Why are the marines any different than any other branch of service that gets deployed in U.S. As a veteran- I have been deployed for things in U.S. over the years- it’s not just for protecting us in foreign countries Our oath of office says we will protect foreign and domestic

Maxine Waters face alone should be a warning to the world that a darwinian subspecies has overtaken southern California

What do you do when a foreign body rises up on American soil. You make an example out of it. Never understood the waving of other countries flags in these situations. They are sending you back to the country you are so proud of. Im hoping they're treated like armed combatants.

Because someone needs to help cause obviously the government in California don't care . The president is doing all that he can to help . I say if ur illegal you need to leave either willingly or by forcing.

This is an insurrection, with guns and devastating fires. They should all be arrested and treated with same due process as the Jan 6th people.

Yes, considering the democrat insurectionists in Los Angeles and other cities are wreaking havoc and a threat to public safety.

Would you be saying the same thing if Biden had deployed the Marines on Jan 6th? Even the National Guard seems a little over the top, but Newsom is 100% responsible for the chaos. He needs to be held accountable for not supporting ICE and the arrests of the criminals that broke into our country.

Newsom, Bass and Waters can't handle the situation. I believe the Marines should be a last resort but certainly an option on the table.

This is not an insurrection! The police set their own car on fire from what I heard. These protests were peaceful for the most part until Felon47 got involved. They did cause a lot of damage with the graffiti, but no one was injure bc of it. Maybe Felon47 should have sent 700 Maries like your post o

Why don't you look up the definition of Insurrection before posting? It's a protest in a small area of LA. The simpleton-in-chief is trying to blow things out of proportion in order to try to expand presidential powers. He's the true threat to this country.

You heard they destroyed their own police cars. I would suggest you change the place where you get your lies from. They burned they're own cars. Wow. TDS is real.

This is not what the Marines are trained for. Any incidents will diminish trust in the US military forces. I'd rather see additional law enforcement brought in than military.

These are not our people. Our people do not throw rocks at our Police. They are the enemy. Our military protects against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I am a veteran. I've taken that Oath.

Not that it may not be warranted, but sets a bad precedence when, not if, a real socialist tricks his/her way into the power and justifies deploying our military against her citizens to 'keep the peace'. I voted for Trump, but lets call 'balls and strikes', he does not get a pass for this behavior.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....
