    wonderful gun safety there, just merrily point it at people’s crotches while your finger is near the trigger, why not!

      It’s weirder than that, they don’t seem to have chins at all. Their heads are like perfectly round melons.

    Like Tiananmen square, the regime stopped using local troops in an attempt to flex their authority and instead brought in outside military with no attachment to the area so they would have less trouble being ordered to fire on civilians.

    These gravy seals from the South are gonna be the tattered flag and trump sticker on a truck types that sit around the desk at the guard base wishing they could punch a liberal.

      One minor quibble. To date, I am not aware of any US cities where residents are actually rioting. To date, no one in ICE has actually been injured by protesters. Certainly nobody has died. No property has been destroyed. Nobody is really fighting back.

      Let me know when someone in Portland actually sets an APC on fire.

      The closest thing to Tiananmen in America in physicality was J6. Then maybe the Chaz Protests in Portland in June of 2020 or BLM in Ferguson and Baltimore. Nothing like that is happening now. Even the anti-genocide college protests at Columbia and UCLA don’t really come close to what Chinese protesters managed in Beijing.

      Americans are largely passive in the face of their own oppression.

      How I would love to just look at them and say “actually you’re the liberal” and watch them lose their minds.

    When Texas sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

    A chunky guy with a gun is dangerous because he’ll use it to solve the problem with minimal physical expenditure

      Looks like they’re sending their Human Hamburger Squad. Watch out, fast food restaurant owners!

      Maybe they did. Once. Long ago. Because the tester was even less fit and the only criterion was if a bunch of 17-year-olds could outrun a 60-something with a 40 years of military-sponsored junk food headstart and half out of breath just shouting “ready – set – huff Go!”

      Didn’t Trump and Hegseth just call the generals together to rant about fat officers? Why did they immediatly mobilize fat soldiers then, that’s worse.

      That is of course in addition to the fact that deploying them on US soil with no foreign enemies is plainly unconstitutional.

    I can’t think of a single reason why they shouldn’t be arrested the moment they show up in Chicage. Traitors and criminals, the lot of them.
