G, I have no clue what you're talking about. Nothing like that has happened

I've come to understand that MAGA has no idea how the United States works, they think that the President is the King and everyone else are his minions. But that's not how it works. The governor has control of his or her own state, as well as the National Guard. If a problem is getting out of hand then the governor can mobilize the National Guard, and if it's still out of hand then he or she can ask the federal government for help.

Trump has no legal right to steal the National Guard from the governor, or to intervene in the state in any way.

And all of you self-proclaimed "conservatives" should be angry that Trump has illegally spent YOUR money to "solve" a problem in California when his help was never requested... in fact, it was flat refused.

YOUR money should not be spent on policing California.

So Anti tells us about your experiences when you were surrounded and all **** is coming down on you. Moltov c*cktails, cinder blocks, fireworks, liquids and whatever else and you have a search warrant signed by a federal judge and you call for assistance. Though there is a discrepancy about how long it takes but the police department tells you 39 minutes. Do you think that was an adequate response? The governor and the mayor actions speak for themselves. How much commerce did it cost from shutting down the freeway? What was the cost of vandalism? Looting? Destruction of property? What about the safety of the other citizens because officers tied up with the "peaceful" protest. There was no illegal military presence but what is the cost of illegal sanctuary cities. It is alleged there is 8000 confirmed terrorists in the US. If there is an incident, who will be responsible or who are you going to blame?

Anyone and I mean anyone that calls those protest peaceful is either blind or to **** stupid to know the difference. Burning cars bursting windshields, robbing from businesses and distroying peoples way of making a peaceful living and stupid s call this peaceful. Someone needs to burn their cars and breaks the windows in your house and then steal your property and then call that peaceful and by all means don't call law inforcement because it was peaceful and they was having fun even if it breaks your bank account. s

I agree Trump should pull all troops from California . California is extremely well equipped to take care of themselves. Trump should executive order California a sanctuary state funded by California taxpayers of course.

The ultimate cost of Biden's immigration policies, often referred to as an "illegal alien invasion," is projected to be in the billions of dollars, impacting federal, state, and local budgets due to increased spending on public services, law enforcement, and healthcare for undocumented immigrants. This situation has raised concerns about national security and public safety, as well as the financial burden on taxpayers.

Google AI wouldn't answer the question... lol

Even though the Governor demanded to be left alone, Trump still federalized the National Guard and enlisted the Marines to invade the state. The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether this was illegal.

It is also reported to be escalation the peaceful protests... obviously, the military attacks people, and they fight back.

Regardless, the Pentagon said that this move will cost us about $134 million, and growing...
