The Administration’s plan to escalate the peaceful protest in Los Angeles is in full swing. Militarized ICE agents attacking a macho-driven community is not wise. Nevertheless ICE was able to secure their areas with modest support from county and state Local Law Enforcement (LLE). No Federal assistance was requested; however, the Trump administration illegally mobilized and seconded the California National Guard. That was an inflammatory response fueled simultaneously with rabble-rousing malign words from xenophobic Steven Miller, racist militant Tom Homan, dog shooter Kristi Noem, and the drunk Pete Hegseth. They are all instigating turmoil and fanning the flames. If they had any peace-inducing ideas, they would STFU. I did not know where this protest will lead, but peace during protests is suggested. Stop with the rock throwing, please. Passionate is okay. I suggest just laying down in the streets. Big, heavy protestors should take a rest, as I explain. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/uninvited-trump-escalates-conflict?r=3m1bs

I'm hoping my being 73 keeps me from being beat up. My FUCK NAZIS shirt was given to me and many others at a protest on Sat- 2 young Dockworkers spent their own money to have 'em made and they handed out at least 50. Sweet of 'em.

Hello Pamela... How about two Signs:

1) This Parade is for a Traitor-In-Chief 5x Draft Dodger who Has Been Impeached 2X So Far...

2) This Parade is for a Traitor-In-Chief that has called those that Serve, Suckers and Losers...

Only he and his regime will probably be there. I doubt that the maga rich would stand along the route to watch. That would be too much like being a peasant. Understand that there are still tickets available. trump better start buying them soon, so he can say it was a sell-out.

The only thing I can think of right now is

FUCK THESE COCKSUCKING NAZI MOTHERFUCKERS.

We should do to them now what the Germans and Poles should have done to them in 1939, or else we can rest assured, the rest of the world will do to US what they did to Germany in 1945.

ARE WE USED TO THIS YET? Because it sure feels like we are being groomed to have the same rights as citizens of North Korea.

Why isn't anyone asking where the ICE and Boarder Patrol are being recruited from? We all know. No one but the KKK, White Supremecists Neo N@%i gestapo goons would apply. Why isn't this being reported on? I would not be surprised if they make up the bulk of the US Marshals, the Secret Service, HMS, DEA, any law enforcement under the DOJ, including part of the FBI. The CIA was always recruited from max sec prisons.

Hmmm. As I recall, Citizens United says that donating money in politics is speech. Trump is threatening Elon with a First Amendment violation???

I suspect that what cows Elon is threatened cancellation of his contracts. As he well knows, federal contracts have a termination for convenience clause.

Thanks guys!

What a weekend. The photo of the K.J. Un-tanks should scare every American as it is disgusting, not what he deserves, if this was a US democratic tradition, and F him.

I've been on a beat any inanimate object roll and I see the Baptists are doing exactly what I think should be one on the immunity case.

Ask for a review and reversal. Novel times call for novel requests, expectations and damn, I'd be mad AF, that the Executive has overreached into my territory, as the judicial branch, especially the SCOTUS justices, and would want to flex some muscle.

Apparently, they have none to flex or simply are not interested, which is why we are here in the first place.

Have a safe week! Thanks again.

In betwixt and between all the good info, I have one comment about the news bit regarding Melvin donating to Democrats. Any Democrat that accepts money from him needs to resign immediately! I will not vote for that person! On a related note, I'm looking forward to the many Democrat congressional primaries next year.
