California governor critcizes president for ‘putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs’
California to ‘actively monitor’ possible threats after Trump said Iran could ‘take out’ LA and San Diego Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. Donald Trump was accused of “dangerous, if not treasonous” behaviour after his comments suggesting he could “let [Iran] take out” Los Angeles or San Diego. They can take out a city.

I’ve said this in the past but I really do think that if a civil war, balkanization, or federal weakening were to happen it’ll start here in California.

That could be a problem for them as well, its not inconceivable that said bases could end up being surrounded and isolated or otherwise dealing with defection.

March on the White House? He’s constantly expanding the secure perimeter. Most recently he’s announced he will be fencing off Lafayette Square. You can barely see the place from the street anymore.
The White House is 3,000 miles away from where I live. That’s not really feasible.
