City, county, state assets and personnel are doing their part, at the behest of state and local leadership. Apparently, the city, country, and state authorizes are unable to control the situation and need help.
icohftb Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Wonder if part of their resistance to the NG is they'd have to admit the peaceful protest is out of hand.
Biff_T Posted June 10 Posted June 10 LA (the city) mostly sucks. I live in Cypress CA. I'm about 30 seconds from LA county by car. Whenever I go to LA (city) I'm saddened by what a shithole it has become. It used to be a cool city 20 years ago. Now, it smells like piss and the whole city looks like that house down the street with 6 broken cars and 69 cats living in the front yard. 1
brickhistory Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Don't be a Chad. And remember, Big USN thought it a good idea to hire this guy as a JAG. https://redstate.com/jimthompson/2025/06/10/active-duty-navy-jag-outed-on-x-after-threats-against-ice-agents-n2190285 SECDEF fired THE Navy JAG soon after taking office. I doubt it'll take long to eliminate one LT, jg.

M2 Posted June 11 Posted June 11 That dog don't hunt in Texas! Our governor has already given the order for the National Guard to deploy in advance of upcoming protests expected here, especially in San Antonio. The Austin liberals are shitting squares about it, but it's well within his rights to do so! Some gender-confused misfit toys with rainbow hair will show up, flanked by Mexican flags; but as soon as they start transitioning from "peaceful protests" to rioters there will be enough bubbas around to squash that shit quickly!! We don't put up with that crap for long down here in the Alamo City! 2 1
disgruntledemployee Posted June 11 Author Posted June 11 Unless we start it's own thread, I'll put it here as "Surveillance" popped up here in the search enough times. https://www.wired.com/story/airlines-dont-want-you-to-know-they-sold-your-flight-data-to-dhs/ I found this quote interesting: “It's clear the data broker loophole is pushing the government back towards a pernicious ‘collect it all’ mentality, gobbling up as much sensitive data as it can about all Americans by default. A decade ago the public rejected that approach, and Congress passed surveillance reform legislation that banned domestic bulk collection. Clearly it's time for Congress to step in again, and stop the data broker loophole from being used to circumvent that ban.”

The day was 1000% WRONG but as you very correctly point out it was not an insurrection. I get the dictionary definition but I have always viewed an insurrection as trying to overthrow the government, QAnon Shaman with his headdress and American flag were never a threat to our government, no one tried to seize power. A lot of left wing sites even call it a attempted coup. Does anyone truly think control of the American Government was ever in doubt or danger? That being said, a bunch of morons running around the Capital Building is wrong and makes us look like a banana republic. Also, as bad as that day was only three people died that day and none of them were killed by the protesters. Ashli Babbitt: An Air Force veteran who was shot through a door by a Capitol Police officer while trying to enter the House chamber. Kevin Greeson: Died of a heart attack on the sidewalk west of the Capitol. Rosanne Boyland: Died from an accidental overdose The really ironic thing, and any of you who spend time on the Hill will know...ANYONE can enter the Capital. If you fly to DC tomorrow, you are free to go through security and enter the People's House...wander the halls and go to the office of ANY elected representative. It is important to note the Capital was closed on Jan 6th at the request of Democrats because they saw large numbers of Pro-Trump supporters "walking around". Kind of rich given Crazy Aunt Nancy turned down the offer of extra security in the form of the National Guard. Obviously you can't enter the capital after hours or when it is closed and you MOST certainly can't push past police, enter restricted areas and commit acts of vandalism. I take both sides with a giant grain of salt but clearly with the Biden Administration in control in charge of the Justice Department we never got all the answers about what really happened and I think we the American people DESERVE to know the truth. I still have a lot of questions about the actions of the FBI, several agents and numerous confidential informants. Will Kash Patel get to the truth without bias remains to be seen but there are some KEY facts that are known to be true As matters of fact from the Jan 6th report - there were a total of 26 confidential human sources in the crowd outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but only four of them were assigned by the FBI to be there. One of the four confidential human sources tasked by the FBI to attend the rally entered the Capitol building, while the other two entered the restricted area around the Capitol. Did they play a part in inciting the acts that happened? It was a dark day for our country and I hope it never happens again, one of the best was to prevent another occurrence is to FULLY understand the truth about what happened. I agree! It was a bad day and never should’ve happened. But calling it an insurrection doesn’t seem right either. We still don’t have all the facts, and people deserve to know the full story. If we really care about fairness and justice, we need the truth, no matter who it makes look bad. That’s the only way to stop something like this from happening again. Edited June 14 by CharlesDavid
tac airlifter Posted June 22 Posted June 22 (edited) Powerful and convincing arguments against Trump. One might even say opinions will “tip over” against POTUS, and his administration will capsize after this brutal attack. Edited June 22 by tac airlifter 5

If you predicted the downturn and shorted everything, congrats. But I think most Trump voters expected him to make everything great and didn't short the market and when they checked their accts recently, went WTF. Just wanted to check to see how this post was doing… Oh, and here’s something else: We’ll continue to see the market rise and fall, as it always does, regardless of who is President. But to those who were cheering for it to lose for the whole sake of making Trump look bad, well, I guess your emotions got the better of you. 1
disgruntledemployee Posted June 26 Author Posted June 26 You tell me/us. That's the original question in my post. Taking my post as cheering for economic ruin is retarded. I was pissed at his carelessness with people's life savings. See the difference?

I was pissed at his carelessness with people's life savings. See the difference? Well my super lazy investing (index funds/target retirement IRAs) are up 12% in the last year and 4% since Trump took office. So yeah, only positive impact on my investments from Trump’s economic policies. And I’m sure people who are far more active/educated/“pros” in their investing are doing much better.

Eh, unlikely, at least in large caps. I tried the "active" route the first half of the year. The steep V recovery kicked my ass. I'll stay in my indexing lane from now on. Edited June 26 by nunya 1
brabus Posted June 26 Posted June 26 @nunya I just know some guys who have beat my numbers decisively, but I’m not interested in going down that road personally. To do so, I think you have to be really into it, have a deep understanding, and some luck. I’m definitely 1/3 at best.
