Trump is literally telling the military to bomb California during the No Kings protest. He’s really getting scared. Keep on protesting!

Who else here thinks there’s more to this story? Coincides with No Kings protests and we’re to assume this is just a celebration? I am betting it’s going to be a part of phase 1 of something truly nightmarish.

I’m Californian and I didn’t really like how Newsom was handling the state before the Trump administration, which my views have since then changed because he is like only one of two democratic governors standing up against trump

Ah! *There’s* that waste, fraud, and abuse.
God I loathe these fucking assholes.

Please tell me the importance of firing missiles over a highway.

What that degenerate goon keeps forgetting is just how many republicans live in this state. All of Orange Country was a Reagan stronghold until 2018, when Trump took it out on blue states by axing property tax write-offs.
I-5 is the main corridor from LA to San Diego in that area. On a weekend.

Missile strikes on California seems totally on brand. Is this before or after the UFC fight at the White House?

I’m fine with this as long as JD is catching the missiles at Camp Pendleton. He could have a couch.

totally won’t accidentally make an emergency situation where he then needs to “intervene”…

I sorta remember getting bombed at Pendleton many times. But that bloated traitor turning California into a naval missile range isn’t the wisest idea wormtongue miller has suggested to his puppet.

Um, am I the only one who thinks this sounds incredibly dangerous?

Dry run for bombing blue cities.

So this is basically what North Korea does from time to time, except Trump is doing it to the US because he wants to make war on California. Fun.

And lets not forget, spending money on military excercise while the soldiers running them go without pay

Man, there sure are a lot of military anniversaries to “celebrate”.

Seriously. This has gone a little too far even for that orange fuck. Time to get the hook.

Imagine the outrage if Democrats did this in mobile Alabama once they regain power…
Wake up people, they are only this brazen because they never plan to cede power again.

Might I suggest they target Mar-a-Lago for this exercise instead?
Win-win
