'I would': Trump says he'd arrest California Gov. Gavin Newsom

Michael Cole said:
Out of 4,000 NG sent to LA, only 300 have been deployed. It doesn't take 4,000 troops to protect a federal building. What are the 700 marines for? They can't perform police duties. They weren't requested by anyone. Why are they there?

Why ask me?

Where did you see that only 300 have been deployed?
 
When a reporter asked Trump what charges Gov. Newsom committed to warrant arrest, Trump said, “he's done a terrible job.”

So now what kind of job Trump thinks one does is a crime.

Trump sent the troops he sent, without supplies without a place to sleep and without food....are you okay with that?

Source? You do tend to get creative.

Worth noting that Trump didn't directly send anyone. It would be up to the National Guard's chain of command to take care of that. I assume they have armories in the area as well.

They are not being sent in 'against' anyone, but the protesters are hardly "peaceful". Even the police are out in riot gear. (Although they are shooting at reporters for some reason).

Do you see the irony in trump sending in the National Guard to quell a couple hundred protestors in California, yet when a couple thousand attacked
the Capitol, he was content to watch it on TV?

I can certainly see the irony in someone from the left making that kind of statement.

Couple of hundred protesters? lol. Try thousands of 'protestors.' Rally it's the thousands of people rioting, shutting down streets, burning cars, and destroying property that are the problem.

That's a couple of pictures. See post #230
 
Ok, let's accept your numbers, there were thousands attacking the Capitol on 1/6, attacking police officers, vandalizing government property, yet trump
decided to watch TV instead of calling in the NG. That statement is true, whether it comes from the left or the right.
 
'my numbers'? LOL.

Yes, it's an absurd statement.
 
Trump has ZERO authority to arrest ANYBODY for ANYTHING.

He's abusing the office again and he WILL be held accountable in 2027.
 
More excuse-making.

It's time to stop spewing bullshit.

Turn the Faux off.

Trump is an idiot, and this is one of the many reasons why.

trump would have to go to school for years to reach the level of idiot, at the moment he is far below idiot level.
 
Here's a statement from the LAPD Chief about how they are being overwhelmed

no, you aren't....libertarians are open borders, pro choice and pro mind your own ****ing business when it comes to someone's sexual preference...you are none of that.

With the exception of open borders, I am all of that. Like I said, you dont know what you are talking about.
 
Has Donald decided to put up or shut up and actually take some concrete actions to effectuate an arrest, or is this more of his cheap taco talk that we can ignore because he's a wimp?

Already done, twice. Take care.

Nah, you never addressed the part about trump calling out the NG for a riot in California, but refusing to call them out on 1/6. Are you waiting for the talking points from right wing media to formulate a response? Have a nice night.
