California Doing California Things

The Marines have no way to assess the quality of a shell before firing it.

And yet they advised both the CHP and the state that this was an "established and safe exercise" and opposed closure of the freeway. If every artillery shell is a game of Russian Roulette waiting to happen, how is it safe to deliberately fire them off over a busy freeway stuffed with noncombatants?

The biggest hazard to French and Belgian farmers along the old front lines from the Great War remains unexploded shells - even 107 years after the last such shell was fired.

Yup. In Laos, a country we were officially not at war with at the time, nearly a third of shells dropped failed to detonate properly, turning the Plain of Jars into a barely liveable land mine farm that regularly takes lives even now, mostly kids. In Phonsavan, the largest town in the region, mine dismantling is the largest industry. The American War ended 50 years ago, on paper, but in reality is still being waged.

A cousin of mine died in the same war over on the Vietnam side, unloading captured munitions from a truck. Bad seal or something, it was never exactly clear. He was a social worker, not a soldier as such, supposedly there to do outreach to neutral Vietnamese villages, but they were perpetually short of hands for manual labor and regularly conscripted their civilian volunteers for menial work.

Surely nobody in his right mind would fire over his own civilians, during peacetime. That would be insane.

Not insane, they just don't care about "liberal Californians" any more than the average American cares about Laotian farmers or Vietnamese schoolkids. We are all enemy combatants to them, either guilty of our own sins or those of our neighbors, and they truly do not care if any of us get hurt. If that shrapnel had hit an adult man in the head instead of a car, J.D. Vance would not feel a twinge of guilt over his role in causing it to happen. Tswizzle would give it an eyeroll emoji and refuse to elaborate.

You don't think a historically unprecedented live artillery exercise arcing over the state's busiest freeway is an event worthy of gubernatorial comment? Or you just don't think Newsom should be permitted to criticize the President?

If Newsom has any to say he should be questioning why the he’ll 15 miles of freeway was closed, was it warranted, why was it closed, what was the actual risks. But no, he stuns his mouth off. Insufferable prick,

Who would he ask about that, exactly? The California Highway Patrol, perhaps?

Seems your man Newsom was ultimately responsible for closing I5. Why do you defend this shit?

They legit bombed the freeway by accident and you're still complaining that it was closed for a few minutes? Just how dumb are you trying to make yourself and your political party appear? Of course they closed the damn road!

“legit bombed the freeway” lol, you and Newsom are such the drama queens. “Closed for a few minutes”? Lol, it was closed for a few hours and caused havoc.

Trump knows how to noise Newsom up and that dumb fuck falls into it every single time and just makes an ass of himself. That’s your pick for 2028? lol, Trump 2028 it is then.

Trump 2028 it is then.

This says everythng anyone needs to know about your political prerogatives. California needs no third term dictator. We will preserve the US Constitution long after the rest of the country has forgotten it, and you'll need to bomb us for real if you want to do a fucking thing about that. Which you won't, because you're fucking cowards, who do political stunts like this shit at Camp Pendleton instead of the actual work of running a government.
