NGL, there's something about repetitive, monotonous manual labor that frees the mind and relieves stress. Ive never worked the fields, but my Dad did. He and a friend used to pick cotton. Dad said they would get 3-4 pennies a pound in the 40s, he'd laugh and say Do you know how much cotton you have to pick to get a pound of cotton? he said they would sometimes piss on the bag to make it weigh more.
His mind was not for rent to any god or government

The TRUTH is that the riots, which attack federal officers in their official line of duty, in California are out of control and that OUR federal government have a right and a duty to send in the troops to squash them. Just like Kennedy did with Wallace back in the 60s during desegregation. Same/same.
I wasn't whining about it, I was relaying what veterans are saying about him spending tax money on a parade for his ego and taking money away from improving veteran's lives and barracks conditions.
The same thing here, I am relaying what the people are saying about Trump's abuse of power and overreach. And the protests are not out of control, that's propaganda, which you eat up.

Well, if MSNBC says it must be true... MSNBC's dislike for Republicans and the 45th and 47th President is well known and documented its not news its opinion-driven analysis dressed up and presented like news

Media bias is a messy subject—outlets like MSNBC, which lean left according to sources like Media Bias/Fact Check, often frame stories in ways that can exaggerate or mislead without outright lying.
Specific examples from available data include: - In 2011, MSNBC was criticized for pushing a narrative linking Sarah Palin to a shooting, even after evidence showed the shooter wasn’t a Palin supporter. They continued the storyline despite contradictory facts.
- In 2012, anchorwoman Andrea Mitchell aired a doctored video clip of Mitt Romney to make him seem out of touch, which could suggest a pattern of selective editing that might extend to Trump coverage.
- In 2022, a truncated MSNBC clip misrepresented a January 6 discussion, falsely implying Rachel Maddow said Trump had no role in the Capitol riot, when her full remarks accused him of inciting it.
- Media Bias/Fact Check notes MSNBC has been flagged for "Pants on Fire" claims, like falsely stating Trump was "talking about exterminating Latinos" or that he "never encouraged Americans to get vaccinated." These are specific to Trump and rated as outright false.
On the flip side, MSNBC’s defenders argue their coverage is rooted in real-time reporting and opinion-driven analysis, not always deliberate falsehoods. The network’s audience, 48% of whom are consistently liberal per a 2014 Pew Research Survey, might see these as valid critiques of Trump rather than fabrications. Meanwhile, fact-checkers like PolitiFact and The Washington Post have documented tens of thousands of false or misleading claims by Trump himself, which MSNBC often highlights, potentially amplifying their own spin.

What's wrong with you? MSNBC didn't say it- they reported it...veterans and protesters/people on the ground said it.

So, don’t “Vote for Pedro” now? Ha!
I believe strict term limits, outlawing Lobbyists and better control of immigration would go a long freaking way to fix some of the problems that we are facing in the west right now. Not just the USA.
There’s always a very small core of demonstrators that show up just for the violence and hate. If you don’t believe that, then go to one. You will soon see that the bully-boys will show up half-pissed and looking for a fight. Of course you have the social justice warriors/soccer moms with nothing to do who are always looking for a cause.
The rest are people just like you and I that believe in what they are protesting for. We don’t want trouble, don’t want to get brained by rubber bullets or bricks but just want to show their displeasure in a democratic way.
Meh, as usual, my 2 pesos…

That's what the Feds are doing.
Getting it under control
Because Newsom and Bass refuse to do so.

WRONG. They ARE out of control. The videos and first hand reports are clear. The police arrests growing larger by the day are clear. The propaganda is what YOU spew ... left wing propaganda, which you eat up and regurgitate all over the forum.

The Feds were not there at the beginning, they don't have a clue what was going on. It was always under control. Only the police and sheriff's resources knew what was going on, then relayed it to the Governor, Mayor and Police Chief. Most anarchists, outside peaceful protesters, have been apprehended.
It escalated after Trump sent in his personal police force which caused issues for the people.
Are you watching Fox News propaganda? You are posting word for word what they are spewing out.

No Kings Group?
"Kentucky gov Andy Beshear is actively joining zoom calls with figures like Al Sharpton, representing "No Kings Group" to rally and mobilize protesters."
