The Trump Presidency 2.0

Who do you think you are asking us to critically engage with issues to make (as best we can) informed decisions?
Once I scroll instagram, reddit, and tiktok for the next four hours I'll be back to tell you what I think!
---- Good article!
I didn't write this one, just posting it here for the convo.
Dude, this Elon/ Trump beef is the funniest thing I've seen this week. (My money's on Elon if this becomes a rap battle) It is arguably better than those two drunk Delta guys calling DJ Shipley a piece of shit on a livestream.
Oh well, time to work on my whirlquake Barbarian build before I cook dinner and finish Mobland. I think I'll save my latest Lego project for tomorrow night. Anywho, cheers!
Elon deletes tweet- says he will apologize if they drop the files. #8DChess

He was elected because of his parties support for Palestine and obvious disdain for Israel and Jews. The Palestinian protests have now grown significantly past what the Truckers have done and zero crack down on them. Oh and bringing in millions of Indians on "student visas" with zero enforcement.

You guys bring in millions of Indians on PR petitions...my former boss being one of them.
We just took in another 750k since January. There's over a million with student visas that expire this year or already have. No verification if they left or if they ever went to school.

LA Protests: Trump's National Guard Move Sparks Legal Concerns
LA protests: Trump's National Guard move sparks legal concernsInteresting move....
T10 activation, but no Insurection Act so can't preform LEO duties.
Seems like most likely usage is making a cordon while ICE conducts business, with whatever log support is needed.
Wonder if these 2k troops are coming from CA or other states? That's a whole other can of worms.
At the very least, I hope they're activating mostly MP units. They get much more training in DOMOPs and are less likely to do dumb shit (in my personal experience).
Love the article. The national guard activation is causing legal concerns. The Antifa domestic terrorists and illegal aliens are waving foreign flags and burning ours- setting fire to businesses, vehicles, property, and injuring LEOs. But the NG activation is the real escalation.
Send the marines for all i care- they’re going to vilify you for it anyway, might as well be heavy handed and give them something to cry about.
Last time this happened (2020) tens of people died and $2B of damage. I’ve had enough, I voted for it, send them all. Dudes are bored not deploying anyway.
And quick reminder for the suicidal empathy crowd about the use of the guard- Tim Walz used the NG to shoot paintballs at people on their fucking porch to endorce the George Floyd curfew in Minnesota. There’s video.
I don't see anything that is a legal concern about this. The guard does DOMOPs for support a fairly decent amount.
It'll (maybe) become something if Newsom really pushes it, but thats more because States usually have some more say in if their units get T10 activation.
Good example is a few years back where there was debate on activating some units to do the border missions and those states said no.
It does happen without State support, but that's a bit rarer. I'll bet by next week they've got an "understanding".
Now if they send in Marines or invoke the Insurrection Act? There will 100% being people losing their minds and filing lawsuits.
I thought that was local pd? Maybe I'm combining the porch+paintballs with the dude who fired back because cops were popping off from a van without identification.
Either way, trash all around.

When I was at Knox, we had active duty Soldiers on a volunteer basis of course for crowd control at Churchill Downs. You had two groups, uniformed and business casual (Churchill Downs provided a polo). This nonsense about the National Guard is a red herring.
Sheeeeeit, everyone who matters knows the NG option is 100% legal. State and Federal Government, advocacy groups, etc. Look at the language used in news stories and press releases. "Illegal" isn't being used to describe the Guard's activation or involvement. There are "concerns." The boogie man is coming!!!! Drone strikes for everyone!!!!
Whinging and whining trying to make this something it is not. Political theater.

Freaking CA Gov should have activated them under T32, instead of being a weak leader.
CA NG members have peace officer status when under T32....

They ain't got no money to pay them.
