to let everyone know they are not super chill with the current vibe. Hopefully they take it easy though, they definitely don’t want the Republicans to think they are impolite or rude
What, the land of the free?
RATM continues to be as relevant as ever. Sadly.

“liberate this city from the social & burdensome leadership” sure sounds like an attempt to take over a city by a federal employee.
Moff Noem anyone
Since the 2001 Patriot Act, the USA trashed their last gram of freedom.
At least these cops don’t have masks.
So, can anyone ID them? Time for some lawsuits.
More of us than them, imagine what we can do together. Give them the boot!
That must be a hell of a dangerous senator. Did he have a gun or is he a cage fighter that you need two fatties to sit on him so one guy can do the job?
