The president deploying the national guard, let alone the fucking MARINES, to “assist police” is a direct violation of the posse comitatus act, which was written to SPECIFICALLY PREVENT ANY PRESIDENT from using the military as law enforcement
Doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, if there’s no consequences
This is what so many people fail to understand.
When your boss steals $100 from your paycheck, you’re supposed to file a wage claim, wait years for your day in court, and even when you show that the company stole from you, the punishment for them is a small fine ($50 per person first time, $100 per person every time after that). You don’t even get the fine. The fine is paid to the state.
Now flip it around and imagine what happens when you steal $100 from the company. Immediate legal repercussions, multiple court dates, probation if you’re lucky and jail if you’re not.
The entire system is designed to fuck people as hard as possible while reserving the kid gloves for corporations and oligarchs.
I am gleefully awaiting the day protesters start disappearing federal agents/national guard. Fuck all fascists, even the ones “just following orders”. No habeas corpus is a two way street motherfuckers
This
Well, it actually does matter this time around. I think this is going to come back to Trump if we make it through long enough. California doesn’t fuck around.
Trump has been using the Constitution as toilet paper with zero consequences. Why do you think he cares about this?
We know who is really behind this stuff: Russell Vought.
The remaining question is: how to make it look like a suicide?
The “police” are already illegally supporting ICE in their sanctuary city.
Pigs are always class traitors
Every military and law enforcement member needs to understand right now that attacking protesters for exercising their First Amendment rights is crossing a line that they can never come back from. I, for one, will always hold it against any MAGA for the rest of my life. They deserve to be mercilessly shunned, ridiculed, and discriminated against for the rest of their miserable, stupid, treasonous lives. I own a business, and I will never hire a MAGA supporter, ever.
I’ll add to this do not go on vacation to any red state. Do not buy goods from red states whenever possible
ILLEGAL.
as if it even matters.
The Silver Lining: Media coverage of the extensive protests in every city in America has been so light, that some people are asking why nobody is doing anything. Meanwhile Millions of people are protesting across America. Some protests have been higher than 5 million nationally, and they are growing. At 12 million, we reach 3.5%, which experts say is the threshold for a “tipping point,” which leads to trends like revolutions.
But since the media isn’t covering it, most people have no idea how much is happening. That is, until HitlerPig and The MAGA Morons hit the stage and start puking all over everybody. THAT makes the news, and now EVERYBODY knows about the protests.
Somebody should explain the Streisand Effect to these jokers.
No, someone should definitely not explain it to them, lol.
That’s really interesting, where did you read about that tipping point. I’d love to know more if you have a recommendation.
Two books:
Mark Penn’s Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow’s Big Changes
Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
I especially like Gladwell’s book, and his other books as well. Blink is another favorite of mine. I haven’t read Penn’s book in a long time, it may be getting a little dated.
I read Gladwell already, which has its issues but taking at face value with a pinch of salt is good. I’ll check out the other one, thanks!
Assist with WHAT?
Occupation.
Correct answer. The fascists in charge want to do to California what Israel is doing to Gaza.
Not American and maybe I’m just OOTL but this confuses me as well… I’m aware of a peaceful protest against the mass deportations, but what else? Why do they need armed soldiers??
To prove empirically that he is a king and the constitution is dissolved.
It’s the next step in his takeover. He already controls the government. He controls business through tariffs. Now he needs to control the people.
Once he’s got control internally, he’ll turn his eyes to other countries. What we’ve seen so far with his threats will become reality as he annexes Canada, Mexico, and Greenland to secure natural resources and wages a full economic war on anyone else who challenges him (China, EU)
It’s pretty textbook rise of Nazi Germany 1930s. None of this should be surprising.
Yeh as a Canadian I’m pretty sure we’re next after he crushes the democratic states. Can’t build an empire without conqueting your neighbours.
We don’t. This is all for Trump to wave his dick around
Article 4 of the Constitution, they can’t take your house to do anything.
Seems the Constitution has been suspended.
All but the 2nd amendment, maybe 14th too
They should refuse the orders and arrest Trump and everyone else involved in this shit. Which includes a lot of the administration.
Plot twist: they round up ice and throw them in the brig
You tease!
Only if they were actually serious about their oaths.
Traitor president.
The sooner Americans learn to accept this is the historical event currently unfolding, the sooner we can take care of him and his enablers.
Isn’t there a law against this? Not that Cheetoface cares about those…
Somehow the criminal pedophile rapist doesn’t care about the law. Maybe if they vote for him the third time he will keep his promises
“Assist” is doing some heavy lifting there…
I keep seeing people talking about the Marines and the National Guard being deployed, and this is certainly egregious and the blame for it rests squarely on Trump’s head… But I have not seen many people mention that the LAPD are not being deployed by Trump. They are being deployed by Californian Politicians, and from the livestreams and videos I’ve seen, the police are the ones shooting LTL rounds and flahsbangs at civilians and reporters. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the police response has been unacceptably violent, national guard or not. It is the violence from the police that has historically, and will in this instance as well escalate the situation.
I think LAPD are essentially their own political institution, barely accountable to civilian or elected leadership
Trump is a traitor.
Not American so could be wrong, but there’s a law that they can’t do police services unless activated by the state not the president so that will be interesting
shithole country
