    Don’t care. Name and shame every one of these people following illegal orders, at the very least.

    Looking at traffic and road closures on Maps, 2000 NG are mobilized to watch a few miles of freeway going into the city. The protests are only blocking one side of the freeway and anyone can leave. What a massive over reaction.

    And those troops are sleeping on floors and have no bathrooms. Imagine having to crush the liberty of your fellow neighbor while being unable to take a shit in a toilet.

    Salute them for their service.

    Third Amendment

    No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

        He already did back in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Although I don’t think the National Guard was federalized at the time so maybe that doesn’t count.

      To be fair, asking for civilians to help place them isn’t a Constitutional violation, forcing them to do so is.

      Either way it’s ridiculous and already well past the line of bullshit, bit that wouldn’t be a crime at all.

      It’s very easy to just tell them to get a hotel and they’ll be reimbursed or just bulk order all the rooms in a couple hotels. The national guard troops along the border in their pretend mission do that, they all just stay at a hotel.

        Multiple hotels have yold them to go fuck themselves.

        I imagine they all have some idea what the people of the city will do to them if they quarter the enemy.

      This is not only incorrect, it is just plain unfair…
      They are supposed to shoot TV reporters too. And, well, anybody really. Not just protesters.

    I remember seeing a similar photo/story of the CBP reinforcements deployed to Portland OR back during the height of the BLM protests.

      Yeah this isn’t that bad. When I was in the Marines you catch sleep where ever or when ever you can. I’ve slept on so many different floors and types of ground. You get used to it honestly.

    As much as I don’t care for Newsom, he’s playing this well. Using the photos of the guys piled on each other in some classroom to call out Trump directly.

    Political affiliations don’t matter here; Americans like soldiers. Especially older people, they get livid seeing our soldiers get treated like shit.

    When do we get to the point where our military says NO WE WILL NOT??? Can it be now please?

    Any military that are actively down there in CA are dishonoring our country. Disgraceful! What is more important — doing what is right and standing up to dictatorship as the constitution says you should, or sucking an old fucks crusty dick???

      When a general decides to say so. The soldiers at the bottom of the ladder have free thought drilled out of them during basic. They’ve proven time and time again that they’ll follow illegal orders (just look at the war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan). Do not trust people in the armed forces to be good people.

    If there is at least one national guard who has family in the LA area, you are acting hostile to a fellow guards family. The president of the United States doesn’t give a fuck about you, or your brothers or their family. Do the right thing.
