#5
Has the Civil War / Rebellion between USA MAGA vs Illegals, Liberal, Socialists, & Democrats started?

Will Blue State run politicians start, raiding Conservative (MAGA) registered gun owners and voters, to be held without trial?

Will there be a major increase in Domestic Terrorism in the coming months? Like the Teen who was stopped, just before he executed his plan for a mass shooting at the 3 Rivers Mall in Washington state. Which also involved using an IED chlorine bomb.

Only time will tell.

#6 Natalie Winters is reporting on X that ActBlue is funding the rioters.

#7 My intuition-based guess for NN2N1, based on what I've absorbed here at Rantburg, worth what you paid for it — I have no arguments to support my feelings here:

Yes, the Civil War is officially begun, now that the Black Bloc-ers are pivoting away from Jew hate on campus — the semester is over and everyone has gone home for the summer, and anyway, President Trump is driving strong punishments for all involved, particularly the universities.

I don’t think there will be mass round-ups of gun owners and other free thinkers in Blue States, not with strongly active Trump nominees sitting in Homeland Security, ICE, the Justice Department and the FBI. Or even harassment, after the first attempts are smashed down.

I think there will be more riots like this — in Blue States, after attempts in Red States are shut down hard — because Black Bloc types only have one response when switched on. So the feds will quickly have a lovely collection in their cells to trace connections from — no doubt the latest upgrade of DoD’s Palantir (that’s the one, right?) will come in very handy, indeed.

It may be that after deeply angering President Trump with their induced Jew hate, this will turn out to be the step too far that gets the entire ecosystem shut down, all the way back to the rich Progressives (and China, and maybe Iran and some rich Sunni Arab jihad lovers) financing the thing. Or even if it is only strongly cut back, like an overgrown hedge, that would be very helpful as a first step.

#8 Actually, we are funding them

#9 "WE" are not funding them. Some corrupt bureaucrat is.

#10 As so often, NN2N1, you guide my thinking.

Really good find, Mercutio. DOGE’s next round of searches becomes apparent, unless DataRepublican or one of the other volunteers is already on it.

#11 Whoops! Via Instapundit, Data Republican is indeed also on it. Army of Davids stuff!

Just so you know, the pro-illegal immigration riots in Los Angeles are government-funded https://t.co/dwQ2Wzw5br

#12 ...Those Marines should secure the Port and USN facilities in and around Los Angeles....along with the refineries. Divert EVERYTHING elsewhere.

When even the rich can't get goodies or gas, it might just stop PDQ.

#13 Is there any information about what type of units have been activated? MPs? Medical? Something else?

#14 The Marines are just down the road at Camp Pendleton. They can be there in two hours.

#16 Although I hesitate to put this thought out there, it's a bit interesting that Newsom has not sought a TRO against the deployment of the National Guard. Maybe Newsom's tried and been told that there are some orders even Judge Boasberg won't sign.

#17 ROE should be rioters will be shot without warning.

#18 it's a bit interesting that Newsom has not sought a TRO against the deployment of the National Guard.

Possibly Newsom's presidential ambitions are holding him back. The Normies are generally appalled by riots. Being overtly on the side of the rioters might make for some bad opposition campaign ads.

#19 The Feds haven’t shot rioters since Kent State and I hope it stays that way. If they get the J6 treatment and are prosecuted I’d be quite happy.

#20 we've had NGOs indirectly funding rioting, criminal trespassing, etc. for a few years now

somehow, we still don't have enough receipts to begin criminal indictments or class action civil suits, although some lawsuits have begun against some universities

I think the problem is that the FBI and the other law enforcement hasn't infiltrated these lefty orgs.

#22 #19 ew109 Is right. I hope there will be no shooting except in self defense. Aggressively arrest them, put them through the federal ringer. Search and sift through their phones for communications and histories. Use all applicable law to put them through the ringer at the very least make the process the punishment.

#23 Absent Posse Commitatus Protections of Title 32 (State), troops in a Title 10 (Federal) status have severe limitations on permitted duties. Declaration of Martial Law fixes that and suspends Habeus Corpus, but they haven't gone there yet.

#27 ^#26 - Perhaps the Feds could let that one go? Comrade Bass and the Commie Press & LAPD Chief can handle it, right?

#29 Non-lethal law enforcement can only go so far. Maybe we haven't yet reached the point where a lethal response is justified but if they start burning and looting or if law enforcement officers are getting hurt, it might be time to change tactics.

We don't want to make martyrs of these people.

But if they're here illegally and waving the flag of a foreign country while they violently attack American law enforcement officers, then we are justified in treating them as foreign enemy combatants.

If Democrat office holders incite violence, they need to go to jail. They need to be thoroughly investigated. We need to know where their money comes from and whether or not they are agents of any foreign powers or criminal organizations.
