Democratic governors are urging Trump to drop his plans to send troops to their cities.
Democratic governors are urging Trump to drop his plans to send troops to their cities.
If Trump sends the NG to Chicago or another blue city, then Blue State Governors should send THEIR local forces. Let the Mayors of those cities deputize the blue state force to arrest ANY masked federal agent.
Urging? Why are they not demanding?
they are. why are you falling for the bullshit headline ofca far right propaganda outlet?
They better plan their response. The Orange Moron will continue to escalate his Shit Show for 3.5 more years. You can count on it. Unless ....... the Grim Reaper intervenes.
“Urging” Thanks for those harsh words #DemocraticGovernors And we appreciate you bringing the spoon to the fight. 🙆🏻♂️
They oughta request more than urging! Urging?!? Thats like telling a kid to stop feeling up his date! Speakng of…. #EpsteinFiles
Fuck. If I was a the governor (republican or democrat) of any State with an able-bodied National Guard garrison, I'd have them laying siege directly on the White House like, yesterday.
Governors should direct their national guard not to obey Trump. If they do trumps bidding, dishonorably discharge them with no pension. Trumps orders are illegal orders.
👍
He uses red state troops
The president uses Title 10 to temporarily federalize the national guard. Under title 10, the guard is no longer under state control, and the troops can be court marshaled it they don't obey.
“Four governors — Josh Green of Hawaii, Ned Lamont of Connecticut, Katie Hobbs of Arizona and Tim Walz of Minnesota — did not sign the letter.” —. Don’t know why
Urging doesn't work. Sue the bastard.
How about rule of law and access denied?? Urging, really..
Stop urging and fight.
Urging. 🤔 Have you considered a strongly worded letter? Or would that be redundant?
Civil war time against Trump’s illegal Nazi Gestapo-democracy requires accountability for criminals!
“Urging” won’t work to stop this authoritarian police state takeover. They must actively work to stop them, by any means necessary. Filing court cases is shutting the barn door after the horse is out. Once they get a foothold, it’s over. Think they’ll leave DC anytime soon?
dems' politics of siding w/ soft on crimes/criminals first victims last-insanity is backfiring. dems r scared that pres trump's decisive action to keep us safe will actually work. for us we the american ppl, ANY action to make/keep us safe is welcome. www.fox5dc.com/news/violent...
Hahaha.
Start with not pardoning violent and or sexual criminals
Republican governors are urging Trump to drop his pants making it easier to kiss his fat ass.
Democratic governors have to do two things. Make the sale of guns in their states illegal and two do not give money to the federal government.
You've got the first one wrong. They need to drop all restrictions and allow all citizens to carry firearms. Blue state populations will need to defend themselves from the onslaught.
Really? Urging? Ya........That'll show him....
The simple answer lies with the troops themselves. Disobey the orders... their oath demands it!!
Why not demonstrate with your feet and bloke off arteries and cities that have this imposed on them. #PeoplePower
You make it sound like a gentle suggestion, they TELLING him not to come or there will be legal consequences.

Put up the barricades and stop them yourselves ?!
I’m curious what the Governors of HI, CT, AZ, and MN did NOT sign the letter.
“Urging”? Pritzker was “urging”? Sounded more like “FU” to some of us.
They are scared of telling the truth to give Pritzker air time because he threatens their business if he wins.
Trump is trying to normalize this action. So in an election year, when it doesn't go his way, he can call on them.
Urging will do nothing. How about meeting the national guard troops at your borders with your own troops. Don’t allow entry via roads or airspace.
This!
👍
The president can assume command of those troops using the excuse of the “crime emergency.” The troops will be forced to decide between a thinly veiled excuse or reason. And quite frankly, reason hasn’t been winning recently
What does urging mean to 🍊🇷🇺🇭🇺🇰🇵🤡? It means nothing. They should refuse it period. They have the Constitutional power to refuse. He is setting up his next insurrection nationwide because he knows he will be impeached
Governors control their states National Guard. Use them against, no cooperation with out of state’s guard
No more talk. Dem Gov's need to activate their own Guard. Time to fight
listen, they are trying to start a civil war because the insane heritage foundation christians believe it will hasten the return of some dead false prophet from another country who will "rapture" them up to "god" because, according to supreme white national jesusfolk, it'll be like this:
They're gonna have to do more than beg to stop fascism.
“Urging” sounds too gentle.
Trump has to get them in place so he can call a national emergency at election time. He can cancel elections then.
From what I’ve read, I think it was more “demanded” he not send them. Stop normalizing his authoritarian actions!
Politico is run by a hard-right zealot.
Can’t say I’m not surprised. Idiots, oligarchy idiots!
That’ll just make him send in more troops.
Civil War 2?.” Putin’s masterplan for US? Both?
Is this yet another strongly worded letter ala Chuck Schumer? Palm hits forehead.
I think they better not try that.
I'm glad the governors are standing up. Now what? I hope there is a Plan B bcc Dumpt will do whatever he wants. He's just waiting for someone to defy him.
Trump is a traitor, and politico is for basic bitches
It will given him more sadistic pleasure when he sends them. There is no appeasing extremists.
Governors threaten “We will say ‘tut tut’, sir! ‘Tut tut!’” Now, a letter saying “If any masked bozo without proper ID and warrant tries to kidnap one of my state’s residents, or a weekend soldier from another state shows up within our borders, they’re going to jail” - that’s a letter worth sending.
“Urging” isn’t the term I would use, “Warning” them not to come is more precise.
If he does it anyway, is it an invasion and the start of an actual Civil War?
Title 10 allows the president to federalize the national guard.
This is leading us to Civil War. The end is near.
Urging……. sounds like a great strategy…….. to lose
“Urging”. Really?
There is no way in hell that he doesn’t do this. All in his plans. Or their plans.
Learn the frequencies ICE operates on and jam them.
Or - consider this - the governors could welcome the troops and use them to augment existing law enforcement services, which appear to be under-funded, under-equipped, and under-manned. Crime in cities is quite high. Maybe they should do something about that.
Start with the states with the highest murder rates Oh shit its all red states
Keep an eye out for which governors eventually cave on this issue and which ones don't
Don't want a Republican president making a Dem mayor of a crime infested city look bad.
Trump not just a threat to democracy, he’s also a threat to humanity.
Absolutely. Europeans are watching the huge migration of Americans attempting to migrate to Europe. Not that the EU has a backbone currently regarding defending Israel’s genocide of Palestinians
