States rights, right Republicans? Why are Republicans supporting the Federal Govt here? Plus California already sucks according to them, why do they care what Californians do to themselves?
Oh right, Republicans just say what suits them in the moment and are total fucking hypocrites and liars....
Read on Reuters how Trump is calling it "Riots and Looting" (in all caps e e) and the LA sherriff's department released a statement to the sound of "protesting."
Which, while protests can be stressful to say the least, when they've heated up- that's still a far cry from "riots and looting."
There doesn't seem to be any ulterior motive for the protestors beyond that people are pissed the government's snatching up members in their communities.
Note the specific words he is using like "insurrection". That is because "The Insurrection Act of 1807 is the U.S. federal law that empowers the president of the United States to nationally deploy the U.S. military and to federalize the National Guard units of the individual states in specific circumstances, such as the suppression of civil disorder, of insurrection, and of armed rebellion ..." Trump is keeping his word about the KKKristians not having to ever vote again....
Miller has already talked about suspending habeas corpus just for undocumented immigrants existing and deciding they're invaders or some shit. That fascist fucker has been pushing for this. And yeah, every statement from these fucks says "insurrection" never mind they pardoned people trying to overturn lawful election results and threatening to murder government officials.
My California beach town was invaded by weirdos in 2020, and some old 85 year old bitch almost crashed into my car and screamed “old maaan” at me… they just project whatever it is about them.
It's not just that, they're intentionally misusing the term. Call protesters/rioters "insurrectionists" and you get the term to be watered down and become the new "socialism" or "woke" scare-all tag.
He wants the violence. Martial law means no law, no courts, no congress no constitution. It empowers the military and give them the legal right to kill people in public and arrest people without cause.
This is the most important point that we (myself including) keep sort of losing sight of. Now is the time to stand up, it will be nearly impossible to dig ourselves out later if we wait too long.
Okay, yeah, you’re right. But that saying along the lines of “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now” comes to mind.
He wants to kill you. History proves that dictators kill people for speaking out. There’s books written on how to resist, they all suggest that being loud or actively against will get you killed. They suggest blending in and causing disruptions secretly. Destroy resources, block progress, impede their progress, arson and poison are better weapons than weapons. Do it from your workplace or places you’re supposed to be. Look like you’re on their side and sabotage. Kill like a ninja
It takes either an act of Congress authorizing it or the activation of the Insurrection Act for the President to take authority of a state's National Guard: Great Value Goebbels is pushing Trump to the latter. Courts, and the Governor, would challenge the attempt to define protests as an insurrection.
If I went to the protest I would be in a wheelchair which is an easy target for a asshole with a Grenade launcher. I wouldn't even be able to run if I had to and I'd probably get trampled by our own people if something happened near me. Wouldn't be the first time I've been overrun by a crowd just because my face is at butt level.
I've been watching vids on Bluesky, keeping appraised of the situation. I live in San Diego but like I mentioned I'm disabled so I don't always get out much.

There are always bad actors who will loot and steal and burn under cover of the protests. They then become labeled as protestors and here we are.

They know exactly what it is. Which is why they have to lie to direct the anger of their worshippers away from themselves.

Yep. They're building context for the military being deployed on US soil.

It's only an insurrection when Democrats do it. Otherwise it's just a sparkling tour group.

So what your trying to say is trump admin. intentionally beefed up ICE so it would eventually create public discourse so a protests/protesters can be labeled insurrectionist so they can put La/California in Marshall law? https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1ZmgzdjBpNGJjYWlrODBkcG84c25lMzhsZ2diNDh6bmR3YXZrZzhoYSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/fuJjrm6Cv2onpmpPEK/200w.webp

We have already waited "too long". It was 'too late' in 2021, January 7th, when it became clear that Trump wasn't IN JAIL.

Okay, yeah, you’re right.
But that saying along the lines of “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now” comes to mind.
