Pete Hegseth has told the House committee that he’s anticipating military personnel to stay in Los Angeles for 60 days to “ensure that those rioters, looters and thugs on the other side assaulting our police officers know that we’re not going anywhere”.

A letter sent from Noem to Hegseth on Sunday, obtained by the Chronicle, requested that the Pentagon give “Direction to DoD forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them.”

All this dedication to the men and women in blue, yet they were absolutely fine with Trump pardoning the thugs who beat and injured well over 100 policemen on 6 Jan, directly causing the death of four (IIRC). Fucking hypocrits!!

Adding to their cuntiness is the total disregard for the well-being of the person they shot.

Now you're making stuff up. Or naively believing lies by the lying mainstream media

To the best of my recollection, Babbitt was not walking home like the lass in LA who was shot. She was part of a violent insurrection trying to overthrow the results of a fair election or do I misunderstand the situation?

Violent insurrection . Violence for the loony left is walking around a building. Except when its their side, anything at all is just a peaceful protest

The evil lying Maxists have lost, thank God. Trump has shone a light on their behaviour and the people have turned. Not all but enough.

Thing is, Trump is from New York, he doesn't give a fuck about same sex marriage, just as he didn't give a fuck about abortion, in fact when asked if any previous partners had terminations he refused to answer. He only cares about power and he will play to any base that will consolidate that power, he incited an insurrection that resulted in the death mentioned above, he doesn't care - this is the guy who called US combat soldiers "losers" - but her death proved to be useful to him so he used it to stir up antagonism among his followers.

Over 100 police officers injured and four dead. Sounds pretty violent to me.

dpedin wrote: Wed Jun 11, 2025 7:31 am We are probably in the key stages of the war now - the big and possibly final big battle is now President v States. The Senate and House of Representatives have been completely castrated and the courts/judiciary are struggling to keep up and are well behind the curve in trying to rule what is legal or not. Trump is successfully tying the courts up in knots with shed loads of appeals and pushing his lack of compliance close to the wire. Meanwhile Trump is trying hard, and probably successfully, to ensure the Military is on his side and will do his dirty work for him, it's why he is in Fort Bragg. He is using ICE to stoke up local communities and in particular the Mexicans/latinos communities in order to justify sending in the National Guard and the Army. He will then justify his military actions to his racist KKK followers as a battle against the 'foreign' invaders of their country (no irony there then!). His North Korean style parade on Saturday is essentially a clarion call to his MAGA nutters and a challenge to his opponents. He will use any demonstrations on the day as an excuse to go in hard and heavy with the army and tanks on the street. He sees Saturday as his day to take complete control and proclaim he is now Emperor of the US. Trump needs to have this all done and dusted before any mid term elections in 2026 so I expect him to be successful and things will move quickly from then on. He will then start finalizing the serious discussions to divi up the world with his fellow dictators Putin, China, etc and the likes of Ukraine will quickly become collateral damage in all of this. The future of Europe as we know it is in serious danger.

The US is lost and we will all need more than Tin Foil Hats with what's to come in the future! Welcome President Krasnov!

The White House has demanded the agency sharply increase arrests of migrants in the U.S. illegally, sources have told Reuters. That has meant changing tactics to achieve higher quotas of 3,000 arrests per day, far above the earlier target of 1,000 per day.
Community members and Democrats have pushed back, arguing that ICE is targeting people indiscriminately and stoking fear.
Tensions boiled over in Los Angeles over the weekend when protesters took to the streets after ICE arrested migrants at Home Depot stores, a garment factory and a warehouse, according to migrant advocates.
“It seems like they're just arresting people they think might be in the country without status and amenable to deportation,” said Julia Gelatt, associate director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
The apparent shift further undercuts the Trump administration message that they are focused on the "worst of the worst" criminal offenders, and suggests they are pursuing more people solely on the basis of immigration violations.
Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, told Reuters in late May that the administration had deported around 200,000 people over four months. The total lags deportations during a similar period under former President Joe Biden, who faced higher levels of illegal immigration and quickly deported many recent crossers.
ICE’s operations appeared to intensify after Stephen Miller, a top White House official and the architect of Trump’s immigration agenda, excoriated senior ICE officials in a late May meeting over what he said were insufficient arrests.
During the meeting, Miller said ICE should pick up any immigration offenders and not worry about targeted operations that focus on criminals or other priorities for deportation, three people familiar with the matter said, requesting anonymity to share the details.
Miller said ICE should target stores where migrant workers often congregate, such as the home improvement retailer Home Depot and 7-Eleven convenience stores, two of the people said.
The message was “all about the numbers, not the level of criminality,” one of the people said.
Miller did not seem to be taking into account the complexities of immigration enforcement, one former ICE official said.

You saw what happened to the ABC news reporter who told the truth on social media - immediately fired.

But of course they are not racists and it will be those opposing racism in all forms who are at fault when and if Reform, who are not racist, get in and start enacting not racist exclusion and not racist repatriation programs (sic)

Yup. There's two types of political approaches when you get into power: your either invest and grow the economy or you target immigrants & blame them for everything that's wrong. Guess which one is easier and cheaper?
