Should a U.S. President, with the force of the U.S. military, be able to "liberate" a city or state from the officials the populace of those cities/states have elected as their leadership?

Are you asking me or Abraham Lincoln?

 

There are extremely few situations imo that would ever warrant the US military being deployed domestically. And certainly not to remove elected officials from office. I also don't think that we should have a standing military in its current form either though.

    Look, I'm really not trying to dog on you, but having the US Military, be they active, reserve, or National Guard, kill or injure even one US citizen exercising their Constitutional rights is unaccept

So given that, are you at all concerned with this statement from your federal government "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city" as they send in US military forces to police said city?

this is a fucking joke 

You mean how all of the "libertarians," and "no gestapo in Bastropo," and "no big government," and "no overreaching government," "freedom and liberty!" types can't muster a single peep of resistance to a fucking avalanche of authoritarian actions by the Regime?  Yeah...I wish it was a joke.

What we now realize is that all of those arguments/values were just pretexts to support the ultimate end: a right-wing christo-fascist police state, subjugating any and all who dare dissent.  Every one of those "values" wasn't a joke - it was a lie.  At least, coming from the people who shouted them the loudest, it was a lie.

Failure to fully and properly identify as a US Senator, with all paperwork, stamped in triplicate and reviewed by the Office of Regime Vetting?  Performative shitheel who should be taken down by law enforcement immediately.

Failure to show any identification establishing oneself as an actual badge-carrying cop (or even showing your face) as you storm a fucking taco restaurant?  Well, that's just good government right there.  Medals all around.

I think ana has a non controversial stance that he's being intentionally obtuse and stupid about because he's insulated from any impact for rooting for the chaos.

I honestly don't think anyone should be banned here, and I hope any are temporary.  I think the vast majority of people would agree that:

  • U.S. citizens should have the right to peaceably protest
  • No one should be able to riot, loot, damage federal property, endanger law enforcement or otherwise engage in lawlessness under the guise of protest
  • A U.S. president should not be able to usurp authority from a state or city, send in federal troops to police them, "liberate" them from their elected officials or otherwise engage in lawlessness under the guise of law and order

The majority of folks here would agree with that?  Probably.

Would a sizable chunk of folks here rationalize their way around each and every one of those principles?   Also yes (it's treason to protest for foreigners!  January 6th was fine!  The Feds have a DUTY to remove traitor leaders from power!, shit like that).

You have to understand that a sizable plurality of Americans absolutely want an authoritarian government, and they will justify and rationalize anything and everything to support it.  Including posters here who will 1) claim that they don't, yet 2) without fail excuse/support every authoritarian act committed.

Yeah, we’ve seen how vocal many posters have been in support of brutality perpetrated by cops and civilians against protesters, with comments in favor of cracking skulls, shootings, and running over protesters in the past. It’s by no means a stretch to imagine they’re perfectly content with bringing in the military.

What would have stopped the "finding out" phase of this little episode would be not to try to push past security.   Dude went full blown, "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM???".  A classic.

What if it was a 4 start general doing the same thing?  They would have to stand down.  It's equivalent.  But stay obtuse.

I just wish there was an option to ignore people who quote people on my ignore list.  There are like 20 threads in DT and CR that should be focused on news or policy or whatever that are constantly derailed by these pointless exchanges.

I went to grab a coffee at 7th & Figueroa Mall and damn a fuck ton of law enforcement out right now. A mix of Califonia Highway Patrol, LAPD, LASD, marked and unmarked cars everywhere parked on the street. Decent size group of dudes in 1/4 zips dark blue and dark green and khakis having a chat outside of the Starbucks when I walked by and noticed a few "Lt." names on the sweaters so not just patrol dudes. The mall is boarding up today also. 

Side note, went to Target also to grab a chapstick and I was behind 2 LAPD latina badge baddies. I really wanted them to zip-tie and fascist the fuck out of me. God damn

Not to beat a dead horse, but even Corey fucking Lewandowski knew it was wrong when Senator Padilla was getting the Andor treatment. Padilla is a sitting Senator in a home state federal building who identified himself & was treated like a criminal for trying to ask a question of a federal official at a press conference.

It's as if he didn't even watch the video.

Yeah, you can call what Padilla did performative.  But the speech he interrupted was performative as hell by a Secretary who is performative as hell.

At some point, you gotta fight fire with fire.

He's a fucking loser. Instead of looking in the mirror he takes it out on others and chooses to make things worse for other people. Lots of those in this country it turns out.

As if the police couldn't arrest anyone if necessary, this is clearly a photo op and marks another sad point in all this fuckery Trump generates.

I mean...fucking Jesus.  I get text spam fundraising bullshit from all sides, and just yesterday I got the Trump version of this about "SAVE LA FROM THE RADICAL LEFT LUNATICS WHO SIDE WITH CRIMINALS" and shit.

But that's not grifting, that's just good government right there.  LAW AND ORDER.

Oh, and that video clip of the AMERICAN hispanics they fucking grabbed in East LA?  Fuck yes, those are my guys.  Fight fucking back.  We are more American than any fucking racist gestapo piece of shit.  Want to do unAmerican fascist shit?  Go volunteer in Hungary or Russia, but fuck right off from here.

They’ve convinced themselves that everyone is the same on #bothsides. Otherwise, they might have to face the reality that they chose poorly and are on the wrong side of both history and decent humanity.

Speaking to reporters after he was released, the civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop.

Goddamn commie pinkos trying to get to the Veterans Affairs office!!!!

That’s fucked up on multiple levels.
