We're very likely about to see the President use the military to attack American citizens in an American city.

Our country will not survive 3 and a half more years of this.

Those people are flying the Mexican flag. That signals a takeover of American land. Those people are not Americans.

"Our" country will be just fine. YOUR liberal utopia will need to go somewhere else. The actual citizens of the U.S. have woke fatigue.

The other half just finally got tired of liberals/progressives. And it's about time.

For a taste of what's to come, go back and look at the video of the national guard shooting at people who were doing nothing other than watching them from their balcony or porch in Minneapolis.

Seriously... Boaz-0 think about what you are saying.

The US military hasn't won a war in 80 years... fighting against poorer countries than itself...

Trumpanzee is desperate for a deflection right now... rouse the troops because he doesn't have the nuggies to start war on foreign soil... like Bushturd2... after burning our allies... and besides... we always lose... soooooooo no one is going for it... again...

Now... you're talking about using the military to invade a state and enforce emigration... why not just cut California loose... take your military and leave?

Or how about letting California secede and lease land out to the military...problem solved... nope... you're going to arrest the Governor... take over the state. GFY

pppppffffttttt... get over yourself Boaz-0 you goofy little Trumpansy... ooooooooo you such a tough guy with your big bad self... libruls are gonna payyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

BTW... We're going to have troops everywhere... troops are already everywhere... everywhere... all over the place... e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e..
Seriously...

I've lived a lot of places in this nation... and always some military something or other was nearby... where you least expect it... soooooooooo now you want to make it a ghost story.

Idiot says what?

Even Homan disagrees with you. All Homan said is that anyone, and that includes Bass or Newsom, aren't above the law. He then said they haven't broken any law and there's no reason to arrest them.

I wish he'd get a clue about his boss and apply that same sentiment to him. That's way more likely than you ever getting a clue.

Such fraudulent patriotism deserves a re-examination of your vow to "uphold the Constitution" and to not participate in insurrection stuff or treason.

Half? Seriously, you overestimate this dictatorships support.

How could this end well for Republicans and "conservatives" in general? By hunting and imprisoning entire neighborhoods to exotic Sudan, el Salvador or North Dakota?

I imagine that you don't know your factual roots beyond the generations brought here, and I am sorry for that loss. The Mexican flag displays racial and cultural pride, not at all different from truck nuts or "Guns On Board" or any merc-themed t-shirt with a biblical passage. This argument was used to defend the confederate flag. How does it make you feel when you see someone wearing one of those?

"As South Dakota governor in February 2024, Kristi Noem threatened then-President Joe Biden when Democrats said he should federalize the National Guard in Texas to disrupt that state governor's anti-immigration efforts.

If he did, Noem warned, Biden would be mounting a "direct attack on states' rights," and sparking a "war" between Washington and Republican-led state governments, she said in a Feb. 6, 2024 interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity."

The whole world isn't liberal progressive... and they can see with their own eyes... the weapons it takes to "win" a war are the weapons our species can't use (again) without universally catastrophic consequences to all living things.

The only nations we don't mess with have those weapons... which is why they are so popular among nations with large business enterprises.

Republicl0wns pick wars they can't win... because the kinds of wars we can fight... and everyone outlasts them... then comes the ensuing mental butt hurt... following military defeat... blaming... finger pointing... bluster posturing... cultural psychosis

Hitler had post military butt hurt too after Germany lost WW1... so did a lot of his peers... going on and on about (if only) fortitude... he had 17+ million people's worth of fortitude... He was wrong and still lost.... again.

What are you trying to win?

Donald Trump is insane. This is as yet more evidence of this insanity.

Insane people tend to be rigid in their thoughts and behavior. Donald has been easy to predict because of this.

Easy to predict the violence; easy to predict the dictatorship.

Easy to predict increased attempts on Donald's life as he draws blood and money from other people.

People tried to kill Hitler more than fifty times. In the end he was forced to off himself.

Easy to predict.

Serious question, then how come your "we" didn't support the bipartisan bill to combat "illegal Immigration"?

#34 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-06-09 10:38 AM

If Trump was genuine, then he'd would've started his raids in a Red state like Texas, a place with far more -------. Instead, he's using big government federal powers to enact personal vendettas. That's what happens when a Brooklyn mob boss worshpper gets elected to Chief Administative Officer of the United States Government.

All About Donald Trump's Political Idol, Meade Esposito. A cigar-chomping, baseball-bat-swinging, mobbed-up Brooklyn boss

Normal American politicians can be expected to say they admire Lincoln, or F.D.R., or Reagan. Not Donald Trump. "Meade ruled with an iron fist," he said admiringly of Amadeo Henry Esposito, who ran the Brooklyn Democratic Party for 15 years, from 1969 to 1984.

There was a bipartisan and comprehensive immigration bill in play just last year. Trump scuttled it because he wanted to use immigration to continue stirring hate. Now he wants a civil war and a dictatorship. Our Representative Republic is almost dead.

TRUMP/MAGA exploit problems to advance the Caliphate, er, dictatorship.

There's no reason to trust anything TRuMP/MAGA does. They are never acting in good faith. They have no, or terminally elastic, values values. They've proven time and time again that they'll as soon as lie as look at you.

So, back to another prediction: TRUMP/MAGA wants bloodshed and they're doing nothing but increasing the chances for it. The outcome of the forthcoming massacres will be martial law and Trump suspending the Constitution and ruling by fiat.

After that, misery in blood and treasure for years until these indigenous fascists bastards are defeated.

The riot was caused by ICE abducting people off of the streets in LA.
