re: What If the Federal Judge Sides with Newsom?

Except he 100% had the authority. Federal agents were getting physically attacked.
Take out the politics and I think it was handled great. National guard protected federal agents and property and the local police handled the crowds and actually shut it down last night about midnight.

Assume that Trump just does what he wants and the hell with the judiciary and supreme court. The next step is to arrest and send out of the country all of his political opponents regardless of their citizenship status. You will then be able to tell your children that you witnessed the beginning of the dictatorship

Who do you trust more??? Trump or the direction of the Marxist Dems?

Has Trump shown any indications of being a dictator? Hell, he's being criticized for not being aggressive enough!!

Yes, we already know progressives are that stupid.

I appreciate the facts and figures. DJT was re-elected 7 months ago in part by promising to deport what they said was 15-20 million people. 7 months ago this was at least acceptable to the majority of people who took the time to vote. That number may be higher today. Thats not the point I was making. Prior to Kent State most Americans had had a belly full of protests and applauded the Governor's calling out the guard. The number of Americans who approved of the shooting or said it was the students fault was somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% for about a week afterwards. Then reality sat in that the national guard had killed college students and within a couple of weeks public opinion had shifted dramatically away from the actions of the guard being justified and that shift in public opinion is generally held as one of the many reasons the war ended when it did. No, what is going on now is most likely very popular amongst Americans sick of seeing protests....but that opinion is most likely going to shift as it has in the past because Americans do not have the stomach for it long term.

I have NEVER said that illegal immigration is good for the economy my friend, I do not know where you got that from. In fact I will state unequivocally that illegal immigration is bad for the economy because it creates an underclass of undocumented people who are easily exploited by those bent that way which creates an unfair competitive advantage for them over those who try to comply with legal requirements. Legal immigration and documented immigrants working legally in the US is a plus for the US economy in general but does impact wages at the bottom negatively. It has been argued that that impact is offset by lower prices which I tend to think is correct....lettuce would be incredibly expensive if it weren't for legal immigrants picking it.

I am not suggesting that the idea of deporting 20 million people is not a popular sentiment right now. I suspect it has more support today than it did in November. I also suspect that will change dramatically going forward as Americans have traditionally not had the stomach for such things. After 6 months of being inundated with images of senior citizens being punched in the face and knocked to the ground and children screaming for their mother American sentiment is going to turn, most likely. It makes NO difference that those images may be rarer than hen's teeth...it is all about perception and Americans aren't known for their ability to think much longer than it takes to break wind.

Polls showed Americans were opposed to declaring war against the axis powers in 1941 by 80-90%. Immediately after Pearl Harbor the same numbers indicated they were all in on declaring war. By 1944 that number was below 50%. In 1965 about 60% of Americans supported intervention in Vietnam. By 1969 that number was below 40%. The idea of deporting millions of immigrants here illegally is no doubt a popular one in June of 2025. It won't be in June of 2026 if history is any indicator. The numbers are much closer even while it is popular with a majority of Americans today than most similar "big" events in US history were at the beginning. It is unlikely that a year from now the support is close to what it is today because Americans do not have the stomach for it or they have not had in the past.

This is incorrect. In 1944 Americans were optimistic the war was going to end soon. Their patriotism was still at all time highs. The effort was highly supported.

After D Day the optimism that the war would end soon was around 90% and for good reason...but overall support of the effort in early 1944 dipped below 50%. Again for good reason. People's sons and daughters were being killed. The people of the US and the rest of the world had had a belly full...it is not difficult to imagine why.

Declare Martial Law.
They should gather a fleet of Semi Trucks. Recruit a few hundred ex athletes, pay them for NIL, and turn them loose with a basket full of Zip Ties.
Run the Thugs down, Zip tie their hands behind their back and their ankles together. Use a fork lift to fill up the trucks, and ship them to Mexico or El Salvador.

Things usually move slower.

California will continue to experience more it out migration of producers.

Then the state has to squeeze more blood out of the stones in its boundaries.

Then more out migration.

Rinse and repeat.

That is why this needs to wrap up ASAP
