The explicit threat comes days after Trump ordered soldiers to put down protests in Los Angeles
Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to forcibly put down any protests that spoil the military parade he has ordered up for his birthday on Saturday to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army’s founding during the American Revolutionary War.
Speaking in the Oval Office following an impromptu event to discuss forest management ahead of the upcoming summer wildfire season, Trump was riffing on what he described as violent excesses by protesters who’ve been demonstrating against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Los Angeles when he was asked about the possibility of protests against the June 14 parade.
He reiterated the explicit threat a moment later, telling “those people who want to protest” that they would be “met with very big force” once more.
Well now I feel more compelled to go tell off that orange fuck, and protest the armed forces that are a: allowing themselves to be used for propaganda, and b: allowing their companions to be deployed against their own citizens in violation of their oaths.
I have a strong suspicion there’s gonna be a lot of heat exhaustion cases…
Like, not even as a protest, it’s not gonna be coordinated well, they won’t have shade or water and bundled up in old “throwback” uniforms that don’t have the modern benefits and soldiers aren’t used to.
Once a couple genuine cases happen, a lot of people just won’t fight thru it.
Like Tiananamen Big?
It will be Tiananmen Squared
Like his Chinese tariffs big
Sends cops to commit a massacre.
Cops see donut shop.
Cops just robs the donut shop and forget about the massacre they’re supposed to do.
A very Bigly show of force
Times 100
It would really suck if a bunch of semi trucks stalled out and jackknifed across the entire parade route.
Pretty sure we got a glimpse of the truck driver political spectrum a few years ago.
Mom was a trucker, and though the demographic is skewed, they come in a variety of viewpoints.
Is there time to get some burning Waymo cars from California shipped in?
It’s probably more efficient to ship them pre-burnt.
It was a real shame no trains derailed with all those tanks on them.
Especially considering how easy it is to derail a train… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derail
Cars only please, we’ve got multiple crises!
“You better come to my birthday party or you’re gonna be sorry!”
I hope everyone turns up in clown costumes.
I am senile but I think this might be a good one.
All the good people should stay home for the orange rapist/felons stupid parade. I understand that people need to take a stand, but this is a special occasion.
If the good stay home, the only ones left at the rump rally Will be magats. Magats are magats and they themselves will start fighting each other and all the dumb ICE’ers etc will start paint balling their own magats. The next day report to media all the goodies stayed home, all that trouble that happened is on the magats.
Also rump does not get the bloodshed he is looking for unless the magats go wild.
Win win in my book but then again I like shaking my fist at clouds.
Protests mean nothing if nobody sees it.
Donald Trump and the GOP are traitors to the United States and enemies of the American people.
Treat them as such.
Stfu TACO.
I would advice people against directly clashing with the police. Such does little good, as police has typically more weapons and more fight training. It will only get you in trouble and do nothing good.
If you really wanna be an annoying prick to authorities, consider slashing tires of ICE vehicles. This way, when ICE plans to abduct people again, they’re stuck in the middle of a village they probably don’t know well, surrounded by people who are angry at them. That can’t be good for them.
Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.
Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.
Or maybe leave a bag of green lasers with instructions to shine them at LEO helicopters then run away. Don’t get caught with one.
Or if you know an LEO or ICE person, anonymously dox them.
You’re not invited to my birthday party!!!
“If anyone ruins my big boy parade I’m going to throw the biggest tantrum you’ve ever seen!”
He’s gonna be upside down on a lamp post one day <3
That poor lamp post. They’re gonna need a couple of horses to hoist his fat ass up anywhere.
Fuck you!!!
Awww poor baby TACO is scaewd better put him up for nappy time or the big bad group of citizens legally assembling peacefully are going to let him know he’s a fucking loser that deserves nothing but a 8x8 concrete box
He’s not scared, he’s manufacturing consent
“leftists” and “moderates” continue to do themselves the disservice of not knowing, this underestimating their enemy, while overestimating ourselves. It’s a pernicious habit that will cause stupid blunders and we need to correct it, now, myself included.
Kiss my ass traitor.
Bring it, bitch
Can civilians buy tear gas to throw into parades? Asking for a friend.
So tear gas isn’t available for civilian purchase, and you will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon if you are caught throwing tear gas back at a cop.
So it’s not a “deadly” weapon to use on unarmed civilians but it is if used against cops with gas masks. Hm.
You can do anything once, twice if your quick!
The hardest attackers to block are the ones who don’t intend to leave afterwards
