California governor critcizes president for ‘putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs’
California to ‘actively monitor’ possible threats after Trump said Iran could ‘take out’ LA and San Diego Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. Donald Trump was accused of “dangerous, if not treasonous” behaviour after his comments suggesting he could “let [Iran] take out” Los Angeles or San Diego. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them ta…
And yet……
California lives rent free in so many MAGAts brains, and the rage comes down to one of two scenarios. One, never been to California (or visited a long, long time ago) and just assumes it’s a Mad Max-esque wasteland except with more Gay Communism TM. Two, adores California and won’t fucking leave, see Vance and the fact he’s always lurking around So Cal because his wife is from northern San Diego county. The irony is the further you get from the coast the redder and more MAGA California becomes, and boy does it get weird and extreme at times (OC’s ‘Orange Curtain’ being one exception re: coastal blue cities). Something tells me California MAGAts are fine with daddy Trump making these comments. The boots don’t lick themselves.
And the crowd cheered. That’s the most fucked up part of this.
The drama queens on the right always talk about “TDS”, but seeing their California Derangement Syndrome is really a thing. Especially when they pretend to be the “real patriots” : there are nearly 40 million Americans that live in California. More than 1 in 10 Americans live in California. That the right wing have this stupid blind hatred for.
And an awful lot of their television, shows, games, and tech comes out of California. Hell, the taxes from Californians probably props up a lot of the assholes with California Derangement Syndrome…
@onpolitics.news@lemmy.world I think the links broken, it leads to a feed on trumps visit to texas for some reason
I’ve said this in the past but I really do think that if a civil war, balkanization, or federal weakening were to happen it’ll start here in California. Not necessarily because we are all that willing to do things but moreso because we are probably one of the more nationalistic states and Republicans would see us all butchered, all it’d take is the right pressure and the Californian nationalism will turn into burning federal field offices and mass graves.
The main challenge is that California is full to the brim with federal military bases.
That could be a problem for them as well, its not inconceivable that said bases could end up being surrounded and isolated or otherwise dealing with defection. Regardless it’d be a complete shit show, but I suspect theyd face some level of issue from mixed loyalty, breakdown of morale, or people going AWOL outright.
They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.
Holy fuck. The President just condoned a terrorist attack on an entire city, one of the largest cities in America. Because he doesn’t like their politics. Just when you thought he couldn’t go any lower…
He raped children. It doesn’t get lower than this.
I mean condoning the bombing of a city with 13M Americans just because some of them don’t like him seems much worse than that, but maybe that’s just me.
I mean they have already said the left war trators. Everyone needs to stop thinking what they say isn’t true.
I don’t think “left war traitors” comes anywhere close to “I hope they bomb an entire fucking city full of millions of our own people because some of them don’t like me”
his new lows should never surprise anyone
This isn’t just a Trump low, all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.
Every time Republicans refuse to do anything, they’re endorsing his behavior.
They’re okay with it. He’s just saying what they’ve been afraid to say out loud.
They can prove otherwise, as you said. But they won’t.
new lows of conservatives should never surprise anyone
all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.
Imagine being a republican trying to get elected in California after this …
I’m fairly certain the “I could shoot someone on 5th Ave” comment was foreshadowing at this point.
And towards the end, I foresee a blatant and publicly announced wholesale of the US to the highest bidder.
I think LA alone has a higher gdp than a lot of nations
A lot of states actually, California is in the top ten.
Now wait a minute, did we all collectively decide to forget the most impeachable offense of any recent presidency? Remember when President Obama wore a tan suit? A TAN SUIT???
Or that time he asked for spicy mustard on his burger?
And nothing will be done about it
Definitely treasonous, but it’s not like he’s not been treasonous before. :|
It would be quicker to list the times he wasn’t treasonous.
July 1987 boarding the plane to Moscow was probably the last time he wasn’t a Muppet.
(I say Muppet intentionally because he has putin shoulder deep in his ass.)
It’s MAGA, Treason is assumed. So is Pedophilia.
But I thought he was president for all Americans. Any insights?
Trump? He’s President for himself. Immunity is addictive.
doesn’t look very treasonous, people forget the US constitution actually believes in free speech and not comfortable speech. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-3/
Wonder what it’ll take for Americans to march on the White House. Apparently offering up two major cities as freebies for the nation’s enemies as target practice isn’t gonna do it.
Do you live in America?
March on the White House? He’s constantly expanding the secure perimeter. Most recently he’s announced he will be fencing off Lafayette Square. You can barely see the place from the street anymore.
The White House is 3,000 miles away from where I live. That’s not really feasible.
