The Trump administration reportedly plans to mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states in the coming weeks to support its immigration and anti-crime crackdowns, a dramatic expansion of the controversial operation that’s seen federal agents and Guard troops carrying out activities across Washington, D.C.
The troops, who will largely be activated across Republican-controlled states, will serve in support of the administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, as well as other law enforcement priorities, according to comment from unnamed Pentagon officials and documents obtained by Fox News.
Oh, fuck off with that “both sides” bullshit. Of fucking course there are things that Democratic and Republican politicians have in common, but we can’t fucking talk about it without some wise-ass pulling this thought terminating garbage.
For the record, I never even said they did anything the same. They have different roles in the same dance, and that dance brought us closer to the cliffs edge with every repetition.
lololol….
If you read my whole comment I’ve already answered that. Being part of the same dynamic doesn’t mean you are doing the same thing. It’s not that hard a concept to understand.
I believe in you.
Of course it’s not a hard concept to understand- which is why I was so easily able to point out the ridiculous notion that you’re somehow not trying to say that both sides are the same.
It’s pretty plain as day.
A man beats his wife on the regular. Cops get called, wife lies and defends husband, cops go away. Rinse and repeat until the wife is dead. They both contributed to that outcome. They both danced the dance at the cliff’s edge until the inevitable happened. Am I saying they are both the same? Hell no. The guy is a monster. That doesn’t mean the wife didn’t contribute to that outcome.
lol! What a shitty analogy. So in your world, Democrats are victims, and yet equally to blame?
Dude. They’re not even remotely the same. Just stop.
Fucking a, you really don’t get analogies. I’m explaining how two people (or groups) can contribute to the same predictable outcome in totally different ways.
No kidding. I still haven’t said they are.
No, in this case we are the victims. Let me set aside analogies since you can’t seem to handle the fact that that they are never 100% applicable to every aspect of anything.
The Democratic consultants who lost to Trump in 2024 are the same consultants who lost to Trump in 2016. What organization rewards that level of failure with another shot? The party itself is almost entirely identical to the party of 2016 because the Democrats learned nothing. Kamala’s campaign could have been swapped with Hilary’s campaign and nobody would have noticed. Even now the Democrats are shaking up nothing. The postmortem they did of the Harris campaign excluded pretty much everything the campaign actually did. Democrats in general, voters included, want to get past Trump then go right back to being the loser party they have been for decades. It’s pathological, and it’s just going to bring us to Trump v2. (Being optimistic that we ever see a real election again.)
