New speaker, saying this isn't about redistricting, it's about stealing Federal elections(???). Says Trump sent in the military to grab families, but Newsom kicked them out LMAO.

A Legislature woman is talking now, the same old talking points, Tariffs, muh illegals, claims Trumps always manufactures votes when he doesn't have enough, :story:.

I Missed the start so if they announced any policy, I didn't hear it, but it's all hollow Trump bad and projection on what they do.

Next speaker seems to be saying they want "Independent" district map drawers so they can prosecute Trump.

Texas flipping 5 House seats Red really has the Dems terrified. The Right is super paranoid about Republicans losing the midterms but the Dems are obviously very scared they won't be able to.

Chinese Boy Raping Adam Schiff talking now, it's all just political euphemisms. Acting like Trump was only elected by a minority of the country like it was the political reality of 20 years ago. "Donald Trump you do not poke the bear". Backpacks up 30% is his only example of tariff impact. Treating the ballroom Trump is building and the Qatari donated airplane as personal enrichment. "Trump, thank you for your attention to this matter" is his big stinger at the end.

Next nobody is focusing on costs, says we need slave labor to keep food and housing low. Muh masked ICE. Compares the Texas House redistricting to the lie about Trump asking Georgia to make up votes in 2020. Now speaking in Spanish. The cheers are much lower as obviously almost no one understands the language. I think he's doing the exact same speech again in Spanish, great performance to completely suck the energy out of the message.

There is something they are going to have California vote on in November, probably counter redistricting.

Last speaker before Newsom flubs a quote of his. Newsom thanks him for the African proverb that was attributed to him.

  • Newsom points:
  • California most diverse
  • ICE outside where they are speaking
  • 15 year old disabled kid with a gun held to his head, I guess by ICE but doesn't say
  • Some vague shot at Vance, I think for misnaming the last speaker
  • Muh people disappearing, again implied to ICE but the way he said it, it could easily be to violence
  • We're the size of 21 States combined
  • They say don't mess with Texas, but don't mess with the Great Golden State
  • Muh Jan 6th, much Raffensperger
  • Trump is trying to steal 2026
  • Trump called Abbott and told him to find 5 seats.
  • Don't poke the bear, we'll punch back.
  • Talked about Vance visiting other states and not what that means.
  • I think they need 2/3rds of a vote to redistrict Cali harder. Nov 4th special election to get mid census redistricting for 2026, 2028, will go back to the current laws in 2030.
  • Dreaming national "Independent" Congressional Districting committee.
  • Ends on a ramble of current media TDS talking points.
 
Ok, bookmark this because I guarantee Trump will do the same exact thing he is doing in DC to LA in the run up to the Olympics. He already has laid the groundwork for it. I dont think it stops in LA for the Olympics.

As people have pointed out, it may not be a bad thing but its definitely a thing that is happening.
Just for when you come back to the bookmark, this does not include using federal law enforcement to: protect other federal agents and employees, protect federal buildings, protect international events, enforce federal law, or Trump coercong states and cities with threats or actions of withholding federal funding into letting him do all the bullshit he wants to do.

All of these actions are well established powers of the federal government and have been basically since the creation of it.
 
He may be pulling an Andrew Jackson Lite and fully exercising the presidency's power to execute the law. Congress has power of the purse-strings, but they aren't the ones necessarily handing out any money in the purse.

I took Crumbs there to be literal here. Trump really did pretty much waltz into the DC mayor's office with brass balls in hand and said he's the captain now. You're listing actual shit he needs to invoke first to do that. Subtle difference, but worth noting.
Oh, I assumed that's what he wanted context on. He didn't think Trump could legally do this to any other city so I provided the laws that would legally allow him to do so. I didn't mean to imply Trump needed to invoke either to take over DC as it's a special federal district and he can do whatever he wants. But who knows, sometimes I type kinda tarded.
 
I don't believe it's legal for National Guard to arrest anyone as though they were domestic police.

Their presence is mostly for photo ops anyway, similar to when they had people marching around through parks in LA.
They did their jobs in LA fine, which was defend federal property. This is a federal city. Trump can make them do whatever he fucking wants.
 
The only thing they should have done is trade out the Humvee's for the new JLTV's to rip through the streets.
Nah. Nothing screams 'MURICA more than a Humvee. They ain't fucking with one of them either, so might as well go for full patriotism.

Nah. You're cool. I more thought you missed the context of what, specifically, Crumbs was highlighting.
I don't believe it's legal for National Guard to arrest anyone as though they were domestic police.
Correct. So far they have not been used as ordinary domestic police is the thing. Emergency order, and then DC is special.
 
I'm sure details are getting posted, but the way Newsom presented his plan, California is asking for a special election to get permission to purposefully gerrymander California even harder to cancel out Texas's 5 new seats for the next 3 elections, then return to the law on the books for 2032 after the next census. They need 2/3rd of the vote to do it.

The Dems obviously believe 2026 is going to be close, there is no blue wave coming if Texas's redistricting is such an existential threat.

Full patriotism would be driving M1 Abrams tanks loaded with canister shot down the ghettos and cleaning them out Iraq style. I guess a Humvee idling on patrol will have to suffice.
 
Ever since the removal of Apu from the public eye, the Indian's position in Americans' view has tumbled so far down, so fast, and it is still going deeper.

Someone should make a timeline of this and their fall (or a tier list of what affected them the most). Cataloguing:
1. Scam call rise,
2. Scam call videos on YT
3. Apu controversy and removal
4. H1b abuse and DEI hiring/firing
5. Canada's destruction
6. TikTok/social and Indians getting internet access to showcase their"""culture"""
7. Attempts to co-opt the abused Minority status from Blacks.
8. Insistence on NO ASSIMILATION
9. etc...
Kitboga unironically made shit so much worse for jeets. His channel is where DO NOT REDEEM fucking came from and I'm shocked he hasn't been nuked from orbit because of it.
 
You guys ever grow to slowly hate a game because of the fan base around it? For me this happened to new Vegas. Becuase every new Vegas fan I have ever meet makes we wanna blow my brains out.
 
Yeah, the whole "But but but Indian curry..." is so dumb. First off, Indian food is made by Indians, therefore, it is worked with hands that have recently been in buttholes and the like, and second, they suck at making it anyways.

America stole pizza and made it better. Shit, we can do it with curry too. Maybe make it like 90% less filled with feces.
Why not set your sights higher? Maybe 100% less feces? Maybe no shit in the curry...?

Only every fanbase these days. If I like something I try not to interact with the fandom, it turns to shit eventually. The people who get way too attached to shit are just so loud and numerous now.

All the GWOT gear would be great for urban policing work. And finally, the memes about Chicago being worse than war time Iraq would be dead, because there is no more crime anymore, it got BRRTed out of existence. A man can dream.

Fallout, team fortress 2, source engine, Star wars, Star Trek, cartoons, doom, quake, comics, WW2 anything, guns (not as much), book stores.

Trannyism has run through the nerd community like crack through an 80s ghetto
