The rubicon has been crossed...

Unbelievable — but this is California right now.

Trump is deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into the state.

This is pure authoritarianism. Trump is turning America into a fascist state.

Oh no! The violent rioters aren't allowed to do whatever they want!

11. All these MAGA cops and soldiers

have been all dressed up, with nowhere to go for four long years............They can hardly wait to be told to go for it by Trump and his CABAL.....

I vote for taking all these MAGAots that love to play dress up in battle gear with their assault weapons, being put on planes and air dropped into a war zone..............Let's see how tough they are when they face a group that shoots back..........rather than un-armed, helpless, peaceful demonstrators.......

Where can we send the violent foreign criminals and the America haters who support them?

Some are so proud that djt has embraced Fascism and will gleefully bring it to our streets. His private goon squad is willing, ready, and able to follow Team trDUMP's marching orders.

USA,.. USA,... USA.
God Bless MAGA's AmeriKKKa.

and embraced fascism some time ago, and Trump is their agent to destroy American democracy.

They plan to rule, not to govern.

Don't believe the other elections were stolen except indirectly like biased MSM propaganda and voting accessibility.

Is peace possible? Is it even desirable?

Increasingly, the answer appears to be NO.

I'm quite happy to sit back with a bowl of popcorn watching leftist scumbags burn their leftist-run shitholes to the ground. Have the National Guard throw up some K-rails and razor wire barricades to keep the crazy moonbats from escaping to spread the crazy elsewhere.

The left’s playbook appears to be:

1. Riot
2. Complain that measures are being taken to contain the rioting.

I don't know why the DUmmies can't understand/comprehend one simple concept:

"Don't start no shit and there won't be no shit!"

They are starting it.  The reason this didn't go on over the last 4 years is because the Right isn't prone to temper tantrums. 

You lost the election DUmmies, get over yourself.

Pete Hegseth is threatening to send active-duty Marines into the state.

DUpipo don't know that there is one of the US' largest Marine bases within 100 miles of LA?

If Mayor BASS and Goobernor Noisome allow and encourage interference with enforcement of Federal law and an organized riot, Federalizing the National Guard and use of Federal troops was and is warranted. Trump learned from his 2020 experience with a goobernor and mayor allowing and encouraging organized riots.

I would be, too; however, after they destroy them they take our money to rebuild them.

By rafts made of toasty legs?

When I was in the Army and later the National Guard we would train for riot control. Every 80-120days we would go on alert status ready to go anywhere at anytime and as part of our gear we had to draw out riot gear in the Army. I they could call us out in the 1980's for that then I am sure it is more than possible for them to call out any active-duty unit to go out and quell something like what is going on in L.A.. In the Guard we had to train once a year for like 4-6 hours to be ready to deal with crowds that get out of hand like in L.A. and I love how all those people at DU and other place who have never serves seem to know just what we are allowed to do. If they knew they wouldn't be talking shit about it. I hope that they do arrest Newscum and that idiot mayor I think they would look fabulous in Orange, the very color of the man they hate. The irony would be over the top for sure.

FEMA's been defunded. Anybody planning on rebuilding in the leftist-run shithole of Los Angeles can afford much the higher insurance premiums on top of the government shakedown.

...

The 700 Marines came from 29 Palms rather than Camp Pendleton, and 29 Palms is, surprise! surprise! surprise!, ~100 miles from the center of LA.
