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.

I keep seeing people talking about the Marines and the National Guard being deployed, and this is certainly egregious and the blame for it rests squarely on Trump’s head… But I have not seen many people mention that the LAPD are not being deployed by Trump. They are being deployed by Californian Politicians, and from the livestreams and videos I’ve seen, the police are the ones shooting LTL rounds and flahsbangs at civilians and reporters. Let’s not lose sight of the fact that the police response has been unacceptably violent, national guard or not. It is the violence from the police that has historically, and will in this instance as well escalate the situation.

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.
Traitor president.
The sooner Americans learn to accept this is the historical event currently unfolding, the sooner we can take care of him and his enablers.
From what I’ve heard about the high integrity of the U.S. Marines, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them on the civilian side of the line.
Lmfao dude thats propaganda, the marines are teenagers who’ve had “loyalty above everything” kicked into their heads since they joined up. At best they just stand around and don’t do anything, but take it from a former marine, that situation is unlikely.
This response hit home. Thank you! Hopefully things remain peaceful.
Protestors should start bringing packs of Crayola to lure them across the line.
Or just start throwing crayons at the Marines, I’ll bet the dress blues in my closet they’ll laugh at that.
LOL!
Where have you heard this? We have marines constantly getting caught drinking and driving, breaking and entering, smuggling drugs, and even raping women here in Okinawa. I get called by the prosecutor’s office almost on a weekly basis to interpret for these guys.
On top of that many cops are former marines and could be in the national guard being called in.
It depends. One of the things you want to do as a dictator is to bring in units from distant areas, because the local ones will see the people as their neighbors. Trump made that mistake, so I doubt the Cal Guard is going to do anything. The Marines are from Twentynine Palms, but they could be from anywhere originally.
shithole country
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

The “police” are already illegally supporting ICE in their sanctuary city.
Pigs are always class traitors
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?
Doesn’t matter if it’s illegal, if there’s no consequences
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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…
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…
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!

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.
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.
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.
Kinda seems like the US has gone to war with her citizens: what with the deploying of troops against them and all. Maybe her citizens should start acting like they are at war.
Too bad there are no cases in history of a guerrilla force standing their own against the “undefeated” US military. /s

Well, I recently bought two guns and tons of ammo in preparation.
So have a few friends of mine in the last few months. And I know we aren’t the only ones.
If this administration wants a war, they’ll get it, but they will not win.
Buying a gun does not make you a warrior. How much do you train?
I shot around 20000 rounds a year, and would not want to go up against a trained armed force.

California didn’t accidentally become wealthy. Lots of smart & capable people there, albeit with much to lose.
They’ll reasonably try to keep a lid on things, but there’s a line not too far from where Californians have currently gotten pushed to.
Ooh will we see the 95-99 percent hire mercenaries to fight the 1%'s mercenaries?
Is this gonna be a proxy civil war?
No.
They should refuse the orders and arrest Trump and everyone else involved in this shit. Which includes a lot of the administration.
