Trumps Truppen der Nationalgarde „sitzen ungenutzt ohne Befehle“, nachdem sie für LA -Proteste eingesetzt wurden, verrät Gavin Newsom. Der kalifornische Gouverneur sagte, die Truppen seien in Bundesgebäuden ohne Nahrung oder Wasser zurückgelassen worden.

So basically Trump only deployed the CA national guard because they’re Californians and he wanted to mistreat them?
If every time he sends troops, he treats them like that, he’s gonna have a military coup.
They should see if FEMA will help them….
>The controversy stems from Trump’s decision to send 2,000 Guard troops to Los Angeles over the weekend in response to protests against aggressive ICE operations. On Monday, Newsom said he was informed another 2,000 were en route, even though most of the first wave had not been mobilized.
>Only about 300 have been actively deployed, while the rest remained in federal buildings „without orders,“
What a sad farce to create strongman optics
That allows for a mishap. Its by design from Trump.
They’re sleeping on the floor, too. That’s what Trump thinks of them- doesn’t even get them a bed
the SCOTUS NEEDS TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NOW!
– This is just a deployment in order to desensitize the soldiers being used for future actions….it is that plain and simple .
– Calling out the Military is absolutely ridiculous.
– Our Military should be standing against this.
The vending machine owners are the real winners here.
I wish this was enough for them to defy Trump and turn on him but alas, it’s not.
But Benny Johnson is deployed to LA to play soldier ! No worries folks! He will take care of it all! We are safe now….. ridiculous- DT hates the Military
Trump is a reality tv personality. everything he does is for a show (or personal gain). he measures success in viewers and tabloid‘s attention.
I wonder if the National Guard guys still think glorious leader Donald still has their best interests at heart.
This hasn’t escalated despite the best efforts of law enforcement, who are indiscriminately firing into crowds and even targeting journalists.
Protesters should feed them. No jokes. These guys must be having mixed feelings, and we can judge them for following orders, but you win more friends with honey. Where is Jose Andres?
Trump doesn’t do logistics,
Just photo ops.
“Suckers and losers”, according to Tangerine Palpatine
Can’t they just leave? What’s the worst that could happen, they get fired from the national guard? Why would anyone want to stay in the national guard getting crazy orders from a fascist?
…. since they turned off the gov credit cards , they can’t order any pizza or get motel rooms . piss poor planing
…. should be a taco truck around there somewhere… and a beer truck !!!
I spent a decent part of my career working with Army Readiness and I would lose my shit if a single toilet wasn’t working. Because the people doing this job of defending freedom…deserve THE BEST we can give them. And we work with lots of budget constraints, old buildings, etc. Those drill weekends are time away from children’s birthdays, family cookouts, or just relaxing to be ready for war! So, they are supposed to get the best I can give them.
So, this lack of planning degrades morale of people who literally give up their weekends from their families to prepare for war and defend democracy.
Not Cali’s problem.
Let Dear Leader feed them and give them water, or not.
Pulled away from actual issues like wildfires, the border and fentanyl smuggling to sit around without accommodations or food.
They’re being unused because their deployment is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. They can’t be used for law enforcement purposes under this act. Even the executive branch taking command of them violates the 10th amendment, but deploying at the request of POTUS isn’t following an unlawful order. The commanding officer of the CA National Guard understands that deploying in a law enforcement capacity would mean following an unlawful order, which sets him up for a court martial and dishonorable discharge.
Friendly reminder if you’re a business owner, in most cases, you can refuse business to anyone.
Maybe they get some Mexican food delivered
Newsom should make a big show of providing those national guard members with food and shelter. Undercut Trump and show that he is the one in control of the Guard, not Donnie. Also shows to the guard members that Donald doesn’t care about them but Gavin does. Secure loyalty.
They should send a fleet of Taco trucks
Newsom would be smart to put them up in a hotel or something if he can.
Or come bring food and water.
Or cots to a high school gym?
I dont know when kids are done in Cali?
Newsom has the opportunity to do the funniest thing of mobilizing taco trucks for these guys and treating them better than Dump does.
Then sending the Fed the bill.
What? No way! Donald Trump didn’t understand the complexity and weight of mobilizing a national guard unit?
He didn’t understand the difficulty of establishing actual mobilization orders and giving units real tasking statements?
He didn’t understand the absolute nut roll it is to generate a reasonable logistical foot print of something like this?
He didn’t understand the strain on the life and happiness of the average guardsman on getting mobilized during peak family holiday season to… checks notes “stand around with his dick in his hands in some federal parking garage”?
No way!!!
As someone who has been ripped out of his civilian life and undertook the task of planning executing and restrograding a reserve mobilization in response to a crisis…. Color me shocked that Trump thought it was as simple as “get the national guard out there!!!”
So in other words, disgusting misuse of power purely for political theatre.
Well isn’t that on brand. I hope someone from the USO can figure out where these poor guys are sleeping and send them food etc.
According to the DUI guy in charge they are going to be doing this for 60 days lol get those candy crush levels in boys bring another battery!
Order them to put their guns down and start building affordable housing.
It’s insane to think any military members support this draft dodging fascist criminal
So the public should feed and water them, show who the actual human beings are. Let the guard decide then who they are fighting for. I bet it’s happening or is trying to happen. Have more faith in people than US government as it stands.
Would be cool if our military members stood up to being treated like shit and used like dogs for this convicted felon to be able to look tough.
We wouldn’t be protesting if they weren’t kidnapping people without warrants, kidnapping the wrong people half the time, at courthouse immigration hearings or at elementary school graduations.
Where is the honor in standing against your fellow citizens who are actually fighting for justice? For due process? For basic human decency?
Just following orders has never been an excusable defense.
RESIST!!
Hes waiting for an excuse to set the troops on american cities so he can claim some kind of „terrorist uprising“ and start sending troops to wherever he wants
Trump is as competent in handling protests as his buddy Putin is at invading a much smaller and weaker country
This coming from the guy who ordered the opening of a dam to „turn the water on“ to extinguish fires in Southern California. He is such a huge idiot.
Trump is a drama queen. What a despicable loser smh
„Watch me flex my power over a Liberal state by sending in the troops!!!1!…. and waste taxpayer money while they do nothing!1!“
Meanwhile, Trump supporters are masturbating over this nonsense and they’re not even sure why.
The attempt by Trump to cause violence didn’t work .Trying to escalate the situation didn’t work. He wants to get a violent situation. Military in one city will spread. I’m sad I just typed those words in that combination.
Time for the community to bring them tacos.
