And people said Harris was lying when she said he’d use the military on citizens.

Dictator doing dictator things.

The ****? Citizens of the US are not our enemies. This is dictatorial bullshit.

Marines #1 mission: Kill people and break shit!

 

[Phys251]

This is true. They are trained killers. Put some masked guy waving a mexican or palestinian flag in front of them and the combatant/civilian line gets blurred.

If I wave a Mexican or Palestinian flag, that alone gives the Marines the right to gun me down?

 

[Rexedgar]

Pretty soon Trump will send the tanks and troops for his vanity parade to LA.

 

[HumblePi]

So you want to see the Marines brought in to what?

Gun those civilians down?


Just so we are clear - that’s what you want? That’s what you’re calling for?

The marines gunning down civilians in the streets of the US?

Many of those National Guard men and women are Latino, and many are from California. Did Pete Hegseth consider that?

 

[BirdinHand]

The draft dodger doesn’t care about the actual members of the military.

He cares about “looking tough” and false bravado.

 

[HumblePi]

If I wave a Mexican or Palestinian flag, that alone gives the Marines the right to gun me down?

But if you're a white man waving a Confederate flag in the Capitol Rotunda, you get a pass.

But if you're a white man waving a Confederate flag in the Capitol Rotunda, you get a pass.

And a pardon.

Ask SSteve Bannon about this ‘Crossing of this Rubicon”.

During Taco’s first term he wanted the military to shoot protesters in the leg. The military leaders said they wouldn’t allow that. They’ve all been replaced by sycophants.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Oh, these people are the insurrectionists and not the ones you pardoned Donnie Boy?

 

[jmotivator]

Where were these soldiers on January 6th !!!!!! ??????

Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of DC didn't want them.

 

[Along Came Jones]

I hope these young Marines are aware that they swear an oath to the Constitution and not the president.

They are very aware of their oaths of enlistment. They "will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."

The officers commissioning oath is a little different. They "will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely." Notice what is missing?

 

[Pyrite]

Shit. What a disrespectful way to treat the country's military.

But we already know their CinC has only scorn for those who serve.

 

[Grand Mal]

Suddenly, liberals are concerned about the well being of the military.

What a stupid post.
Is the magatry now pretending that only MAGAs serve in the military?
Fits your two-dimensional cartoonish world-view, I guess.

 

[Pyrite]

Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of DC didn't want them.

Nope. Trump and his DoD refused calls to deploy the NG during the violence trump instigated on Jan 6.

Here's trump now, sending in NG troops without anyone's asking for them.

Quite the contrast.

 

[Linc]

If I wave a Mexican or Palestinian flag, that alone gives the Marines the right to gun me down?

He lives behind the ‘orange’ curtain so he approves of this.

 

[MTAtech]

Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of DC didn't want them.

Is the only information you post misinformation?

Trump’s claim that Pelosi turned down National Guard help on Jan. 6 is ‘just fantasy’ - The New Bedford Light

The story has been deemed false and debunked repeatedly since early 2021, including during the 2024 campaign.

The ****? Citizens of the US are not our enemies. This is dictatorial bullshit.

Enemy within remember? If they’re not Trump supporters they’re the enemy.

That’s what fascist scum thinks.

 

[Pyrite]

What a stupid post.
Is the magatry now pretending that only MAGAs serve in the military?
Fits your two-dimensional cartoonish world-view, I guess.

Pretending that the MAGA Commander-in-Chief didn't travel to Paris to attend a solemn ceremony honoring American World War I dead - and didn't refuse to travel by limo to the ceremony?

 

[Bonnot]

Many of those National Guard men and women are Latino, and many are from California. Did Pete Hegseth consider that?

I get what you’re saying, but there’s lots of them in ICE too being ****ing scumbags. self hatred is a thing.

 

[Grand Mal]

Nancy Pelosi and the Mayor of DC didn't want them.

So the Speaker of the House and the Mayor of DC over-ride President Trump but President Trump deploys US Marines to LA and threatens to arrest the Governor.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. That lines up perfectly.

Great catch. Thanks!

 

[Along Came Jones]

young marines are dumb as **** and gung-ho to see any sort of anction and shoot, and will just follow orders.

Really? How many rioters did they kill in 1992 when 1,500 Marines from the 1st Marine Division were deployed to Los Angeles to assist in quelling the Rodney King riots?

 

[Pyrite]

Suddenly, liberals are concerned about the well being of the military.

Remember how Republicans supported and still support draft-dodger donnie when he made fun of McCain's years of captivity during the Vietnam War?

Yeah. GOPers, not Democrats, sneer at soldiers and soldiering.

What are you blabbering about?

If anyone supports the shooting of rioters, it's folks like you. Many of you expressed actual glee the last time that happened.
