Pentagon officials said the cost of deploying thousands of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles is $134 million.

Well good thing the U.S. economy is rock solid at the moment, and we have excess money to burn.

Otherwise we might start seeing bipartisan anger at a president and administration who have spent $134 million dollars to force a state government to do what the federal government says, while undoing previous federal orders regarding civil rights bc they were an unjust burden to states and a waste of the American tax payer dollar.

    Sorry, no we fucking won’t.

    Highest courts (SCROTUS) bought and paid for. Congress has abdicated all responsibilities/oversight. Legacy media cowed into subservience.

    Those who worry we’re on our way to “authoritarianism/facism” or “unitary executive”, I’ve news… We’re there Right Fucking Now.
