    oh the horrors- since the guvner and the mayor refuse to protect LA and the businesses these chit heads are burning and if they are not looting they soon will- someone has to do so- I am sick and tired of liberal politicians sitting on their hands and watching their cities burn and doing nothing and then expecting the taxpayer to pick up the tab to rebuild them- plus a lot of these chit heads are probably illegals as well-

    I dont understand how protesting equates to politicians not doing their job. People wouldnt be in the streets if Bass and Newsome were like "we arent going to assist Trump on immigration at all" they would be getting what they want, no need to protest ... you seem to be faulting the state government for only using the police to deal with protests or dissent existing at all. This stuff about them not doing their jobs is just about justifying a power grab so Trump can pretend he's a big boy.

    Good grief. First, do you really think the governor needs the president to activate the National Guard? No, the governor has that power and Blanco had the guard in New Orleans before Katrina hit.
    As far as 'the media' claiming that Bush hates black people, I'm guessing you can't give any examples. It's just something to say.

    Wow, they must have burned down a lot of businesses for the entirety of LA to be on fire. How many businesses have been burned down, specifically?

    First point: well, whatever Blanco did or did not do it didn't work out too well. And, Bush caught the brunt of the criticism.
    Second point: Yes, it was Kanye West who said Bush hated black people; so, the "Media" didn't say it - they simply promoted it and continued the lie that Bush was AWOL because....well, Republican. #finepeopleonbothsides rinse and repeat.

    Nobody was rioting and the protests were peaceful until Trump sent in the military on U.S. citizens. This is what happens when you try to openly oppress and militarize the people in your own country. Trump is an evil, steaming turd.

    You could have just gone with the fact that both events involved national guards and you have constructed a way to feel aggrieved about both despite a pretty loose grasp of each set of facts.

    Newsom: “You can’t send the National Guard!”

    Trump: “Okay, here are the Marines.”

    That's the plan .... when he has no real plans.

    It's not surprising in the least, considering his repeated racist public lies on the subject like "Immigrants are eating dogs and cats."

    The only real surprise is how many people are willing to accept this latest abnegation of real leadership for another round of tearing our country down for his own political gain. Just like we've seen from him again ..and again ... and again.

    that's what is being claimed by the Left. Is it true? Los Angeles Riots Explained: ICE Raids, Fiery Protests, And Trump's National Guard Order
    You stop or interfere with Federal Agents doing their job that is NOT peaceful. Stopping students from going into their school's library is NOT peaceful - it's a form of arrest or sequestration. They blocked Federal vehicles....according to this source PRIOR to National Guard. You block my car and prohibit me from moving while a mob is gathering I'm moving on.

    What's sad is that this will probably end when some idiot brings their 3-year old to "witness history" and a rubber bullet kills the child. Ultimate FAFO for the parent; but, so very sad for the child. Crowds will grow and riots will ensue and then the hammer will come down. Why? Because some people are unhappy that the government is enforcing the law, which Biden did not. Well, so am I when caught speeding but I typically don't throw a brick at the cop.

    Next Gavin Newsome and Mayor Bass will sue Trump for mean language on X. Because, they are doing so much to benefit Los Angeles.

    It's great to see you suddenly care so much about L.A.

    Unless you really just care about seeing Trump cause and then antagonize a violent response to his failure to solve this issue.

    So if somebody asks an ICE agent for identification and for a justification, that is violence now? No, being near a car is not violence by any reasonable definition of the term. Even if somebody is afraid of their own shadow.

    It’s no tourist visit to the Capital like what happened on January 6th, that’s for sure. :rolleyes: The amount of gaslighting and revisionist history Trumpers try to get away with is astounding.
