NYC National Guard

Good

Trump took over the California Guard because dems are not allowing LA law enforcement to do their job.

Newsom said something in protest, what he's doing nothing to stop the California National Guard which is directly under his authority, not Trump's.

Ever get the feeling that the reason why everybody in authority is going along with everything he does is because everybody in authority is going along with everything he does?

The president has the power to nationalize the guard units in California to put down insurrection.

NG is military, and the President is CIC of the military, especially when the situation falls under federal control — like attacking a federal courthouse, post office or ICE agents. Same thing happened when John Brown attacked the federal arsenal at Harper’s Ferry.

NATIONAL Guard. That means National, not Federal. Each of the 50 Nations of the United States of America has their very own. The President of the USA Federation can authorize their use if the Governor of a particular nation agrees to authorize it.

Federal and national are synonymous

No.

Isn't there one of glossary thingies like they have in Dune that readers have to read a familiarize themselves with before proceeding to read the novel available for those LARPing as United Statians? I mean, just simple basics that are taken for granted here than those from abroad claiming to be us don't know anything about? Even something simple as what a state is. When you ask an Amerikanovska what state they supposedly live in, they don't know but kind of like in a manner like they think that a state is nothing more than an exit off a highway.

That was something akin to this convo is actual residents:

"So what exit do I get off of on I-98 when I'm getting to your house?"

"Heck do I know, it's the one that gets here after two blocks"

Sure, that happens if you're local, but that's a lot different than thinking that Maryland and North Carolina are little more than exit ramps.
