During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.

    Especially when so many continue to double and triple down rather than just accept that they fucked up.

    At least the “Arabs for Trump” folks did a pretty much immediate about face. Still awful that they existed in the first place, but at least they had the wherewithal to walk it back when reality hit them.

    So many people here just refuse to, and will call your progressive beliefs into question because you don’t bury your head in the sand like them

      Yup. Every time I’m critical of the idiots who didn’t vote or voted 3rd party, the downvotes let me know those idiots are still out there, not grasping that they’re idiots. There’s a lot of them on Lemmy.

      They fucked up. On some level they know it, but they’re not big enough to admit it.
