This is why states need to put their military spending and equipment into state guards. 19 states including California have independence state guards that the federal government and president have zero control over. Continuing to invest in the state national guard over the state guard is an idiotic waste of time and defense risk. Regardless of your thoughts on Trump specifically, any president can order the national guard or even take them away from their state entirely. Asinine.
alright gang lets lay this one out. the governor of california is known for disliking trump. in an attempt to stop the violent attacks from non-peaceful protesters, he sent in troops. why? because LAPD just did not have that shit under control. what do you do when the police cant fix it? you send in the big guys. AND YES its true! Trump did say he would not send in the national guard without approval. unfortunately the governor chose pride and who knows what kind of judgement and made - 1/2
Yall are dumb as fuck. How is burning buildings and looting (yes, because looting will really tell Trump to stop!) going to do anything to stop the immigration? I’m all for protests and advocating for opinions, but you cannot reasonably expect them to be ok with destroying city infrastructure and local businesses. All that will do is fuel Trump’s decision to increase immigration.
This is what I’m saying!!!!!!! I don’t understand how people think this is doing any good and how they can support this! They can protest peacefully and there would not be an issue but when violence and damage comes into play, obviously they have to stop it. Otherwise it would be an apocalypse. Many of the businesses and houses destroyed are people who support the cause they’re fighting for
Then do the thing that people are protesting for?? Like I don’t get how you’re ignoring the fact that protests start because the people aren’t satisfied in the first place. Protests are meant to be uncomfortable and inconvenient for the rich since they’re not listening to the people. Give the people what they want and the rich won’t have to be inconvenienced. Simple.
giving the angry mob whatever they want is never the way to run a country. people protest for all kinds of reasons, many of which you probably strongly disagree with. should the gov give them what they want if they start burning buildings down? everyone should have the right to PEACEFULLY protest, but when you destroy property (which is a crime) of course the gov is going to intervene.
The people have the right to overthrow the government if they’re not being given what they want. The government should represent the needs to the people. If a group of people is saying “hey we’re not happy with this” I’m not saying the government should give them what they want but the government should look into reasons as to WHY they’re protesting. Go to the root and address it. Not send the national guard to pillage and detain people left and right. This does not apply to hate speech.
the protests in this case are the stupid loud minority. trump largely campaigned promising immigration laws and got elected and many polls have shown that that was one of the biggest issues for votes. so the people protesting aren’t the majority, the majority wants this and approves of this. democracy is being served
as someone else already said, the majority of voters voted for trump who campaigned heavily on cracking down on illegal immigration. many polls have shown that a large majority of americans wanted this, including a portion of democrats and majority of moderates. if some people have a problem with it they are welcome to protest peacefully, but he is representing the people on this issue. the government can’t possibly give everyone what they want.
no not if you can provide proof of citizenship or legal status, which most people easily can with any form of ID. even if someone is wrongfully detained, ICE can easily look them up and see their legal status so it would almost always be a brief misunderstanding. deportation of citizens is extremely rare and has also happened under past administrations.
Peaceful protesting only works when you have level headed leadership who's willing to negotiate and hear you out. When you have a truly tyrannical dictatorship the only way to meet them with the same force they met you with. Take N. Korea for example. If the population wanted to rise up, which strategy do you think is more likely to succeed: a peaceful protest asking Kim Jong Un to please open trade and feed them, or killing him?
but trump is doing what the majority of americans want done to address this issue. polls have shown this numerous times. he’s not being a tyrannical dictator, at least on this issue. he’s just doing something that a lot of people, but still a minority, don’t like. and whether you like it or not, the only lawful way to fight it is to peacefully protest or challenge him through the court system.
I know it's really tempting right now to use everything as evidence of Trump being a dictator (which he is), but that is just factually wrong. The military in all its forms are federal, with snational guards being partially run under states, but ultimately they fall under the commander-in-chief.
well, entering a country illegally or overstaying a visa is a crime so all them committed a crime. kilmar smuggled hundreds of people across the border which is very much a crime. and he’s back now to face charges in america, though i don’t think americans should have to fund the prison stay of someone who came from another country and is not a citizen.
most people being sent there have ties to gangs and have been involved in violence. i think people who have only committed the crime of illegal entry should just be sent back to their home country, which is usually the case. it seems like federal judges have been pretty on top of challenging unlawful deportations or imprisonments, which is how these issues should be handled. not burning down people’s livelihoods and local police stations.
What about Merwil Gutiérrez, a 19 year old boy that ICE detained by mistake, even admitting it was a mistake. They knew they had the wrong person and still said “take him anyway.” Is it okay with you that that boy is now in a maximum security ‘prison’ for the rest of his life for committing the crime of existing?
I don't like that riots work. I don't condone violence and I'd go so far to say that I hate violence. But historically speaking. it works. it gets attention. it forces politicians to make decisions when they feel like their jobs or money or whatever is at risk. It damn well may be the only way we get out of this mess.
keep in mind you have the free will to recognize that unless you’re being impacted directly, it’s not fair of us to tell people how to protest this god awful administration. yes rioting sucks but what are you left with when you’ve tried everything else? you also have the free will not to be a condescending douche canoe about it
Yea I saw that and I honestly don’t know how that number was achieved. A break down can be seen here: https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/democrats-oversight.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2025-03-24-gec-to-aoc-thomas-austin-re-jan-6-restitution.pdf According to the link, there were 2.7 million dollars in damages to the property, about 20 million dollars for repairs and cleanup, 10 million for the DC police response, and somehow the national guard response was 2 billion
You should go read the press release by LAPD saying the protests were peaceful until ICE and started attacking people. Also how ironic that all those far right hypocrites were so anti mask during covid when it was public health but are now totally fine with it as long as it conceals their identity while they violate people’s civil and human rights.
How the hell are they not destroying the city? Even left winged news sources say they are. How are you in some sort of fantasy land that you don’t realize that? You say that Republicans are in the wrong for the capital incident, yet liberals always somehow forget when 25 people were killed and hundreds of people injured BECAUSE OF LIBERALS PROTESTING IN 2020! You all are unreal.
As far as I know people that voted for this reason just wanted to immigration quota to reduce. That is not the same as spreading hate to non-white immigrated citizens, treating”illegal” citizens aka people who haven’t been given the immigration process by the government, like animals, and the government spending money on sponsoring white South Africans on their immigration instead of helping the American people.
interesting that you emphasized raiding elementary school graduations and presented it as a bad thing. if my kid was in an elementary school where a criminal is (possibly violent, again we don’t know anything about these people and what they did in their countries of origin since they came here illegally without presenting any form of paperwork) then i’d want that graduation to be raided in order for my kid to be safe, as a citizen.
Hating trump does not equal hating America. Neither does protesting people being abducted off the streets. Sending in the fucking military to put down protests disagreeing with you is just a gross misuse of power. What you seem to not be understanding is that these are PEOPLE with HOMES and FAMILIES. What’s been happening is not okay, regardless of if they’re here legally or not
I mean more like What does it mean for something to be a right? I don’t really get what people mean by this So does “right” just mean a thing that people should have? Cause it feels a bit circular if that is the case “we should have this because we should have this” essentially what do you mean by right?
there is a very good reason that the standard for charging someone with treason is incredibly high and why we shouldn’t be throwing the term around casually where it doesn’t apply. the punishment for treason is typically understood to be death. is that what you want people to think youre calling for?
I don’t like him either. Here’s the thing. No matter what, we as people have lost control to determine what happens. 200+ years of mafia and corporations have shifted our politics into inhumane idiots and a split party system that can no longer achieve anything together. Rioting, fighting eachother, ain’t gonna do a thing. It’s a lose lose no matter the party. That’s why America is in shambles
You’re misunderstanding my argument; I was responding to #18’s post of “you’re sitting here defending using our own military against our own god damn citizens”. I was pointing out that the government using our military against our own citizens isn’t inherently bad, using the example with Eisenhower as an instance when it was good. Also, which newly passed Amendment was Eisenhower enforcing exactly?
You came in with the opinions like you want to “fix” everyone else’s . I’m telling you that’s not the healthiest way to go about things. Ima let you believe your things and we’ll see how ya turn out. But I recommend you look up how to have a civil debate before diving in like a headless chicken
Stfu punk. Army reserve and NG are the different things. Also dont put “fighters” after reserve. There’s no 11b reserves (except for that small unit in hawaii) and enough of 19d in the army reserves. So once again dont spit some random stuff out of ur dumbass mouth 👄 the things u say is the disgraceful and disrespectful. And i don want u to ruin my uniform i used to wear as a nco.
Funny how you cite “the majority” but Trumps approval ratings are historically terrible, even during the first 100 days which are extremely favorable in terms of approval ratings. Even IF the majority of people wanted this (they absolutely dont lol and neither do most conservatives they’re just ignorant of the consequences) that doesn’t give the government the right to violate human rights. If 51% of people in America wanted to bring back slavery, should we allow it? Hell no.
first off there’s no such thing as an illegal citizen. “people who haven’t been given the immigration process” yeah we call them border hoppers and they broke the law and committed a crime by entering a country illegally or “without given the immigration process.” i didn’t vote to reduce the immigration quota. i voted to kick the illegals out and id in fact like to see the immigration quota increase because we benefit from immigration, but the LEGAL way, without them receiving welfare.
You know what would be a great solution, one that avoids a significant monetary cost, as well as physical, emotional, psychological pain, etc? If you’re okay with immigration, at least the legal way, then why not just put those here illegally through the immigration process, rather than ripping them from their homes and families? Solves all the problems quite easily actually
So what am I supposed to do? I feel like I’m going insane because people are constantly acting like this guy is doing a great job and want him or Vance to run again. Both of who are a disaster if we somehow make it out of the next 4 years. I can’t afford to leave the country and the rate it’s going, it doesn’t look like anyone will be able to soon
So when it’s the 13th amendment being violated it’s unconstitutional but when it’s the 4th and 5th being violated it’s okay? 🤔 No one is arguing that deportation is illegal, it’s the manner in which they are raiding peoples’ homes, lives, not giving them a trial, and deporting them without due process. THIS is illegal. To top it off, even US citizens are being illegally deported.
It always starts by having rights taken away in the name of “safety.” Every. single. damn. time. Land of the free but oh no this is okay because [insert justified rationale here]. They’re criminals! but having a convinced felon as a President is okay because [xyz here]. It will fix all our problems! Quick history lesson, minorities have been blamed countless times throughout history for the woes and problems of society. This is no different.
these ppl will never listen. they’re too busy hating the person making the same if not less than them. These ppl have blind faith in a government and in leaders who do not have their best interest in mind and still they defend them. The only way to knock some sense into these assholes is they be the victim of what this administration is doing. and they will be…like the saying goes “first they came for the trade unionists and i did not speak up because i was not a trade unionists…”
If you assume that every man is good, what happens when a bad man shows up? Men have all the power in all dynamics, it makes sense that women would want to protect themselves because they’re the ones taking the risk. Why can’t we criticize the horrible culture men put forward? You know how much shit could be solved if men just got over their ego and went to therapy?
So we should just start pushing the same misogynistic agenda that the right is pushing in the hopes that we’ll convince men to come over? They’re not coming over because they already are being told by the right that everyone on the left hates them when that objectively isn’t true
This is exactly the kind of stuff that makes me not want to be left leaning. Like I’m a straight white man who has done nothing wrong. I agree with the majority of this parties values yet get shit on cause of how I was born with these blanketed statements all the time even if not directed directly at me
Ok but you need to apply this the other way as well. There are terrible women in the world but we don’t assume every woman is bad. Criticism is fine but apply it to specific individuals not groups. If you applied that mentality to ANY other group it is racist, xenophobic, sexist, etc
So you’re willing to throw away everything you believe because people are actually critical of overt misogyny? Nobody is saying that all men are evil but that women need to be cautious if they don’t know who they’re dealing with. You think I’m happy about it? I’m also a white guy, but understand why someone wouldn’t trust me the moment they see me
No. That’s not at all what we’re saying. Completely ignoring the negative doesn’t help anyone, I agree with you. Making those negative traits a blanket statement about men as a whole rather than just those who actually partake in the negative shit perpetuates the whole incel mentality that men are persecuted for just existing. It’s about finding balance, and looking for the best in everyone rather than the worst
That’s the problem is people ARE saying all men are evil. Thats the issue that’s causing so many younger guys to drift towards the right. And yeah I totally get why women would want to be cautious, I’m always making an effort to seem as harmless as possible. But saying all men are evil doesnt help anyone
But when we criticize those who actually partake in it, they just twist it to say all men anyway so there’s never any criticism at all. There really is no hope. We’re all doomed so I guess I should just become a republican because there’s nothing that will stop this regime
there are women out there who truly believe it and that’s the issue. i’ll probably get flak for this but like ACAB too. i know some and are friends with some police who are liberal, hate trump, hate the way policing is done. again it’s blanket statements that some people really really believe that’s the issue
That’s not what I’m saying though. That’s not the only option. You’re viewing this as a black and white issue. We live in the grey. There are absolutely men out there who have done terrible things. Women too. People in general are capable of truly atrocious acts. Just look at these deportations as an example. That doesn’t mean there’s no hope
as someone below said, “peaceful protests only work when leaders are level headed and willing to listen.” that is SO far from the case here. and historically, this sorta action has had the most success in getting the necessary change. on top of all of that, where was this type of energy when the maga cult stormed the capitol??
the old man who plants the seed of a tree doesn’t get to see the tree in all its glory. It was planted for the next generations to come to enjoy. ik it sucks, ik it hurts, to be awake in these times but It is our duty. You don’t see it but there are people fighting tooth and nail for a better future for all of us. Look at the protests all around the country, these ppl care just as much as you and they’re not giving up because it feels impossible. They’re fighting harder than ever.
So I want to apply ur rhetoric to something else so to show you how absolutely insane ur argument is. Here you say “im a white guy, but understand why someone wouldn’t trust me the moment they see me” can you first please explain exactly why you think a women should be cautious here?
I’m not yelling at you dawg. I’m just trying to calmly explain how you’re misunderstanding what we’re saying. I’m doing my best to help spell it out for you. We’re going in circles here. Nobody’s saying you should stop criticizing shitty people. Do that. Absolutely. Hold them accountable. When doing so, try to avoid blanket statements. Even if the shitty ones try to twist it, in time people will realize that isn’t true. You just have to hold on to the hope that things will get better
I’ve been holding out hope for 6 months and it’s only gotten worse and worse. Why should I hurt myself more holding out hope for something that will never happen. And I’m not using blanket statements but if everything I say has to have a 3 paragraph disclaimer explaining that I don’t hate all men just that one in particular then I’ll never get anywhere
Have you looked through this comment section? The majority is fighting to make themselves heard on the fact that what he’s doing is wrong, and needs to be stopped. They may be hated by the slight majority of the country, but they’re still fighting. Still hoping for a better tomorrow
Then explain that that isn’t what you’re saying. Have a conversation. Someone getting mad or saying something about you doesn’t make it final. You do have the ability to respond. And I’m not saying you hate all men. Not in the slightest. I’m just using that as an example, from the TikTok live someone sent before
that’s just not true, so many people hate trump. and speaking literally in terms of the world, i have some friends in germany, poland, denmark, canada, norway. they all hate trump too lmao. the light at the end of the tunnel is holding out hope that this fascist take over we’re living in ain’t gonna be around forever
Dude the country isn’t perfect but the media on both sides are making it look worse than it is. Yes we have problems but our country isn’t falling to fascism like the media is claiming. The checks and balances in our country have been consistently working against him for the most part and he hasn’t been able to do nearly as much as he wants.
That’s just not true. The courts that he oversteps typically don’t have the authority in the first place to impose anything on him. The Supreme Court voted against him with García and he is back in the us. They voted against him resuming quick deportations of Venezuelans and I believe he has followed that too.
Last time I’m gonna say it, cause this has been going on for like hours now. Criticize those doing bad things. I hope that is clear enough. Now, a little more: do that WITHOUT criticizing a whole group, based on gender, race, whatever. Don’t use blanket statements. It’s just a matter of phrasing. If you want you can go back through all the other advice I’ve given you already
My man. Remember what I said about going in circles. Just cause they say that doesn’t mean you have to just take it and roll over. And yk what, when you fight back? People are gonna be mean to you. They might hate you. And honestly, you just gotta suck it up and fucking deal with it. Cause that’s just what you gotta do sometimes
I NEVER SAID YOU DID. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. QUIT IT WITH THE GODDAMN VICTIM MENTALITY. NOBODYS OUT TO FUCKING GET YOU. NOBODYS MAKING YOU THE VILLAIN. YOURE DOING THAT TO YOURSELF. GROW A FUCKING BACKBONE, AND GROW THE FUCK UP. EVERYONE ISNT GONNA BE NICE TO YOU ALL THE TIME. AND YEAH, THIS IS ME YELLING AT YOU, FOR REAL THIS TIME
Fine what do you want then? I’m a terrible person and should die. Is that what you want me to say? There I’m not saying I’m a victim. I NEVER FUCKING SAID I WAS A VICTIM so I guess the only option is for me to say I’m the villain which I remember you saying at the very beginning of this that I’m not the villain but I guess that was just a lie
No I don’t what? I just don’t think he’s doing AS bad as you think he is. I’m capable of highlighting both good and bad things he’s done. An easy example of the bad is how he started doing gold cards an easy example of the good is him removing taxes on tips. I’d like to see you say something positive about him however because I think you have been convinced that it isn’t possible to like anything about him.
I’m literally saying that I’m the problem. Which do you want? I don’t get it. I point out what’s going on, then I’m the victim. I blame myself for being a terrible person, somehow I’m still the victim. So what other option is there? You seem to hate me no matter what I say so what can I possibly do
but what you were saying that we’re “labeling you a villain” was the victim mentality. then this “i’m such a horrible person” is also victim mentality. it’s like oh woe is me. that’s all. that’s it. we’re not blaming you for criticizing trump. we never said to shake your morals and stop calling people out. but you keep either misinterpreting or twisting our words
Dawg we don’t want you to say anything. Just like, take a minute to think about all of the time we spent, all of the things we said to try and help you. Read through all the times you deliberately misinterpreted what we were saying. And then think about how you phrased a lot of your comments, and how it comes across as making yourself look like a victim
Why should I have to suck the dick of a guy that has plunged us into a failing economy, ruined our relationships with other countries and blatantly been sending people to concentration camps all while lying about the good things he claimed to do but never has. My state is ruined and he refuses to help. I currently work for tips and he never put that no tax on tips into law when he said he would do it day one
You’re not angry about “laws”—you're angry at people who don't look or live like you. Immigrants don't 'leech'-they clean your homes, pick your food, build your cities, and still get scapegoated for problems they didn't cause. If anyone's entitled here, it's the ones whining about 'tax dollars' while ignoring basic humanity. Y’all are the ones begging on the side of the road for money instead of working but that’s a conversation yall ain’t ready to have. Dumbass.
Sure, but breaking up families, sending in the military to take people off the streets? That’s not the solution. They don’t even have to KNOW the person is here illegally, they just have to think they might be. If you’re so worried about taxes and whatever other bullshit you’re using to excuse being a racist dick, make everyone go through the proper process without forcing anyone out. It’s not like they’re actually harming anyone. And don’t give me the “deporting criminals” bs, it’s just that
see i get that. inflation is fucked. no one can afford anything. but that doesn’t mean we need ice to illegally detain people. we don’t need them raiding elementary school graduations. we don’t need the national guard sent to worsen those tensions and cause outbursts. we don’t need to send them to camps in el salvador. there are ethical ways to do this and none of those are being done. where was this energy when the fucking capitol was stormed?
So what do you propose our taxes should be spent on to help our people? Food programs for people in need? Housing programs? Universal healthcare? Republicans and even democrats hate all of these ideas so what is your way of actually making it better for “our” people since that is what you want so bad?
I agree that ICE is stepping out of line with a lot of this, however, what dangers are Mexicans facing? Many of them and other Latin migrants are committing crimes and are flooding into working class communities and terrorizing them. Only privileged liberals like Rachel Maddow who live in high rise, fancy buildings are in favor of this behavior. Just look at NYC and the woman who was set on fire while sleeping on the train by a Haitian migrant.
Oh man, some of them commit crimes? It’s almost like that could apply to almost every single demographic you could think of. A person’s race does not influence their likelihood to commit a crime. People in general do shitty thing, people in general partake in criminal acts every single day. Don’t use that as an excuse to fucking deport people
Nah I ain’t sweating shit, but I know you’re pressed and seething inside. It’s all good tho, you can lift alone while I run through some of these left-leaning women on hinge. What’s great is that they’ll hookup with guys like me and then settle for nice boys like you for marriage
That’s genuinely so hilarious you’d use that as a tool for argument. She literally put African Americans behind bars for her own political gain and failed greatly to amend her past wrongdoings while in a position of power. On the other hand she received votes strictly due to the motivation for persons of color to take office with the added bonus of being a female leading people to blindly support her due strictly to those aspects of herself(along with just being uneducated sheep in politics)
As a person that hates Trump Kamala’s incompetence is the reason Trump won. She knew she was losing at every turn in the polls and she still chose to move further and further right wing and it continually failed. She tried to get the illusive war criminal dick Cheney voter and that’s the reason she lost. America is doomed to be a country of the far right until liberals are able to understand this. Same goes for Biden and Hillary’s unpopularity directly leading to trumps victories
Do you realize why they’re going to the right? Because those are the only people voting. Your solution is to refuse to vote for anyone that isn’t a certain amount left and then get surprised when the far right candidate wins and Overton window shifts further over. And she is objectively the most qualified candidate in that election
The use of the word “citizen” was a mistake on my part for not double checking what I wrote before posting a public comment for whatever reason. Anyways that’s just one example, what about the 19 year old who got deported for running a red light? Is that crime, that a good amount of Americans commit on the daily (at least in the south), worth someone getting deported for? How do u justify the current ice raids as anything other than authoritarianism?
Are u saying there’s no issue with the governments immigration process? second of all, I think most people would like the government to focus on the American citizens for once and have the country’s resources used to better OUR lives instead of frankly not necessary ways of dehumanizing ppl of other countries. Also if that was the case why are the same people saying things like that spreading hate towards the “immigrants we benefit from” such as highly qualified Asian immigrants?
You voted for this? To tear communities apart and call it 'safety'? Say 'gangs' all you want, but we both know that's just your racist code for poor colored people. When those people are gone, who is gonna do the work immigrants do? Sure as hell not you. You wouldn't last a damn day doing what they do — in the fields, the kitchens, the construction sites. If we’re talking about “criminals” you got one in office, he’s the perfect example of one.
Hell yea I voted for the deportation of people who are here ILLEGALLY. I’m totally fine with Legal immigrants and seasonal workers. But if the first thing you do in my country is commit a felony, you don’t deserve to be here. Any other country enforces their borders and immigration. Why shouldn’t we?
LMAOOO you’re hilarious. Don’t come here talking about “criminals” when the person in office has committed more felonies than any other person and let’s not forget that he’s a 🍇ist too. You’re just mad that those “illegals” will be EVERYTHING you can’t be with less resources because they know how to hustle. If you don’t hustle, that’s on you but don’t blame others why you’re behind in life.
And see that right there is the root of the problem. That’s a cynical, jaded way to view the world. Empathy isn’t how you get taken advantage of lmao. It’s how you work to help others not as well off as yourself. It’s trying to understand that while things might not affect you directly, they still affect others. Just bc it doesn’t do anything to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter
At this point you’re just scared to admit that you were wrong and that’s why you’re still in support of this. But let me tell you something no matter how many times the government and people like you want to kick us out WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. We are all on stolen land so don’t act like this is yours because it’s not.
Private property, but the signs aren’t actually making a legal argument they’re an appeal to logic and reason. We came here illegally at first and took everything over, then block everyone else from coming in and do not listen to their pleas, stories, or circumstances. Humans are desperate creatures, and when your family is at stake im sure nearly every human being would break a law or a dozen to protect their family and what they love if it meant crossing the border.
because you’ve clearly missed the whole point of immigration in the first place. it’s not to solve the issues of the third world, it’s to benefit from it. so yea i’m not gonna hate the immigrants that are making me richer, but the ones that are taking my tax dollars (welfare) when they should only be here to benefit me, the citizen, and the ones that are committing crimes. and that goes regardless of race.
Just a genuinely evil and selfish world view. These people are running from horrible living conditions trying to give their kids a better life and your trying to make sure it benefits you? If you truly cared about saving tax dollars then support cutting the military budget which is bigger then the next 10 biggest countries combined. If some of my tax dollars go to a poor family trying to have a better life I’m happy about that it’s definitely better then other places out tax dollars go to.
it’s not an evil and selfish world view, it’s why immigration exists in the first place, so that ur country benefits from it. you can’t possibly solve all the problems of the third world, nor it is america’s job to do that. there are like 5 billion people in the world that live beneath the poverty line, you think it’s possible to take them all in? it’s not, nor should we go out of our way to solve other countries issues when we got our own problems here, such as homeless veterans.
yk when u call everyone racist out of pettiness cause you don’t have a rebuttal it kind of removes the meaning from the word. i didn’t even mention anything about anyone’s race, if anything i stated multiple times that my opinions go to everyone regardless of race, but your response when you don’t got nothing else to say is that i’m racist. way to convince someone that your arguments are based on emotions and not on facts, hence plain admitting to losing an argument and being unwilling to learn.
those people that are veterans are the reason why u live in such a free country. ever heard of “freedom ain’t free” ? it’s true, i suggest u look into it. and yes i will gladly support those who left our country and served, and are still out there and serving, over someone who doesn’t give a damn about this country and is out there rioting, vandalizing property, ruining our cities, burning cars, sabotaging local businesses, and many more things that you refuse to see. common sense has left u …
did you even read what i said? they were peaceful until for example rubber bullets were shot at an australian reporter. which btw they’re also using rubber bullets incorrectly. you’re supposed to shoot them at the ground so they ricochet to hit the knees and knock someone off of their feet. look away from Fox and CNN. there is lots of footage where protests in LA are peaceful. they’re not all violent
