DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek that the City of Glendale’s decision was “deeply disturbing,” and accused state officials of siding with criminals over public safety after unrest in Los Angeles.
Just so people are aware, this is the same rhetoric/same regurgitated talking points being used against “progressive” policies in blue cities within red states all over the country.
They are banking on an escalation of physical violence and confrontation that they will use as an excuse to establish a permanent federal and military force in California that will not be subject to any California state laws.
Why do I believe that? Because its how it happened in my own city to establish a permanent state police force that can’t be regulated by any city or local ordinance.
They instigate and then argue that progressive policies have resulted in an emergency and chaos, that leaves them no choice but to step in and fix things by taking control.
I think we’re probably closer in agreement on this than not. I hesitate to redefine words, in a post-truth society:
Radical leftist Democrats Antisemitism Russian bots/trolls/shills White genocide
Eta socialist Bernie Sanders, AOC 2nd ETA liberals, moderates
100% in close agreement. I see you around a lot, I’m pretty sure you see me, too. Sorry if it sounded like I was being argumentative; I totally didn’t mean it that way. Just talking and exploring the details of ideas with someone who I think would appreciate that!
It’s fine. I don’t think it’s healthy to agree 100% on all things, always. That means someone is lying someone is abandoning themselves.
You’re good people. I will always listen to you, even if - especially when - we disagree.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that, feel you’re a good person, too, and will return the favor. Will you do me the favor of calling me out when I fail, with you or others? Because I am human, I will fail.
Absolutely, and I hope you do the same for me. That’s what friends do.
Ok it’s a deal. ✊
