The US government is going to be far too preoccupied with a civil war to even think about invading Greenland (or Canada for that matter).

ICE probably picked on the wrong city with this. Have they not seen footage of what LA can do when theyre mad?

It kind of reminds me of the protests during COVID where people were upset with Police Brutality and the Cops decided to just double-down.

This s*** with ICE is only gonna get worse, and the protests will only increase in scope. I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before Trump does something really dumb and heinous like ordering the shooting of peaceful protesters. Things are about to turn really ugly down there.

You got the quote a little wrong but I agree with the sentiment.

Yeah, just saw the video where the guy is crying because the school he works at was getting raided during their graduation. Things are going to explode. It’s going to be a long, hot summer.

No need to use hyperbole and compare to Nazis, but what really pisses me off about this situation is the excuse of just following orders from above. It happens in society too, where you just do the job you're told. What about morals? Do these people not think about those families affected? Just doing what your role is, is so 1940s Germany. People really have to think for themselves and not do something that is immoral.

The thing is, the people that do come to their senses drop out instead of turning to fight, and it just leaves these entities (congress, police, judiciary, law firms) with the people either willing to bend or zealous believers.

2000 National Guardsmen have been deployed to L.A. now. Man, Trump hates California. Pouring gasoline on a small issue and holding a lit match.

The biggest threat to the United States in 2025 is it's own President. What a time to be alive.

Apparently the DUI hire, Hegseth, said active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton were put on alert and could be used.
Some dubious legality going on.

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.”
*Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.


Hegseth walked back on his dumb tweet about using Marines, deleted it and posted something else.

It’s approaching summer time in America. Time for some good old fashioned Nazi Government violence.

I found some local LA news folks online, there isnt any actual protests or confrontations currently going on. It takes time to mobilize the NG.
So, its tomorrow that the **** hits the fan...probably, maybe or not.
Trump wants to play at 'war', play the tough guy, rile up his base, wants to see people hurt.

Good! We need it. We need the fear. We need them to overreact. The Empire has been choking us so slowly, we're starting not to notice. The time has come to force their hand.

People will suffer... that's the plan.

That was a great show, and the parallels to current events made it positively chilling.
