It’s kind of like an older sibling that picks on you but loses their shit if someone else tries to.
Kinda, except that older sibling has permanently injured and killed people with their bullying in the past
Trump lives in a fantasy world
The problem is, so do his supporters. If Trump says this and they believe it then Trump's "normalized" the use of the National Guard for suppressing protests without even having to do it.
Reality is what he makes it if enough of his cult members follow his reality
The magic of mass media.
Trump goes on TV Friday and announces he's going to end Far Left Immigrant support by Monday. Then he goes on TV Monday and says he fixed it. Folks watching TV just assume its true, because nobody else on the TV is arguing otherwise.
Trump is a lying sack of shit.
100%, but I just gotta say that having a constitutional crisis over which government is in charge of cracking down on the protests against secret police abducting people is like painfully American
However just an hour after Trump’s post, Bass tweeted: “I want to thank LAPD and local law enforcement for their work tonight. I also want to thank Gavin Newsom for his support
🤦♀️🤮
They are "there". But they are not deployed or being used.
Everything we're seeing now is made up of federal law enforcement. Homeland Security/ICE/FBI/DEA wearing military uniforms. It's a giant LARP to give the appearance of troops to try and escalate.
LAPD is just there to get in on the "fun."
Edit: They are now at the detention facility it appears. Fuck this shit.
Isn't it a federal crime to wear a federal uniform you're not part of or something like that?
Idk, but they were all wearing their relevant identifiers, even if they weren't easy to see.
Do you all got any plans if martial law goes nationwide soon?
If history is anything to go by, especially recent history, then the plan is a convoluted web of "looking shocked" then some serious "doing nothing about it".
After being called out about being lazy and complacent they'll mention about doing some useless shit such as peaceful protests etc etc but then they will do more nothing.
In a few years time the rest of the world will be laughing at how easily a failed 'business' 'man' and reality TV 'star' who was also a successful racist, paedo, convicted rapist, con man and 34 times felon took over the whole country in just a few months without a much of a fucking whimper from the populace. Pathetic, really.
Edit:
I put the man part of business man in quotes due to him being shit at business and shit at being a man.
I have my gun on me at all times and that’s about all I’ve got
Good luck to you
the mayor should have said "oh no yep they're definitely here...sure showed us." even if they weren't there
