“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior …”
Dude that’s your entire administration. Have some self-awareness, you orange, sagging, coffin dodging oxygen thief.
Who, Trump the thirty-two times felon?
Never met the guy. We’re talking the 34 felony convicted man.
Oh, right, 34 felonies. So far.
34 convicted felonies so far
Don’t forget rapist. Probably liked them young, like his buddy Epstein.
allegedly he asked epstein for a 13 year old that looked like his daughter.
And heres a lives of the rich and famous type show where ivanka shows us her childhood bedroom. Watch her face after she shows her bed, right near the end. She looks like she’s about to fall apart.
Based on his comments and Katie Johnson’s testimony, I don’t believe he ever had sex with Ivanka, though he very obviously wanted to. I can imagine based on her reaction in that video that he assaulted her in some way, though, like groping.
“Aides said [Donald Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019.
“Afterward, Kelly retold that story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was ‘a very, very evil man.’” source
Trump assaulted Jill Harth repeatedly in the early 1990s. On one occasion he pulled her into Ivanka’s empty room in Mar-a-Lago to try to have sex with her on Ivanka’s bed. source
Ugh. He’s such a monster.
It has begun. Trump unleashing the army against the population fighting against his gestapo.
I am very fearful that many protesters will be murdered in the coming days.
And things will deteriorate quickly
I expect them to switch to live ammo within the month
I think days, weeks if we’re lucky
Boston Massacre 2.0?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a post on X that the Defense Department is “mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.” ~ABC News
They are already threatening to send in Marines…
They’ve been jerking themselves off to deploying the military against California for decades. This is their fantasy come true and they can hardly wait.
Makes me think of this song.
Der da dum der da dum
I just want to take a moment to say the “Biden was no better than Trump” crowd can go fuck themselves.
These things are always so annoying and uncritical. They are not wrong that the democrats are a conservative party, but that is still where the current progressive movement lives.
I think there is a bit of a trap in seeing the maga rise as a monolith, but I think there are two main wings. The evangelical side and the libertarian side. They might have some overlap, but their motivations and goals are still rather distinct. The important take away for this short essay of sorts is that they have agreed on enough points to move the overton window to get large parts of what they want. For the evangelicals it is abortion bans and ten commandments in schools. In the libertarian wing it is DOGE (inspired by the libertarian president in argentina)
Tankies and others who say “Biden was no better than Trump” are really messing up our ability to have a leftist/progressive party. In either growing it with-in the dems or starting from scratch. I want to understand what they are saying, but it is frustrating how unserious they are in actually achieving goals.
How about “America has always been a shit show, and Trump is the parody version”?
trump isn’t the parody version… he is the logical, and inevitable end point. he is the perfect avatar and representation of what america is, what it stands for, and what it has ALWAYS stood for! trump is the perfect president because he so perfectly encapsulates every single american value: he is lazy, fat, stupid, corrupt, proudly ignorant and scared of anything he doesnt understand.
how do you look at 250 years of american history and not see that he represents exactly what made america ‘great’? genocide, slavery, segregation and jim crow laws…
the people downvoting you are morons and i’m not sure why they’re even here.
What are you accomplishing right now?
They accomplished saying the people that helped get us here with idiotic false rhetoric can go fuck themselves. I’ll add preferably with something sharp.
Whatever side of this issue you fall on, you should at least know that, tactics-wise, joining with the LAPD to do raids in Eastside LA is not going to work how you think it will. There’s movies, albums, books, historic moments in living memory, etc. that warn about that. Start in Sacramento or wherever. Don’t expect East LA to care about your “authority.”
The powerful and their goons seem to have forgotten that sure they can roll up anywhere with an army and overpower protesters, but that’s not going to solve this. It’s just going to start a true resistance.
There have been few times in history where resistance forces have fought state forces on an open battlefield.
As seen historically, a typical resistance force will harrass the enemy. Bomb their buildings, stockpiles, and infrastructure. Wait until the state goons are alone, at their homes, at the bar, in a grocery store and then that’s when they kill them.
All sending the national gaurd in to kill protesters will result in is a true resitance forming.
The powerful have forgotten what it was like to be afraid to leave their fortresses
Agreed. If protestor blood is spilled, it will foment a resistance that will build.
I hope I’m not giving too much credit for a strategy, npbut it might just be an attempt to provoke a reaction. Either California backs down or they resist and there’s an excuse to take over. Look for a bunch of masked thugs to try to arrest Newsom for “treason”
One word - drones.
Only useful if you know when and where someone will be. Obviously heightens surveillance capabilities, but they can’t be everywhere at once
I’m pretty sure they were throwing drones in on the side of the people, not the government.
Plus regular people can get hold of drones too.
You should look at the fields in Ukraine strewn with the fiber optic cables of 100’s of kamikaze drones.
I mean yeah the US military always has the option to raze entire cities to sniff out a resistance. I doubt that will be done
I don’t think the threat is coming from the military in this case, it’s coming from MAGA.
East LA. The best Pawnshops in America!
I don’t know history well…do tell or link some reads?
This has been going on so long that there’s an 80’s Cheech and Chong parody song about it.
The 1992 riots started in South Central, which is historically African American. East L.A. is sort of the hub of Hispanic “immigrants.” (immigrants in quotes there because America swiped that land after the Mexican-American war; lots of Hispanic Americans didn’t cross the border but had the border cross them).
I don’t live there. I’m just an enthusiastic idiot. I love Los Angeles. So, I can’t do its history justice. Hopefully, someone else can. I have friends there and I go there a fair bit but it’s not my hometown so I don’t want to misrepresent L.A. (I live in New Orleans so L.A. and LA—the postal code for Louisiana—get mixed up a lot. So, I use L.A. for the city. No one else does.)
It’s just Cheech on the song …the two had split up by that point and Tommy Chong refused to have any part of it.
My apologies. I wasn’t following their career closely when I was 7.
The Irish resistance is the closest analogue to what that kind of armed resistance would look like.
These people are protesting against extrajudicial deportation, deporting children, harassing legal immigrants, the Nazi government, etc.
It’s not a fucking immigration protest. They didn’t deploy the military for immigration protests. People spoke out against Nazis and the military was called in.
Yeah, it’s no longer an “immigration protest”. It’s a NAZI protest.
This is actually insane. Bringing tanks to a knife fight… except it’s not even a knife fight it’s a thumb war. This is going to cause country wide rioting and Trump’s only recourse will be to further up the anti. I feel worried for you guys.
This is all predictable. By next summer, besides more immigration crimes, we’ll have food and product shortages, massive tariff-driven inflation, an economy roiling over his constant market manipulation, Luigi’s trial, arrests of prominent politicians and resistors, etc. There will be protests against all of these issues and more, and he will use those protests to stir up trouble and create violence.
By next summer it will get really ugly, and he’ll declare Martial Law, and suspend the Midterm election, so he can preserve his Congressional majorities.
Without Skum to rig the election, he will have no choice but to go with the Martial Law option.
more immigration crimes
You really mean, more trumped up, fabricated, magnified and fake news, immigration crimes.
Why wait until next summer - it’s happening now.
The reason they will wait until next summer is because of the timing. If they declare Martial Law now, and suspend elections (the real objective), they have more than a year to fight about it, and get the courts and the SCOTUS to rule on it, with plenty of time to deal with the aftermath.
But if they just spend the next year escalating it into chaos, then declare Martial Law next Fall, and suspend elections, it will be too late for the courts to do anything about it before Election Day passes, and once it passes, it’s over.
They could impose Martial Law now, and just not suspend elections until next Fall, but they need the people to get really fired up first, so they will feel more justified in suspending the election. Martial Law now would only suppress the attendance at protests, and right now the MAGA Nazis want them as big and violent as possible.
This summer they light the fuse. The bomb goes off next summer.
It seems to be escalating now though.
Right, this is where they’re starting, so imagine where we’ll be by next summer, in the midst of one of the most important elections in American history.
“Trump’s only recourse” lol don’t make it sound like he’ll be forced into something he’s been working toward all along.
There is a good reason not to follow unconstitutional orders.
Well, more than a good reason, it’s in the UCMJ and drilled into you in basic.
And rather than fighting against people who can’t reach your home, those protestors can strike back. I hope anyone in the military realises that he’s putting their own family at harms way. That may very well change the equation. I’m sure they are willing to risk their own lives, but are they also willing to risk the lives of the kids?
The question is what will convince individual troops and units that their orders are illegal. Disobeying orders isn’t something the military takes lightly. In theory a court order should be proof enough, but who knows these days.
I’ll just leave this here.

I’m not actually surprised that the second american civil war starts in California. Cali always seemed like the most progressive state.
2000 Guardsmen. For a city of 3 million. And a governor who doesn’t want them there. Sure. Good luck with that.
Shit MAGA creating their version of Tiananmen Square. I guarantee the fucking CCP and Russians are smiling.
Repeat after me: A government that is bluntly sending weapon to bomb kids have no concern of it is own citizen.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
I’m afraid he’ll declare martial law. What happens if he does?
We all know what it takes to remove fascists from power
There would probably be no consequences for him, but the “martial law” would probably be ignored and not happen.
As I understand it, in the US, martial law can only legally happen if the courts are unable to function. Basically, if things are so bad courts are unable to judge people, you let the military judge them.
The law hasn’t mattered so far. It is illegal for him to deploy the National Guard without the governor’s consent, which was not given. Not only was it now given, but Trump went out of his way to denounce the governor while illegally deploying the National Guard.
The US is no longer operating within the constitution, it is operating under the appearance of one, an appearance that falls apart the closer you look at it.
What you say and what I say don’t contradict. ICE is already acting as if martial law was declared, ignoring due process/habeas corpus. If Trump declared martial law, those that still follow laws, constitution and the courts would keep doing so and those that follow Trumps orders above all would also keep doing so. There would be no substantial change.
Hence Trump’s verbal war on the judicial branch of our government.
Oh no worries. Trump is such a fan of insurrections he hands out pardons by the thousands for them - every single pardon personally signed by him, and totally not by autopen, I’m sure.
Seriously, though. Can’t wait for him to cry victim and pull a surprised pikachu when all this pushback to his antagonization makes it to the steps of the White House. Hope he keeps the surprised face until the bitter end, and that end can’t come soon enough.
Yeah, this is fucking depressing. Anyone wanna fight about Linux distros?
Not much of a fight when I use ARCH
But why not Arch with a mix of Rocky in the network acting as NASs and small edge compute nodes?
Biebian or Hannah Montana Linux
TempleOS
Biebien and Hannah Montana Linux are affronts to god, whereas TempleOS is a tribute.
Do either of you two know how to get to that bird game in TempleOS?
Ill do you one better. Windows is superior to Linux! (N.b. this comment is strictly to cause a ruckus)
Pfff, Amiga OS rules. (nb never used it, but but you asked for ruckus.)
Naaaaaw. Commodore 64 all the way. KCman is still the shit
I appreciate your contribution to said ruckus
And so it begins.
