shithole country
Trump left his tinydick phylactery in Los Angeles and sent the people who would have been correctly convicted at the Nuremberg Trials to try to find it, but he has to keep sending more because it is so small.
“Assist” is doing some heavy lifting there…
I keep seeing people talking about the Marines and the National Guard being deployed, and this is certainly egregious and the blame for it rests squarely on Trump’s head… But I have not seen many people mention that the LAPD are not being deployed by Trump. They are being deployed by Californian Politicians, and from the livestreams and videos I’ve seen, the police are the ones shooting LTL rounds and flahsbangs at civilians and reporters. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the police response has been unacceptably violent, national guard or not. It is the violence from the police that has historically, and will in this instance as well escalate the situation.
I think LAPD are essentially their own political institution, barely accountable to civilian or elected leadership
Trump is a traitor.
Traitor president.
The sooner Americans learn to accept this is the historical event currently unfolding, the sooner we can take care of him and his enablers.
They should refuse the orders and arrest Trump and everyone else involved in this shit. Which includes a lot of the administration.
Assist with WHAT?
Not American and maybe I’m just OOTL but this confuses me as well… I’m aware of a peaceful protest against the mass deportations, but what else? Why do they need armed soldiers??
We don’t. This is all for Trump to wave his dick around
To prove empirically that he is a king and the constitution is dissolved.
It’s the next step in his takeover. He already controls the government. He controls business through tariffs. Now he needs to control the people.
Once he’s got control internally, he’ll turn his eyes to other countries. What we’ve seen so far with his threats will become reality as he annexes Canada, Mexico, and Greenland to secure natural resources and wages a full economic war on anyone else who challenges him (China, EU)
It’s pretty textbook rise of Nazi Germany 1930s. None of this should be surprising.
Yeh as a Canadian I’m pretty sure we’re next after he crushes the democratic states. Can’t build an empire without conqueting your neighbours.
Occupation.
Correct answer. The fascists in charge want to do to California what Israel is doing to Gaza.
Piece of shit traitor. America will swallow him whole when this is over.
I really wish that the bad guys always get what they deserve. Reality tells another story though.
Assist with what, motherfucker? Continuing denial of due process rights?
what stops a member of the armed services from denying a command or order if it is unlawful? what about if it may be unlawful? (ie needs to be proven as such but “right now” just smells unlawful?)
Indoctrination/brainwashing.
The official stance is that they SHOULD ask questions and point out their objections… to their superiors. Who will, in turn, raise their own questions. Until it gets to a lifer who doesn’t give a fuck and just wants to burn a family to death so that they can take credit for a successful mission and maybe get promoted in a few years.
But, in the meantime? It doesn’t matter if you support The Mission. Hell, your NCO doesn’t either. But what matters is that you want to protect the men and women, but mostly men (because women are for raping back at base), in the foxhole next to you. So go get the gas can and follow some orders.
Officially the guidance is to comply but document and raise the question after…
Unofficially if you refuse and make it clear you’re taking the court martial and chain of command folds.
With this situation the real question is if they standby and watch ICE/cops abuse citizens, or if they interject and stop the violent side.
The military has much higher standards on what acceptable.
yeah makes sense. i think after the drama from the massacres in vietnam they must have tried to pivot and change tactics in those regards.
Everyone, go to your local retailer that sells crayons and get a variety of colors from different manufacturers. You never know what flavor or brand they will want so it’s best to have a spread. You can use that to barter or as a lure.
I understand Crayola is usually the preferred brand amongst marines.
BAH is not high enough to afford Crayola
Don’t cheap out on our military!!
Bring some lube, too. Not all Marines prefer to consume them orally.
This took less than 3 days.
Less than 3 days of mild protest in one city and Trump is saying the governor needs to be arrested and is using the military against civilians.
This wasn’t even classed as a riot.
In one neighborhood of that city.
That’s because it was nothing on Saturday. Trump sends in the National Guard and they make a lot of smoke. There were 3 or so waymo fires and some cop cars damaged. Protesters were hit by rubber bullets a lot though.
See for yourself.

This weekend is the totally not celebrating the rapist in chief’s birthday military parade.
There are… a LOT of concerns that is just an excuse to militarize DC ahead of midterms.
But yeah. That also means trump wants protests to go away NOW and an excuse to attack California always makes him happy.
Hasn’t there been national guard, and a literal wall around the white house for the last decade?
There are military resources available and heightened security around the white house. In a country where children either buy an AR-15 or get shot by one, that only goes so far.
Contrast that with an actively deployed and on guard… guard. Protests in DC will become next to impossible and “dissenting” congress people will be much less likely to ever try to get a photo op while pretending they care about stopping doge et al.
So this is what freedom looks like? Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed? Probably sitting in the parents basement surfing the net for manga.
Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed?
Siding with the cops and looking for a Target they can protect while shooting some n***ers.
Karl from InrangeTV is probably one of the only genuinely honest Second Amendment supporters out there and he summed it up pretty well (in his video on how Palantir/Doge is all about surveilance and The Government is already coming for people): The vast majority of gun nuts (youtube or otherwise) are silent because they align with what is happening.
2nd Amendment fanboys
That was just cosplay.
Where the actual fuck are all the active duty military personnel who all swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic? They are literally oath-bound to engage Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the United States.
Do your fucking job already!
Ah yes, why won’t someone else come to save us?
Collectively, you voted for this fascist. As a non-USian, I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold. Very similar to watching the Brexit debacle here in Europe.
Unfortunately this shit show won’t be contained so I wouldn’t be so gleeful in the end of the united states, this will get to you, the united states has the record of spreading the “democracy” where they see fit so it might be coming to a country near you or to you…
Fortunately nothing bad ever happens in Europe, so enjoy your smug superiority.
We don’t have yet a dictatorship where the army is shooting citizen and foreign reporters.
Orban? Erdogan? Mussolini making a comeback? I could go on…
Don’t you guys have an active war zone?
Right… Because you need 700 highly trained military personnel to deal with civilians.
