I just can't get over how many people I'm seeing here in these protests who are fighting for these people and don't seem to know or care that the people they're trying to protect wouldn't even piss on them if they were on fire.

It's the same with the 'free palestine' types. The real palis would gladly kill all the kufir faggots that support them if they could. There's a giant swath of fools that want to support those that hate them the most, I suppose so they'll be forgiven or rewarded somehow. "But I'm on your side" as the knife comes to their necks ain't gonna help guys.

ETA and Newsom does look like shit lately, ever since around the fires he just looks old.

You seem incapable of holding the same opinion for 2 consecutive posts. Every time your stated reason why Trump shouldn't end the riots is questioned, you find someone new to shift the blame onto. The bottom line is that Trump is the Commander in Chief of the US military, and there is a slew of illegal foreigners rioting in many major cities for the 5th day straight. If he doesn't have what it takes to wield his power effectively and put an end to it, then he does not deserve the power.

That's not what i said. Trump can't authorise deadly force because it's not his jurisdiction. Otherwise there would've been nothing stopping Biden from executing half of Texas. Deadly force is not called for or necessary, and anyone with a brain cell would realise it would just escalate things. Imagine you had an - oh never mind that's an impossible request for you.

Attention, because they wanna post about them being "one of the good ones" on their preferred social media, etc. Really basic shit.

But there's certainly plenty who think Pablo will save them if the tables were turned.

Even Vietnam, the thing that the whole world likes to rub in Americas face as being "defeated by farmers with AKs", was nothing but US victories the entire time it went on. The US pushed the VietCongs shit in in nearly every engagement, the Tet Offensive failed, the Cong signed a peace treaty so the US removed most of their troops and military apparatus, then the Cong broke the treaty and the US basically just said "okay fuck it" and left after 2 years because people didn't support the war anymore and most of the military was already gone.

15 dead Red Vietnamese for every American. And the "farmers with AKs" completely glosses over the North Vietnamese having tanks, fighter jets (even some aces), etc. I think most people legitimately don't even know there was a South and a North Vietnam.

From yesterday:
A man in the anti-ICE crowd rushed towards an LAPD officer with a pepper ball gun and gets lit up with pepper balls and hit with a baton before running away.

Footage of this incident was posted earlier in the thread but here it is from another angle.

Ah the good ole PR-24, I miss carrying one.
 
lol there's not going to be a civil war over this. Neither NYC nor LA have their own standing armies. At best one could argue that Trump violated The Posse Comitatus Act or political norms, but a president pushing against legal boundaries is hardly noteworthy.

Also immigration enforcement is one of the few pillars of Trump's platform that has broad bipartisan support. You won't find many Americans willing to join le heckin valid rebel army for illegals.

After technical difficulties Governor Newsom announced and triples down, placing full blame on President Donald Trump for the escalating anti-immigration riots. Newsom accuses Trump of choosing escalation and dragging a military net over Los Angeles in response to the unrest.

Governor Newsom: "Friends, are quite literally, disappearing."

I’ve reconsidered and I think he’s smart to capitalize on this from a DNC perspective. Even though the majority of Americans voted for Trump he’s earning points with democrat voters big time.

That's Newsom?

People ITT were saying he's popular because he's a thirst trap for liberal women....Maybe it's the crappy video quality or the head-on angle. or the big head on a turkey-gobble neck with small shoulders....but the first thing that struck me was "he looks old". Not Joe-Biden-old, but still old.

He has power and pretends to be masculine. That's all it takes for women. They are pleading, begging, for a masculine totem of their cause. Hasan has fat kid mannerisms and wears booty shorts, but he is still adored by the she-witches.
