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

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.

Because the mayors have been inadequate to get crime under control in their cities.

The Mayor and Chief of Police are quite capable of handling the LOW crime rate in D.C.

Other than the GOP, crime in DC has already gone down.

Once again the president is fabricating an emergency to expand his power when all evidence point to the contrary. D.C. is at its lowest crime rate in 30 years there is no emergency that warrants the mobilization of the national guard.

It's just one more step toward martial law and autocracy. Elections and democracy may be a thing of the past here in America.

Another distraction from the Epstein files. Release the files. DC crime rate at a 30 year low. What happened on Jan6 when tRump said he didn’t have the authority to call in the National Guard and blamed the Dems? No peace for tRump until he releases the files.

This is an escalation of implementing Project 2025... start taking over the blue cities and turn them into police states.

DC doesn't need or want intervention. We are not Russia, China, or North Korea. We don't want a heartless dictator or king. Our nation should truly be the land of opportunity.

He is criminalizing homelessness, which should not be a crime. This is the move of an authoritarian wannabe dictator. American military are not and should not be a police force. This is a half-step from groups like the Gestapo and brown shirts.

No need for them, crime is down in DC and homeless is not hurting nobody. He didn't do this when his fan base was wrecking the capitol

Crime is down for those who need crime to be down. Crime is up for those who need crime to be up. Find a different argument.

President Trump should be supporting local enforcement, not using the national guard to give out parking tickets.
