PM:

CNN reported that the US Northern Command has said that about 500 US Marines were prepared to deploy to Los Angeles to quell the riots that have broken out there for three straight days. On Sunday, planned protests at the federal courthouse turned to riots after the protesters were moved away from the area.

President Donald Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard to Los Angeles after riots erupted on Friday night. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that if it should be necessary he was prepared to deploy Marines to the area as well. more

  1. “prepared to deploy”? What the hell are they waiting for? And I hope they bring live ammo as well! Tear gas and rubber bullets will not solve anything!

  2. While I generally support Trump and his choices deploying Active Duty military ANYWHERE in the United States is probably the WRONG CHOICE. We have more than enough National Guard troops who can be activated and used. Deploying active military inside the CONUS is a Rubicon we should NOT cross.

  3. Dan, I disagree. Deploying active military forces against an invading army, whether they are in uniform or not is a requirement of our military forces to defend our country! We need to wake the fuck up or we will lose our country. We can’t afford all the niceties of being proper gentlemen.

  4. Greetings from fort sumter, nice try, but you’re not even close to similar story line! If I were you I’d try a different angle if you’re trying to poke holes in our nation’s need to defend our borders from an illegal invasion!

  5. Greetings From Fort Sumter

    You should try and pay attention. This insurrection is being waged by illegals of military fighting age. Males. Democrats intent all along. That’s fine. Lets get it on. In case you’re not following the live coverage, it’s getting worse. We currently have a foreign army attacking our law enforcement in SoCal. We need to take the gloves off and start taking scalps. This could quite potentially escalate like a MoFo.

  6. US Marines were called into LA during previous race riots. But this is different: the race rioters were Americans (idiots, but Americans). These rioters are foreign born and foreign funded. Using the military to crush these invaders inside US borders? No problem. Now, when is Bondi going to indict the funders of the invaders’ rioting? WHEN???????

  7. “These rioters are foreign born and foreign funded.”

    “These rioters are foreign born and domestically funded (by Demonrats).”

    Fixed it for ya!

  8. “Anti-ICE rioters in Los Angeles are being organized by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA).
    CHIRLA is funded by ActBlue. Democrats are funding domestic terrorism. Where is Pam Bondi?”
