    They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.

    Holy fuck. The President just condoned a terrorist attack on an entire city, one of the largest cities in America. Because he doesn't like their politics. Just when you thought he couldn't go any lower...

    This isn't just a Trump low, all of his actions sit squarely on the shoulders of every single Republican.

    Every time Republicans refuse to do anything, they're endorsing his behavior.

    Now wait a minute, did we all collectively decide to forget the most impeachable offense of any recent presidency? Remember when President Obama wore a tan suit? A TAN SUIT???

    Definitely treasonous, but it's not like he's not been treasonous before. :|

    But I thought he was president for all Americans. Any insights?

    California lives rent free in so many MAGAts brains, and the rage comes down to one of two scenarios. One, never been to California (or visited a long, long time ago) and just assumes it's a Mad Max-esque wasteland except with more Gay Communism TM. Two, adores California and won't fucking leave, see Vance and the fact he's always lurking around So Cal because his wife is from northern San Diego county. The irony is the further you get from the coast the redder and more MAGA California becomes, and boy does it get weird and extreme at times (OC's 'Orange Curtain' being one exception re: coastal blue cities). Something tells me California MAGAts are fine with daddy Trump making these comments. The boots don't lick themselves.

    And the crowd cheered. That's the most fucked up part of this.

    The drama queens on the right always talk about "TDS", but seeing their California Derangement Syndrome is really a thing. Especially when they pretend to be the "real patriots" : there are nearly 40 million Americans that live in California. More than 1 in 10 Americans live in California. That the right wing have this stupid blind hatred for.

    And an awful lot of their television, shows, games, and tech comes out of California. Hell, the taxes from Californians probably props up a lot of the assholes with California Derangement Syndrome...

    Fuck Newsom.

    I've said this in the past but I really do think that if a civil war, balkanization, or federal weakening were to happen it'll start here in California. Not necessarily because we are all that willing to do things but moreso because we are probably one of the more nationalistic states and Republicans would see us all butchered, all it'd take is the right pressure and the Californian nationalism will turn into burning federal field offices and mass graves.

    The main challenge is that California is full to the brim with federal military bases.

    You say that as if there aren't Californians and other Blue Staters within and around those bases. Just because those facilities are Federal, doesn't mean everybody is suddenly mindcontrolled into doing Trump's bidding.

    That could be a problem for them as well, its not inconceivable that said bases could end up being surrounded and isolated or otherwise dealing with defection. Regardless it'd be a complete shit show, but I suspect theyd face some level of issue from mixed loyalty, breakdown of morale, or people going AWOL outright.

    Wonder what it’ll take for Americans to march on the White House. Apparently offering up two major cities as freebies for the nation’s enemies as target practice isn’t gonna do it.

    March on the White House? He's constantly expanding the secure perimeter. Most recently he's announced he will be fencing off Lafayette Square. You can barely see the place from the street anymore.

    doesn't look very treasonous, people forget the US constitution actually believes in free speech and not comfortable speech. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/article-3/section-3/
