I would like to point out a subtle piece of "reporting" that is not only inaccurate, but I believe in there in an attempt to "both sides" the issue and appease Trump.
Newsom and Trump officials exchanged barbs all weekend after Trump federalized and deployed the California National Guard in Los Angeles amid violent anti-ICE protests.
The protests, as evidenced by the livestreams of LA, were almost entirely non-violent. Violence shown was almost entirely ICE committing the violence, such as when they intentionally shot rubber bullets at an Australian reporter in order to scare her away from reporting.
Saying the protests were "violent" does nothing more than give Trump justification for sending troops in the first place. This is intentionally misleading reporting that does nothing but give Trump more cover, possibly in an attempt to "both sides" the issue in case Trump's goons come knocking.
The news sources (even the "leftist" ones) are all owned by billionaires.
The real war is a class war, the minorities are used to make us fight with each other.
LBJ said it...
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

He wasn't advocating on it, but commenting on the Republican strategy and all the racist shit he saw down in the South

ICE committing the violence, such as when they intentionally shot rubber bullets at an Australian reporter
Wasn't that the LAPD? It was an ACAB moment I believe, not ICE specifically.
Honestly, does it matter?
They were there supporting ICE raids , deterring protests, and keeping reporters from doing their job. At this point, they're all one and the same.
I want to preface this by saying that I support the protestors and any measures they deem necessary, but what you are saying does not match up with what I’ve witnessed. A live streamer who goes by @LordHito spent several hours streaming the protests after dark. Dozens of protestors seemed to have homemade smoke grenades, as well as rocks and anything else they could hurl easily. Fires were started and windows were broken.
That said, I think those are all entirely justified. The other option is to sit around while democracy dies, and that is unacceptable. There has no doubt been collateral damage, but so it goes in struggles against the government.
100%, the police have been more violent than the protestors and are the true aggressors, but many of protestors have not been the flower children you seem to imply they are. I won’t go so far as to say most, but definitely more than an insignificant amount.
I wish them the best in their struggle. They fight for all of us.

Arrest Trump
Trump should be hanged for treason.
Like Mussolini?
Mussolini was shot. In a comical fashion
And then hung. Also comically.
One of the few cases where that's the correct form of "hung" regarding the execution of someone
Gaddafi.

I think that would be something I'd watch, and I'm not one for capital punishment or public displays of violence.
Soooooo, he's willing to throw Elon under the bus, the richest dude in America (maybe world, don't know), and he's willing to go after governors that make him look like a terrible leader. All of these other oligarchs, what makes you think you'll be special and he won't do the same to you? Answer, he will.
This time it's different. He likes me in a way he doesn't like the others. They were all toxic but he knows I'm true. They made him be like that. He knows I won't.
The billionaire is in love with me.
I don't have to fix him because he can fix my country.
The American people are the frogs in the pot of water
The water is getting pretty warm and its about to boil soon and everyone keeps hoping that the water won't get any hotter
Arresting Newsome is the dumbest move trump could make, so he might do it.
Eleni Kounalakis isnt so.eone I know about, but after a quick Google seems to be a huge improvement over Newsome, and with the election next year she'll drag the Overton window left even before the primary starts to gear up.
And she'd be out to do a lot before the election because she's already declared for it.

13 million people in the LA metro area. Like 100, at most, are being violent. Yes, we need to deploy the marines to control 100 people. This is Trump grabbing power and his personal vendetta against Newsom.
I agree with the spirit of your message, but it is a hell of a lot more than 100 angry people in that mob. In my opinion, there should be thousands more. The only other option is to do absolutely nothing while democracy dies.
Yes there are more than 100 angry people, but just because you're angry doesn't mean you're violent.

Fuckin’ try it.
and california should be a seperate fucking country.
I want to see California form a pact with Oregon and Washington, and then form an alliance with Mexico and Canada. Then MAGA America will be surrounded on 2/3 by hostile foreign nations.
It also means the entire west coast port system would be cut off to MAGA America, and they'd have to pay whatever taxes, tariffs, fees, etc. that California demands. Or they could just ship everything through the Panama canal, at least until CaWaOr (still workshopping the name), can sign a deal with Panama to prohibit MAGA America from using the canal.

Taco the chickenshit now suggests, "someone please arrest this man." Why won't you have him arrested dementia Donny? Did you forget why again.
Course he does, he's a moron. You literally cannot say anything of an inflammatory nature without giving him ideas
