Biden created the poster?

I gotta say he does bear a slight resemblance to that Uncle Sam.

Just add a hat and beard

We'll see this video on mainstream media more than video of the riots.
Don't forget that the Secret Service almost had Trump get killed while under their protection.
They're not taking chances now

National Guard in LA left hanging with no pay ​

In interviews with more than a dozen of those deployed, Military.com found frustration that the Department of Defense, under Secretary Pete Hegseth, is not upholding its obligation to provide their "formal activation orders, the critical paperwork that not only authorizes their duty status, but also unlocks pay, Tricare health benefits and eligibility for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits."

According to the report, the failure of the administration is "... indicative of a slapdash mission where the welfare of troops has not been a priority. Several service members described inadequate living conditions at staging areas such as the military facility at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where soldiers are sleeping outside on cots due to a shortage of space. Others cited intermittent issues with food and fuel supplies."

No, everyone says there's no rioting on..

Actually the opposite of everyone says that. So your point doesnt even get out of the gate.

When the Commander in Chief says "Boo my political enemies", we say "How Loudly?"

And remember to buy Trump merch!

Trump merchandise sold at Fort Bragg for president's speech now under review​

When asked about pictures of troops in uniform buying Trump merch on a military base, a spokesperson for the base said the matter was under review.

An Army official said images of troops booing Democrats was regrettable.

[I understand the soldiers behind him were vetted for political leanings and not being too fat.]

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said.

The Army is a combat wing of the Republican Party.

D's should go get their own army if they want one.

‘Not True’: LAPD Chief Denies Asking Trump for National Guard​

“We’re nowhere near a level where we would be reaching out to the governor for National Guard at this stage,” McDonnell said. “My hope is that things are going in the right direction now and that we wouldn’t have had to have done that and we won’t either.”

Trump also claimed that “the police chief said so much” and quoted him as saying, “We’re very lucky to have had them.” But McDonnell says that’s simply not true. There was no request, and no such statement was made.

 

[Landon Caeli]

Have you called?

Not yet. But I'm saving the number for when I find some illegals.

Let's be honest - Trump failing to pay people that work for him isn't anything new.

While true, it's extremely important to remember that the troops work for and are paid by We The People. [Though Trump is CinC, obviously]

ICE issued a warning to attendees and said people should carry proof of their legal status, NBC 6 reported.

"Show me your papers"

There wasn’t, and that’s per the Trump administration. It went to the Supreme Court. He said he won’t follow their ruling. This is literally a non-contested point.

What are you talking about? The raid in LA had warrants.

Yes I do. See above.

No you dont. You've provided no evidence of it.

You said it, my guy. Don’t get mad at me for what you said. You very clearly have arrived at certain conclusions that the people they’re going for are found at Home Depot and you’ve made really clear that the people being rounded up are violent criminals (according to you anyway).

Lol, here's the media saying it. So the fact I point out whats being said has nothing to say about me. Here is what the media says about Home Depot.

The ICE Raids That Started the Fire: How Home Depot and Ambiance Apparel Sparked the Los Angeles Protests

The first spark came not in the streets, but at work. When a wave of ICE raids hit job sites

"Home Depot, too, has a long history as a magnet for day laborers and undocumented workers."

MSN

In the Pomona Home Depot raid, 10 undocumented immigrants were detained, a senior official from the Department of Homeland Security told CNN in an email. The operation was targeting one person with an active arrest warrant, the department and Customs and Border Protection said.

“Several of those apprehended had prior charges, including child abuse, assault with a deadly weapon, immigration violations and DUI,” the statement said."

Here is what an illegal immigrant actually said about the day laborers at Home Depots.

"Many day laborers are undocumented immigrants looking for work and a fair wage in appropriate and safe working conditions."

you’ve made really clear that the people being rounded up are violent criminals (according to you anyway).

Nope, violent criminals are being picked up.

It might be a good idea to do more research so you aren't fooled so easily. Otherwise some might think you are just being deliberately dishonest.

You know the NG doesn't get paid the same day they are called up right? They are paid through the proper channels and time.

 

[BPPLEE]

Now there are riots in NY, Trump hasn't sent the NG there so why is this happening?

 

[rjs330]

I saw the right-wing tweet claiming that, which you can see below. None of it's true. No riots in any of these cities. None.

I have no idea who that Carter Hughes is. Is he someone important?

Now of course we do have some riots that have happened around the country in some places. Even CBS and NBC news has reported on it. What theae people are doing is rioting. Plain and simple.

Protests against immigration raids continue to spread across the U.S. Here's a look at many of them.

How can there be riots if Trump has not deployed the National Guard and escalated things?
Must be some mistake
