Watching the one idiot get run over for standing in front of the vehicle was funny AF to watch. We aren't playing by 2020 rules anymore libs. FAFO.

Oh and we're almost done nixing these idiots government healthcare so when they do injure themselves over by trying to be a human shield against a moving government vehicle they'll go into debt (and eventually bankruptcy) to resolve their self inflicted medical problems. Either that or State taxpayers will have to pick up the tab. Literally everyone wins!

He should probably cancel mid-terms. To keep us safe. Maybe the 2028 elections as well.

Donald Trump is going to murder Americans in the streets with gunfire. The casualties will mount into the hundreds as resistance to his dictatorship stiffens.

Trump can't wait to watch people die under his direct order. It doesn't matter if they are Americans or citizens of other nations.

He hates humans, except for autocrats, toadies, and most of those in his downstream bloodline.

Elections are just opportunities for Liberal Communists to gain control and ruin a pertfect opportunity for White Christian Nationslosts to put this country back on the straight and narrow path to redemption. I'm pretty sure a bunch of you skipped church last Sunday and OMG! you're planning to skip again today? Are you really that Godless? I don't know about anyone else but YES!!! i KEEP God out of mt life as much as possible! And I live across the street from a Mormon Temple but, though they have tried on many occasions there is no chance they will ever convert this happy sinner!

This is more so a reply to everyone who bitched and moaned at my comments ... At this point, if you're going to act as a "martyr" for actual criminals who your party let in to the country by turning a blind eye and claiming "compassion" I genuinely do not care if you get tear gassed, run over, or arrested when you get in the way of the government doing what the people voted for.

Again, you were told Trump wasn't messing around and now you're finding out. This is the tip of the iceberg.

We all predicted that Trump would jump on any chance to use military force against the citizens of the United States.

There is immigration resistance soon to be followed by economic protests.

Some of us are going to get hurt. By that I mean to include some of us who contribute here.

#17 | Posted by Zed at 2025-06-08 08:33 AM

Using National Gard troops and even threatening to order active duty Marines to take over for perfectly capable police from that city is actually Trump's rehearsal for a militery dictatorship that he will pretend is necessary to maintain order in a nation that is peaceful. It would be great if the military just told him no we're not doing it!

My fervent hope is that in the course of whatever horror to slaver to see, you get caught in it and suffer along with the rest of us.

NO ONE voted for dictatorship. Except you, of couse.

#19 | Posted by Zed at 2025-06-08 08:37 AM

Zed, no one including George Soros's cash is forcing anyone to "protest." If people want to act like idiots they'll be treated as such. If they want to face to the full force of power the government has they're about to find out just how badly they'll lose.

To borrow off of Rein's comment, there's a reason why when someone asked if I would be attending the "stop the steal" rally I told them no and only an idiot would show up to something like that. I was correct then and I'm correct on this. You don't ---- with the US Government.

Nothing that happened in LA is an emergency worthy of military action.

#22 | Posted by Zed at 2025-06-08 08:41 AM

Zed, this is my final reply to you. There's no need to cancel elections. The Democrat Party's approval rating is at 19% and this issue along with the Transgender sports issue are the two area's Democrats perform the poorest in. You guys keep digging your own grave in those areas so why would an election need to be cancelled?

#23 | Posted by Bluewaffles

Trump's consolidation of power as dictator?

Just a wild guess.

You do realize that EVERY nasty prediction about Trump's behavior has come true to date?

There's every reason to expect the worst from him.

And the worst from you, you miserable sumbitch.

Of course he does. The only limit on the president is congress and SCOTUS stopping him. Neither of those branches will be doing anything of the kind.

Unfortunately, no one could have seen this coming.

If things get as bad as Trump obviously intends them to get, you're as likely to be included in the list of people who get hurt as anyone.

You people will enjoy no special protections in the face of widespread brutality.

You'' be dragged screaming from that little fantasy world you've assiduously developed.

I had thought that economic disaster would do that to you first, but perhaps I was wrong.

Trump is Overreaching.

Is this a Reichstag Moment?

California has legal jurisdiction. Not the Fed.

If California as a state decides to go easy on immigration enforcement, it's their decision. Not Trump's, Not ICE's.

I thought Republicans were against federal overreach. I thought they believed in limited Federal powers and State control of enforcement.

Deploying Military personnel against Civilians is a Crime.

The Federal government is enforcing federal law. California nor LA County, or city have no legal standing.

This occurred as well when Texas and LA complained to SCOTUS.
