WSJ: Hegseth orders National Guard to focus on Internal Suppression missions

It's good news for me.

It isn't an "exchange" you lunatic. Treating domestic cities as occupied territory shouldn't be acceptable, full stop.

you're certainly willing to imagine them to justify the soldiers presence though.

you want a third option to reduce crime? start with affordable housing and healthcare, then ensure the basic necessities of life.

No! We can't do that! Because then people would be lazy!

Laziness is bad because people don't deserve to live unless they do stuff for people with money. What's the point of having money if I can't make people work their asses off and then tell them I'm only going to pay them enough to meet some of their basic needs because they didn't work hard enough to get all their needs met?

This isn't slavery, because, reasons.

Is it?





It would appear this election is more consequential for Republicans than you woukd like to believe.
And your anecdotal evidence does not seem to match reality.

That is in no way proof of your bullshit claim.

Okay.
So you don't know how English works.
That explains so much.

Decent people don't need a reward for acting right.

I understand that "what is your answer" is completely fucking different from "I want soldiers in the street," you greasy little bad-faith douche geyser.

Either
A) You're an idiot who doesn't understand rhetoric or
B) You think everyone else is dumber than you and won't be on to what you're saying.

Treating them as playgrounds for violent degenerate fucksticks is EQUALLY unacceptable. People should not have to put up with that.

And no, there is NO excusing it. I don't care if you're big mad that your illegal cousin got deported or you can't sell your EBT card for drugs and cosmetics, you do not get to act that way in civilization.

Lie some more, douchebag. The concept of rhetoric is not a license to deliberately misrepresent what was said.

Yes, it's a binary choice between naked authoritarianism and an exaggerated right-wing media cartoon of reality.
You fucksticks!
I'm the reasonable one here!

My specific reply to that idiotic shoplifting comment was
"My answer...for shoplifting?
Okay. You are clearly a psychopath. I'm not sure why you think armed military patrols is the answer."
And you never reasponded.
Perhaps now you'd like to explain why you think armed military patrols is an appropriate response to shoplifting.
Go ahead. This should be very entertaining.

Remember the episode of Netflix Punisher where he nabbed a guy stealing bread for his family, and stuffed his gun up the dude's asshole, and fired until the shots came out his mouth, and everyone at the Wal-Mart cheered?
No? Don't worry, Stephen Miller will AI it.

Trump has relied upon the slowness of the courts his entire adult life. So what if there’s a judgment against you after years of appeals? Just keep appealing or ignore the ruling altogether.

Deploying troops to US cities during peace time is another example. Despite knowing it’s barred by the Insurrection Act and the Posse Comitatus Act, Trump will appeal and appeal while continuing to engage in the illegal behavior. That is an inherent flaw of the court system.

You might post this third option you have in mind, if you wanted to contribute.

Oh, look, he's a Junior Mod now!
Did Tamar's ghost knight you in a dream?

Just a suggestion. I'm not the one who wants to ban people over forbidden words.

And those would be?
Give me a list.

I'm shocked that he doesn't want to answer.

see, when you start from a well poisoning falsehood like "playgrounds for violent degenerate fucksticks" so consistently for so long, then ain't anyone gonna take you seriously.

From what I can see your experience with urban living and conditions amounts to having gone to a Nugent concert in Indianapolis back in 2015.

no... you just want to ban books.

Favored, sure, but the Virginia governor's race was a party flip.

And the swing is also worth paying attention to. Yes, these things are messy because there are so many variables. But Mikie Sherrill won by 13 points against the same Republican (removing one of the biggest variables) that Phil Murphy only beat by 3 points in 2021.

I'm pleased to see Paladin has recovered to the point he now correctly identifies electing a Republican governor as "perilous".

Respond to what? I never said to send in the national guard for anything, nor did I say anything about merely shoplifting. Your constant lies and distortions aren't a great motivation to engage.

Then stop advocating for adjusting the whole of society around people who prove they are either unwilling or unable to function peacefully within it.

Because I don't look at it through the same coddling beer goggles as you, I must have no experience. I haven't lived in the city since fucking 1995. Haven't traveled to half a continent's cities and seen conditions firsthand. Nope, none of that stacks up against YOUR profound fucking wisdom.

Retail theft is shoplifting, you mongoloid.
And there you are, plain as day, saying the National Guard has to come save me from shoplifters.

Never said it wasn't. But mass looting isn't merely shoplifting to any honest person.

No the fuck I did not, you lying piece of shit. Me saying "retail theft is a problem" says nothing about the solution, and me seperately saying "I do not want soldiers in the street" explicitly rules that out AS a solution. Quit chopping up posts with dishonest intent. You're not fooling anyone.
