Kamala's lie by Middle Age Riot

[KS Toronado]

[sop]

1. The Marines.

[Grins]

11. Both. He federalized the California Guard and ordered them to LA

Over the governor’s objections.

[lame54]

2. Give him time

[calimary]

12. That's what worries me most.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. His point is that it is a difference without much distinction. . . . . nt

[Liberal In Texas]

4. Oops. Middle Age Riot needs to update...

Marines sent to LA

[Johonny]

5. He sent the Navy after us instead

[vishnura]

6. US Army National Guard

She’s right about that!

[Escurumbele]

7. What is really worrisome to me, besides 1,000 other things of course, is the lack of resistance from the

military.

Dictators need the military to rule, if the military obeys illegal orders and becomes a tool of the dictator then we are all in trouble, and blood will spill. This is not good people. The army should have refused to do the show on the 14th, its a slap on the citizens of the USA, it is a waste of money while cuts are being made to social benefits, its a tribute to a guy who didn't even serve. Treason seems to be the order of the day.

14. I believe I saw a post somewhere on DU that said

individual members of the Nation Guard could be procesecuted if they break laws or defy the Constitution. Laws that apply to protesters also apply to Guard members.

[Capperdan]

15. They can refuse

I was an Army Reserve member, the day after the Kent State shootings, there was a parade in LA. It was Armed Forces Day. I carried an M14 in the color guard next to the flag. My commander ordered me to mount my bayonet and respond to violence with a "short thrust". I refused, so did the guy on the other side. Nothing happened, it was fairly calm.

8. None of this would happen if she was president

America was relatively peaceful with the last president.

[Picaro]

9. Yeah, the Marines not the Army

Not sure any of the distinctions really matter.

[Fil1957]

10. A lie is when someone intentionally makes a false statement in order to mislead, like Trump does every day. To make a

slightly inaccurate statement is completely different and is not lying.

[dchill]

13. Predictions are not lies.

Especially when they prove true.
