Trump’s border czar says he’s sending National Guard to fight LA anti-ICE protests as clashes continue into second day

I remember that you had no response to the assertion that city-wide defiance of Federal law constitutes insurrection, so you tried to define insurrection as "obstruction."
I don't remember making any definition of anything. You are posting a non sequitur red herring because that's not what I compared.



The word does not even appear in the relevant US Code:
I'm aware of that. But I do remember your use of the word insurrectionist.

Why aren't the lawbreakers the insurrectionists this time? Why O why?

You didn't admit that the answer was simply no.
 
It certainly is terrible that Biden and the Sanctuary politicians created all of this chaos, including that suffered by legitimate citizens, by allowing federal laws to be repeatedly broken.
Yeah, whatever.

What's important is that things aren't going Trump and Miller's way.
 
See post 870. That will be my answer to your stupid question every time you repeat it, no matter how much of a "gotcha" you think it is.
It's not a gotcha. You compared the rioters in LA to J6. This was a common false equivalence shared with BLM riots. Both had violence but neither had ambitions to reverse the valid results of the 2020 election. So the questions are meant to confront that false equivalence.

And you're still unable to admit that the Los Angeles riots did not intend to interfere, obstruct or conduct an insurrection to change the results of a federal election.
 
Your post isn't quite demented enough to be funny yet, but keep plugging away, you might get there yet. The weird mention of "My Fair Lady" is promising, though.

And Mad Libs still have no claim to any of the accomplishments of 20th-century Classical Liberals, since Mad Libs care only about sowing dissension until their side gets back into power.
Your terms are yours.

They are strawmen...and women.

While the Constitution is an advanced extension of the European Enlightenment, American conservatives have never accepted its first ten amendments aka the Bill of Rights. Conservatives have always wanted the USA sans the Bill of Rights -- except of course for mainly conservatives owning modern military weapons and also the 10th amendment. 20th century conservatives have become 21st Century Uniquely American Fascists which is their America without the Bill of Rights and its related amendments post Civil War.

Looking at your posts in the pudding, they are not "Centrist." They are 21st century American conservative.
 
Oo, you got tired of heavy terms like "interrogatories" ALREADY?

Mad Libs are really not in a position to speak for the National Guard and the Marines. They have enough trouble these days convincing a majority of the country that Libs speak for America.
21th century conservatives are hellbent to destroy what for 250 years Americans have shed blood for, died for, and for which Americans have and continue to serve in the armed forces of the United States.

21st century conservatives have totally rejected everything the USA was during and throughout the 20th century. They hate liberal democracy -- and democracy itself.

Hate it.

The only proper answer to a stupid and irrelevant question remains, "that's a stupid and irrelevant question."

According to the Code I cited, both J6 and the LA riots can be construed as insurrection.

Putting aside your bad grammar, you are incorrect because the riots were deliberately structured to interfere with the operations of federal agents.

I'm still a Centrist because I can call out Libs or Cons as the spirit moves me. You ought to try thinking outside the Mad Lib box occasionally; you could learn to like it.

"Uniquely American?" So American Fascists have some difference in kind from Italian fascists, Islamic fascists and all the rest? In what does that difference inhere? :poop:

What was the assertion?

You're only saying that because you won't admit that the answer 'no' to both questions reveals that you posted a false equivalence about J6.
 
According to the Code I cited, both J6 and the LA riots can be construed as insurrection.
Are you starting an argument about definitions? To divert to definitions of insurrection, sedition, rebellion and then divert further by comparing them. You know I mean interference with the EC.


Putting aside your bad grammar, you are incorrect because the riots were deliberately structured to interfere with the operations of federal agents.

The operation of federal agents in immigration policy enforcement is not equal to the Constitutionally mandated process of the Electoral College. But you already knew what I meant and you posted anyway.

One group is fighting a policy implementation, but not fighting for the government to be replaced.

The other fought the government itself, so that Biden would be replaced by Trump.

Those are different motives legally and morally. They aren't equal.

Are the rioters in order to LA acting to remove trump from office?

The one you erroneously thought I had attributed to you. Try to keep up.

Sorry you can't understand the answer you were given. Seemed pretty clear to me.
 
Name one thing that has gone Trump's way.
The most relevant to this thread is that, despite Mad Libs' attempts to the contrary, the majority of the country still considers it correct to deport all illegals. Mad Libs have a blind spot on this issue because they can't think outside their echo chambers and realize that even legal immigrants may have problems with Karen Bass's statement that California is a "state of immigrants." Whatever the financial or representational advantages of a large illegal population, their living off the grid is a mockery of the efforts legal immigrants went through to become citizens.

And your criteria still don't define insurrection.
The operation of federal agents in immigration policy enforcement is not equal to the Constitutionally mandated process of the Electoral College. But you already knew what I meant and you posted anyway.
They aren't the same crime but both can be prosecuted as insurrectionary actions, particularly since there's evidence of foreign agents involved in the current riots.

Defying federal laws falls under the explicit definition of insurrection in the Code cited.
The other fought the government itself, so that Biden would be replaced by Trump.

They're rioting against the established laws of the nation and so can be put down just like Washington's Whiskey Rebellion.
 
Nope, the modern Mad Lib Progressives rejected the Classical Liberals of the 20th century to endorse all sorts of insane positions, not least the idea that anyone who wants to live in this country ought to be able to do so just because that makes Mad Libs feel like they're generous.

May be they ARE more generous than the selfish MAGA mob...

Whatever.

I didn't expect you to get any of this in any way, shape or form.

Unique to America is its Constitution and its Bill of Rights to include the post Civil War amendments. Three separate but equal branches of government and so on.

21st century conservatives hate the whole of it. They anyway never liked any of it since before the Civil War and have hated it postbellum. 21st century conservatives love and admire Putin and his Russia instead. Which is why Putin delivered Trump to 'em. You guys.
 
Did a White Lib prevent a Black woman from freedom of movement, or did he not?
Alas, it's another 21st century American conservative posting that's against liberals / progressives only and entirely, without fail or variation. Your posts have for years attacked liberals only and entirely. Your posts give MAGAs a free ride without fail or variation. Your posts are those of a 21st century uniquely American conservative.
