    LOL. You post fake things, sometimes delete them when exposed ...... sometimes they are deleted on the site you pull them from .....

    ..... you make little to no effort to post things that are credible, and take no responsibility when they are not ....

    In other words, you entirely ignore the social norms of honest discourse ...... but you want your posts to be considered accurate, and your posting to be respected?

    Nah.

    Personally I really don’t care but if you are trying to persuade people you deserve to be here then why are you waving a flag of a country of which you supposedly don’t want to be? It certainly makes me feel less bad for them if we make their wish come true.

    -He follows and gets updates from a site that regularly lies.
    -He regularly posts their lies.
    -It's apparently the responsibility of someone else to verify the accuracy of info ..... which he pulled from a site that we all, and he, know regularly tell lies.

    This is the new world of Trumpy lying and misinformation. Seems reasonable right?

    Even with the high-profile arrests of suspects by masked immigration agents and the plane loads of migrants swiftly ferried out of the U.S., President Trump was falling short of the number of daily deportations carried out by the Biden administration in its final year.

    So in late May, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide and the architect of the president’s immigration agenda, addressed a meeting at the headquarters of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE. The message was clear: The president, who promised to deport millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, wasn’t pleased. The agency had better step it up.

    Gang members and violent criminals, what Trump called the “worst of the worst,” weren’t the sole target of deportations. Federal agents needed to “just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,” Miller told top ICE officials, who had come from across the U.S., according to people familiar with the meeting.

    Agents didn’t need to develop target lists of immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally, a longstanding practice, Miller said. Instead, he directed them to target Home Depot, where day laborers typically gather for hire, or 7-Eleven convenience stores. Miller bet that he and a handful of agents could go out on the streets of Washington, D.C., and arrest 30 people right away.

    Such as? Do the people posting those things lack agency? Are they unable to tell the difference between past events and the events in LA? Is all this posting purely accidental, as they just posted the wrong video over and over again?

    Except that you're lying and ignoring why the guard is there in the first place. Save us the leftist propaganda. Actually, keeping going. It's working out well for the democrat party ...

    I dont know what their motivation is, I dont think you do either. I don't think the people who bring out their Mexico flags when the US plays Mexico in soccer are necessarily saying "America sucks I'd rather be Mexican." Same as when people celebrate their heritage in other contexts. My main point is that the people that dont like protests or dissent arent going to be persuaded if the guy next to the burning car is waiving an American flag either. And if there is a person that exists that is thinking they were on the side of the protestors until they waived a Mexican flag, I would like to meet them and question them lol.

    The guard is there because a weak man wants to appear strong, thats it. End of story.

    Once again, giving Trump credit where credit is due he is winning the PR war. Although the facts are that the demonstrations in LA are very limited and the violence is even more limited all Trump has to do to justify the deployment of the National Guard and the Marines is to use videos of burning cars and attacks on law enforcement officers and claim that it's happening on a large scale and would be much larger were it not for the deployment of the Guard and the Marines.

    As of yesterday when Trump increased the number of Guard troop and decided to mobilize the Marines there had been 42 arrests for violence. During the Rodney King riots the number was in the thousands.
    42 arrested, 5 LAPD officers hurt in immigration protest unrest

    Democrats gave the rioters their political permission slips. Democrat controlled NGOs are likely funding them. And SCOTUS is about to decide this week whether Trump's deportation powers under the Alien Enemies Act can be involved for a predatory incursion. Nice timing

    The riots are not good for Gavin Newsom's chances in a national election either.

    According to an article I read, GWB didn't send in the National Guard until the third day of riots and approximately 60 people were already dead.

    The National Guard Was Sent to L.A. in 1992. This Is Different | TIME

    You could make the argument that sending in the NG earlier saved lives and property damage.

    High profile Democrats who green lighted the LA riots should be prosecuted. Soros, Bass, Catholic Charities leaders, members of Congress and so on.

    So under that logic, should Trump have been prosecuted for starting a riot/insurrection for Jan 6th?
