IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

Are we going to see the same TACO-trump spectacle in any city in the Red state of Texas. NOP! You won't see it. As his usual - TACO-trump wants to make CA & its Governor look bad.

We're not confused. We know what federalizing the guard means. And we've been told repeatedly about their limitations. You might want to worry less about semantics and more about moving the ball forward.

lil.msTell Congress: No Troops on Our StreetsPresident Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard and federal troops into our communities in response to Angelenos protesting the dangerous and cruel ICE raids across LA. Tell Congress: No troo...

Trump is using them like they were toy soldiers. Trump lacks the ability to see people as being people. Eventually he will miss their needs and it will be torture for them.

Adam, you will most definitely not see this, but I want you to know I admire you so much for your service and bravery. I am a polisci student, currently desperately trying to stay positive ab the future and doing everything I can to bring back the America I love. How do you ever have hope?

Trump is committing crimes as usual. And the Dems in congress are doing nothing about per usual. Sue him. Take it thru courts up to SCOTUS for their illegal rulings about POTUS immunity! At least show that you care to do your job for rule of law and democracy!

The U.S. Constitution and Title 10 authority the President invoked require that the Governor consent to federalization of the National Guard, which Governor Newsom was not given the opportunity to do prior to their deployment and which he confirmed he had not given shortly after their deployment.

Today they are mega business vocational schools. Gone are the liberal arts. That's why 2 generations of post WWII have little to no concepts of history. So here we are again fighting Hitlarian fascism. Our people are just like the Germans who blindly followed a mad man rather than think critically.

John Kelly warned us. During the 2020 protests Trump wanted the military to use live fire. Kelly called up the 82nd but didn't deploy to the streets and that was enough to satisfy Trump's bloodlust. The only people left are sycophants or people like Steven Miller who desire an escalation.

What’s going on right now at fort Bragg is a disgrace and violates everything I was taught as an officer re: military’s role and freedom of speech re: burning the flag. I don’t do it but it’s a freedom we were charged with protecting. Base CO should be ashamed & fired bc the troops don’t know shit

Better wake TF up and realize that you’re all going to need to rise up, resist and revolt if you’re going to defend democracy and keep what little freedoms you have remaining! Your only other option is submission, full stop! Signs and speeches won’t turn this around! Learn from history!

Would I be right in thinking get extra benefits like dental, health, pension, home loans... Presumably also the fed govt pays them not the state, plus the fed govt pays for their kit. Financially both they and the taxpayers of California might come out ahead on this deal?

How about all military personal, If you truly believe in protecting The United States Of America from all foreign and domestic terrorists. Now would be a Good Time to walk off the job till dementia don is drawn & quartered. They can't throw millions of you into leavenworth prison.

Because no one from the guard is exercising police powers. They have to tell someone "you're under arrest". So far, all they are doing is standing guard at the federal detention center. Which is a legal and permissible use of federal troops.

I see nothing that says "under arrest". "The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States."

Correct... But they are stationed at the federal detention center. Guarding it from further vandalism. That is 100% legal. It could also be considered a support roll to the LAPD, who were protecting the detention center until the guard arrived. The mad king is just walking the tightrope

Adam! As a Republican, you of course understand that laws and rules NO LONGER APPLY. There is NOTHING CONSERVATIVE about the current Republican regime. The Republican Party has fully become a party of human cruelty. The Republican Party is a shameful embarrassment to God, country and family.

Actually, no. He is perfectly within his right to have federal troops guard federal property. Which, from all the clips I've seen, is exactly what they are doing. It's only when one federal soldier says "you're under arrest" does it become a violation of the posse comitatus laws

Do not be deceived. The objective is to incite violence so he can invoke the insurrection act. He is not stupid, he is a selfish, cunning mob boss. To thwart Trumps plan, everyone should go home and call their representative and call Trump out for attempting to start violence through coercion.

1. It wasn't illegal. 2. Troops can only refuse an unlawful order, such as firing on protesters. 3. Mobilization orders is a Supreme Court issue that they won't touch. 4. Being called up and sent somewhere has never been deemed illegal.

Don't play into Donald's hand. He is trying to invite people to become angry and disruptive so he can invoke the insurrection act and declare Marshall law. He cares less about policy, process, laws, or anything that will restrict his dictatorial desire. We may think he is cunning and vindictive.

We are well on the way to a dictatorship lead by Adolph Trump, Reinhardt Hedrick Miller, Martin Borman Homan, A drunk Goring Hegseth, a host of female Butchers of Buchenwald, and a rubber stamp Congress. I served 20 years for this? Glad I can still abide by the 2nd Amendment for now

the only way to stop this is identify where the riot protestors are, let LE protect property, the peaceful protestors need to organize and remove the rioters, they are a small number compared to the masses. Otherwise trump and maga are going to own everybody

Run for office again. We need sanity in Congress. Please think about it for 2026. What if you change to an Independent and run for either party? I could see you on a presidential ticket. Maybe a VP to start. It would be great to have a bipartisan ticket. To offer a balanced perspective.
