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.

      I didn’t want their votes?

      How did I personally earn this loss?

      Just pile on the hateful assumptions till you craft the world view you desire I guess. It seems like reality and truth are just inconveniences for you. MAGA thinks the same way. Do you by chance think America is great again too?

        And we’re back to the standard centrist standby. “anyone to my left is all the way to my right.”

          And we’re back to the standard centrist standby. “anyone to my left is all the way to my right.”

          I’m beginning to think this isn’t just you building strawmans, maybe you’re unable to understand what I’m saying.

          Let me try again:

          You sound like MAGA, not because of your political views, but because of your relationship with the truth. Which is: make wild claims to support your stance with no evidence, then layer in some insults. That’s how MAGA operates, and it’s what you’re doing right now. Never once did I mention your political views or you being left or right. Nor have I mentioned my political views. Just your wild claims and assumptions, and how they are very much how MAGA chooses to communicate as well.

          For example, you said I didn’t want their votes. What proof do you have to make such a claim?

          You said to have fun with the loss I earned. How exactly did I earn this loss?

          I had already asked these questions to better understand the assumptions you are making, but you seemed to avoid them because they were inconvenient. Much like MAGA does as well.

            Condescension and gaslighting. Should really make a bingo card for this. You’re pretending that not buying what you’re saying is not understanding it.

              Are you able to answer my questions, or are you just going to avoid them and dance around topics while throwing insults? I’ve asked them twice now but you seem unwilling to explain what you said. Almost like you know it’s ridiculous, unfounded, and petty.

              They’re claims you made, I just want to understand them better.

              Condescension and gaslighting.

              Oh, the irony.

                  On my terms, by asking you to explain what you said? I’m such a troll with 2 simple questions, asking what you meant by your statement. We both know why you really won’t answer.

                  I don’t think there was ever a time you weren’t sealioning this whole conversation lol. Nothing you said has felt genuine. You’ve just tried to cover it up with a Gish Gallop and now refuse to participate because you’re being focused on 2 questions and the absurd claims you made. We both know it, can we stop the act.
