I agree, abolish the federal government and Texas secede and rule itself. 

I'm seriously asking. Are you really so dumb that you believe in Texas secession? If not, why in the hell do you spend time pretending to be that dumb? You don't have to even answer but maybe take a good look at yourself and ponder that.

The video does a fine job of shaming. And I hope that restaurant remains safe.

And it won't.  It will be among the next targets of the raids.  Because we can't allow any dirty browns who have the temerity of acting like good citizens around.  It's bad press.  Better round 'em all up and shove them in a hole.

I'm dead serious.  "Good brown people" are more dangerous to the Regime than "bad brown people."  Because they show that we're all human beings.  And that's one message the Regime cannot and will not accept.

It seems MAGA has a consensus regarding the language it wants to use to replace the wording on the plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty ("Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses," etc.).

HED: Senate Republicans to Trump: Sic the Military on L.A.

https://substack.com/@perticone/note/p-165563857?r=3agz2m&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action

As JVL noted Sunday night, it’s possible that we’ve entered one of the most dangerous weeks in recent American history. That sense of threat has a lot to do with the president’s eagerness to use the military against U.S. citizens. Yesterday, the Trump administration mobilized a battalion of 700 Marines stationed at Twentynine Palms, California, after giving them instructions over the weekend to assume “prepared to deploy status should they be necessary to augment and support the DoD’s protection of federal property and personnel efforts.” Trump also activated the National Guard, the first time a president has done so in opposition to the will of a governor since the Civil Rights movement.

Before making my way into the Capitol on Monday—lawmakers don’t hold votes until the evening on the first day of the week—I sought out some Republican senators to ask them for their thoughts on the president’s actions. Were they concerned about this sudden and dramatic escalation? Did the specter of the military clamping down on U.S. citizens as they protested strike some concern within them? Nope and. . . nope. The ones who spoke with me actually seemed eager to see American troops occupy America’s second-largest city.

“I think he needs to restore order,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). “I’m mainly concerned about public safety and the president has clearly got authority in his federal capacity to deal with the National Guard. So, plenty of precedent.”

“I don’t think that the president had any choice,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.). “These weren’t just protests—these were riots. And it was clear that the governor and the mayor—the mayor’s idea of containment was to give them a hug and a cup of hot cocoa. And the president did what he had to do.”

As for whether he was okay with the Marines being deployed as well, Kennedy told me bluntly, “If they’re needed, yeah.”

“I don’t think they’ll do it unless it’s legal,” he added. “But if it’s necessary to contain the riots, yeah. We need to send whatever we have to end [the riots].”

Frankly, it’s hard to imagine an action of Trump’s that Kennedy and other Republicans would object to or not find “legal.” Kennedy’s words suggest as much: If the administration is doing it, it must be legal. You can’t come much closer to saying “the administration cannot do wrong” without just saying it.

The closest thing to criticism over Trump’s use of the guard and military in L.A. I heard from a Republican lawmaker was a comment from Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.). The chairman of the Armed Services Committee told me, “I was encouraged to hear that the mayor stated that the city and the federal government are now working collaboratively, and I think that’s the way it should be.”

Except, Wicker seems to not be aware of what’s actually happening. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass actually called the administration’s activation of National Guardsmen “a chaotic escalation,” adding in a later press conference:

“Let’s be real about this: This is about another agenda. It’s not about public safety. There is clearly no plan, and I want the people of Los Angeles to know that we stand with all Angelenos no matter where you were born.”

There might not be a plan, but there is a longstanding desire. Trump has fantasized about using the military against citizens for much of his political career. In the summer of 2020, he was eager to deploy U.S. soldiers against civilians protesting in various cities across the United States, according to former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

“I lived through that, and I saw over the summer of 2020 where President Trump and those around him wanted to use the National Guard in various capacities in cities such as Chicago and Portland and Seattle,” Esper said in a 2024 interview. “But my sense is his inclination is to use the military in these situations, whereas my view is that’s a bad role for the military,” Esper said. “It should only be law enforcement taking those actions.”

“I think President Trump has learned, the key is getting people around you who will do your bidding, who will not push back, who will implement what you want to do,” Esper added. “And I think he’s talked about that, his acolytes have talked about that, and I think loyalty will be the first litmus test.”

This is all in keeping with Trump’s inhumane—but mostly unimplemented—ideas about how to better secure the southern border from migrants, which have included building moats filled with alligators and snakes and shooting migrants in the legs.

These desires from the president are, at this point, well known. What wasn’t entirely clear was how Republican senators would respond to them when they were put into action. We’re getting our first taste of that now and it’s distressing.

And meanwhile Holman is saying with a straight face that they've rounded up rapists, murderers, pedophiles, etc, just in these LA raids.  Really, you are raiding garments factories and Home Depot labor pools for "the worst of the worst?"  So fucking disingenuous and despicable.

Left wingers want Nazis to stay in their little hollars, have their meetings amongst themselves, and eventually die, hopefully having never created any real havoc.  They don't really think of using Nazis as an avenue to power.

Right Wing:  Get government officials to wear masks to piss people off.  Bait those pissed off people to the extent you can, and lie about their actions, and use that to gain political power.

Unabashedly using violence as a tool.

True.  On the other hand, they spend way too much time at the coffee bar at AMPM. Mixing sugar and creme into their coffee like it's a science experiment.

No, I’ve never held or voiced that opinion. I was born, raised, educated, worked, and raised a family in this state. It is my home, and I will stand my ground against any traitor to the traditional Texan spirit, embodying the notions of 'live and let live,' the 'Golden Rule,' and opposition to authoritarian tyranny.

America is also my home, and I believe in the US Constitution and all its Civil Rights, including the inalienable ones: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You don't believe in any of that shit, which makes you both un-Texan and un-American. Go back to whatever shithole your ancestors fled from. You don't belong here.

I approve of this message.

He can go fuck himself.

Public safety bullshit by mfers who are not here. I took the bus yesterday and today to work. My route takes 6th street downtown through skid fucking row. No one is unsafe unless it is the cops starting shit with you and even they are pretty chill downtown most of the time unless directed by moron bullshit leadership to do stupid shit like now.

hearing reports that ICE is in the aisles of 99 Ranch (Asian) Market in fucking Irvine. Irvine.  Irvine with the lowest fucking crime rates imaginable.  Ranked as the "safest city in America" for  decades.  Great idea to focus on Irvine, you fat orange cunt.

This morning, 4 rapists/murderers came in my kitchen for a cup of coffee, and then banged out the trees. 

So phrasing is just not something we pay attention to any more?

Even still, I don't do it in mixed or professional company, just here among you assholes and with my likeminded drinking buddies.

Everything is fair game when you know your audience and they know you. You can always go for the joke without worrying that you'll be mistaken for being serious. Who doesn't use a yokel voice to speak the words of the idiot right including all manner of their foul prejudice? I'll say just about anything in that voice if I am among good friends.

Like I said, I'm not dying on this hill in the name of a shitstain like Abbott. I'll just add that going after someone for being ugly or fat or crippled is pretty low form of wit. I don't use the standards of the deplorables for much of my behavior. I'll happily go as low as anyone to defeat them but only to the extent necessary and, I must admit, gratifying.

No, this is because Trump has wanted to do this since 2020 (if not much earlier).

The left need not apologize for the right's behavior when offended.  Offend away.  Draw them out.  Make them furious.  They're going to act reprehensibly anyway, might as well poke the bear.  

I don't disagree. Im just saying
