    @UNIMAN

     The mother attended and donated 1M to the Trump-fund and then Todd got the pardon. That is fact and since Trump takes actions for people he does not even know why else would it have happened?

    Trump has been the most corrupt and extreme POTUS in history, call Biden all the names in the book and he deserves all the crap you throw at him but Trump is the king and the worst no question. This fascist crap needs to be stopped for ANY POTUS, this is not how a leader is supposed to act, you cannot isolate one branch and neuter the others that is a dictator and a fascist, it needs to be stopped from any leader having loopholes as Trump has exploited.

    I KNOW WHERE YOU CAN START LOOKING

    Dan "I Hate My New Job" Bongino on FOX tonight "If you are a corrupt politician out there, we're going to find you."

    He can begin at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave & work his way over to Capitol Hill.

    Your country was lost the day it chose to prioritize money over people. That is a recipe for creating individuals who care only about themselves and view money as the sole motivator for all decisions.

    No country can function like that - unless the wealthy have a way to control those they exploit.

    So either you have to:

     

    1) Rethink almost your entire system (which I personally hope)

    2) US as we know it - will have to stop existing

    3) You will turn into a dictatorship/Oligarchy

     

    These are the only three possible outcomes

    Trump better be very very careful, he brought the druggie lunatic into the inner circle and it looks like things are going off the rails with Musk. Trump has a long history of using and discarding people and treating them like trash but this situation is different. Musk is deranged and unhinged, very unpredictable AND he has cash, a platform and lots of resources. If Trump plays this wrong it will go badly for him and I could easily see Musk losing his mind and exposing Trump with inside info he has or can find.

    This is what you get when you take money from anyone and in this case the anyone is a psychotic powerful wackadoo.

    I dont follow Trump or Musk I saw it as the stock was getting wacked and it was released regarding the stock.

    If Trump wanted to crush Musk he would cancel carbon credits, that is the bulk of Tesla profits and without that scheme the stock would be cut in half, under 100 IMO as that political cash cow cheat scheme would obliterate Musk.

    I figured out why maga morons are so dumb and so easily mind controlled.  Everything that is happening in our country and all over the world, what was the topic on every show the whole on fox the other day?

    Very dangerous federal authoritarian power grab today by Trump and ICE, shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at a small simple peaceful protest in Los Angeles today. There was no request or authorization from the state for federal involvement or a need for the national guard to try and create social chaos.

    Its almost like Trump is intentionally generating social divide and is seeking ways to disrupt any interactions regarding immigration or equity for all citizens, how can we as a country continue to allow his unqualified leadership and side show scam cabinet picks continue to destroy the rights and freedoms for anyone not white male?

    What is probably the worst thing is this is for sure not the most abhorrent or inappropriate thing Trump has done in his very short time in office.

    Disturbing that Fox news is the main news source for republicans because of its bias, mixed factual reporting and low credibility.  Since democrats are more trusting of media, they watch a wider variety of news sources to become better informed.  Exception is social media which has more fake news.

    US will most likely be a dictatorship before Trumpy boy is out of office - and then it won’t matter - then he controls all of the medias - and you will have no way of removing him from power - unless you feel in the mood to fight the 2 million man army you got - I hope you guys are still happy for your strong military - cause they are there to fight you an_clap

    Simple peaceful protest??? 

    NBC Los Angeles; 

    Sheriff Robert Luna says the crowd grew to about 350 to 400 people and became violent, with some of the protesters throwing objects at federal agents and law enforcement officers.

    Deputies with the LASD were not immediately asked to assist, according the Luna. The sheriff added that as the crowd grew, more property was destroyed.

    Anybody has the right to peacefully assemble, and exercise their first amendment rights, but when that crosses the line to where you are attacking other people, utilizing violence, or any destruction of property, that’s where we as a department has to step in, warn people, and people may get arrested,” said Luna. “Deputies will be defending themselves. I don’t think anybody expects our deputy sheriffs to take rocks and bottles without defending themselves.

    According to LA times, controversial for Trump to use emergency power by deploying national guard that governor, mayor and police say is unnecessary.  Scary use of military to suppress mostly peaceful protests is associated with dictators.   Anti-ICE protests turned violent were limited in size and there was no reason to believe that they couldn't be controlled by police.  Under the law, congress prohibits troops from assisting police.  American civil liberty union said Trump use of the military domestically is misguided, inflammatory, dangerous and an abuse of power.

    @UNIMAN

     I guess it depends where you are looking, the coverage I saw and the witnesses I saw interviewed did not give me any impression that this started or was at all violent OR that anyone from California requested Trump to step in OR that bullets and tear gas were required.

    Who decided this was needed? Looks like a non-white spectacle power grab again right in front of our eyes.

    LA Police are instructed not to aid Federal Police with removing immigrants who illegaly entered our country. When Feds requested police help with those attacking them performing their legal duties there was a two hour delay. After what happened in the summer of 2020 I don't blame the feds one bit. Violence is the Left's calling card, nip it in the bud.

    Same people who told the world protests were peaceful during the floyd riots.  People test the boundaries of protesting.  This is what happens when you allow people to consistently violate laws.

    @UNIMAN

     What does your reply have to do with the situation? Why did Trump and ICE step in on a small sized neutral legal peaceful protest and use bullets and tear gas? Plenty of video and interviews show that nothing severe or serious was going on BEFORE the instigation from ICE? Who asked for the involvement?

    Funny how if you stir up drama that drama often results from the instigation. Looks like another intentional attack situation to try and socially divide to push the deportation scheme from this administration.

    I guess its a good thing that Jan6th white folk event did not devolve into bullets and tear gas and ICE and the national guard...good thing.

    @wallstreetcappers

     If this was peaceful as you say why did LA Police use tear gas on their own "peaceful" citizens? 

    They impeded, blocked, threw rocks, sliced tires, set fires, etc.

     

    And Jan 6th? In your words, DEFLECTION ALERT! an_police

    And you say no tear gas or flash bangs shot into the crowd on Jan 6th?? Think again.  And no rubber bullets just a real one in the head of a "white" woman.

    @UNIMAN

     My deflection was white vs non-white and the INTENT from this administration. The agenda of Trump is of deportation and destruction via project 2025. 

    Deflection would be saying that the LA event was VALID because of an event, I did a COMPARISON not a deflection. White vs non-white that is a comparison and for sure not an equal event due to the lack of tear gas and bullets in Jan 6th.

    So who asked for ICE to step in, what was the purpose? Did you watch the videos of the interaction? It looked like people standing around wondering what the crap is going on and a group of ICE guys tossing out the gear to provoke, I did not see an aggressive front from the people protesting, I see one group anticipating and provoking and another wondering what is going on. Also several people who got impacted werent even involved in the event they were on-lookers.

    So are you going to call Reuters a liberal conspiracy source?

    This video does not look like cause to me, looks like people standing around and ICE looking like an invasion is in the works-

    In the US, over 93% of 7750  black lives matter protests were peaceful with no injuries and no property damages according to Armed conflict data project.  Police report people were injured in 1.6% of BLM protests.  3.7% of protests involve property damage or vandalism. Most arrests are for minor offences such as violating curfews.
