    Numerous Mexican flags too.

    Do these idiots not understand that all it would take is for one far-right wing crazy to show up with an AR 15 to blow their rears away to be the cherry on the top of their riots. It's unbelievable the number fools espousing violence who exist on the left.

    They have often not been identifying either themselves or their agency even when asked. That is precisely the problem. They are wearing masks and not providing identification.

    I think number 1 is a lot more complicated than yes or no. I think that ICE agents are often doing their jobs but have also often violated the law. For example, the arrest they made against the Mayor of Newark (in masks) was a clear violation of their authority. The Ozturk arrest in which masked men threw her in a van without identifying themselves properly is another.

    I think politicians should continue to call out illegal behavior by law enforcement. ICE should be expected to follow the law. I have yet to see any politician threaten an ICE agent with violence, but, yes, any that theoretically do that should not.

    The double standard is obvious to anyone remotely aware of recent American history.

    And there's nothing wrong with pointing out shameful, laughable hypocrisy.

    Or let me guess - if someone were to point out the hypocrisy of Bill Cosby forcefully condemning sexually assaulting women after plying them with drugs ..... you would find fault only with their being "fixated" on the fact that he has literally done that, but worse, himself.

    Of course, by now we're very used to hypocrisy from Trump and members of his Administration. And people like you defending it.

    All the talk of self reliance is hilarious from conservatives given Red states inability to provide for their own.

    Also, the same people cheering on bringing the military in, were the same people cheering this.

    Stupid move on her part.
    She’s encouraging them to commit a federal crime. Once that occurs the feds control the charges and peope who commit them. The state or local govt has no standing to drop or reduce the charges. She’s setting them up for a rough time. Screw with feds under this administration and you will pay a price.

    If she’s not there with them she’s a coward.

    Dumb, dumb, dumb.

    Wait, your argument is "when they show up, we show up stronger" is a call for violence? Wow. So sending people to the Capitol to "fight" is definitely a call for violence, right?

    I am pretty sure that we pay our FICA taxes and collected income taxes directly to the Federal government. You pay state unemployment taxes and state income taxes to the State.

    This administration wants nothing more than to deploy military on American soil and use them to suppress those who disagree. Creating Palantir database to look for dissenters too. They have started locking up foreigners for speech. Only a matter of time before they go after citizens for speech.

    Oh the faux outrage from people who spit the similar vile comments on a daily basis (see post 52 for the President calling Newsom "Newscum"). They can dish it out but they can't take it.

    If you're upset by the journalist's comments, but support Trump and this administration, then you need to take a good long hard look in the mirror.

    MAGA going full child tantrum about words said by a journalist! LOL! Same group of tweeters just two days ago who were saying to deport Elon and take away his companies now attacking the opinions of someone they disagree with for stating the obvious! Anything to distract from the love spat between Donnie and Marie Elon

    Donald Trump could piss on you and tell you it’s raining and you’d say “Yes sir it is, may I have some more.” You all will never criticize him ever, it’s quite amusing.

    What are the chances of that self reflection occurring?

    That is not correct. The President has well-established legal authorities to use not only the National Guard (with or without the support of the state) as well as the regular military to support law enforcement in the event of certain crises. There are multiple historical precedents. But let’s not find out how stupid this could possibly get. Everyone can help turn down the temperature. And, sorry to say, it all starts with, just let ICE do their job under the law. No one has to agree with the law, or that ICE is enforcing it, but no one has a right to physically interfere with them either. Lawful protesting and using the system of courts is not as fun as hurling bottles and firecrackers at federal agents, but it will mitigate this thing from spinning out of control.
