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.

Trump is a traitor.
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
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.
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…
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.
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!
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.
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.
I think LAPD are essentially their own political institution, barely accountable to civilian or elected leadership
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.
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.
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
us citizens are too fucking stupid to do anything truly substantial about it.
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.
i’ve been armed for a long fucking time, but not because i want to start the fucking revolution. I’ve been armed because you can’t depend on the police for jack shit. it just felt like common sense.
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.
Posse Comitatus:

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.
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.
Which they are not allowed to do.
shithole country
Cool and normal! 😬
