    As much as I don’t care for Newsom, he’s playing this well. Using the photos of the guys piled on each other in some classroom to call out Trump directly.

    Political affiliations don’t matter here; Americans like soldiers. Especially older people, they get livid seeing our soldiers get treated like shit.

    When do we get to the point where our military says NO WE WILL NOT??? Can it be now please?

    Any military that are actively down there in CA are dishonoring our country. Disgraceful! What is more important — doing what is right and standing up to dictatorship as the constitution says you should, or sucking an old fucks crusty dick???

      You can’t expect people drilled for obedience their entire careers to suddenly turn into rebels. You can hope, but you can’t expect

    If there is at least one national guard who has family in the LA area, you are acting hostile to a fellow guards family. The president of the United States doesn’t give a fuck about you, or your brothers or their family. Do the right thing.

      This is not only incorrect, it is just plain unfair…
      They are supposed to shoot TV reporters too. And, well, anybody really. Not just protesters.

      It’s very easy to just tell them to get a hotel and they’ll be reimbursed or just bulk order all the rooms in a couple hotels. The national guard troops along the border in their pretend mission do that, they all just stay at a hotel.

    Third Amendment

    No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

      To be fair, asking for civilians to help place them isn’t a Constitutional violation, forcing them to do so is.

      Either way it’s ridiculous and already well past the line of bullshit, bit that wouldn’t be a crime at all.

      A lot of these guys are being pulled from full time jobs and they don’t get paid very much as a national guardsman anyway. This is horrible what they’re doing to them too.

        They are not getting paid anything in this case. Usually they get paid by the state when doing work there, but since they were federalized they are under federal juridistion now and won’t get paid by the state for deployment. And Trump isn’t providing federal funds, hence them sleeping on the floor, having to pay for food themselves, using their own equipment.

          That’s simply not true. They get payed the same rate as an active duty soldier while federalized, based on their rank and service time. The sleeping on the floor of the ICE detention center is because there is not a space for them in the city.

          These are mostly teenagers living on the edge anyway, or they wouldn’t be in the National Guard. This is so not cool.

        That could work to our advantage. Piss them off enough until they lay down arms and walk off the job.

        Three tenets to live by:

        1. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s wallet
        2. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s family
        3. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s food

    nah that’s just how soldiers are, they grab sacktime on any surface, great reason not to help quarter them

    the problem is that they deployed soldiers against civilians in a US city

      Yeah this isn’t that bad. When I was in the Marines you catch sleep where ever or when ever you can. I’ve slept on so many different floors and types of ground. You get used to it honestly.

    Looking at traffic and road closures on Maps, 2000 NG are mobilized to watch a few miles of freeway going into the city. The protests are only blocking one side of the freeway and anyone can leave. What a massive over reaction.

    And those troops are sleeping on floors and have no bathrooms. Imagine having to crush the liberty of your fellow neighbor while being unable to take a shit in a toilet.

    Salute them for their service.
