After all, wxthout proper ID, there is no reason to believe they are ICE and not some street gangs in the kidnapping for ransom business.

I mean the real ICE are also a criminal gang kidnapping people
Newsom should just disband the California National Guard and start giving out recruitment posters for the California State Guard which is exempt from federalization.
I wonder if that's a financially feasible scenario. I assume the National Guard gets some amount of federal funding and maybe access to equipment that a state militia wouldn't have access to.
The Wikipedia article you linked indicates that a large part of what the CSG does is directly in conjunction with the National Guard. If they're toothless without the federal group, then it wouldn't make sense to change the system.
That IS technically what the 2nd amendment is for. "A well regulated militia...etc".
Well regulated my ass. I can get guns easier than my teens can get 3/2 beer.
what is 3/2 beer?
They’re referring to beer that is limited to 3.2% alcohol by volume. Historically (and even still in many parts of the U.S.), you had to go to a dedicated liquor store to buy beer or spirits that are stronger. Beer that is limited to 3.2% can be sold at convenience stores and often at normal food shops. Due to its low alcohol content, it’s often considered garbage beer, “yard beer,” or American beer.
It’s often easier for underaged folks to buy this kind of beer, since these shops do not always card their clientele, whereas a liquor store will usually have a better culture around checking ID’s.
Also, just because it’s on rotation in my playlists, Adam Carroll’s Oklahoma Gypsy Shuffler makes reference to 3.2 beer.
3.2%? you call that beer?
It's like sex on a boat: fucking close to water.
In the same way that ketchup is considered a vegetable in the U.S.
sorry for commenting without reading the whole thing, you explained the naming well
lol, no worries. My comment wasn’t intended to be sarcastic toward your response. Definitely intended to mock how dumb the U.S. legislative system is.
yeah, but my response was dumb
To be fair, it’s usually pretty trash, as beer goes. I actually thought your comment was more of a meta-commentary on the beer itself!
A common adage, typically with 3.2% brand names swapped in for ‘American beer’:
What do American beer and making love in a canoe have in common?
They’re both fucking close to water!
They’re referring to beer that is limited to 3.2% alcohol by volume.
Holy shit, it’s a real thing.
Up here in Canada, you’d have to get a Radler to get anything 4% and under. I don’t think I’ve ever had a normal beer under 5.5%, and some of our beers go clear up to 7-8%. And I’m not even a drinker - I have maybe a single drink a week, and typically go months between drinks.
I mean, sure, you can get the dealcoholized/0.5% stuff, but that’s like sex on a boat.
Yeah. 3.2. Sorry about the typo
They can also get some guns easier than some beer.
Would be funny if the ICE agents started having some serious mishaps.
Mr American Psycho will put himself in prison before he attempts to do anything radical on behalf of the people of California. He will have the national guard execute all the homeless people in LA before the World Cup though, you can count on that.
Buckle up, Dems will run him as pres soon, and Dems will lose every branch again for it.
Why didnt the left vote for our right-wing psycho that promised to harm them less than the other right-wing psycho? Obviously this means the dems need to move further to the right.
No, it will be personally your fault for not believijg hard enough.
But yes.
We're so cooked, the rightwing propaganda has already incepted the notion that he's a radical leftist anarchist sympathizer into the population. I overheard some folks at work talking about it, some otherwise reasonable enough people.
Not a bad idea.
Ie a civil war
Leader of the pro-Trump Project 2025 suggests there will be a new American Revolution
Kevin Roberts said the revolution will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”
This was 07/04/2024
Too bad the kid missed on 07/13/2024
Was gonna say, that’s how you start a civil war.
Not saying that’s a bad idea… But the implications are worth looking at.
A civil war is really the only good (realistic) outcome.
Where does the half beer go? Asking for a friend.
