    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.

      california needs to fucking secede and newsom needs to sack up and put the money where his mouth is.

      You threaten to withhold federal taxes. Shit continues, You fucking do it. Once they know your threats are empty, the game is fucking over.

    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

    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?
