MuskyMelonTrump deploys National Guard after second day of Los Angeles immigration protests | CNN
Going to be watching this with great curiosity and excitement. Hopefully other places get the idea. Going to be very curious where Newsom comes down on this.
LAPD is already assisting ICE, so take a guess.
So, there’s a cool documentary called Winter On Fire that covers the 2014 Maidan revolts in Ukraine. The relevant bit is at the end; after the police open fire on an unarmed march, the protestors announce that by 0900 tomorrow, they’re marching on the capitol building and they’re all going to be armed with guns (all 90,000 of them), and the cops can choose to be there or not. Well, the cops fucking skipped town that night, along with the president. Nobody has ever accused LA of being a city that is deficient in guns, or if they have, then they’re fucking stupid.
DC would nuke LA.
As deranged as DC may be, I seriously doubt it. Especially because, being as old as he is, Donald was probably raised through the fever pitch of the cold war. He’s probably shit scared of the use of nuclear weapons. Did you notice how quickly the Trump administration jumped in to try and cool things off between India and Pakistan? I’d bet anything that it’s because Donald has a deep-seated urge to avoid nuclear weapons use.
I don’t mean literal nukes, but they would probably declare an emergency and send in substantial military force.
I also wouldn’t even rule out literal nukes. Dude was talking about nuking a fucking hurricane…
