    https://x.com/atrupar/status/1932540135263887632 Trump goads the troops into booing California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass and attacks them as "incompetent" Comment from the Twitters: "The military isn’t supposed to be politicized. We’re way past that. Imagine soldiers booing a governor and mayor because they were in the other political party in like 2008. Wouldn’t happen. This is a different world."

    Wait, what?????????? Trump is saying Newsom and Bass paid the protesters in L.A.? Where is he getting that from?

    I would too, but one would have to prepare to be arrested, no matter how peaceful the protests are.
  6. Patience, grasshopper. Wait until the full impact of the tariffs is reflected in the rasing of prices on just about all consumer goods. This is not a question of "if" just a question of "when".

    From a daily news email I get from the NY Times: Nationwide protests By Lauren Jackson The protests, once contained to small corners of Los Angeles, have spread across the country. And cities are waking up to more. Downtown Los Angeles is currently under a curfew. Police officers wrestled protesters to the ground in New York, used chemical agents in Atlanta and monitored large demonstrations in Chicago, where people vandalized vehicles and threw water bottles at them. In Los Angeles, the police flew in a helicopter and threatened over a loudspeaker to arrest anyone who broke the curfew downtown. The fight between California and the Trump administration has also escalated. In a nationally televised speech, Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who may have presidential ambitions, argued that Trump’s deployment of nearly 5,000 federal troops to Los Angeles was a dangerous authoritarian step. “Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom said. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived.” The protests are expected to continue today: Marines will be in Los Angeles to protect immigration agents and federal buildings, expanding the government’s rare use of military forces on domestic soil. The Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has called in the National Guard ahead of protests planned in San Antonio. Trump threatened that protesters across the country would be met with “equal or greater force” than those in Los Angeles, which he called “a trash heap.” He promised to “liberate” it.

    The Mexican Flag Is the Confederate Banner of the L.A. Riots

    National Review article at OP is written by Rich Lowry From the opinion piece: "The response of sensible Mexican Americans should be" Don't you love how a white anti-immigrant conservative like Lowry is speaking on how "sensible Mexican Americans" should behave.

    It is well documented by friends, family, members of Congress and multiple sources that Pelosi does not drink alcoholic beverages. Quit repeating that lie.

    Trump birthday military parade debacle

    This guy makes the worst analogies/comparisons ever, which is one of the reasons I put him on ignore. Yes, it is very common to have the military march as part of the POTUS inauguration, going back to George Washington's first inauguration. That is not the same thing as having a special military parade in a President's honor as Trump has scheduled that costs tens of millions.

    Yeah, where is he getting this "lot of death" that he says Newsom has caused?

    And if he sends them in to confront and deal with protesters, things will get really ugly fast.

    I always love hypotheticals about things that might be happening in a parallel universe.

    Those who continues to participate in the peaceful protesting against the ICE actions are not guilty of any crime and are not encouraging those who engage in criminal activity in any way.

    Like those who voted for Trump expecting prices drop and are getting the opposite with these nonsensical tariffs?

    No, they are saying if Trump is foolish enought to have Newsom arrested, it will probably do that. However, his standing up to Trump here (which one always needs to do against a bully) has elevated his standing among the 2028 Democratic POTUS nominees hopefuls

    No, Kamala didn't contribute money to bail out those who committed crimes. only those who were arrested for protesting (with one exception which was a mistake).

    They keep saying it is the people who are protesting the ICE arrests who are engaging in looting and violence, but there is no evidence of that. It is just lawless thugs who have no interest in politics and probably aren't even registered to vote taking advantage of this situation like they did in 2020.
