I might have to start answering those polls because there's a ---- ton more people who disagree than agree with his abuse of the military.

It also raises the question of are people afraid to say he's wrong?

That's all? Seriously? He deployed them against Americans. He deployed them against the mayor and governor's wishes. He deployed them without jurisdiction to do so. For something that is largely under control.

This isn't the Rodney King Riots. This isn't BLM riots. This really is a confined area protest with limited bad actors.

Morally (if you believe in that sort of thing) he may be wrong, but he's on the right side of the law.

Seems like its growing I hear in Austin there are protests causing damage.

He deployed them against Americans.

So did JFK.

He deployed them against the mayor and governor's wishes.

So did JFK.

He deployed them without jurisdiction to do so.

False, he deployed them like JFK because the Federal Government was being inhibited by State and local authorities from executing the laws Congress passed.

For something that is largely under control.

This is a pathetic response with no basis for the reality on the ground.

Is this tyrannical or not?

BREAKING: Compton, California, USA: Compton's Chicano street gang leaders put out a clip on social media, declaring their area of Compton a "riot-free zone," according to multiple reports. They said, "without exception, violators will be executed on the spot".

IMO it reminds me of after J6 the government wasn't going to ---- around like the way Newsom/Bass/Trump are doing.
They would toss you in jail and throw away the key.

But today you think Trump is tyrannical for doing essentially nothing, very strange.

1963. 62 years ago because of desegregation in Alabama. It lasted a day.

JFK didn't send 700 marines either.

Your whataboutism SUCKS. Back to the drawing board, derpy.

Although... the comparison of Trump to a Chicago Street Gang Leader is, however accidently, apt.

I dont believe that. I think a majority of Americans approve of what Trump is doing.

I think it's just you liberals in your echo chambers who approve of the protests. No thinking American approves of these protests.

What's his approval rating? I don't think you know what "majority" means.

#16 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-06-10 08:08 PM | Reply

By the numbers: 47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

#13 doesn't understand polling.

Let me help...47 is bigger than 34. Got it?

"Nearly Half of U.S. Adults Disapprove implies Over Half... Approve"

Only if you don't understand the concept of "undecided".

Trump created and manufactured violence in Los Angeles to distract from the Republican Budget they're trying to smash through Congress.

Too bad for our country Democrats have become such radicals without sense that now push policies like open borders, that are universally disliked if not outwardly despised by most American citizens. Open borders harms American citizens by harming our schools, healthcare, theft of tax base, causing a culture of more crime, all so Democrats can create a culture of gullibility and ethnic based race or demographic based caucuses that allows them to control and divide us.

Democrats obsession is ruling the sheep by injecting feelings and divide instead of creating common sense policies that make us a better society of sense for all..

That brings me back to the fond memories of "Unskewed Polls" that were tossed around showing Romney winning by 12 points.
