This is what they want. They think that by collapsing the fed corpos will be more powerful than states and they can have their “network state” / privatized government.
West coast needs to stand the fuck up. Idk what you name Cali Canada to NY but start coming up with some good ones.
But everyone is already in America. North, Central, South America. The US doesn’t own the name America. I really wish if they were going to change the Gulf of Mexico they would have names it gulf of americas, not America. It touches all three.
UCAS is from the Shadowrun tabletop setting, which takes place in a cyberpunk + fantasy dystopian future. The world broke into a mix of megacorporation extraterritoriality zones and smaller nations, one of which is the UCAS.
Same with my body my choice: ok to use with vaccines, but god forbid it be a woman’s body.
...what in the radical revisionist history...
That slogan was used with vaccines, specifically because you were using it to advocate for rights protecting women's bodily integrity, but you failed to extend those same rights to every person in the case of vaccines.
Impressively, you've managed to invert the historical significance of that slogan.
edit:
Fuck me. I'm debating with a 10-day old karma farming account. Why do I do this...
I had to reset my account. Don’t get so upset. I get your logic but unfortunately it infringes on other people’s rights for safety from disease. Were you vaccinated as a child? Did you vaccinate your kids? I’m gonna go with yes because you’re too dumb to understand they MADE vaccines a political issue. And it never was before.
Vaccines protect EVERYONE against a disease, think current measles outbreak in Texas and children dying. If a woman has an abortion it doesn’t affect you. It’s ok to not agree with abortion. The debate will never be settled bc ppl have different beliefs. But that doesn’t give you a right to tell other people what they can believe.
GTFOH.
I'm not upset. I'm resigned. I should know better.
You can argue all you want about the specifics of vaccine efficacy, but it doesn't change the history, purpose, or context behind the use of the slogan itself.
I get what you’re saying. You intentionally stole the phrase. Vaccines were only mandated in certain fields like healthcare. Were you forced to get a vaccine personally? Or did you have a choice in the matter ? Thank you for spreading the word of bodily autonomy and choice!!!
They can still negotiate and make agreements with other nation governments so long as the agreements don't contradict with any federal treaties or policies. And future federal policies preempt state agreements if they come into contradiction.
That's how California was able to do the Quebec cap and trade linkage and win in court.
It's not a economic agreement, they both agree to share emission scaling tools, it is a agreement between two foreign subnation governments.
I'm not sure if tariffs or trade would contradict a federal policy though.
Presidents are not constitutionally allowed to create tariffs except during national emergencies and only for a limited time. Trump declared a national emergency yesterday based on our trade deficits that have existed for 50 years.
Imagine if congress would do their fcking job for a change....
I didn’t make the claim that citizens have been deported so it isn’t mine to prove!! I also don’t need to google it because no citizens have been deported.
Easy to live in denial. Even easier to want someone else to prove that you have your head somewhere it should never be. Live in ignorance, it is bliss.
They were not "citizens"...they were not just worker bee types....they were illegal, gangbanging ,M13 type that were the worst of the worst
lawbreakers .and in all cases convicted criminals...some with criminal records here .
Oh. Look at the patriot act, He hasn't even scratched the surface of the power the congress has gave him. Be careful, you have no Idea the power it had given him,
But hey, lick his boots harder. I'm sure it'll help you sleep at night when the economy dips hard enough that bread costs $10 due to the tariffs he enacted.
EDIT: Also, SOME with criminal record? Should people in prison be... Idk... CRIMINALS?
If you knew me, you would know how foolish your statements are ,and be (hide your face) embarrassed. Regardless of their "protected "
Status The man is not Protected by the basis of law....He came here Illegally ..He.broke,the.law. He was deported.Get in line.This is my wifes attitude,(a mexican by birth,came here legally 40 years ago) and mine.(Native Oregonian American)
They still ought to have some kind of due process. It's the American way. Besides, illegal immigration is a civil as opposed to criminal offense. Granted, they aren't entitled to the same protections as US citizens, but neither should they be treated as criminals.
Ah a pull the ladder type, they'll come for her too eventually. And hopefully sooner rather than later and saves someone else with a less idiot attitude. The Constitution protects everyone who resides here. Not citizens. Undocumented, criminal, legal, whatever, they're supposed to be under the constitution. But judging by your word vomit you're one of those that hates the constitution. Please move to Idaho.
Why? I am a native born Oregonian ,and my family has been here for 6 generations Mister ,and I dislike "newbies" making noises about my political opinions...when they haven't got a clue about them .I think the interpretation of who is covered by the constitution very much depends on whose court your sitting in...My wife is well known to the political system here and especially the judges and fears no racist asshats.
How about you stop trying to "californicate" oregon and understand there is a whole lot of people here who dont care for your brand of political BS. Its called live and let live ....but bottum line is be legal or be gone
If he was treated poorly by this administration, let him present his case in the appropriate court...and wish him good luck if he is treated the same way trump was
He literally can't present his case because he was deported without due process, another thing that is illegal. And now, because we have no jurisdiction over the prison he was sent to, we can't get him back.
When you realize most of the countries voters and citizens support Trumps actions in this matter, you will learn a hard truth. Elections have consequences.
I really understand how young you are when you speak those words...I said them when I was in my teens and twenties....but I am looking 70 in the face ,and have seen enough to know how foolish you are (and I was).Honestly I Don't Care about this guy...I care about open boarders where the lowest of the low flood in from countries where the law comes out Gunbarrel and they think we are easy Pickens. Look at Europe now.
Actually I stopped caring when He was Identified as a Illegal .I am now officially suffering from compassion fatigue. The world really is a nasty shithole, which most folks here in the USA don't have a clue about...unless they have "been there and done that". I am that terrible word "Isolationist" ...what we do by opening the floodgates (like Biden did )was to make sure the labor pool of those who live here is dilated with cheap help... it depresses the value of everyone's labor when you flood the country .I care about my grandson & granddaughter (for the record their name is Garcia) I honestly feel It would be better to raise the standard of living for americans than spending our time and treasure ( Read my tax money) on other countries whom hate our culture and would quite cheerfully destroy it in a heartbeat
They definitely can't tariff each other, but there are many ways to implement something that functions like a trade deal while still obeying the letter of the law. States do it all the time. The DoJ can of course challenge any such arrangement in the courts, but I don't have a lot of faith in their competence under Bondi.
The federal gov also has very little leverage over California. Biggest donor state by a huge margin (3:1 VS the runner up, New Jersey). The rest of the country is basically California's little bitch.
Read the US Constitution, and you will discover it is not at all. The Commerce Clause is pretty clear that states cannot engage in their own international trade.
It also says Congress has the power to decide how money is spent, and that funding allocated by Congress can only be rescinded by Congress, but that hasn't stopped Trump and Musk from just doing whatever they want anyway.
Yeah with Trump wanting to withhold federal money from blue states, while the blue states are net payers of said money, eventually the blue states will just say fuck you we are doing our own thing then.
Article I. Section 10: "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
Such as not receiving the congressionally approved FEMA funds??
If the Feds aren't upholding their promises to the states, the states aren't going to have much choice in finding alternative, legal or not. These are things that keep society civil and without them, it's miserable chaos.
Yeah that last line seems like identical reasoning for why Trump is able to impose the tariffs. Seems to me if he can illegally fabricate a fake emergency to do that, then states who are going to suffer a very real economic emergency from the tariffs should be able to to the same.
You don't actually understand states rights, clearly, since states rights would fall under the 10th amendment, which says any powers not expressly granted to the federal government are given to the states or to the people.
International trade is expressely given to the federal government, not to the states, in the constitution. Specifically article I section VIII, and congress has given some of that power by law to the president for the purposes of fulfilling his article II powers to engage inn foreign policy, negotiate treaties, and alliances, in behalf of the United States.

States rights and all, correct?
