‘It’s time to wake up’: Padilla recounts being handcuffed at Noem briefing in emotional speech California senator details being restrained and warns of how democratic norms can slip away when power is unchecked Padilla indicates when he heard Noem was down the hall he asked a Guardsman and and FBI agent, in the room where he was waiting for a briefing, about going down to her presser. THEY ESCORTED HIM AND STOOD NEXT TO HIM AT THE PRESS CONFERENCE.
I'm not advocating or defending here, but there is some distinction where we are talking about a [due] process where a person is being evaluated for a benefit vs an excuse for sidestepping a process.
I’m not sure how this changes the fact that once Padilla was led to the room he began interrupting, being disruptive, and got physical with agents once he refused to comply and was asked to leave because he couldn’t contain himself. No one would have cared if he just stood in the back and listened. But the publicity stunt worked and he got the viral moment he wanted. Had a nice little press conference ready to go after he was led out of the building.
Story from a week ago from the military news site, Task and Purpose. Marines have not finished nonlethal training for LA mission Yikes: The roughly 700 Marines recently ordered to deploy to Los Angeles have not yet completed training on less-than-lethal weapons and training on the Standing Rules for Use of Force, which governs the use of force for military personnel within the United States, said a spokesperson for U.S. Northern Command, or NORTHCOM. It is not yet clear when the Marines will complete the training, or when they will join NORTHCOM’s Task Force 51, which is overseeing U.S. troops responding to the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles, the spokesperson said. When U.S. troops operate domestically, they are bound by the Standing Rules for the Use of Force — which are more restrictive than wartime rules of engagement — and they must follow the same law and rules under the 4th Amendment as police, said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham, a former military attorney. So, another typical Trump administration ******** up.
I am late but @Potowmack is not a 100% wrong @charlie15 @Cascarino's Pizzeria . Because when Dems have Congress it is always the GOP voting no and then some weak willed Dem like a Lieberman or Sinema or Manchin and now Fetterman that loses his nerve. There is always some blue dog that draws a line and the party leadership never threatened scorched earth to bring them in line. Republicans are part of the problem, some Democrats are too.
I'm not military, but apart from MPs it seems like Marines would be the last branch to be used domestically, based in their typical mission profile... oh wait...
Nor am I, but I know a lot of former marines and am the uncle of a current marine. This isn't the kind of mission you want them on. Now, island hopping from Guadalcanal to Okinawa during WWII.... That's totally their thing. Which is why they should never be deployed domestically, period.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Marine leadership is slow-walking this training. I doubt they have much interest in this mission.
Harris literally got 1% from Dems in the previous primary and was the first one to drop out. To say she was a terrible candidate is not some major leap. D voters affirmed this. I don’t think D voters are racist, they just think she sucks.
It rather reminds me of the 'Death on the rock' incident many years back when Thatcher tried to pretend that the SAS went to Gibraltar to arrest IRA terrorists... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_on_the_Rock The point is the SAS are elite special forces. They're not policemen. If you want someone killing, them's yer guys but you don't send them to arrest someone for parking on a double yellow line.
Is your software glitching? This post has literally nothing to do with the thread topic or any conversation going on.
Look who can't get past 2020 and continues to demonize Democrats as they're getting shot. BOTHSIDES DO THIS!
I doubt that it is. I think the White House wants them to shoot somebody, hopes they will. They want to either intimidate all opposition, or set off violent opposition so that they can declare insurrection and/or martial law.
Get Hegseth a diaper. His ass has to be bleeding https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lrve3aism42g
Let's just thank every God out there, that Hegseth is so lazy. Think of him not only stupid and incompetent but also actually hardworking. Terrifying perspective
The hope of this republic is based on the stunningly incompetent people Trump continues to surround himself with.
