Trump's Second Term

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?

MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

I would say that I wonder what he would consider heavy handed, but the answer is trying to arrest people storming congress...
 
by the way, if you think your 2a right is safe, they're sending in the troops for people throwing rocks at a tyrannical government agency violating people's constitutional rights. it's a dumb fantasy for men with small penises.

TBH, I hope not, but it doesn't look good, and I'm old enough to remember what happened at Kent State.

This isn't that. What Lankford is talking about is people saying you can't arrest us for being in your country illegally...while flying a flag of a country that they obviously fled for a better life.

Better to be undocumented in white supremacist USA than legally back home.

And when there are, they will all be "foreign invaders" and "enemies of America." And you'll be shocked at how many Americans will just change the channel to "Wheel of Fortune."

Perhaps he needs to employ you so you can provide an explanation of what he said with words that he didn't say?

And Tiananmen Square.

(btw, since this is a skeptic's forum, and because this is a major pet peeve of mine, saying 'Tiananmen square' is actually misleading because the actual massacres happened throughout the streets of Beijing as the army forced its way in and people tried barricading streets and stopping them, while the protesters who were actually at the square were surrounded and then allowed to leave. Still an atrocity, but I dislike myths and misreporting)

There's a touch of the uncanny valley to Trump's White House.

I'll take his money for sure however all you need to do is listen to the clip in the embedded tweet, unless of course you're trying to make dome sort of argument that throwing rocks at cars in the violation of federal law he's talking about. You can even go a little bit further and bring up a transcript of the entire conversation.

FIFA might be concerned if fans are only allowed to display the flag of the USA, quite apart from a number of fans having been banned.

Yup, I remember the old days when the number of soldiers that died in Vietnam were put up every night.

I wish DHS or ICE would also put up the numbers of those deported. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at how low the daily number is. It's why they're going after easy prey.

As a matter of fact, when the fat clown took office in January, the DHS Facebook page actually did post the numbers, but not any more.

I actually started a thread here to actually follow those numbers, but after a couple (two or three) weeks, they were hard to find.

We can confirm that California National Guard troops have now arrived in Los Angeles.
The first group got here a few hours ago from San Bernardino county.
They’re currently gathering outside the downtown LA detention centre, where illegal immigrants are taken after being detained.

The NG website says it was brought under federal control using Title 10 of the US Code

According to CNN, the last time a president federalised the National Guard was during the 1992 LA riots, external
 
Donald Trump’s “border tsar” Tom Homan has warned that someone could “lose their life” if clashes between protestors and immigration officers continue.

“It’s a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt… If this violence continues, someone’s going to lose their life.”
He says Trump’s unusual move to send in the National Guard is needed “to help us protect public safety”.
According to Homan, the National Guard are there “not just to protect the law enforcement officers but to protect this community, because people are going to get injured”.
