President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
Here's a inside look of what is really happening in LA. So much for peaceful protests. Not the most attractive group of people. This is why Trump had to send in the troops.

Have you been deployed or are you on standby, Iron Mong?
Of course...
Do tell... what's the upside for Elon to go along with this 5D Trump chess move?
i've heard this orchestrated theory, seems like twaddle. There are no positives for either party, so why?

There are definitely provocateurs there to cause chaos and they should be condemned, but the vast majority of people are peaceful. Also, that the protests got out of hand after the National Guard was deployed isn’t a good justification to bring in the National Guard. The protests were being handled by the local police in conjunction with the federal agencies, why we had to bring people in to inflame tensions is beyond me.
There’s a principle of deescalation that is being ignored here.
The military can act in aid of the civil power if the police aren't coping or aren't doing their job properly. Don't know if this situation warrants it. The governor seems to think not.LBJ ordered the National Guard to protect a civil rights march in Alabama in 1965, over the head of the governor, because the governor was George Wallace and the president mistrusted state law en
And to be clear both the national guard who got commandeered by trump and the marines deployed aren't there to substitute the police (the insurretact hasn't been invoked).
They will provide logistics to LAPD and protect federal buildings and federal personnel

The L.A. Police Chief said that his department didn't have the resources to deal with the protestors without help.
I live in Santa Ana where protests are currently taking place. No major confrontations between the protestors and police/sheriffs.
Exhibit #21824 of why i find the morals of christianity utterly abhorrent (while i guess pro-riot atheists should maybe reconsider?)
Jesus forced the moneychangers out of the temple.
There is no record of "destroying property."
And the tables that Jesus turned over didn't belong there in the first place. But no mention of the tables being destroyed.
Probably a photo-shopped image, too. 😀

That his department was temporarily overwhelmed doesn’t mean he would have deployed the army or the national guard. As he points out, they have ways of escalating the police presence through prescribed channels, which the nationalizing of the National Guard and deploying of the military disrupted.
In fact it’s very clear that the lack of coordination with local law enforcement at least partially caused this mess, although without a thorough investigation which likely won’t come it’s underdetermined.

“We could handle this. I believe that we would have gone through a number of steps before we'd have deployed the National Guard or requested deployment of the National Guard. We would normally go to 50 percent deployment to handle radio calls and to do the business of policing. And everybody else would be focused on the initial problem. Beyond that, then we would request through the sheriff mutual aid, and that would bring in members of the 44 other police departments in LA County, as well as the sheriff's office. And so that didn't occur in this case because it wasn't done through the sheriff or through the… up through the normal chain. It was done from the top down, from the president (U.S. President Donald Trump) directing that that happened. And then the National Guard was federalized. So, they're working for the U.S. Army, not for the California State National Guard.”

conflating race war with nationalist war might be a little extreme. yes i'm sure the far far right probably does want a race war, but for most, race isn't the issue, nationality is the issue.
Sure, but I don't think that that is main driver here.
When mong said this...
...is probably the prevailing opinion and desire for most magas living outside of So Cal.
If we later found out that the 2k people a day that were arrested actually had their papers up to date, would it be enough for the supporters of this admin to back away from this mission and instead say that everything is grand!
It takes courage for people to accept change when it has to deal with living a life that no longer means that everyone around you is going to look and act the same as you. It's inevitable, but some groups and some areas are going to adjust to it quicker than others.
Formula i think that if the 2k per day arrested people were found out to actually be legal immigrants, then supporters should ask for better execution of the plan of deporting illegal immigrants.
That at least 10M people in the USA are illegal immigrants is undisputed even by the left. So they are *somewhere*, and it's the administration moral imperative to find them and kick them away.
Because it's the law, and because it's the electoral promise they made while campaigning.
I might join the fun at the Federal Building in Santa Ana later today as your intrepid 2p2 at-the-scene reporter.
