Joe Ferguson forever

where several of the newly-arrived National Guard troops stood shoulder to shoulder behind plastic riot shields. Video showed uniformed officers shooting off the smoke-filled canisters as they advanced into the street, causing protesters to retreat. It was not immediately clear what prompted the use of chemical irritants or which law enforcement agency fired them. What if it's found that national Guard troops fired the chemical irritants? Define your understanding of "support".

No future foreign ally should ever trust us again...

the rest of the story... https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-25-02-0282 "In the infancy of the country, with a boundless waste to people, it was politic to give a facility to naturalization;3 but our situation is now changed. It appears from the last census, that we have increased about one third in ten years;4 after allowing for what we have gained from abroad, it will be quite apparent that the natural progress of our own population is sufficiently rapid for strength, security and settlement. By what has been said, it is not meant to contend for a total prohibition of the right of citizenship to strangers, nor even for the very long residence which is now a prerequisite to naturalization, and which of itself, goes far towards a denial of that privilege. The present law was merely a temporary measure adopted under peculiar circumstances and perhaps demands revision.5 But there is a wide difference between closing the door altogether and throwing it entirely open; between a postponement of fourteen years and an immediate admission to all the rights of citizenship. Some reasonable term ought to be allowed to enable aliens to get rid of foreign and acquire American attachments; to learn the principles and imbibe the spirit of our government; and to admit of at least a probability of their feeling a real interest in our affairs. A residence of at least five years ought to be required."

Would he have died Jan 6 without being attacked?

And this is how you "win". cuz your life aint gonna get better. the basement will remain your abode.

?. Send more troops. Use rubber bullets? real bullets. What do you mean by raise your fists?

Does this sound like "support" to you? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/national-guard-troops-arrive-in-los-angeles-to-quell-protests-on-orders-from-trump The confrontation broke out as hundreds of people protested in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where several of the newly-arrived National Guard troops stood shoulder to shoulder behind plastic riot shields. Video showed uniformed officers shooting off the smoke-filled canisters as they advanced into the street, causing protesters to retreat. It was not immediately clear what prompted the use of chemical irritants or which law enforcement agency fired them.

see you in court. it'll probably end up in the rigged SC. Still, there may be some moral conservatives there.

3. no, they'd prefer to live here. And if they're here illegally deport them. Just don't invoke the military. 4. No. straw man. I don't know a soul who is against presenting to customs on entry. That's what passports are for. 5. No. The feds are turned into villains.

of course he loves this. The news cycle was a reason for this act. More sinister is the announcement that all protests may be subject to military actions. re constitutionalists and states rights, maga's support what ever is convenient (moral relativism). Consistency is not important.

too it took me posting it twice for you to actually read it. Keep living in your bubble. re the 85% that favored democracy, 31% are consistent with that statement. The o54% are either schizophrenic or lying. You can't support authoritarianism and democracy simultaneously. Perhaps they don't understand the words. And about that "law and order" maga's pretend to respect: https://www.yahoo.com/news/legal-issues-raised-trump-sending-031916485.html

just wait til they come to Charlottesville. Oh wait, they already did. I bet UVA is on their list of elite universities to attack.

read it again https://www.usnews.com/news/u-s-news-decision-points/articles/2024-09-11/survey-high-american-support-for-authoritarianism-as-trump-harris-clash are you among the 57%? I'll bet many here are...

You may be correct and if so we're in very dangerous territory. In this poll 57% of Americans agreed with the idea of authoritarianism. Right up there with China at 60% How did we get here? How can people who cried "freedom" over a vax be ok with authoritarianism? Totally inconsistent. But it appears that's where we are and where we are headed. https://www.usnews.com/news/u-s-news-decision-points/articles/2024-09-11/survey-high-american-support-for-authoritarianism-as-trump-harris-clash

And you know this how? We were out with a moderate couple last night who were appalled. Small sample but I'll bet there are many centrists like this.

yes, the election proved that. It didn't prove that most approve of military force against protesters. I'm sure a poll will tell us soon if that's true.

So the only way to solve this is to have soldiers with automatic weapons patrol the streets? Immediately go nuclear? bs. and btw, you are clearly deep red maga... Then it's radical to criticize or be disturbed by these images? No, it's radical to blindly accept them.

yes, this doesn't look at all like a military operation in downtown LA! If you're not worried about your freedom now, you're stupid. But you all were worried about a vaccine. So automatic weapons on the street of LA are no threat to you. MAGA's idiocy is unbounded.

but Jan 6 was just fine...

nothing to see here... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-uses-epstein-s-lawyer-as-human-shield-against-musk-s-really-big-bomb/ar-AA1GfttG Trump had a long, documented relationship with Epstein through the late 1980s to the early 2000s and appears in numerous photographs alongside him and his convicted partner, Ghislane Maxwell. In a 2002 interview, Trump even praised Epstein as a “terrific guy.” In 2017, Epstein described himself to author Michael Wolff as Trump’s “closest friend for 10 years,” although the pair appear to have had a falling out in the early 2000s. “He’s a horrible human being,” Epstein later said of the president in the same interview.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/los-angeles-ice-raids-spark-protests-fear-outrage-our-community-is-under-attack/ar-AA1GfpRF This doesn't look like America. It looks like fascism.

no surprise his biz and billions in contracts at jeopardy. but it's too late. His posts are everywhere for all to see. the image is done.

both trump and musk are bad guys.

I don't think he really believes it. he's just doing his job of spreading bs for rubes. then again, perhaps he's a rube. With all these posts he's getting as fat as his hero unless he posts while doing spin classes or on a treadmill...

seems the street is back to betting on musk. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/
