alright. Maybe "coagulate" is a better term for trump, specifically.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social)

Today's crazy awesome idea. Let Trump coalesce all federal control. Then get him voted out and do this with that power:

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Ah, yes. The righteous days of destroying a country not because it had weapons of mass destruction, but simply because we wanted to. So noble. It's a shame that the last soldiers we had who understood what a righteous cause was are dead or forgotten.

Do they have to corrupt and pollute the Nobel as well? Trump has been useful in one way: Standing mores and contribution are absolute bullshit, should this happen. Trump deserves an IgNobel, at best. Fuck this tasteless, ignorant jackass, and his plastic "wife."

It's pretty clear what they are supposed to do: Protect and defend the constitution as they swore to do. When will they honor their oaths and refuse to militarize American cities?

Who ran California while residents were disappeared without due process? Why is Newsom immune from this just because his Twitter team is spicy? The fuck did Newsom do for any of you?

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Again, you've dodged the point. What did Newsom actually do to prevent this? Anything? Anything at all? Or was Newsom's action limited to after California residents were disappeared? Who runs California? Trump or Newsom? Seems like Trump ran roughshod for a week before anyone did anything.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Again. lawsuit after-the-fact. Not "on-the-ground assertion of control." There is a big difference between "telling" versus "asking." Who runs California?

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social)

Holy shit, the botslop I get after criticizing Newsom is astonishing. Bluesky isn't immune from Russia bullshit in any way.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

On Twitter? That's not an official channel or decree. Both Newsom and Bass were too cowardly to take the real steps. California's governor needs to understand his/her power, and wield it fearlessly. California deserves that over stupid Twitter campaigns.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

It's incredible the contortion Newsom loyal will go to to attempt to refute. A lawsuit is not an authoritative demand as a sovereign governor to assert control over his state. Even if he suggested so, did anyone take that seriously? Newsom never flexed shit until his Socnet leads took control.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Where? Show me. I'm willing to be wrong, but I see a rich man asking for his authority instead of asserting it. Is that not what has befallen Democratic policy for the past 8 months? Look. I appreciate the gesture, but the man didn't hold the fourth largest economy against fascism. Unacceptable.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

That's an after-the-fact lawsuit. This is not a Governor's Decree. FFS, it's ridiculous how far acolytes go to make X=A. This is not that.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social)

Holy shit, are Newsom acolytes proudly stupid. It's really hard to believe that they're not russiabots given the 4K ignorance they spray.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Again, lawsuit after-the-fact, not a Governor wielding control of his state. There's a HUGE difference between seizing and begging. Newsom is begging, no matter what his social graph says.

I'm not from Missouri, but show me. Show me. Stop blathering and show me.

After how many abductions? Does this man run the state or not? His constituents are being disappeared while he dines at The French Laundry.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

May as well give up and go silent, then. Nobody stopped Newsom from speaking up. Yet he didn't. This defeatist shit is what allowed fascism, FYI.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Please. Point out the explicit statement that he ordered the National Guard out of LA During the occupation of LA. This documents a lawsuit, not a Governor's Order.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

What's "raking?" Are you sure? I never saw it, but I have to work for a living. I may have missed it in the flotsam and jetsam of Newsom trying to become blue-tinted Trump.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Never saw or heard it. All I saw was fealty and submission. That really happened? Is there a record of that? I'm not sure it offsets giving Bannon air, but I can admit if I'm simply uninformed if I see actual proof or his official orders.

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent

Did Christopher bother asking why Newsom didn't order the National Guard out of California during the LA abductions? Why not?

Sperkplerg (@sperkplerg.bsky.social) reply parent
