But why is there"marines on street"? Isn't there a ground troops available to deal with inland issue?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I don't want any troops dispatched here (the national guard is theoretically fine if a lot was different), but the marines are probably best of the branches. They're the advance troops with minimal additional stuff. The army is the big guns, when they arrive its no longer skirmish or mild occupation, its gonna be a while and its full on martial law.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 4 days ago

You're right I shouldn't minimised other people trouble. I'll reformulate so it is better.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

There shouldn't be soldiers oppressing the people who live here at all, it violates the Constitution. But for what it's worth the Marines are ground troops.

[-] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 4 days ago

TIL. Then why are they called marine then?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

They were originally part of the Navy, an amphibious force to attack from the sea. Obviously the need for that has very much declined. They are now an independent branch of the military but are technically still in the Department of the Navy.

I learn everyday. Thanks.

A. Trump was lying
B. Trump has dementia
C. Trump is incompetent
D. All of the above

[-] sunbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Probably he didn't care if it was true or not.

It was what he needed to say to get what he wanted.

Checking his memory was an exertion he didn't need to do.

I think D might be the answer

[-] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 49 points 1 week ago

I really appreciate that he didnt say "trump was lying about the phone call," and took it to this level. Thats a good smear

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

"Smear" implies spin. G's just reporting the facts.

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Dont ever shorten Gavin fucking Newsom to just G.

Until he takes back control of the California national guards and uses them to protect his state, he will not be seen as a real G.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 5 points 6 days ago

He's not perfect, and I was never in his fan club. But he is resisting, which is what we wanted from Democrats. Keep fighting...

[-] rhvg@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

Newsom suddenly feels legit, who would think of that.

[-] mathemachristian 8 points 6 days ago

Gruesome newsom is currently waging a war on the homeless. Not homelessness, the homeless themselves. He's cruel and comes into the defence of capital full swing.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

The shit I took last Tuesday is more legit than trump, so... yeah so is Newsom.

Newsoms a fucking Saint in comparison.

[-] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

I can't tell you how enormously frustrating it is that I have to like Newsom now.

[-] dondelelcaro@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

I hear you, but let's not forget that Newsom is doing the bare minimum here.

I'm certain we can find a better nominee in 2028.

[-] meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I think the candidate ship has sailed, we're looking for generals now.

[-] djsoren19 2 points 6 days ago

I've got great news for you, the enemy of your enemy can still be your enemy. Newsom doesn't even really disagree with what Trump is doing, he only disagrees with how.

[-] Alloi@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago

newsoms a cunt, doug ford is a cunt. both of these cunts dont like trumps antics. and in turn think hes a cunt. so hes the cunt that cunts dont like.

so hes an über cunt

what a cunt.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

When Doug Ford threw hands, metaphorically, I was actually almost proud of him for at least not being the worst.
