Didn’t know the cdc still had funding.

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

Thank you for being honest about it. A different thread over the same topic people were saying it’s very simple and military should be able to easily disobey these illegal orders. Reality is much different. I know it’s very scary to potentially throw your life away to do the right thing and no one can truly say what they would do in this type of situation without actually living it.

That’s not what should happen and you should be ashamed of yourself. Murder is not something to take lightly.

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.

That’s not how military orders work.

No offense but your personal experience does not characterize an entire religion. 2 people do not speak for 2 religions unless one of those people is the Pope.

The reality is people often use the guise of religion as an excuse for them to act a certain way when in reality they are just bigots.
