BREAKING: TRUMP INVOKES INSURRECTION ACT

BEARKING OP!

Whatever. Here's hoping they get stuck in traffic.

I assume I have OP blocked for a good reason

President Trump signed a memo late on Saturday ordering 2,000 National Guard members to be deployed in Los Angeles County after federal immigration agents in riot gear squared off with hundreds of protesters for a second consecutive day, the White House press secretary said.

Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed the call-up. “The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers,” he said in a statement. “That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.”

He's sending in the national guard, but I don't think he's invoked the insurrection act.

Trump's Reichstag Fire

OK, it seems he has invoked the insurrection act. My apologies.

LA had a nice ass but it couldn’t live forever.

If anybody know about insurrection, it is Trump, the insurrectionist president.

Oh, thanks Merrick Garland for dereliction of duty as US attorney general and contributing to the destruction of our democracy.

Expect this to happen to every protest going forward. Using federal goons in Portland during the 2020 protests was a test run.

I guess all those third-party voters and non-voters were right! Both parties are exactly alike and no one should feel any pressure to support "the lesser of two evils", huh?

It’s going to be a long, hot summer.

LAPD just released a letter saluting all the peaceful protests today, and asking Angelenos to keep protests peaceful. They also reaffirm their job is to keep the peace. Newsom releases statement that Highway Patrol is out in greater force to maintain peace. Trump overrides Newsom and sends troops into LA, and puts Marines at Camp Pendleton on alert, ready to send into San Diego if needed.

Trump and ICE is creating this ... exactly what they've planned for. Civil War and Martial Law. But "oh the Dems shouldn't be so woke..."

Situation all normal here.

[quote]The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

From Governor Newsom tonight.

I thought national guard were under the governance of the states. I could be wrong, but I thought that was the point.

The headline is incorrect. He invoked a different statute.

the ice agents look like these fellas

Is he trying to get California to secede? Is the US economy not in bad enough shape for him without that?

R16 That's the point. Trump is overriding the Governor. Unprecedented and likely illegal.

MAGA hate California because it's the richest state in the country or world, progressive, full of tech, innovation, startups, food, wine, entertainment etc, etc and Trump wants to throw read meat to his base.

He hates every location that’s an economic generator in the US.

I just find it funny watching the footage of people waving flags of countries they’re fighting against to go back to.

R24, I always feel the same whenever I see a Confederate Flag.
