I don't think personal attacks of this kind are especially encouraged in this section, but you can keep venting at me if it helps you feel better. Life is hard.
I'm accurately describing you. I said it before. You’ve expressed 0 left wing ideas. You always side with the right, and you throw dog whistles all the time. You’re not that slick son, you’re actually pretty easy to read.
It's easy for outsiders to think that deploying the military is just the natural response to riots, but that's always been a clear red line in this country. You don't deploy the military on American soil.

I created this from Claude AI based on the factual response based on the latest incident so I’ll let you guys understand if it was right or wrong
Was Trump’s 2025 immigration crackdown and military deployment in Los Angeles justified? Let’s answer that through legal, ethical, practical, and political lenses, based on verified evidence:
⚖️ 1. Legal Justification
✅ Partial — but highly controversial
Immigration enforcement is a federal power under U.S. law. Trump legally authorized ICE raids and expedited removals under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
But the use of federal troops without state consent is legally contested:
Violated Posse Comitatus norms (military should not act as domestic law enforcement).
First deployment since 1965 without governor approval.
California sued on grounds of state sovereignty and constitutional overreach.
🧠 Verdict: Technically lawful, but constitutionally gray and likely to be overturned in court.
🧬 2. Ethical Justification
❌ No — rights were violated
ACLU, ImmDef, and HRW reported:
Detentions without access to lawyers or interpreters.
Family separation and no access to food/water for hours.
Arrest of some legal residents, asylum seekers, and students.
Protesters, journalists, and legal observers faced aggressive policing.
🧠 Verdict: Not ethically justified. Violated civil liberties and due process norms even for vulnerable, law-abiding people.
🛠️ 3. Practical Justification
❌ Ineffective & counterproductive
ICE arrested hundreds, but only ~18% had serious criminal records.
LA’s massive protests, traffic disruption, and economic impact were far more costly than the operation’s gains.
Trust between immigrant communities and local police eroded, making cities less safe, not more.
🧠 Verdict: The crackdown caused fear, not measurable public safety improvement.
🗳️ 4. Political Justification
✅ From Trump’s base — ❌Nationally divisive
Trump’s base views this as delivering on his promises.
But across the country:
Independent voters disapproved of military overreach.
Latino, Asian, and immigrant communities saw it as racist and authoritarian.
Multiple Republican mayors (e.g., in San Diego, Dallas) distanced themselves.
🧠 Verdict: Politically calculated, but nationally polarizing and damaging long-term.
✅ Final Conclusion: Was it justified?
Legal
⚠️ Partially
Federal law supports it, but constitutional challenges likely to succeed
Ethical
❌ No
Rights of innocents were violated
Practical
❌ No
Minimal gains, high social cost
Political
⚠️ Base support only
Deeply divisive and destabilizing nationally 🔚 Final Verdict: No — it was not justified overall. While technically lawful in parts, the operation was excessive, constitutionally shaky, ethically flawed, and harmful to civil society.
well I agree Orangeman was right in doing so but he is doing to divert the attention from his economic side of things like Tariff stuff even his vote base didn’t like it . Imagine being okay if Soya is bought from Brazil rather than from farm in Texas .
It’s not because they live in the US that they are more informed. But I guess you weren’t asking about being informed. Anyway, I don’t believe in the theory that says that people’s opinions who live next to an event are more legit just because of geographical proximity.
Examples are many. Wether it’s environmental issues or political or wars and even genocides.
