The worst thing he might do that comes to my mind, isn't thwarted by peaceful protest.

EADA, European & Arctic Defense Alliance sounds like a good alternative to strife for instead of NATO.

We could show these ICE goons what European "hospitality" looks and feels like.

As an outsider viewing this I feel skeptical. Of these NG members who would turn on a dime if they get federalized and ordered to do otherwise? And whom will stand up for their state, it's freedom and it's citizens? The latter IMO is the most important question.

Kat, I'm from the other side of the pond and I've been following your journey to get ellected for some time. A tough question. If govs/mayors through legeslative means is too slow to stop or abolish a disruptive Fed agency and if protests yield little result. At a state level what options do remain?

I feel sad when I hear this man speak. Why? Cause he believes his state national guard won't abdicate to the federal regime. They have to otherwise this will turn hot, blue against red, in an instant. I think he knows this.

This is the snakes head hit-list right here. But it should include Thiel as well.

I'd say we should switch to buy resources from our ONE ally on the North American continent, our friends the Canadians!

This Nobel-price should be revoked by the Nobel committee!

It already is. Dont cope, start dealing with it.

And now they are officially in the unofficial federal army called ICE, armed with access to assault weapons and trained in their use.
And the that leaves rest of the population...this needs a very smart solution one that does not require an engagements at normal standoff ranges.
