Let's see how the Fascist in Chief reacts to whatever demonstrations are held during his grand birthday parade. If he gets his feelings hurt, this is a possibility. If I was able to make it to DC this weekend, I'd PEACEFULLY protest against this rotten crook's delusions of grandeur.

Sure you would. You work from home, right?

It seems like he's calling you bots, presumably in the context of some posts from the Left that he finds bot-like.  Therefore, not dehumanizing.  HTH

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.

So this is why the Marines are there, and...

So martial law by the weekend?

...Gutter calls this martial law.  He'd rather federal agents and buildings be left unprotected, like they were during the Summer of Love.  Hard to believe, but there it is.

Some desperately want to live in significant times and to have significant lives and so, instead of working to acquire the skills to be significant they try to interpret the current moment as significant and their actions in response to the current moment as significant.

[TBayXXXVII 2,521]

So, to make sure we're correctly identifying things....

 

It's NOT ok to use government resources to have a parade for a President (note, as mentioned in that thread, I think ALL parades are stupid).
It's NOT ok to protest an election..

It IS ok to condemn people protesting an election.
It IS ok to use government resources to evade federal law.

Our country is patriarchal and we must fight against it.
We must fight against people who want to protect women from men.

We must fight for women's right to choose.
We must fight against women who want to choose to be separate from men.

No I'm calling martial law, martial law.  If Governors request the national guard for their state, go for it.  I don't want federal agents or buildings attacked.  That behavior was wrong and I've been consistent on this unlike the magaverse.

But if Taco is gonna declare martial law and disperse the military across the nation to stop protests, then we have a big problem.

So true.  All of these college kids who've faced fairly little adversity, and certainly have no life wisdom.  They desperately want to feel significant, like they know something.

I almost bought a place at Grandby 5 years ago.  Big fan of big Lake Trout.  Grandby area is very underrated, and prices were reasonable.

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."

[supermike80 1,882]

I still struggle with the left justifying using violence, at all, as a response to the government's actions here.  it's NOT ok..It's never OK.  Yet, I keep hearing none of this would have happened if Trump didn't act on his promise to deport illegals.

That's flat out not true.  It wouldn't happen if the protesters didn't resort to violence.

Seriously?   That's the post  How did he goad exactly?  They booed on their own.    

That headline should have read  "Trump calls them incompetent, the troops booed them."

But no......Left media.  So dumb

There are some here who think it was, but now that I know at least two of you aren't OK with it, I can't safely not lump all MAGAs in with the Jan. 6 lovers, minimizers and whatabouters.

Now, if we could only get MAGAs to stop saying The Left loves violence!

As I posted yesterday, adding to your point:  the MSM gaslit them on the government's "actions."  ICE didn't raid that place in LA to get a bunch of "California men" who pick fruit.  They were serving out a warrant on a company accused of customs fraud, tax evasion, and other crimes.

I'm pretty confident nobody in that mostly peaceful crowd knows this.  Not even the college kid.

Thank you for proving my point. I doubt most of the "liberals" on here are even human. It's hard to believe that so many weak minded men who act like complete limp wristed pansies found their way to this board. Fake, just like the entire democrat party.

The majority of us agree that it was not Ok. 

I think this has been said here SEVERAL times. 

These "protests" always turn into people blocking FREEWAYS in our larger cities; LA, FFS. Go stand in the middle of an LA freeway for "the cause" and then loot and burn . This does NOTHING to show your support of immigration. You're just destroying that OTHER PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR. 

In 2020, I remember watching LIVE on the news of people in the middle of I-5 in Sacramento. Busiest freeway with HUGE semi trucks just cruising along at their speed; PEOPLE standing in the freeway. 

You want to be a martyr and go kill yourself because you hate ICE, go for it. But quit destroying other people's businesses, federal buildings, and other things.
