You mean the Man who Deployed Secret Police in his FIRST TERM is Deploying the National Guard in his SECOND TERM? I did NAZI This coming!
Doesn't trump lose horribly every time he goes after CA?
He'd have better luck waiting for something to go down in the Midwest, but yeah, w/e good luck.
Especially in a town known for its history of riots. LA is ready to kick some nazi ass at a moments notice.

He fucked up every investor by around $200,000.0 each. Lots of love for this guy to go around. Somehow he keeps buying into higher and higher places. Purchasing the seat of the US presidency may not be the end.....China has a heck of a lot of people to fuck with!
They've been salivating for an opportunity like this. I bet they thought it would have happened already
It's starting!!! The downfall of democracy, we had a good run!
Or its revival. This might become the spark that turns these protests into a revolution.
A new Boston massacre may be in our future
Remember this, everyone. The Boston Massacre was the day that "laid the foundation for Independence."
He described the patriots who were massacred and shot at as a "mob." His arguments in court ensured that six of the eight British soldiers were acquitted, and the other two were charged with manslaughter, not murder.
Why? Because he was a traitor?
No. Because he was a Patriot. Because justice is blind. Because the people of Boston would have lynched all eight in the town square without a fair trial.
Because they were a mob, and they had every reason to be a mob. The soldiers, in turn, had genuine reason to be afraid for their lives, and there was no proof that six of those eight soldiers killed anyone that day.
Those were the arguments that a founding father and future President made in a court of law.
Even the enemy is human, and deserves a fair chance. That is what due process is. That is what justice is. That is one of the many great ideals that founded this country, and it is being ground into dust beneath the boots of Fascism.
Be patriots.
Oh, that happened the instant the SCOTUS declared the president above the law and Biden didn't say "fuck you, idiots", fire all the justices who ruled in favor of that decision at gunpoint, appoint all new justices in their place, and then declare that ruling void by fiat. If you're about to say "the president can't do that", the SCOTUS declared the president above the law, he actually can.
we had a good run!
I'd rank it as 'just OK' compared to how the rest of the western developed world is doing and how many resources and advantages we had from the start. We can do much better next time. I think in the upcoming defederation we are not only going to let the south secede, we will insist on it. Godspeed to texas, florida, and the south.
Distraction or not, Trump is a coward who thinks deploying soldiers at a protest will make him look tough. It doesn't. It makes him look scared and pathetic.
