The statement said the quiet part out loud: the military was there to “liberate” a city from its democratically elected governor and mayor. It all amounts to a pretty pellucid admission of the Trump administration’s ultimate vision here.

As I noted earlier this week, much of the effort to deploy troops to LA to clamp down on mostly peaceful protesters in the city can be seen through the lens of the president’s months-long effort to punish blue cities and states.
While he is hiding behind the guise of targeting Democratic-led states and cities that function as sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants, Trump’s barely disguised his bloodlust for using his second term to punish all of his perceived political enemies.
The majority voted them in; with her logic, we should be asking, "WHO is going to liberate us from Trump and Vance? and Bondi, Rubio, Bessent, Hegseth, Burgam, RFK, Lutnick, McMahon, Vought, Gabbard, Wiles, Duffy, Rollings, Chavez, Turner, Wright, Collins, Ratcliffe, Greer, and Loeffler?????
I think there's a Constitutional Amendment about that. Conservatives are usually pretty big fans of it, so I don't foresee them having a problem with people using it...
Frickin stupid ass political appointee Noem doesn't know that Mayor Bass was elected into the office, not handed the job for whatever deal you had with the big orange taco.
What if invoking the Insurrection act or calling up the Marines is in furtherance of another crime such as false arrests from unwarranted search & seizure, prohibited by the 4th Amendment or to enable& concealed extortion of emoluments either under Art1 S9 C8 or Art3 S1 C6 ?
Everyone should be talking about impeachment. Endlessly. Impeach. Try. Jail. No whiny excuses about it. The regime must go. We must be talking about it and setting it up.
I live in California and in a particularly woke part of the state. When people said to me after the felon stole the election, they're lucky to live here I replied: the facists will aim here first to begin their purge, arrests, etc. to set the example. Call me Debby Downer, but....
Noem said they are staying "to liberate the city from the socialists & the burdensome leadership that this governor & this mayor have placed on this country"
