President Donald Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
what can we do about it? any attempt at peaceful protest is met with violence, intimidation and arrests. even in the most well armed nation in the world government force would annihilate any attempt at actual resistance. usa did have a pretty good 200+ year run. gg guys and good luck under the new order
Well Americans love talking about the 2nd amendment and how they need guns incase of a tyrannical government........
They already did that and he’s back in full martyrdom mode, so you can uncross.
Apart from the most hardcore taco fans who admit that even if they were shown taco diddling kids they'd still vote for him. Who is still oblivious? We're all watching the same thing you're watching.
The real question is what to do about it.
you guys are falling for obvious dishonest propaganda. there wont be a ceasefire and the US will continue the same policies that Biden had by sending all the weapons it can spare. dont worry your pretty heads, the war will continue in Ukraine.
17 years ago you told me that if I ever posted in your subforum again you’d have me perma’d. I hadn’t done anything wrong, you just didn’t like me.
Next one could be you, friend. A woman never forgets.
And I still haven’t forgotten that nasty PM you sent me either. It must have felt good at the time to say those things to a 21 yo girl who couldn’t fight back. That’s the thing with words- they can linger in a persons mind longer than you intended.
You don’t even know who I am, do you.
Post PM please.
Expose him.

Most of the ppl in this thread were alive and watched enough news during the BLM riots to know that what the left calls "peacefully protests" is slang for violent riots with a side of peaceful protests. Very few people are still going to fall for this "aw shucks, the left is just peacefully protesting again and cops are going into the protests busting skulls for no reason" nonsense.
Because of the left's recent political violence (BLM, going to supreme court justices houses, etc.), major dem politicians vocally/financially supporting the political violence and their intolerance of people with opposing views I think the dems are going to be labeled as the party of political violence and intolerance of others for a long time.

The "No Kings" protests were massive (wrt attendance numbers), actually peaceful, and the left was able to conduct all of them without any repercussion at all (as it obviously should be the case).
They were actually angry because they know that if there is no violence, the people don't give any actual ****, at all, and you don't move a single vote. Those in agreement stay in agreement, those who don't care, keep not caring.
While when there is some violence, even if it's basically always fully justified from the law enforcement side (as a response to actual rioting), with military control of the media they can spin it against the incumbents in government, like they did with the BLM widespread violence.
These days when the left organizes protests they actually pray some violent rioter come up and creates incidents, because otherwise the protests are useless.

Are you a 21yo girl Crossnerd?

Uh the national guard is still federalized right now and in control of the executive branch. Now Trump is taking over a bunch of cities with national guard after being allowed to do it with the keep ICE out of LA protests etc. I was on the ground and we had federal law enforcement and LAPD push us back when there was no violence whatsoever.
But nice lies

Didn't the US just have months of peaceful protests?
Don't get me wrong, the BLM protests were absolute garbage but to deny we did just have tons of peaceful protests is absurd.

Which is odd because the 2A was granted mainly to allow the arming of slave patrols in the Southern states. (That is what those famous words mean.) The US Army already existed for national defence and the Founders were certainly not inviting malcontents to overthrow the Republic.

I think you are confused. Washington DC national guard is *ALWAYS FEDERALIZED*, with the president at the helm (although the actual authority is usually delegated to the DoD secretary).
It's a district not a state, remember?
The District of Columbia National Guard is the branch of the National Guard of the United States based in the District of Columbia. It comprises both the D.C. Army National Guard and the D.C. Air National Guard components.
The President of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the District of Columbia National Guard
What happened in Washington DC was that Trump used the "District of Columbia Home Rule Act" that grants the president authority to take control of the city's police force for up to 30 days during an emergency. That's an indisputed power the president has, and afaik it's not being contested in court.
In LA, Trump federalized the national guard because of actual threats to ICE by violent rioters that tried to interfere with lawful operations of ICE (title 10 of US code).
You might not have witnessed violence personally but this timeline (by a leftist source) suggests otherwise
And LAPD (a democrat beast, fully controlled at all levels by democrat appointees) declaring all "protests" unlawful assembly after days of "protestors" (=rebellious individuals) trying to interfere with law enfocerment operations, removes any shadow of doubt on the legality of the behaviour of those violent rioters.
Trump use of title 10 instead of the insurrection act is being litigated: it's unclear whether title 10 is enough to overcome the posse comitatus act or not, courts will determine that in due time.

Not that this has anything to do with the NO KINGS protests i referred to, which happened on june 19, with no violence and no federalization of national guard and so on

The District of Columbia National Guard is the branch of the National Guard of the United StWhen President Trump announced his plans to mobilize Washington, D.C.'s National Guard and take control of its local police force, he suggested that other liberal-leaning cities could be next.
"You look at Chicago, how bad it is. You look at Los Angeles, how bad it is," Trump said Monday. "We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We don't even mention that anymore, they're so far gone. … We're not going to lose our cities over this, and this will go further."
Edit: Also I have a causal objection here because it’s somewhat underdetermined why Trump federalized the nat guard in that scenario. It was claimed to be due to violence, but I don’t believe him just because he said it, because if that was the case he could have gone through the normal process.
thousands of shops barricaded themselves when the "mostly peaceful" violent rioters appeared in their cities, after billions in damages in other cities, but ofc it's all a fabrication
It’s not all fabrication. But, you (and certain media outlets) are disingenuously highlighting the most violent aspects of protests that have been generally peaceful.
The only thing you reveal with these claims, is the type of news sources through which you choose to view the world.
You don’t live here, Luciom. You do not have any perspective from the ground level.
I really don't get why anyone would oppose same sex mariage
I totally get it regarding religion, but governement union
Who exactly does it harm
Cruelty is the point
The president cast his actions as necessary to "rescue" Washington from a purported wave of lawlessness.
Statistics show that violent crime shot up in 2023 but has been rapidly declining since.
Things that make you go "hmmmm"....

well if you blame the entirety of the left because 1% of protest of the blm didnt end well, imagine how much contempt we can put on the republican when 20% are totally in a pro fascist/cult .
ps: bringing the army in the street is surely not an act of violence am i right .
nice tolerance value when u bring tha national guard or u pardon 600 person that destroy the capitol ...
