Donating plasma works even better. They extract a larger volume of fluids per session, twice a week instead of once every 8 weeks.

Don't worry about the recipient: If you are donating plasma regularly, your PFAS levels will be well below average.

It's called "plasmapheresis", and they'll pay you $40 twice a week to sit in a chair for an hour while they do it.

Why is that a problem? I mean, I'm perfectly capable of blocking any comm or instance I don't like. Why do I need my instance's admin to do it for me?

If everywhere you go smells like shit, it might be time to check your own shoes.

History says otherwise:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Akron -- Sank off the coast of New Jersey

Except Trunp federalized the California state force

No, he did not. He federalized the California National guard. The State Guard is a lesser-known organization that answers solely to the Governor. They cannot be federalized. Which is why we're probably going to be seeing states putting more of their resources into their State Guards and less into their National Guard units.

As for the CA National Guard: Article I, Section 8, Clause 16. The State retains the sole authority to appoint the officers of the Militia.

10 USC 246. The National Guard is the Militia.

Newsom has the authority to appoint the officers of the National Guard. Revoking the appointments of the Commissioned and Non-Commissioned officers of the California National Guard, he effectively disbands the organization.

Trump has no authority to override Newsom's authority here.

They mix the mind control chemicals straight into the jet fuel. The pilots don't even know they are complicit in making chemtrails.

Most states have a token State Guard that answers only to their governor, not the federal government. If Trump keeps this shit up, states are going to start disbanding their National Guard units, and shifting them into State control.

I've only run across them a couple times. My state has fewer than 200 State Guardsmen.

IMO, It's more of a legal framework than a military force. The state's National Guard could be decapitated, and its body grafted in place under the SG.
