It's genuinely fucking appalling that he goads members of the military into booing their former Commander in Chief. Staggering lack of professionalism from the troops and flagrant disrespect of our country and the oaths they swore
At Fort Bragg, Donald Trump crossed a dangerous line. Where are the generals who should be speaking up in defense of the military's rules and traditions, asks @RadioFreeTom? https://t.co/KTsij3448i
Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do.
President Trump would sound more credible in his commitment to law and order if he had taken action to restore law and order on January 6, 2021. #hypocrisy.
Let’s set the record straight.
I’m a Jew living in Metro Atlanta—a place where we know the difference between protest and persecution. And I’m telling you: Gavin Newsom is right. California didn’t have a militarized immigration crisis until you and Donald Trump decided to create one—because fear is all you have left.
You call immigrants “invaders” and protesters “insurrectionists.” That’s not immigration policy. That’s the language of authoritarianism. It’s how you turn neighbors into enemies. And as a Jew, I’m painfully aware of what happens when governments start sorting people into who belongs and who doesn’t.
You say California is a “balkanized society of strangers.” No—what terrifies you is that it’s a multiracial, multilingual democracy where people don’t need to fit your mold to deserve dignity. You want control, not safety. And you’d rather destroy democratic institutions than admit that.
Let’s talk about the fiction you’re selling. You and Trump keep pretending you’re riding some wave of public support. But Trump’s approval rating is underwater. The country’s exhausted by the chaos and cruelty. The fake profiles, bots, and trolls that flood your mentions with fire emojis don’t change reality. They just make it clearer how hollow your movement really is.
I live in Georgia. I saw real insurrection on January 6—Trump supporters waving his flag while attacking police and smearing feces in the Capitol. That wasn’t caused by immigrants. That was caused by lies—yours included.
So yes—rescind the order. Return control to California. I’ll take Gavin Newsom and immigrant communities fighting for a better life over a bitter ideologue who thinks compassion is weakness and cruelty is strategy.
Not a single true statement in the entire post
No invasion, no mobs, no incitement, police were present all weekend, ICE fired flash bang grenades and pepper spray first.
A few dozen assholes in a county of 10 million people caused chaos and violence, and were rightly arrested

Take it from me — the President's actions this week have been dangerous and disgraceful.
We trained and deployed to protect the American people — not to serve as pawns in Donald Trump's political agenda.
The American people and our military deserve better.
Remember that part in #Andor when all those reporters on Ghorman made it sound like the Ghormans were violent and the Empire HAD to send in soldiers to stop things from getting out of hand but in reality the soldiers WANTED things to get out of hand?
Yea, that was crazy huh?
Longtime Capitol Police officer says he's perplexed by the outrage over the presence of Mexican flags in Los Angeles protests
He tells @cbsnews - "They don't remember the Confederate flags on January 6?"
You voted for lower groceries and taxes… you didn’t get either.
But you do get military in your streets, infighting in the White House, exorbitant spending and manufactured chaos.

Trump is sending Troops into American streets not to protect people—but to provoke a crisis he can stomp out for show.
This isn’t strength. It’s authoritarianism in real time.
Dear @SecDef: Are you sure you even know where the Marines are coming from? Reports say they are from Twentynine Palms, not Camp Pendleton.
Do you know what Marines are trained to do? Kill the enemy. What are they supposed to do, shoot protesters?
You should resign.
