Criminal Trump, criminalising the police, the state police owe allegiance to their state, not the criminal in the white house,

Simple tell them to seek their wages at the white house

They may not be pure white. Lots of landowners had children with their slaves in many years past. Who knows where their roots really are?

Hell YES! I thought the same thing when I read those words. Thank you, Eric. Exactly like, we are not headed for a constitutional crisis. We are already IN CRISIS. I’m 70 years old. How the ever livin’ FUCK did this happen? And happen so fast.

In front of a judge? How about in front of a firing squad? And I mean that in the nicest possible way. 🤣

I'm 83 and never thought I would or could ever see something like this happening in the USA. This crisis needs to be handed back to trump and his regime with a "thank you, but we're not buying." We need to fight him every inch of the way until we win. We need to take a lesson from the Ukraine people. They are so strong and will never give up. We need to be more like them and fight! This orange turd is not taking my country away from me.

This is the beginning of Trump's wet dream of declaring a state of emergency. Things are going to escalate rapidly.

Pete Hegseth also just posted that if the situation in LA continues he will send in the Marines. So our military will be fully turned on citizens? Also, I didn't think he could do that, doesn't that take an act of Congress?

Good question. I know it takes Congress to declare war. Like when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. This Administration likes to ignore the Constitution so your guess is as good as mine.

I would like to hear folks call a spade a spade. This is racism. Over the past four months, there have been huge, huge protests with little to no conflicts. There has even been neighborhoods who have stood up to ICE in their community and prevented neighbors from being arrested. There were no tear gas; no fights. I even saw a video taken by a community member at one incident where some number of individuals were walking towards the ICE agents in the street of their neighborhood. The video showed ICE agents walking backwards away from the oncoming citizens and keeping about 10 to 15 feet distance between them. ICE eventually retreated. No conflicts, no scuffles. What was the difference? Those citizens in LA were predominantly black and brown and ICE’s treatment of them was completely different. They escalated the situation. The reason for that is that the individuals in LA are seen as less than human and aren’t warranted the same respect and treatment as those who are white. Trump wanted to be able to call martial law, so he has DHS and Hegseth escalating the situation even further to be able to do so.

He's trying to show his power before his birthday. This will control the masses and stop them from protesting at his stupid parade.

Make no mistake he will incite martial law against Americans. He needs to show Putin and North Korea his big power. He's a blood thirsty dictator in competition with Putin.

Stephen Miller has also inflamed situation as last week he called ICE officials to WH to demand they get more aggressive in finding victims....going to Home Depot, etc.

I think this is a way that Trump gains control over the 7th largest economy in THE WORLD and a way for him to sideline Gov. Newsome out of Trump’s vengeful nature and potential threat to the presidency if the Governor decides to put his hat in the ring. That is IF we get to have a free election again ever.

Suzanne, I read somewhere that Vance has some connection to a business that's buying up those maga farms that have gone into receivership due to the grants & rebates which musty got rid of. From what I've found, this isn't exactly a YES or a NO. There's a lot of grey areas. However, with the greed of the rep#bl!c#^ts I wouldn't be surprised that there's companies within companies so nothing directly can be found easily. As they say ~ 'There's no smoke without fire'.

Here's one story ~

I read the same thing and believe that it is true. They will make money off of anything that they can. Guess what, Vance. You should have listened to the Pope. Money won't get you a seat in heaven. It's how you earn it and what you do with it that will give you a chance. Looks like the devil likes you and this regime. You are all such easy prey.

I read the same thing a while back, and it makes sense to me that it’s true because the felon is not helping the farmers at all.

That’s true, and considering the times that the republicans have had the White House and made things harder for the people, you’d think that lesson would have been learned.

Maybe this time if there’s another election.

It's sad that the people who think that by NOT voting that it's a protest. Incorrect.

They don't realise that by not voting they are getting the government they didn't want.

The general voting public need to realise that their vote is something precious, something where so many people many years ago fought for and some even died so their descendants would have the freedom to cast their vote.

When voters realise that they can VOTE OUT an unworthy government, the candidates will quickly realise that they HAVE to do their job of representing the people who placed their vote with them.

Los Angeles is where I grew up and lived most of my life.. I am disgusted beyond measure. Governor Newsom needs to find some way to stop this aggression — grow a pair. As far as Tom Homan, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, LAPD, and in particular, Trump —. GFY!

Bonnie, (as an Australian) I'm quickly learning /being educated about the differences between what the individual States can do independantly of the Federal Government.

My question is ~ Can Governor Newsom legally do anything to stop the Feds from inflicting this cruelty to the people of California?

Expand full comment
Bonnie Sue Miller's avatar

Yes, but everything that Trump is doing right now is illegal, unless he officially invokes the Insurrection Act which he has not done to my knowledge. He did send in the National Guard and federalized them, but it's my understanding that he couldn't do that without formally notifying the governor of any state. This president is in full authoritarian mode; not to mention, he and his entire cabinet are insane. We are dealing with a bully and a madman. They are a death cult.

Thanks Bonnie. I'm asking more questions because I don't know and would like to be educated about these things. Thanking you in advance for answering any questions.

* While I understand that trump is acting illegally in many ways, surely there's something in the Constitution where he can be stopped?

* Aren't Judges supposed to be non-political and only act within accordance to the Law?

* OR is it only in the USA where a Judge's political bias is permissable?

* If the Democrat Party becomes the governing Party in the Federal Congress, are they able to amend the US Constitution so no future President will be able to conduct personal business or profit from being President when in Office? (In other countries, by law, no government employee or public servant can profit from their position. Elected officials ARE public servants)

That's it for now.

Oh my God, I just heard that he has ordered the United States Marines to Los Angeles. This is unprecedented. The US Constitution is full of safeguards, but the MAGA Republicans out number the Democrats. To be fair, some of the Democrats have been absolutely feckless in their job. It's very sad. Most of our federal judiciary has been holding the line. BUT Chief Justice Roberts, Justices.Barrett, Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh gave this maniac full immunity while doing official business. Sadly, that has carried over into his personal business dealings. The entire situation is on hold now because SCOTUS is on their summer break for at least three months. If I neglected to answer or clarify something, please let me know.

Bonnie, this was on the news here in Western Australia 30 mins ago too.

The 24 hour news cycle doesn't stop here either. Thankfully we have media checks & balances where de-lu-lu news is kept to the Murdoch press. News media in OZ (by LAW) must be truthful & factual.

From what I know, all people who join the US Military swear an oath to the Constitution. What I'm not clear on is how a Military person is able to behave IF they are given an order which goes AGAINST the Constitution.

(Also just on the news here about SCOTUS and summer holidays)

Why would SCOTUS take 3 months holiday when there's a crisis happening now and there's a backlog of cases which need dealing with?

SCOTUS is quite happy to let the current rot fester?

Didn't SCOTUS swear to uphold the Constitution?

Holidays over duty..... utterly selfish!

If SCOTUS made the Law to pardon the orange wanker, surely they can find a way to undo that Law? They managed to undo Roe V Wade.

I've been asked a couple of times why I'm following and investing in these matters. There's a saying ~ When the US sneezes, the world catches a cold. Also, the USA has a number of countries which they are military allies with. Many of these countries are Commonwealth Countries. Many of these Commonwealth Countries have US bases.
