Feds to take control of 2000 Cali National Guardsmen for anti ICE riots

All I am going to say if all of these protests are partially financed by a foreign entity, all bets are off 

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Does it need a foreign entity though? Does there need to be a foreign reason to be sickened? Angry or want to protest?  Or is  Rep. Anna Paulina attempting to blur the lines between foreign adversaries and genuine domestic constitutional outrage.  

if you run with this protest is "Orchestrated by foreigners" you can say "all protestors are enemy belligerents" now.

That just seems like the angle for that line of paranoia to crystallize into a shitshow. 

I am looking forward to tomorrow's protest hopping. For this country, but more my state. China doesn't need to organize it any more than "hands off" for people here to want to go or set up a protest in their own town. Mobilization is as easy as the internet. Just search "Protest near me" and you'll get the interactive map/website. 

I assure you, theres enough opposition and outright hatred for Trump to do this without any foreign input at all. If anything we are the foreign input. The other global events pop up in solidarity with ours. 

And if there is a foreign association "globalists" is probably a better term. 

I'm sure China is pleased, though. Their go to is, "See what happens when you only partially influence the media?" The more distracted we are, the better for them. And they dont need to orchastrate a thing. Just watch. 

It just appears too organized because its easy to put large scale things together over the internet when you are motivated and pissed. The opposition needs only Trump to do things to get organized against him.

The left wing has seized upon the internet as a means of communicating its ideas to people. Evidence exists that Democratic staffers surf the internet, interacting with extremists to exchange ideas and information.

Thats extremely concerning, for much of America east of LA

I think the off topic post was removed. Thank you for responding, though. 

On topic. 

I don't see much tomorrow honestly. 

I see protestors seeing what happened in LA and going out of their way to not be stupid. Stay peaceful. As for the many in LA tomorrow, I don't see the military being too aggressive. Detaining people being destructive for LAPD to arrest and mostly protecting Federal property. Protests will be allowed to happen. 

I see it being (hope it stays) somewhat anticlimactic as far as unrest goes. We all protest. Vent. National Guard and Marines don't have to do much where deployed. People feel better.

I do enjoy the premise of undercover MAGA people filming me though. Almost exhilarating.

Best be on my best behavior.

I do hate when they do that, Ive been properly chastened as well

Here's to a peaceful weekend, though, and if the tired and huddled masses prefer El Guapo, so be it.

Oh, like Truth Social, and Musk's X?


Hmmm... Really?

[Heiden]

Whether or not that is the logic, the public perception will be that this happened purely because it's in California, and Trump has a bone to pick with Newsome. 

I'm not sure where the truth is, but the public perception will still see this poorly, I think. What the rioters did is clearly illegal. They should be imprisoned for what they are doing. But calling the military over rioters throwing rocks isn't usually the outcome of riots. 

That said, public sentiment is a hard thing to guess these days, so I suppose we will see.

The public perception  will be awesome because thuis is what most if the country wants

I think the right is starting to forget how they won.

Americans voted Trump I’m thinking it would be better for the economy, and immigration.

Now, I’ll give you that the latter mentioned ties into this. The riot started because we were deporting people, which is fine. But you have to consider that sometimes how you go about something can lose broader support.

Federalizing the national guard, and then bringing in Marines to conduct policing isn’t a good look for the small government and states rights party. Adding fuel to the fire, it looks like the decision was over a political spat between the governor and president.

To make matters worse, the US may engage in another Middle East war. I would venture to guess you all can kiss away the midterms for congress, and that’s going to take away Trumps sweeping support in the government and pretty much bog down his momentum.

This is the problem with the “mandate” narrative both sides have won. It makes them cocky and willing to gamble on the worst policies while ignoring the most important. The last thing we need is the country being controlled by the left as they have no clear leader or platform.
