I just don’t like wasting money, and a border wall is a huge waste of money. I can’t imagine you like wasting money so I’m confused as to why you want to waste it here.I support waiting until you get approved not just pretending immigration laws dont exist and merrily strolling across while Democrats look the other way.
Who could oppose a border wall and sane policy I proposed?
That's when Trump's insanity was restrained by his handlers, the Republican Party.Once again Trump can't keep his lies straight
His description in 2020 is what this law actually says. He just realized he doesn’t need to follow the law any more.That's when Trump's insanity was restrained by his handlers, the Republican Party.
In typical fascist style, he has long since purged any Republican who is not MAGA, who is not a boot licking yes-man.
Now the people surrounding Trump only tell him what they think he wants to hear.
People on the streets? Insurrection! Military!!! Dew it!

High probability of brain damage from a point blank skull shot. Death from brain hemorrhage is also potentially on the menu. ACAB.
No, you support the immigration process being so terrible and onerous that people end up coming in illegally instead. As many others have pointed out, the bills democrats put forth include more funding to process people and get them in legally, but republicans always shoot it down. Instead you support stupid symbolic gestures like a wall that people just end up circumventing because we haven't fixed the root problem.I support waiting until you get approved not just pretending immigration laws dont exist and merrily strolling across while Democrats look the other way.

There's pretty specific limitations on deploying non-Guard military on American soil, IIRC?
Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the National Guard troops that were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or the city’s mayor.
The deployment of the full Marine battalion marks a significant escalation in Trump’s use of the military as a show of force against protesters, but it is still unclear what their task will be once in LA, the sources said.
In a Constitutional Republic, sure.There's pretty specific limitations on deploying non-Guard military on American soil, IIRC?
Yep, but POTUS has the power to invoke the insurrection act and then can use troops against citizens.There's pretty specific limitations on deploying non-Guard military on American soil, IIRC?
So far the protests are relatively small. From hundreds to a few thousands here and there, tiny by LA standards. The population of just LA county is greater than the entire state of New Jersey. If the admin is trying to precipitate something larger they could well get way more than they've bargained for.
It shouldn't be up to one person, that's a fundamental mistake.You know how you end a Republic?
Have the President declare an emergency.
Was probably a mistake to have the executive use of force loyal to a single person.It shouldn't be up to one person, that's a fundamental mistake.
Normally it wouldn't be, but the GOP has abdicated their duty to the American people and the Constitution and installed a bunch of cronies and lackeys in the roles where previously people loyal to the US rather than an authoritarian leader would have intervened. Democrats are, of course, also complicit in this failure.It shouldn't be up to one person, that's a fundamental mistake.
LOL so naiveI find it hard to believe all of the LAPD and CA National Guard are loyal to Trump and support beating and harming protestors. I'd be curious to know if any of them object to what's going on.
Some folks forget history. In the 92 LA riots, they damn near burned down 32 square miles.So far the protests are relatively small.

They don't have to be loyal to trump necessarily. They just need to be loyal to the systemI find it hard to believe all of the LAPD and CA National Guard are loyal to Trump and support beating and harming protestors. I'd be curious to know if any of them object to what's going on.
