Trump in fundraising off this calling it "My military parade"

Yup. TRUMP: If anyone protests my military parade this weekend, we will respond with heavy force

If anyone thinks this is just a celebration of The Army's 250th anniversary, I got a bridge I want to sell you.

If the jury got it wrong and the case was obviously so cut and dried as you think it was, then why didn't Trump testify in court? All he did was a video taped deposition and even screwed that up, identifying a photo of Carroll as his former wife Marla Maples.

Did you miss the Access Hollywood video where Trump braggs he likes to grab women by the ? And aren't there something like 23 other women claming that Trump also sexualy assaulted them? And no, I thought OJ was guilty and that Mark Fuhrman framed a guilty man.

If there is any violence at all, I expect it will be directed against those protesting in DC (no matter how peacefully they are assembling).

The LAPD was handling it fine, didn't need an assist from the National Guard, which is why neither Bass or Newsom asked for it.

No they didn't, but carry on since you want to run with that incorrect spin on how things played out.

And here I thought you were on my side. Well, one thread editorialized in the title and said Padilla "crashed the meeting" which is incorrect IMO and I don't want to post in threads that show bias from the start as it sets the tone for the rest of the thread. The other has the fake scripted Leeroy Jenkins video. I thought there should be an easy to find thread where one could see Padilla explain in his own words what happened. Plus I felt for future reference and subsequent news, Padilla deserves his on thread (just like Adam Schiff).

And do you think to the way to do that is to stop the protests? (I know that is what Trump wants).

Public Reaction: Advocacy groups call for stricter measures against human trafficking networks. Legal Precedent: Experts say the trial could set a benchmark for future trafficking cases. Next Steps: Garcia awaits further hearings as authorities build their case against him.

Why? The National Guard has had absolutely nothing to do with controlling the protests, all they have done so far is just assisting or accompanying agents on some of the ICE immigration operations.

Dude, I live in L.A., I know what has been happening here. Trust me when I say that people have not been terrorized by the protests, although there has been ongoing concern with how ICE has handled these deportations, with snatching people at places like car washes and at Home Depot parking lots, along with chasing migrants in the fields of Oxnard.

Took action? How? Trump had absolutely nothing to do with ending the looting (which was confined to a two block area in Downtown LA.) nor ending the sporadic vehicle fires.

And if they had, this would have gotten maybe a 1000th of the attention and publicity that it did. They played it wrong. I don't think before yesterday many people could have named a Senator from California outside of Adam Schiff. Now everybody knows who Alex Padilla is.

Wait, what...the protesters are paid agitators?

No the protesters are not rioting. That is a criminal element unconnected with the thousands who are participating in the protests.

No Straw Man, I have never said or suggested that there was no link with the riots and protests "in any way"

I have come to this floor often to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people. I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes … We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy."
