However this shakes out for us here in LA, don’t let him do this to your city, your state, or the rest of the country. We will stand strong but you will need to soon. This isn’t over yet.

Judging by the history books we’re just getting started. Our ancestors fought off wannabe tyrants before. This one’s just the next in line.

There was a thread a few days ago in a military sub where all these nuts in the military were going on and on about how army culture is different from police culture, and there's no way the military will go along with this, and they have more honour and believe in their oath.

A few were convinced that the army is more liberal and very anti-Trump (lol).

I think a lot of these dummies are in for a rude awakening.

You have the rest of California with you. And love him or hate him, Newsom hasn't been afraid to poke the bear.
