Slurp those boots.
You believe a liar and you support fascist behavior.
Own it and be proud.
"Democratic", not "Democrat". Get your insults correct. And it's a lie that the Democratic Party is insurrectionist. The January 6 insurrection (attempted coup d'état) was led by Trump, a Republican. He is lawless and pardoned all the Republican criminals. Don't forget that he is a felon himself.
Do you wear your red hat when you go out in public on a regular basis? Do you fly a Trump flag at your house? How about a bumper sticker on your car?Labels and name calling are all your ilk have left and it won't work.
There's no more gate keeping. There's no national news anchors feeding the public hand selected narratives snd tiny morsels of information.
You go onto X.com. You find the trending terms and watch the actual reality come in through thousands of people taking video on the location. You see the lack of love for the United States. You see the lawlessness.
The straw that had to break the camel's back was Kyle Rittenhouse. The national media narrative was assault rifles bought over a state border to hunt down and kill black people.
The reality, shown from stitched together media from dozens of sources showed pure and true self defense.
That's all ICE for the United States. It is self defense and the attempts of you and others to use the same tired tropes to deny reality won't work.
Left wingers will sooner provoke a civil war than allow illegal immigrants to very deported.
I simply dont understand you guys.

Peacefully protesting in the street is not an insurrection. An insurrection is when you try to violently storm the Capitol Building to overturn an election.
LAPD officially described the protests as "largely peaceful, with no major incidents of violence." What's happening right now is Trump is trying to provoke violence by bringing in the military. The mayor and the governor do not want the U.S. military there. They are handling everything just fine.
The feeling is mutual.
I spent some time visiting right-wing websites/forums this morning to try and get a sense of where they're at. The foam-at-the-mouth responses from Trump supporters on right-wing spaces on the internet is very discouraging. I get the sense a significant fraction of them would be perfectly fine if the U.S. military killed every Democrat and every immigrant in the country.
I suppose we are now seeing the result of decades of anti-Democratic Party propaganda. You've been conditioned to see the Democratic Party as actual enemies of the U.S., and now we may now see the bloody consequence of that propaganda.
There is a good chance if these untrained National Guard troops start killing people.
Was there some mass pardon of those protestors in the Floyd riots who attacked police and went to jail that I missed?
The vast majority of citations and charges against George Floyd protesters were ultimately dropped, dismissed or otherwise not filed, according to a Guardian analysis of law enforcement records and media reports in a dozen jurisdictions around the nation.
Not true. I have been very clear in my position on protests/ riots. Protesting, including minor civil disobedience, is fine but there is never, ever, ever an excuse for violence, destruction of property or harm to officers never, not ever . I am unequivocal about that. On the other hand I never hear the right denounce the violent attackers on Jan 6th. Much less their President who at a minimum allowed it to happen. I am NOT the hypocrite here.Once again you show the Left only cares about police injured during a Right wing protest while showing zero interests in the multiples of officers injured during Left leaning protests.

Your posts are so incoherent that it's difficult to reply. However...It's not 1860. It's 2025.
Democrats still need their slaves.
They need them to do the work so cheap that they don't have to pay Americans.
They need the to be present for the census but not able to vote and not to demand actual delivery of services from Democrats.
They need them as a peasant class and cry racism to keep them in line.
The chain of command across the USA armed forces which are the officers in command know the laws of war and they know to disobey any order that is illegal and/unconstitutional. Officers are well versed in what's legal and what's moral -- what is illegal, unacceptable and unconstitutional, just as the NCO Corps is well versed and the grunts are informed.They will obey their chain of command. It's as simple as that. This idea that soldiers will refuse orders because they'll have some Eureka moment that what they're doing is somehow unconstitutional is a fantasy.
Over the years, I've heard/read some, including retired and active duty military, say things like they won't follow unconstitutional or illegal orders, but I think that's being naive to how people behave in the context of institutions and their power dynamics. Humans are social creatures. We're group conformists by nature, and since we moved out of the prairies and forests and into cities over these last 10,000 or so years, we've adapted in ways that incline us to operate within the power frameworks that form the basis of civilization.
In short, we're engineered to obey authority. I mean, sure, there are limits. It was soldiers who risked court martial to speak out against the massacres of Mai Lai and there were similar episodes in more recent conflicts, but generally speaking, we're creatures that do what the group does, and we give authority a lot of slack in many cases until we know that something is just way out of bounds.
Trump will say that he wants those protesters neutralized so that ICE can do its job. The Guard will impose a curfew if that doesn't happen. Hopefully, it doesn't go much beyond that, but it could.
It wasn't a protest. It was an insurrection.
Lying about it doesn't change it.
January 6 U.S. Capitol attack, storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by a mob of supporters of Republican Pres. Donald J. Trump. The attack disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential election of 2020, which Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. Because its object was to prevent a legitimate president-elect from assuming office, the attack was widely regarded as an insurrection or attempted coup d’état. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other law-enforcement agencies also considered it an act of domestic terrorism. For having given a speech in which he rallied supporters to storm the Capitol in a violent attack that threatened the certification of Biden’s victory, Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives for “incitement of insurrection” (he was subsequently acquitted by the Senate).

The January 6 Attack was an Insurrection

Have the guts to call it what is is.
One cant help but notice there are a lot of people waving flags from shithole countries they are really really really trying to avoid returning to.
They were not protesters.It's shocking a leftist would use leftist sources to promote their batshit insane insurrection theories of random right wing protesters. It's shocking I tell ya.
Dobieg, it isn't whether it was an insurrection or not, I think not, these people were simply useful idiots. The issue is that Trump who had the power, authority and means to call in the Guard did nothing to protect the Capitol. Doesn't that bother you?It's shocking a leftist would use leftist sources to promote their batshit insane insurrection theories of random right wing protesters. It's shocking I tell ya
Your posts are so incoherent that it's difficult to reply. However...
If Democrats need "them" to do work cheaply, why is it that Democrats are the only ones who ever propose raising the minimum wage and Republicans oppose it every time? Why is it that Democrats support labor unions and Republicans favor right-to-work? Why is it that Republicans continue effort to erode US child labor rules?
As I've pointed out in scrolling the Potus/C'nC has no authority either statutorily or in the Constitution for a federal martial law. The Potus has no martial law authority. Any governor can declare martial law, but the Potus has zero authority and no power to declare a federal martial law. The Founders were absolutely clear about placing this limitation on the powers of the office.No, but there is an opportunity to cause escalation and declare Martial Law.
Story is just breaking, but I will add that this is exactly what I predicted more than a year ago.
The chain of command across the USA armed forces which are the officers in command know the laws of war and they know to disobey any order that is illegal and/unconstitutional. Officers are well versed in what's legal and what's moral -- what is illegal, unacceptable and unconstitutional, just as the NCO Corps is well versed and the grunts are informed.
You could or should have finished with your opening paragraph because the rest of your post makes a mess of it.
The USA armed forces are not going to obey any order to fire on unarmed civilians. And the refusal of any such order will be swift and firm when it comes from a madman bloodthirsty Generalissimo commander in chief as he heads out to a golf course.
I reiterate that your first paragraph says all that needs to be said because in the next paragraph your post works at trying to disparage "retired and active duty military" who say what I have posted about illegal orders to include the Constitution. Your first paragraph says all that needs to be said although I expand it by noting that with rare exception the forces in the ranks will obey their company commander, who obeys the battalion commander who obeys the regiment commander and so on further up the chain of command. Which is that you don't shoot your unarmed civilians on your own soil. Trump and the rest of his blood thirsty gang be damned.
