Martial Law?

[HomerJS]

I said this would happen. ICE agents being allowed to roam the streets without ID, without warrants and covering their faces. Man pretending to be ICE agent ties up workers at a store and robs them. Trump administration is out of control but you knew that already.

Yes I love how nobody on the right seems to realize the problem with anonymous law enforcement is there's no way to know if they are law enforcement.

I don't know how much they care here though as I think sowing terror is the goal.

Right wingers talked so much shit about antifa wearing masks, this is much worse as ICE is supposed be an official government force so there's no reason to hide their identity unless they're doing really shady shit.

Roaming militias. Just like the 1800s wild west. 😱

Just like the conservatives have been hoping for.

Right wing media is brainwashing people into thinking LA is burning to the ground. The city is 503 sq miles. The unrest in contained within 1 sq mile.

If you do the math that's .2% of the city

What do we call armed thugs who are beyond the reach of the law? Outlaws! And what is the legitimate response to being approached by an armed outlaw? Shoot first. The Trump administration is setting up all federal law enforcement officers to get killed.

I'm not sure it works that way and come the 14th I think we'll see again that it does not.

I also think we need to distinguish between Trump largely getting to do what he wants and what constitutes a political "win" from implementing those policies. A lot of the stuff he likes doing people hate and it's showing up in the polling. Trump already produced one historic midterm loss for the GOP and certainly could do so again.

Yeah, I think Saturday has the potential to be really really really interesting.

Sure, the 'for what' was more a question of what we as the US gain out of this. Trump is trying to accreate power to himself with all this though, agree.

I don't think the leaders of this bunch have any concern about the overall state of the US as long as they are in absolute control. The nutters on the right running show very much strike me as how we take a straight path to The Handmaid's Tale world in almost all its respects. Except they would be for banning clean energy and burning all the coal.

$134 million in taxpayer funding just to make the situation 10x worse than if they weren't deployed.

Defense secretary Pete Hegseth says military will stay in Los Angeles for 60 days – live

Troop deployment, which has been heavily criticized, will cost $134m, Pentagon says; Trump doubles down on decision to deploy thousands more troops

And puppy killer lady wants to cut the Coast Guard shore facilities budget to almost nothing. The one organization that probably does the most to secure the border while also helping Americans every day.

They realize it. They don't care because people of color are being attacked.

This is why you can't reason with people on the right. She just waltzes past the CLEAR double standard and then proceeds to lie about the extent of unrest in LA.

What are you talking about? Se gave clear clean logical reasoning, at least in what I heard.

"Than was then. This is right now."

I mean you cant argue with that?

 

[HomerJS]

Excellent troll from Gavin Newsome's office. How soon before Trump executes Order 66?

Amongst the um not so great policy approval numbers released today by QU you again see the gap in "immigration issues" (conceptual policy) vs deportations (actual policy).

So the US has an almost 40% illiteracy rate or inability to think clearly or critically.

Same as the Russians. And they wants to erradicate the more capable ones. Great.

Pretty much.

Well, until the consequences arrive, anyway...

Maybe their grand plan is to get Russian immigrants who will work for one potato per day!

Do you know what the average reading level is in the US?

What consequences, exactly? They own literally every institution.

If you're referring to the voters, they would still do anything to justify not voting for a Democrat.

Duh, obviously the voters. Do try to follow along better, dear.
And along that same line, I should hope by now you know exactly where I think you can stick your doomerism, so spare us both and don't bother offering it up to me.
