We will never see the true list. You know Trump, Clinton and the rest of the power elite are on that list. Trump has already been exposed to pay for sex, let's be honest about this. He's not a conservative, he's a plutocrat. He doesn't care about reducing the role of the federal government, he's using the federal government to line his and his friends pockets. Conservatives need to abandon the republican party and embrace the Libertarian party.

That is propaganda, not proof. The amount of incorrect information given is staggering. First, there is no federal law enforcement buildings in downtown LA. The only one is FBI headquarters, with is 15 miles west of there, and it's located in a very wealthy neighborhood called Brentwood. No way in hell they'd get within 100 feet of even farting towards that building. The one they are trying to claim is a federal law enforcement building, while is a federally owned building, is actually where USCIS has their offices and conducts AOS and other interviews there. Some of the retreating ICE agents might have ran to it, but vandalism is hardly destroying a building. As for the vehicles, those were LAPD and California Highway Patrol, not customs and border patrol vehicles that were destroyed. Again, this wouldn't have happened if ICE and Homeland Security followed the laws and civil procedure for immigration detainment and deportation. They like to claim that their detention subpoenas are tantamount to a criminal arrest and search subpoena, but they aren't. Follow the law, and like this is less likely to happen. Now, don't conflate my distaste for ICE tactics as supporting the riot/looters. This seems to happen in CA quite a bit. Whenever there is a large scale protest, bad actors use the protest as cover to destroy, loot, and cause mayhem. Those a-holes should be jailed. But the people running these ICE sanctioned kidnappings should be held accountable too.

You'd be surprised at how low the literacy rate is among the whole shipping/import/export industry. I work in supply chain logistics, for a major international company, and we struggled with hiring when we increased the education/testing requirements for employment. From longshoremen, drivers, dispatchers, and even sales and customs forwarders. Most of those jobs only require a high school diploma and a decent score on the application exam, but many get around that through union ties. About 12 years ago, our company was lobbying for the implementation of E-Verify, but almost every state that we have port access in wouldn't even hear it, Texas being the loudest no. I don't know why primarily red states will fight to the death to prevent E-Verify being implemented. They use the same clap trap excuse of it being bad for small business', but nobody buys that.

lol, can't back up your statement, so you fall back to pejorative platitudes.

Any proof of that? The only damage so far has been to private property, city, county and state property. Just because ICE is using the downtown civic center as a command center doesn't make it a federal asset, and vandalism is hardly threatening the integrity of a building.

Third Amendment of the Constitution, perhaps you should read it. The salient point here is that no federal assets have been destroyed. He sent ICE agents, who have gone beyond their authorized jurisdiction, breaking into homes with civil detention warrants, and treating them like criminal search warrants. They are not the same. Why do we even have laws if this administration is going to just walk all over laws and the constitution itself. California isn't going to vote for a republican, and the way things are going the midterms are going to be brutal for republicans. I'll still vote libertarian and waste my Nevada vote, but i'll at least have a clear conscious. Again, LAPD was deployed, and has handled it far better than the National Guard. Perhaps if ICE actually followed the laws and civil procedure that governs deportations and detentions this wouldn't have arisen. Noem is the incompetent one along with Homan. They are partisan sycophants hoping to get some of that Trump gravy train money being siphoned from the government.

There are specific parameters under which the President can unilaterally deploy the national guard, and none of those qualifiers have been met. There has been no damage or credible threats to federal assets, and neither the LA mayor nor the governor has requested the deployment. None of the requirements of the Insurrection Act have been met. Moreover, this was instigated by the federal government overstepping their authority of immigration detention warrants. LAPD has been deployed and is capable of handling this. There certainly was no need for the Marines to be deployed. As far as it is from meeting the standards to invoke the Insurrection act, they are even further from meeting the standard of the Posse Comitatus Act, hence why only a fraction have been deployed to a federal building away from downtown. I'm mostly surprised that this administration hasn't taken the opportunity to violate yet another constitutional right (3rd Amendment) seeing as they have already violated the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth Amendments. Maybe I'm just old, but I remember when republicans used to at least claim to be the party of the constitution, of smaller government presence, and states rights. I guess that only applies to states that bend the knee. Glad I voted for Gary Johnson and Chase Oliver, at least they adhere to actual conservative principles.

You have nobody to blame but Trump. Neither the mayor nor the governor requested their presence. Should have let California deal with their own problems. I'd rather my money stay spent in my own state of Nevada, but nonetheless federal tax money from Nevada will inevitably be used to fund this. Between this and Trump's vanity parade, this is going to be over $250m, and that is if none of the streets and infrastructure in D.C. is damaged.

I'm sure you can in an F-250. In all seriousness, an e-bike is far better than a moped or a motorized scooter. They accelerate faster, and you can easily make them even faster just by plugging it into your laptop with some free software and you can make them insanely fast for a couple hundred bucks with a bigger battery.

This guy is the Temu version of Trump. He was basically completely unknown before the election and during the election it came to light that he is a former (or not former) hooligan that participated in huge fights between polish football firms. Also various shady connections to polish gangsters and a huge scandal where media discovered he took over an apartment of a sick person stuck in a welfare house. He also signed a contract promising lifelong help and assistance to the guy, yet he abandoned him not long after taking over the flat. He also loaned a quite big sum of money on a huge interest rate to this person. Everyone expected these revelations to bury chances of winning but they actually changed nothing. His opponent is the current mayor of Warsaw who speaks several foreign languages and studied in France, yet he lost again to a complete outsider. Now various right wingers congratulate the victor, including Andrew Tate.

My wife has a tesla, so I was scratching my head at the linked article for a moment. Charging at home is more expensive than the superchargers. Even with that, it's about $15 per 100 miles (home charging), whereas my mustang is about $27 per 100 miles. But that is California, and I don't know the rates elsewhere. I do know that every time Texas has one of their grid meltdowns my cousin can't charge his car for a few weeks until electricity prices go down from the absurd rates. So I suppose in a state like Texas, who has a crumbling infrastructure and not exactly reliable energy grid (Except El Paso), it would be quite a bit more expensive charging at home.

For the context of this situation, incitement. At least that is what the prosecutors have charged him with.

They were on government business and required to use Trump properties. Auditors claim that he was using inflated rates, of course, Trump and his family claim otherwise, but the fact that he was using his properties for directed government business is a breach of the emoluments clause. Lucky for him, SCOTUS is stacked in his favor. They overturned a lower court ruling but refused to take the case up themselves. You know, discovery could get ugly in a case like that. Emoluments Charges for state dinner at Trump property Family given money from foreign powers Secret Service charged at least $1.4m, at inflated rates for accomodations at Trump properties for official duties protecting the president.

It's not a twist, it's a legal standard.

The only breaches of law that I think really should be looked at is his family's continued breach of the emoluments clause. Not only did he continue to actively run his business' during his administration, but his family used their positions to secure and expand their business' in China and the Middle East. Then there is the fact that Trump forced federal government to use his privately owned properties to house traveling diplomats and government agents. This required the government to finance upgrades to his properties to meet diplomatic travel standards.
