Gov. Ferguson signs bill restricting out-of-state military forces in Washington
Sounds like a good law. The comments on the article are absolutely unhinged.
Heh these are fun.
Edit: Hmm, I made 3 comments yet only 1 shows up. I wonder if they’re actively deleting anything that doesn’t fit the Trump narrative. All 3 appear if I’m logged in, very shadowbanny.
My personal favorite.
From the…comments?
WELL, IF ALIENS FROM SPACE, THEY WONT FIND ANY INTELLIGENT LIFE THERE.
Gold Jerry—gold!
unless they are mobilized by the president.
So is this purely performative or is there some case where this would somehow be relevant?
The state only has so much authority.
They have as much authority as they can get away with claiming. Since the president is brazenly defying laws, courts, and the constitution, there’s no reason states shouldn’t push for more autonomy, even if that autonomy may be legally contentious.
But really that’s beside the point. If the state government is too afraid to take a meaningful stand on this, they should focus their attention on other pressing issues instead of passing meaningless laws that make people feel better without materially changing anything.
So what happens when Little t mobilizes troops to go to Washington State? Does Washington National Guard fight them?
I think they would. There's a lot of regionalism, if that's a word, here in Washington. We are Washingtonians first.
WA has a state guard (the other half the second amendment) so they could just move them to there
Sounds like a good idea. Not that it'll stop them when they declare the insurrection act
And it begins.
The article specifies that Montana and Texas already do this, so it's unlikely to cause much of a stir.
It's just our governor and legislature trying to protect us. I'm glad to be in Washington.
