Not really but I read some of his stuff

Trump could be a three-headed dragon instead of a fat fuck but him insisting on violence is the only move that makes sense and will make these savages behave. Violent people should be treated with violence. And why are you rehashing old issues that isn't relevant to what's happening in LA? Why do you want to appeal to both sides in this forum with a horrible centrist take? Grow a pair.

- I take steroids. I cant grow nothing here

I care about people getting hurt. I'm far more critical of american left than the right.

Highjacking a political cartoonist’s original work and missing the mark entirely. What a desperate attempt at a meme.

So not funded by tax payers. Cool. As I understand it the parade is estimated to cost $25M-$45M. Not accounting for infrastructure damage caused by tanks rolling down city streets. The inappropriate deployment of National Guard and Marines estimated to cost tax payers upwards of $134M.

Well I bet through some of the NGO affiliates and sponsors, it is likely funded by tax payer dollars. Just like these riots and protests are not organic, being well funded and organized by people who hate America.

They literally have over 100 partners helping fund and organize it.

PARTNERS — No Kings

As for the cost of the national guard, consider it a cost saving measure, considering the billions in benefits that CA alone pays for illegals

“Not organic”. I love how Trump supporters harp about demonstrations and protests being organized like organizing is somehow nefarious or illegal. “Lock them up!”

Karen Bass, the Mayor of Los Angeles, is a Communist.

Full stop.

Proven. Fact checked. Verified.

She was part of, and led, faction of the Venecermos Brigade.

This is the kind of leadership that Communists provide.

unfortunately, that's false. would be cooler if it was true though.

Wow, out of the arrests of LA protestors, over 300 were illegals and 1/3 of them had criminal histories. Unfortunately for them, they won’t receive the incentives with this method of self-deportation. How dumb of them lol



The media trying so hard to prop up the democrats here, but there are too many voices that are trusted more than the mainstream media speaking out against their gaslighting. Jillian Michaels a fitness guru, lesbian, disillusioned liberal, but even someone like her has had enough. You love to see it

Thats nuts. The democrats are really shooting themselves in the foot with this one.

They're organizing protests to keep illegal immigrants from being deported, which is going against the will of the American voter. That's not just harping on some trivial thing.

If that’s your takeaway, you really don’t understand what’s going on.

The majority of Americans approve of what's "going on." If you can't view the situation through anything other than a "Trump bad" lens then I can't help you.

Well they wouldn’t have to spend millions if they were. Thankfully the DOJ is looking into these groups

“Trump bad. Trump very very bad.”

* "Nearly all", "exceptions", "mostly". This is unacceptable.


"Pro Hamas"? Most honest people would call it, vocal support for Palestinians, vocal support of Ukraine, and/or vocal condemnation of Israel.

I clearly said Pro-Hamas or Anti-Israel protests. Learn to read.

And I have always been 100% against deporting green hard holders protesting Israel's policies. And have criticized it severely. Check the Israel Hamas thread.

Even one is too many. What if that was you?

I'm not a wife beater, illegally in the country, most likely MS-13 and arrested while trafficking 9 other illegal immigrants.

World's smallest violin.

And ICE has repeated ambushed people at their "job interviews". Again not prioritizing criminals.

I literally said in my post they're not only going after criminals and that Trump opened deportations to anyone they can deport. Selective reading much?

False.

• Several U.S. citizens were deported in April 2025:
  • U.S. District judge Terry A. Doughty stated that a 2-year-old U.S. citizen (identified only by her initials V.M.L.) was deported to Honduras "with no meaningful process" with her pregnant mother who allegedly requested the child be taken with her, despite the child's citizenship. The judge cited Lyttle v. United States, saying "it is illegal and unconstitutional to deport, detain for deportation, or recommend deportation of a U.S. citizen.
  • A 10-year old girl with brain cancer, who is an American citizen, was deported with her family to Mexico after being stopped at an immigration checkpoint while on the way to an emergency medical appointment.
  • A 7-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother, who has stage 4 cancer, were deported to Honduras without access to the 4-year-old's cancer medications.

Again with your selective reading. These young kids were deported along with their parents BY CHOICE. The mom requested it because they were being deported themselves. These kids are free to come back into the country.

And what of Indigenous Americans who have lived in the US their entire life, and much longer than registered US citizens?

Indigenous Americans are citizens by law.

Intentionally interrupting the legal application process and intercepting applicants as they arrive for immigration court hearings. This is not prioritizing criminals. Or enacting immigration laws in good faith or in the spirit of justice.

I never said they were only prioritizing criminals. I said the complete opposite. Again learn to read.

The campaign promise was to prioritize criminals. They did not. They showed up at workplaces, schools, playgrounds, court houses, seizing non criminals, many with work visas, US citizenship, adequate ID, or interrupting immigration court application hearings.

They're prioritizing criminals but at the same time just deporting anyone else they can who are illegal.

The promise has always been millions of mass deportations. Obviously all millions are not criminals.

To be fair that cartoonist is very conservative and works for Creators Syndicate anyways. Poster could have honestly probably just found an actual cartoon from that one.
