Ya, GGG, your acting like things are rational. Trump has zero interest in escaping prosecution because it will never come. He'd probably celebrate the killing as the death of a traitor. Not that it matters, given Jan 6th showed you can cheer on a coupe sent to overthrow the legally elected government, and all you get is another presidency.
Like, he's shipping people off to forever slave camps. And that's been happening for months now, and all that's really happened is one guy ordered back for a "real" trial. This is full on fascism. There is no going back for these people.
I think it’s fairly reasonable to suggest we are still one step away before you can’t come back from it. Whether people want to come back from it or not is a separate question. The odds of a free election in 2026 and 2028 are still at least 25% but diminishing.
Deploying 500 Marines, their rules of engagement still being finalized.
Read a short primer on how the military does things vs how cops do things. One that stood out was if a cop says 'cover me' as he goes after someone, he means 'watch that guy and if they do something, come running' and thats what cops do. Say that to military and when they hear 'cover me' they are taught to lay down suppresing fire.
Could be an issue.
It would be interesting to read that. From all of the people I've known in the Military they have consistently said that the Military should never be used as 'Police' because they are trained to defend against the enemy. If you use them in an enforcement capacity you effectively have made the citizenry 'the enemy.'

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday dismissed an expert panel of vaccine advisers that has historically guided the federal government’s vaccine recommendations, saying the group is “plagued with conflicts of interest.”
I'm more and more horrified (albeit slightly entertained) by RFK. Dude advocates for vitamin A instead of measles vaccinations, guzzles raw milk, cites made up non-existent "scientific" studies, has a freezer full of road kill, is way too interested in falconry of all things, and swims in sewage runoff.
America already has a lot of needless death but I think he's really looking to accelerate that.

I absolutely believe that the military actions in L.A. are tied to the June 14 military parade. Maybe Trump wants to distract the country from his attempt to honour himself on the 14th. They are related.
We have friends who live near L.A. They’re crushed by what’s happening in their country.
Kamala Harris in October: “[Trump] considers any American who doesn’t support him or bend to his will to be an enemy to our country, and further, he says that as commander-in-chief, he would use our military to go after them.”

Don't worry, he'll pull a North Korea and become 'Leader for Life.'
There'll be a statue of him on the White House Lawn and all of his kids will take turns being President, it'll be like a hot potato that they just pass back and forth.
At his age, lifestyle, diet, and stress level, I doubt that “life” is very long. He won’t see the end of this term. Hell, Vance may poison him.

Woof the LA News is carrying a lot of water for the invading force. Not surprising but damn man cmon have a spine. They keep saying how awful this all is and it's nothing again. The 101 moving faster than ever, some people on the streets, definitely need to get the military in here
