I hope that LA protesters don't take the bait and will treat people in uniform with respect. THEY are not the real enemy. No Provocation - No Escalation. Betting a great many of those in the National Guard and Marines are wondering just WTF they are doing there. That goes for all of us on Saturday, too - whatever we come up against. And kudos to Newsome for speaking truth to power. Finally, someone in leadership stands up. "Stone cold liar" - Yes!

oh it's been brewing since nixon at least. these people ain't never stopped. it's just there was a time when people were more cowed when people shunned their bigotry. these people have taken a whole lot of effort to move the overton window-- from rush, rogan, stern, and trump... there's this celebration of people's grossest selves-- it's a celebration of sleeze and aggression masquerading as power. and they've been able to do this because the rest of us have been lulled to sleep by this idea we were on a train to progress. they kept working. we've been slacking because we let these people divide us. they're a unified front of bigotry. we have to be a unified front of neighbors. we have to become smarter than the fascists and think outside the box.

Such good advice. If authority called roses weeds, how long would it be before roses were no longer cherished and admired? Stop doing the dictators work for him. The time has come for concise use of language, which is why I shall use the words, Puerile Dictator instead of President Donald. God Save America.

Right? I can't stand that people continue to refer to that hot mess of a human being as "President". PLEASE!

that image of roses reminds me of the red queen from alice and wonderland. "they'r painting the roses red?!" his entire vibe, like hers, is unhinged and built on a house of cards.

Excellent analogy. Things just get "curiouser and curiouser".

You're 100% right that it's not a riot. This is a very deliberate PSYOP. Trump is not dumb. He's crazy and completely run by Russel Vought and the others in the Church of Project 2025. Read this, please:

This is a VERY deliberate maneuver. EYES WIDE OPEN.

yeah, I used to research the christian heritage foundation. I had to stop because their views were so cruel and devoid of empathy and... just humanity, that I had to stop and switch to a different topic. thank you for sharing for the folks who need to see this.

Complete lack of surprise that this petrified turd is attempting to start a civil war here in this liberal state, but for the sake of Jiminy Cricket’s cane can we stop justifying harm with harm? I live near Camp Pendleton and we knew the marines were on standby last night. We ALSO know that they’re supposed to uphold the GD constitution, not this snail’s excrement. The dumbest possible timeline brought to you by tall toddlers and the letter F.

All of this! He's as gross and dumb as he is obvious in his machinations. Solidarity to you, neighbor.
