700 Marines ordered to assist in Los Angeles
A U.S. official confirmed 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles. They are expected to arrive over the next 24 hours.
The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a “prepared to deploy status” if the Defense Department needed them.
They will join 300 California National Guardsmen who are on Title 10 federalized active duty status in California. Those National Guardsmen were mobilized by Trump through Title 10 authorities and are under the command of U.S. Northern Command.
“We’ll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It’s now heading in the right direction,” President Donald Trump told ABC News’ Karen Travers.

Right… Because you need 700 highly trained military personnel to deal with civilians.
That is in contrast with untrained cops having fucking tanks in their disposal though. I don’t argue your point, but it just sounds like some sort of a societal sadomasochism.

The “police” are already illegally supporting ICE in their sanctuary city.
Pigs are always class traitors
Doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, if there’s no consequences
Well, it actually does matter this time around. I think this is going to come back to Trump if we make it through long enough. California doesn’t fuck around.
This is what so many people fail to understand.
When your boss steals $100 from your paycheck, you’re supposed to file a wage claim, wait years for your day in court, and even when you show that the company stole from you, the punishment for them is a small fine ($50 per person first time, $100 per person every time after that). You don’t even get the fine. The fine is paid to the state.
Now flip it around and imagine what happens when you steal $100 from the company. Immediate legal repercussions, multiple court dates, probation if you’re lucky and jail if you’re not.
The entire system is designed to fuck people as hard as possible while reserving the kid gloves for corporations and oligarchs.
I am gleefully awaiting the day protesters start disappearing federal agents/national guard. Fuck all fascists, even the ones “just following orders”. No habeas corpus is a two way street motherfuckers
This
Trump has been using the Constitution as toilet paper with zero consequences. Why do you think he cares about this?
We know who is really behind this stuff: Russell Vought.
The remaining question is: how to make it look like a suicide?
Isn’t there a law against this? Not that Cheetoface cares about those…
Somehow the criminal pedophile rapist doesn’t care about the law. Maybe if they vote for him the third time he will keep his promises

I understand Crayola is usually the preferred brand amongst marines.
Don’t cheap out on our military!!
BAS is not high enough to afford Crayola
Bring some lube, too. Not all Marines prefer to consume them orally.
So this is what freedom looks like? Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed? Probably sitting in the parents basement surfing the net for manga.
2nd Amendment fanboys
That was just cosplay.
Where the actual fuck are all the active duty military personnel who all swore an oath to defend the constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic? They are literally oath-bound to engage Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the United States.
Do your fucking job already!
Where are all the 2nd Amendment fanboys when they’re needed?
Siding with the cops and looking for a Target they can protect while shooting some n***ers.
Karl from InrangeTV is probably one of the only genuinely honest Second Amendment supporters out there and he summed it up pretty well (in his video on how Palantir/Doge is all about surveilance and The Government is already coming for people): The vast majority of gun nuts (youtube or otherwise) are silent because they align with what is happening.
Ah yes, why won’t someone else come to save us?
Collectively, you voted for this fascist. As a non-USian, I’ll just grab my popcorn and watch the drama unfold. Very similar to watching the Brexit debacle here in Europe.
Unfortunately this shit show won’t be contained so I wouldn’t be so gleeful in the end of the united states, this will get to you, the united states has the record of spreading the “democracy” where they see fit so it might be coming to a country near you or to you…
Fortunately nothing bad ever happens in Europe, so enjoy your smug superiority.
We don’t have yet a dictatorship where the army is shooting citizen and foreign reporters.
Which timeline is that Europe of yours in?
Don’t you guys have an active war zone?
Orban? Erdogan? Mussolini making a comeback? I could go on…

Posse Comitatus:
https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained
What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?
The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.
These are California marines, could the state of California prosecute them?
Not for a federal crime, no. Same reason that state police can’t enforce immigration laws.
Is it a nitpick to say since the posse comitatus mentions the army and air force, but not the navy, it doesn’t apply to the marines? I have no clue, I just know the US are very literal with their laws.
what stops a member of the armed services from denying a command or order if it is unlawful? what about if it may be unlawful? (ie needs to be proven as such but “right now” just smells unlawful?)
Officially the guidance is to comply but document and raise the question after…
Unofficially if you refuse and make it clear you’re taking the court martial and chain of command folds.
With this situation the real question is if they standby and watch ICE/cops abuse citizens, or if they interject and stop the violent side.
The military has much higher standards on what acceptable.
yeah makes sense. i think after the drama from the massacres in vietnam they must have tried to pivot and change tactics in those regards.
Indoctrination/brainwashing.
The official stance is that they SHOULD ask questions and point out their objections… to their superiors. Who will, in turn, raise their own questions. Until it gets to a lifer who doesn’t give a fuck and just wants to burn a family to death so that they can take credit for a successful mission and maybe get promoted in a few years.
But, in the meantime? It doesn’t matter if you support The Mission. Hell, your NCO doesn’t either. But what matters is that you want to protect the men and women, but mostly men (because women are for raping back at base), in the foxhole next to you. So go get the gas can and follow some orders.
Assist with what, motherfucker? Continuing denial of due process rights?
Cool and normal! 😬
Trump left his tinydick phylactery in Los Angeles and sent the people who would have been correctly convicted at the Nuremberg Trials to try to find it, but he has to keep sending more because it is so small.
I hope their always faithful to their country, not their dictator
You had three homonyms in your sentence and took the bold strategy of using the same spelling for all of them but got it right twice.
66%, still passing.
Huh. I always thought homonyms need to both sound the same (homophone) and spelt the same (homograph). But a quick search showed they could be either.
My whole life has been a lie.
