State Guard are also STATE RESIDENTS....as an organized STATE CIVILIAN organization, THEY ANSWER TO THEIR RESPECTIVE STATE...NOT THE US GOVERNMENT NOR ANY FEDERAL OFFICIAL. The President is an ELECTED OFFICIAL...elected to GOVERN, NOT RULE...

There's a HUGE DIFFERENCE in those two words.....

How can Trump legally deploy the National Guard in California when the governor has not asked for that to happen? If Trump federalizes the California National Guard himself, then that guard cannot be used for law-enforcement.

Trump doesn't seem too concerned with what's "legal"

You're correct... members of the State Guard SIGNED UP...it's a civilian volunteer force under STATE CONTROL, NOT FEDERAL.

Trump and Miller won’t be happy until people are killed. Don’t give them the satisfaction.

Following Newsome's advice appears to be the best course of action here. Don't give trump a spectacle.

Trump sent in ICE to provoke the protesters-ICE isn’t trained in crowd control-and didn’t have a large enough force to control the people they provoked-giving Trump the excuse he needed to nationalize the California National Guard-next step is to declare martial law and to suspend the right habeas corpus-so, he can now assume all the powers of the dictator he wants to be. All hail King Trump! 😱

Yes, but he isn’t there for us-he’s there for himself. Being President is like crack cocaine for a malignant narcissist.

Martial law is felonpotus's next step. Outlawing demonstrations, firing on protesters, the military invading "blue" states. The federal regime is at war with us, right now.
