So, what does Trump mean by the US military using US cities as "training grounds"?

[lightbulb27]

we could use some in our state, but preferably the national guard, to bring about law and order which has been violated for the prior years. police are unable to manage some issues.

who knows... it's not clear. it's not idea, but some issues in cities have gone on so long they seem normal. 20 people being shot on a weekend in chicago is messed up but goes on forever. he's trying to put a stop to it... is my guess.

[loveslongnails]

The military needs training grounds? They're already trained, you idiot. He means that wants the US military doing bad shit to American citizens who disagree with Project 2025 taking over the USA and making it a fascist country.

It's up to the military to remember who and what they swore an oath to defend - also known as The Constitution, not a dick-tater.

[Anonymous]

The obese orange blob of a draftdodger thinks... nevermind, I stopped there. He has no reason to be giving opinions about the military. The silence he walked into was awesome.

[Anonymous]

Does anything this admin says or does make sense? It didn't seem to to the military either.

[Opinion Owner]

Hopefully they took it as rounding up Maga and putting them in concentration camps.

[Anonymous]

On the job training, learn how to suppress and strong arm the population of this country including political opponents. Turn the military into a political army to keep Trump in power. Now the threat to Trump/ country is home grown. Very similar to Hitler with the SA and later SS/ SD / Gestapo.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Training grounds for the Fascist takeover of the U. S. Government he and the other bozos shut down this morning.

[exitseven]

The military is suppling support for ICE agents and helping restore law and order to our crime ridden cities. Some of the cities are more dangerous than Beirut.

[Danzigdawson]

Yeah, because of ICE and trump's military takeover.

[Asker]

Clearly, you don't get out much...

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson President Trump has a lot of illegals to deport and not a lot of time. If a few people have their feelings hurt it is nothing compared to all the families who have lost loved ones because they were killed by illegal aliens.

[Asker]

"Feelings hurt"? We're talking about unleashing the military on the civilian population treating people like enemy combatants... shoot to kill on sight based on "declaring war." It's quite Trump isn't interested in funding local police. It makes sense if you're interested in centralizing power in the POTUS since the military must obey the orders of the CINC. Police officers aren't required to do that. As Trump keeps sending the military to US cities, I wonder how the election results will be affected in November? 🤔🤔🤔

[Danzigdawson]

What about the families of all of those who were killed in school or mass shooting by some far-right nutjob?

[exitseven]

20 million illegal aliens is called an invasion. to fight an invasion you use the military.

[Danzigdawson]

As a people who invaded this land, took it as your own and raped, murdered and otherwise killed its original inhabitants to near-extinction, I'd shut the fuck up a little more about "invasion" and "illegal aliens". You've been here 400 years at the most. They had already been living here for millenia when Julius Ceasar was assassinated, more than 2000 years ago, when britain was just a loose collection of tribes.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson to the Victor go the spoils.

[Danzigdawson]

No 'victory' involved here, dumbshit.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Who is running this country?

[Danzigdawson]

Currently: a fascist regime led by trump, christian nationalists and white supremacists. That's why it's such a shithole.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson I feel like every day America gets a little better.

[Danzigdawson]

I guess that one would be likely to feel that way during a meth high, if you've just started doing it to cope with the depressing reality and you being wrong on every issue all the time.

You can't escape reality by taking drugs.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Anyone that knows me knows I do not use my brain as a garbage dump.

[Danzigdawson]

That's can't be true, since your brain is basically an overflowing landfill of MAGA sewage. Be careful about the physical and psychological effects:

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson I back thr President. History will say he was thr best President in thr last 100 years.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven He is constantly rated by scholars as one of the worst president ever —usually the very worst— and there is currently no way that would change.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Ask small business owners, first responders, military, tradesmen and families who had family members killed by illegal aliens. then get back to me.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Even better: ask small business owners, first responders, military, tradesmen and families who had family members killed by americans born and raised, then get back to me.

America has never been in need of outside help when it comes to generating criminals and criminality — except, of course, when a scapegoat is needed.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson President Trump is the law and order president that backs the police. the democrats are the defund teh police, no cash bail party. who do you think Americans prefer?

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Democrats. trump was elected only because a reasonable amount of undecided voters bought the "bad economy under Biden" lie and actually believed that trump would "fix it".

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson The economy was in the dumpster when Biden was president. ter press provided cover for the weekly inflation that we all saw with our own eyes and seeing our investment accounts take a nosedive month after month.
Gas is the cheapest it has been in four years when it was over 5 bucks a gallon and trending downwards. Inflation is a manageable 2.9% , down from 9% when Biden was president. The target is 2% and it is very attainable with Trump;s pro business policies.
Voters were sick of seeing their retirement plans get flushed down the toilet just so was can play host to 20 million illegal aliens.
The American people (well, a little more than half of them anyway) were not stupid enough to believe the fake news when the truth was right in front of their eyes.

[Agape93]

Killing anyone against him publicly.

[DrPepper12]

Exactly what he said. Live targets. US civilians.

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 Just people that try to run over ICE agents with their cars.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven they'd be right to do so. They're basically government-tolerated kidnappers.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Democrats will not be happy until somebody gets killed. That woman that tried to run down agents with her car is lucky to be alive.
They need to understand that the American people have given President Trump a mandate to deport all 20 million illegal aliens. They need to understand that this will happen and it could be dangerous to get in the way.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven They have no authority. They're proud boys in amazon uniforms. Check out this video: after an highly illegal type of arrest, piece of shit "agents" laughs about how "they're starting to resist more now" and how they'll eventually have to "end up shooting them soon".

I'm telling you: if they start "shooting them", they instantly become fair game, end of story. Fuck 'em and fuck their lives.

https://youtu.be/nX7I4znDOKk?si=O-va8hKuN6eQgD__

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson They are duly authorized to arrest people that do not belong in this country and hold them over for deportation. Calling them proud boys just show your ignorance. And they are going to fair game for who?

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven They're not in any way authorized to do so and they know it, you asshole. You can't arrest, jail and/or deport anyone without due process.

You want to do it? You can't. The laws of the US won't allow it.

You want to do it anyway? Alright, but you're breaking the law in a way that's even worse than crossing a border illegally. It's a violation of basic human rights.

"Yeah, well trump has to deport them and he has got limited time".

No, he doesn't have to and so what? If he's got "limited time", that's because I know, you know and he knows that it's illegal. He knows that no other administration than his own would proceed with such a disregard for the laws and the constitution of the US.

These "agents" are criminals in the eyes of the law. Their only authority comes from trump and his stooges, who are knowningly ignoring both law and constitution.

You don't care about any of that and think that trump and his snivelling lap dogs (such as yourself) should be allowed to jail, deport, arrest or even kill whomever the fuck they want if it serves their goals?

Well, we don't call you fascists for no reason.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Anyone who is in the country without authorization is subject to arrest.

Reasons for an immigration arrest:
Illegal entry or re-entry: Entering the U. S. without authorization or re-entering after being deported is a criminal offense.

Visa violations: Overstaying a visa or violating its conditions (e. g., working on a non-work visa) can lead to removal proceedings and arrest.

Criminal convictions: Convictions for certain crimes, such as driving under the influence, drug possession, theft, or violent crimes, can make a person subject to arrest and removal.

Public safety or national security threats: ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of individuals who pose a threat to public safety or national security.

Warrantless arrest circumstances: An immigration officer can arrest someone without a warrant if they have reasonable suspicion that the person is violating U. S. immigration law and is likely to escape before an arrest warrant can be secured.

[DrPepper12]

These discord cosplay marines have no business being Leo's

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Exactly, dipshit. Agents can arrest people without a warrant, but the same law also assume that the goal of the unwarranted arrest is some sort of urgency that, agents —who are here presumed to be unbiased, morally sound and dispassionate— judge to be serious enough to bypass normal procedures.

These laws assume agents to be motivated by reason and public safety.

ICE agents under trump are not. They answer to trump and his stooges's mass deportation extravaganza, which is in itself most certainly illegal. They don't answer to the constitution or the US justice system. They wilfully and knowingly abuse the notion of "reasonable suspicion", because they know that it's vague enough to make any arrest by a law enforcement officer technically "legal".

Their arrests are rarely "legal" and the lack of due process when it comes to detainment and deportion certainly isn't.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson the urgency is that if they are not arrested they may get away. It is at the discretion of the ICE agent.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Exactly. It's at the discretion of the ICE agent.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson All perfectly legal, not like the way most of them got here in the first place.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Technically "yes", but in the end, no. They're abusing a power that's been granted illegally by trump and exploiting the vagueness of the law. ICE agents who willingly participate are fucking criminals and one day they will be arrested and tried for what they are doing.

It won't be the first time trump drags people down with him. Helping a fascist regime will never be without serious consequences.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson if they would not resist arrest they would not need a beat down They got to live large on Anerican taxpayers for 4 years. They should look at it as a big win and go back where they came from.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven "live large" 😅 Oh yeah, sure.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson Staying in a hotel, with "Culturally Appropriate" catered meals. Free healthcare and free dental care, free legal services and as an added bonus an EBT card for miscellaneous expenses.
nypost.com/.../
This is one of 700 of these fine "newcomers" that were brought here and forced the local government to spend money for police and fire coverage and the schools had to hire ESL teachers from an already overstretched budget. Similar situations have gone on all across the country. It is a daunting task for the Trump administration to locate, arrest, process and deport 20 million of them. However, in the long run it will be cost effective.
nypost.com/.../

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Oh, I'm sure you'll save a lot of money if you stop providing riches beyond belief and 5 star hotels to that royalty who are treated better than americans 😄🖕

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Dumbass.

[exitseven]

@Danzigdawson that is just a big lie. The illegal aliens that Biden recruited are indigent, uneducated and impoverished. If they work at all it is low wage jobs and usually do not make enough to pay taxes. They are not sending their most talented people.

[Danzigdawson]

@exitseven Oh it's all a big lie, huh? Prove it. Do some research for once.

[Anonymous]

ANTIFA thought celebrating Charlie Kirk's death was funny and now they're shitting their pants

[Asker]

"ANTIFA" is not a group. Who are their leaders? Anyone who is opposed to Trump? I guess you think the military should kill anyone who is a protestor or dares to have a different opinion. Seik heil!!!

[Opinion Owner]

not a group? how hard do you wanna gaslight me? their leaders are hiding like cowards right now

[Asker]

WTF? What are you smoking? So, the military will flush these "leaders" out of hiding and execute them on the spot because a the Congress has issued a formal declaration of war? Are these the same people who are protesting against Trump or don't agree with his policies?

[Opinion Owner]

are you one these leaders? are you afraid to face the consequences of attacking ICE?

[Asker]

No, are you a Nazi sympathizer or white supremacists? "Attacking ICE" is just an excuse to crush any opposition to Trump and his policies. Hitler had the same playbook...

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not even white you doofus

ANTIFA is attacking ICE and obstructing law enforcement which is a crime

not break laws and cry victim later when you have to deal with the consequences of your actions

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

They’re gonna kill people lol

[seeyounexttuesday]

The military conducts exercises in cities and towns all the time.

[Asker]

Not the same and you know it! This is about targeting civilians who are against the regime while talking about "crushing violent crime"... oldest trick in the book... no discussion about funding or strengthening local police departments. Doing so would obviously prevent the centralizing of power with the Fuhrer.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Except for the residents of DC are thankful that they can walk home from work without getting attacked. The dem mayors are failures.

[Asker]

Crime rate was already coming down. Trump is setting the stage for using the military to crush opposition... just like he tried with the media... FCC Chair Brendan Carr: "We can do this the hard way, or the easy way." Seik heil!!!

[seeyounexttuesday]

Crime rate is coming down because they're fudging the #s. And your pussy conspiracy theories have been already debunked. Remember you thought hegseths' meeting was to impose martial law.

[BarryLiverstone]

Because of the war within.


Is that all you needed to know?

[Asker]

Posse Comitatus Act

[BarryLiverstone]

Happy to educate you

[Asker]

Okay, it is clear that you do not know what this Act is all about. Who is he declaring war against? Will Congress issue a declaration of war? When was war ever declared by the US government against its own citizens?

[BarryLiverstone]

Against illegals

[BarryLiverstone]

Congress can’t , the gov is shut down

[Asker]

So, it's okay to use deadly force at will against enemy combatants who you describe as "illegals"? Are "illegals" a nation or government? For the record, Congress is not shut down! It's the agencies of the Executive branch that are shut down! Congress can meet anytime it wishes! Their budget is not affected by this! They are the ones that write the checks! The Executive branch gets funding from Congress!

[BarryLiverstone]

I didn’t describe them as illegals. POTUS did

[BarryLiverstone]

This was an easy question to answer, I’m surprised you didn’t know

[Asker]

You wrote "against illegals." The fact that the POTUS did doesn't make it legal or right either. Weren't you required to take Government or Civics class? I'm surprised that you don't know how your own Government works? Many of these "illegals," know more about how your Government works than you do. Oh, the irony... Your ignorance is not surprising... It's very common amongst MAGATS.

[BarryLiverstone]

You asked who the president was at war with and his answer is illegals in the USA. He’s said it repeatedly

[BarryLiverstone]

https://youtu.be/hbuJSBLhEus?si=263IaUa2CmVHAE_H

[Asker]

Yes, he did! And he's obviously an idiot to mention declaring "war" in that context... as though this group of people are a foreign power. Looking behind the curtain, this is about consolidating power. He has not mentioned anything about strengthening loca police... because they are not under his direct control!

[BarryLiverstone]

Most president want to consolidate power of course

[Asker]

Not for the purpose of an authoritarian takeover. Why would Trump spend $200 million dollars of PRIVATE funds for a WH ballroom that dwarfs the size of the ENTIRE WH if he's not thinking about staying in office after 2028? He's setting the stage to be backed by the military...

[BarryLiverstone]

Clearly he wants to rule
