Within an hour an appeals judge put a 1 week stay on the ruling. Fucking corrupt judges

Political hierarchy in the US is very important for a lot of things. The Netherlands doesnt have states so I know it seems foreign to you but I’ll try to explain without being condescending.

Some basic info to get out of the way first: States are not subject to the federal government in the way you think. If I had to compare it to something imagine the US is the EU and the states are separate countries. Subjects that are not covered under federal law are left for the states to control on their own and the federal government almost never will directly intervene in a situation in a state without that states approval.

With that please understand that Kristi Noem is not “the controlling party”. She is a government employee hired by Donald Trump. She has next to 0 control over what’s going on in California. Government policy for these types of situations is defer to the states laws and provide support as needed. California as directly asked the government to stand down and instead Donald Trump has mobilized the military against the wishes of the people of California.

Imagine if the EU sent their military to quell protests in the Netherlands. Also imagine if a contractor hired by the EU arrested and detained your prime minister IN THE NETHERLANDS while holding a press conference because your prime minister wanted to know why the hell a contractor was directing the EU military to quell a protest on your soil.

I realize the comparisons might not be the best but this situation is absolutely insane and should have never happened. Our government is absolutely over stepping their bounds and are exacerbating the situation.

Is that pretty normal where you live? An unelected government official detaining an elected sitting senator?

The direct answer to your question is yes he should have been treated differently because he’s a senator. DHS is not the end all be all of government regulation. He is essentially one of her bosses.

Some of you lemmy users really are keyboard warriors. I understand your frustration with what’s going on but your call for violence just shows you don’t actually care about people’s lives. The people of California are just numbers to you.

Even though California is the symbol of liberalism, it is still one of the largest populations of conservatives in the country. Newsome has a duty to all residents of the state, not just liberals. All out civil war is not a decision to make so lightly.

If you feel so strongly feel free to get off Lemmy and go fight. I really feel the same people calling for him to do more are the same people who voted 3rd party. Just an utter lack of any critical thinking.

Exactly what it looks like. He is becoming the face of the opposition. Just another establishment candidate. 🙄

Literally millions of people claimed that

The democrats only controlled congress briefly under Obama and anything they tried to pass got stonewalled by Mitch the bitch and Manchin

2 trillion is the first year. The bill will add 20 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years.

Vance 2026. It’s not a good outcome but it’s the best I can hope for.

Anyone in protest of this bill, should it pass, should post the commandments in Farsi and see how that goes over with the facists.

This is nothing compared to the alleged 3some with Stephen miller and his wife. The going theory is Elmo got punched in the face by Miller and that’s how he got the black eye.

I’ll say thank you to Elon when Rafael Cruz tells Trump to fuck off for calling his wife a dog on live television.

We will be feeling the effects of this presidency for the next 100 years. I can only hope there is a God that will put Trump and his cronies in the farthest reaches of hell to suffer for eternity.

Future presidents will be paying reparations to millions of families for the trauma that Trump has caused.

You can’t say that because there is no reliable data to go off of. Kamala and Clinton were terrible candidates.

Didn’t the office say they were fully staffed the night of the tornado and they sent out alerts?

Geez millennials can’t catch a break can they.

Most likely the backlash from the war is starting to affect their numbers.

You’re actually insane if you believe that. He is and always will side with himself. He’s throwing a tantrum because them raising prices will make him look bad. Regardless of what you believe about economics it is not reasonable to expect a business in a free market economy to eat the cost of a tariff. Again it is irrelevant that they are morally corrupt and probably could eat it.

His entire life is him taking advantage of stupid people and now he’s asking someone to help out the little guy? Get real.

My exact thought. I can not stand the current Democratic Party. They are deporting and imprisoning American citizens without due process and the straw that broke the camels back is a fucking jet.
