National Gaurd deployed to LA, Marines on standby……

By the numbers:47% of U.S. adults disapprove of of deploying the Marines to LA, with 34% approval.

45% disapprove the National Guard deployment, while 38% said they approve.

Yes, but: An equal share — 45% —also disapprove of the protests against ICE, per Monday YouGov polling.

36% said they approve of the protests, and 19% said they are not sure.

Zoom out: Historically, Americans have a history of disapproving civil rights protests and demonstrations.

Zoom in:The polling is largely along partisan lines.

58% of Democrats said they approved of the anti-ICE protests, compared to 15% of Republicans. 68% of Republicans and 12% of Democrats supported the Marine response, while 75% of Republicans and 13% of Democrats approved of the National Guard deployment.
Fresh polling
“Mass shooter who opened fire at graduation party is just one of the migrants busted in LA ICE raids: ‘That’s who they’re protesting for’”

Why does MAGA always point to one bad apple (out of tens of thousands) as their reasoning to "deport all illegals"? They don't seem to ever use that reasoning for anything else. I wonder what it could be?
Same tired argument over and over again. Don’t agree with me? You’re a racist! The word doesn’t work any more.

Illegal means they have broken the law, do not have a right to be here, and can be removed. Out.

And guess what? The majority of Americans agree.

Not sure you're receptive. But several Republicans in Congress get it. They recognize that there are more Carols out there

These riots are not organic.

Dems are like organized crime but play the loopholes using NGOs, donations, and their top dogs are well removed from direct coordination.
Give Bass and Newsom credit as they helped make future commercials. Well done.

Anybody want to defend them and tell us these were peaceful protests?

This is the problem with the Trump administration. The normal people who were around during his first term are all gone now and the only ones left will lie through their teeth without any hesitation to push their agenda. Why should anyone believe anything coming from this administration in an age of “alternate facts”?

Tulsi Gabbard, the US director of national intelligence, has fired the two highest-ranking officials at the National Intelligence Council (NIC) just weeks after the council released an assessment that contradicted Donald Trump’s justification for using the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without due process.

Mike Collins was serving as acting chair of the NIC before he was dismissed alongside his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof. They each had more than 25 years of intelligence experience.

Two intelligence officers who spent the majority of their careers in the intelligence services were shown the door because they had the courage to speak truth to power.

Your own link seems to contradict you:

"US congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut, the senior Democrat on the House intelligence committee, said he’s seen no details to explain the dismissals."

Maybe you should call up Rep. Himes and share your superior knowledge of exactly why those two analysts were fired. Poor guy is the leading Dem on the House Intel Committee, yet he lacks your access to the real story.

On second thought, don't bother. You're way off topic.

When your intelligence analysts only tell you what you want to hear then you are really screwed. When Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tells you that the Los Angeles riots are being coordinated and funded it’s more than likely extremely suspect.

I-ACT is the new MAGA.
