Trump's memo activating the California National Guard:
Ok but is he going to actually activate them? Because yesterday was just BORTAC rounding up illegals during the day and the LA County Sheriff's Department handled the more riot-y types at night -- and the same thing happened as last time: everyone just destroyed shit until around midnight or 1am when the cops finally had the greenlight to actually do something.

The only difference between this strat and his first term is he's got BORTAC doming rowdy types immediately instead of waiting for federal buildings to literally burn down before deploying them.

On the other hand, do I care about L.A. destroying itself?

Also, how does he plan on enforcing a "no mask" clause when legitimately everyone is wearing masks? Jail everyone?

edit: okay apparently as of 10 minutes ago the National Guard has arrived lmao

They did that in ... Texas? No masks allowed at the protest, so when Antifa tried to show up the sheriffs and police stopped them and removed their masks, filming them the entire time. Some of them tried to get uppity but that didn't work. It completely fucked with their obvious plans on rioting, since they knew exactly who everyone was.

I could absolutely see him doing that here. What's that? Of course you're allowed to protest. Just take off the mask. What's this? It's a camera. Smile. Yes we can film you. You're in public, you have no expectation of privacy. Now take off the mask. No? Ok, leave. No? Disorderly conduct, failure to obey the lawful order of a peace officer, and hey what's that? Resisting arrest too. Oh hey, we booked you and found out you're an illegal, so bye bye. Due process? You just had it.
 
As a tangent, I hate to dog on a bystander, but this little animation is an interesting little distillation of baseline Los Angeles Latino/Chicano culture.


Despite its strange wholesomeness and portrayal of things from a Yas Qween POV, the longer you watch the more you get the disturbing feeling- why does it have to be this way?

It’s a world where things are petty and degenerate, nothing works, and everything is shoddy and rude- and it perhaps hits closer to the truth than other, more sanitized portrayals in media.

It's genuinely baffling to me how many people are willing to fight and burn for these people. You see plenty of good, genuine people. There are plenty of people that are minorities or legal immigrants that become victims of the machine, and nobody does anything for them.

But God forbid, you can't touch the drug peddling sex offenders that are here illegally. Those are the "good" ones that should be protected and you should lay down your life for.

Racial solidarity. Doesn't matter if they're rapists and murderers. Bagging a spic narco is like hanging Leo Frank.
Y-tee ain't touching our community. Dis our streets mufuguh. Viva la raza, reconquista.

Because, as John Stewart said about human feces and piss on the New York subways, that's the price of freedom.
 
When it comes to police and federal agencies that deal primarily with American citizens I'm pretty libertarian. I think qualified immunity is a problem, I think that police being used to steal money from the populace via ticket rackets and quotas is a problem, I think that police fucking up should be punished more and the cops shouldn't be able to just say "they smelled something" as a reason to breach your rights and search and seizure your shit.

However when it comes to ICE I'm ok with them having near fascist powers. Whatever they need, if they have to put a 100 Mexicans in paddy wagons every time they show up some places go for it. Give them whatever they need to prosecute and deport every last illegal they find.

Of course if they ever mix up an actual (not fake, bullshit) citizen into it that's a huge problem. It's kinda like blade runners "don't you ever retire a human, as long as you don't do that you can do what you want"
 
Well if you've ever read Biblical books like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, you know that war is a way in which God judges wicked nations/regions, so it'll be interesting to see how this turns out, regardless if California is invaded by the US military or not. All we need to do is wait and see if that's what is going to happen, maybe California will reap what it sows in some other way.
They're going to lose the right to vote in Federal elections.
 
Love the anti mask rule, hope it immediately leads to arrests. It was honestly why crime exploded during covid. Well not ALL of why, but it didn't help.

Also I still find it hilarious home Depot was the D day landing for deportation efforts.

If it's federal charges , unlikely. I think trump is very aware of that risk.
This is allegedly the man wanted for throwing bricks. He might be the same cyclist that was doing donuts in the Fox clip with the Mexican flag.

Look, I get the sentiment, however when you put an ounce of thought into this, this is such a midwit take. Law enforcement can't be a charity case. Sure it can exploitative, but the argument police departments shouldn't be financially solvent is lunacy. Do you really want your taxes constantly increasing every time they need an expansion or investment? All those fines don't just vanish, they go towards keeping these places running. You need government institutions to be solvent to be at least somewhat self-sustaining.

his son went on Hasan Piker's stream
I know it's Haram to say and think, but there's a non-zero chance Hasan just fucked his gay tranny son and everyone knows it.
 
What gets me about these larping revolutionaries on social media is that they think Trump is quashing civil liberties. The average citizen does not, and I mean does not have an appetite, anywhere, for more riots like in 2020. Even at the time there was a surge of first time gun owners (myself included); do they think people haven't been preparing for shit like this again? Even the federal government?

These mother fuckers think that with their bought, botted likes, they're going to change the government's need to quash this shit as fast as they can. Even more deluded, they're rioting over a top issue (immigration) that Americans had; where the equivalent of flyover State populations were flooding in from the southern border. Best believe the fist of god is coming, because even the state and local officials of California and New York are barely fighting back, taking no action, but are just saying these are "counter-productive" measures.

Best believe no one has an appetite for their economy to take a hit during this transitory period in the US.
 
.... Are you just like... conveniently retarded?😑

This is what people elected Trump on (among other things) with the popular and electoral vote:

Shutting the border and getting the flood of illegals out of the country.
I am trying not to blot out the unique suffering of Europeans who cannot walk outside at night
 
On the other hand, do I care about L.A. destroying itself?
This is how I felt with palisades fire. On one hand, I DO feel bad because some decent people might still live there, but I also think LA especially, accelerationism is an appealing idea. Especially since it seems like so much of it is teetering.

Its like a drunk abusive family member teetering on a cliff, part of you WANTS to help, and another considers pushing them off.


. I think qualified immunity is a problem
The problem is chaos is chaotic, and police DEAL with chaos. If you truly remove qualified immunity this gives immense advantage to criminals. It's why blm niggers loved the hands up don't shoot slogan as the idea was basically playing red light green light with force, menacing you with a knife? Green light!!! Hands up? Red light!!! Stabbing you? Green light!!! Wait, you are dead now. With the absolute worst you need leniency for force, like that's the essence why the dad who shot his sons rapist got community service instead of 10 years for BLATANT murder in front of cops. It wasn't killing someone over theft, or fucking his wife, the guy he shot RAPED HIS CHILD, and so it's much different.

Same for organized criminals. Don't forget el Salvador (?) mass incarcerated people with 0 chill, basically breaking down peoples doors, no due process, shotgun in the face, stripped them naked and basically shoved them into a convict warehouse, and their country was so improved after, it was night and day. We need to give ice that kinda power, fuck regulation, rights, process, if they are ILLEGAL, DEPORT THEM. I couldn't give a fuck what level of force or tactics are used to accomplish this. As long as results are had.

Why are there so many Mexicans waving Palestinian flags?

Is this just leftyception now where every Communist anti American ideology is just getting smooshed together into one big ball of retardation, body odor, and pride flags?
