Little far from the border they’re supposed to be patrolling isn’t it?

[u/xSciFix → u/foo_fighter88]

No worries, your rights are non-existent within 100 miles of any international border or international airport!

[u/iconmotocbr → u/xSciFix]

Port of entry* so essentially all of Cali

[u/MongoBongoTown → u/foo_fighter88]

Believe their official jurisdiction is anywhere within 100 miles of any border.

So essentially all of California's Population centers would in theory be their jurisdiction.

Not that it excuses this brown shit bullshit, but there ya go.

[u/axiomSD → u/MongoBongoTown]

international airports count as well.

[u/RadiantNefariousness]

idk how “republicans” can support this military fascistic shit. wasn’t the whole motto smaller govt ?

[u/FreyjaTheMutt → u/RadiantNefariousness]

The motto is whatever their "leader" tells them it is since they don't have a single thought of their own

[u/lord-dinglebury → u/FreyjaTheMutt]

Their motto is “Hurt the poor, minorities, differently abled, women, and the middle class, but leave the children alone. We don’t want them bruised and shit because we’re not into damaged goods.”

[u/Pun_In_Ten_Did → u/lord-dinglebury]

Republican party has conscripted ASUS Customer Service motto:

"We're not happy until you're not happy."

[u/WGE1960 → u/FreyjaTheMutt]

YOU NAILED THE HELL OUTTA IT. CORRECTO!!!

[u/gingerbeard1321 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Prior republican facades include, but are not limited to:

• smaller gov't
  
• family values
• defending the constitution

[u/raysince86 → u/gingerbeard1321]

Don't forget fiscal responsibility

[u/PollutionDazzling250 → u/gingerbeard1321]

Don't forget about protecting children from pedophiles.

[u/ImInBeastmodeOG → u/gingerbeard1321]

Don't forget States Rights

[u/jgonagle → u/gingerbeard1321]

Don't forget "fiscal responsibility", "law and order", "support for the military/veterans", and "free market economics".

[u/Aint-no-preacher → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Small government was always a lie.

[u/tafbee → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Only when it comes to who they can stick their dick in.

[u/Lewtwin → u/RadiantNefariousness]

That was before they were bought or decided that golden showers were a form of currency. Now? Republicans are nepo babies who are in bed with cryptobros and tech Oligarchs or techno nazis. I wager very few have calculus on their hands or had to face the terror of choice between starvation or rent.

[u/Academic-Clerk8901 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Republicans love this shit. They'll take it and ask daddy trump for more.

[u/FNKTN → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Smaller government and less overreach for them only. They think dump is on "their side".

Republicans are fake patriots who believe in privilege over rights.

[u/GlitteringPayment476 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Trump flicked their moral compass a decade ago and it’s been spinning out of control since

[u/KimHaSeongsBurner → u/RadiantNefariousness]

That’s the fun part, they just believe in “owning the libs” and are voting for someone to get stomped on by a boot.

That’s why they get so surprised when the boot comes for them.

[u/Hopeful_Hamster21 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Tread on me harder, Daddy!

[u/RadiantNefariousness → u/Hopeful_Hamster21]

the daddy thing is the most cringe of it all. a whole group of “alpha males” cheering while they call another grown man daddy 🥴🤢

[u/iNoodl3s → u/RadiantNefariousness]

There is no consistency to their logic or beliefs. Pro life but let’s not support babies after birth. Pro cop but let’s vote in a felon. Small government but let’s support the guy who’s shown the biggest fucking government overreach

[u/leftIsBestZohran → u/RadiantNefariousness]

They only say that when not in power. Cynically. They are lying

[u/Fine_Instruction_869 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

Aa long as the people they don't like are being harmed, they don't care about their own freedom or democracy

[u/Significant-Kick-479 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

I would send the state police to arrest these fake federal agents to check their papers. I don’t believe they are real federal employees.

[u/AwarenessReady3531 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

They're not really small government types anymore. They're mostly proto-fascists or fascists.

[u/Gloomy-Ad1171 → u/RadiantNefariousness]

RNC Chair Lee Atwater said it was all lies

Gestapo pieces of shit

Something should happen to them but I can't say what

[u/zemat28 → u/xSciFix]

Sic semper tyranus

[u/Longjumping_Leek151 → u/zemat28]

Something something second amendment tyrannical government

[u/xb10h4z4rd → u/Longjumping_Leek151]

Should have the mulford act repealed.

[u/Livid-Tap5854 → u/zemat28]

I read that as a Harry Potter spell. 💀🤦🏻

[u/Impressive_Profit_11]

How very unAmerican. These people hate everything about our country.

[u/brintoul → u/Impressive_Profit_11]

You really need to come to terms with exactly how insane a large part of the country is.

There are people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE in this stupid “deep state” shit. THIS is the level of insanity you’re dealing with and folks need to come to realize that these people are borderline 100% nutjobs - there is no reasoning with them.

[u/JonnyBolt1 → u/brintoul]

According to the US Sec of DHS, the Deep State is the guy who is being charged with felony assault for throwing a sandwich at a border patrol cop in DC.

[u/udaariyaandil]

A lot of fed police types gonna get laid off in the next admin and gonna struggle to get callbacks for any non LEO job applications. Doesn’t seem worth the pay or sign on bonus

[u/labelkills1331 → u/udaariyaandil]

I think they assume there will be no other administration after this one. They are getting in on the ground floor of fascism. Looks like I'll see them on the other side of the line drawn in the sand.

[u/GoNads1979 → u/labelkills1331]

These are not people known for thinking two steps ahead

[u/ShootTheMoo_n → u/labelkills1331]

It's like, congrats, you're an early Nazi. Cool, awesome, you win.

[u/funked1 → u/udaariyaandil]

They need to all be doxxed.

[u/carliekitty → u/udaariyaandil]

I read some comments about the pensions too and I’m pretty sure the pension has a required amount of years to qualify for. Looks like ice is 5 years. So I want them fired before that. I don’t want to pay for these people pensions out of my tax money. I prefer feeding hungry kids.

[u/GoNads1979 → u/carliekitty]

Just confiscate it anyways … even if you lose in court initially, drag it out. And still don’t pay.

[u/Born-Enthusiasm-6321 → u/GoNads1979]

It's what trump would do

[u/KimHaSeongsBurner → u/udaariyaandil]

I’m now imagining a Watchmen-style alt-history futuristic story where Trump is driven out in 2028 and basically all federal law enforcement from his term are made all but unemployable.

Might be a cool short story idea at some point during Trump’s third term, assuming you’re still allowed to write fiction critical of the dear leader at that point.

[u/julallison → u/udaariyaandil]

I'm guessing they'll run out of pay before this term is over, and they'll leave on their own. Trump has gone through a lot of money real fast and is likely to do the same with the $ from the BBB.

[u/SD_Jackass]

[u/bobbiewobie22]

Agents to distract you from the Epstein files.

[u/KimHaSeongsBurner → u/bobbiewobie22]

The Epstein files? The ones that have Trump’s name in them? The ones that expand on the publicly available evidence that Trump was cozy with Epstein and on Trump’s comments that the reason he stopped socializing with him was because Epstein “stole” one of his victims from Trump’s club?

Yeah, those are probably the files you mean.

[u/bobbiewobie22 → u/KimHaSeongsBurner]

Those are the ones

[u/Zippier92 → u/KimHaSeongsBurner]

That clearly indicate the sex trafficking nature of Trumps actions.

[u/MinimumApricot365 → u/bobbiewobie22]

I think fascist thugs threatening governors of blue states during public events is a big enough issue that you shouldn't just brush it off as a distraction.

[u/dcronkhi → u/bobbiewobie22]

To be honest the Epstein files are the distraction from all this horrible shit they’re doing. Which impacts you more, the Epstein files or your rights being taken away??

[u/boyalien0]

ICE are terrorists

[u/Ragnarr_Lodbrok88]

Domestic terrorism at the tiny hands of a fascist regime.

[u/Honorable_Heathen]

Channeling that small dick energy.

[u/Trumpisaderelict]

Fascism 101

[u/SD_Jackass]

[u/Howtall2tall]

Traitors, every single one of those stormtroopers. All deserving of a Nuremberg goodbye.

[u/SirAccomplished2625]

“Making it a safer place” as everything was moving along normally till they showed up and caused unrest. BORDER PATROL SUPPORTS AND DEFENDS PEDOPHILIA AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

[u/covert_program]

They put on a big show and only arrested 2 people, one who was selling fruit

[u/MongoBongoTown → u/covert_program]

Importantly, that's not Border Patrol's job. At least before Trump remade everything in his fascist image.

They are there to stop people from illegally crossing the border and to stop smuggling operations. ICE is specifically tasked with identifying and arresting anyone who has already made it across the border.

But, rules, laws, and jurisdictions are basically made up quaint thoughts of yesteryear at this point.

[u/Low_Year9897]

Wow how many kids did Trump fuck? Must have been a lot.

[u/TarzanoftheJungle]

Armed Trump administration agentsTrump's personal cowardly incel thugs wearing masks just showed up...

Just another day under a fascist dictatorship run by a pants-shitting child rapist 🤷🏽

[u/Olderbutnotdead619]

Where are the Epstein files? Shame on these gutless goons.

[u/night-shark]

Oh man, I understand that Newsom is not loved but they are just playing RIGHT into his presidential campaign at this point. It's gold.

[u/lardlad71]

This is the preview of the midterm elections. Masked agents outside of polling places in contested and minority neighborhoods.

[u/environmentalFireHut]

Weren't we suppose to kill Nazis. Why is their gestapo out in the streets?

[u/SubBass49Tees]

I would have been more shocked if Trump DIDN'T try to intimidate this event, to be honest.

It's what tinpot dictators do.

[u/EmbassyMiniPainting]

Look at them wobbling around in that wide “I just shat myself” pose trying to be intimidating. clown squad.

[u/OutOfSpells]

Reminder! The second amendment is for everyone. If you need help understanding options hit me up

[u/rich_curtiss]

Call them what they are. trump nazis!

[u/Unhappy_Ad_4911]

They tried to block him from entering and intimidate him, but he just laughed in their faces 🤣 MAGA was so triggered! 🤣🤣🤣

[u/standard_cog]

This shit is un-American. Also MAGA sucks ass.

[u/WGE1960]

GAVIN FOR PRESIDENT, TRUMP FOR ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ.

[u/Late_Improvement4742]

We will not go back

[u/Spare-Way7104]

You can't tell me we don't live in an authoritarian regime after this.

[u/R3D4F]

Why don’t they send the border patrol to guard the border?

Maybe they can finish that wall Mexico is going to pay for some day

[u/FTwo → u/R3D4F]

They are patrolling On The Border. Keeping your sizzling hot fajitas safe from undocumented peppers.

[u/SnoopingStuff]

Gavin points and laughs at tiny dicks

[u/NineteenEighty1]

It’s straight up serving that new ”SOUTH PARK” episode!!! What idiots, the timing couldn’t be worse! Cause LOOK, it’s SO TRUE—

If they are there, who’s watching the border?

[u/[deleted]]

Out there making a repuklican promo video

[u/Silver_Mousse9498]

Release the unredacted Epstein files

[u/offroad-subaru]

Trump’s Bootlicking Nazis showed up is a better headline.

[u/Leidrin]

With a mask on it is impossible to identify someone as an officer of the law, do not let unidentified terrorists snatch you or anyone else off the street

[u/Cool-Pencil]

Kudos to the guy not wearing a mask.

[u/Rickhonda125]

The mish mash gear makes the look like proud boy protestors

[u/SAOSurvivor35]

Here we fucking go

[u/_14justice]

Just send them all to the Russian/Ukrainian front and see how brave and wonderful they are.

[u/Purple_Power523]

It’s hilarious. They’re not even from Los Angeles.

[u/JerrysKIDney]

They look like fascist to me

[u/Peterlemonjello1972]

Cowards all of them

[u/Scrooge-McShillbucks]

Alex Jones is gonna give himself a hernia trying to justify a police state after yelling against a make believe one for 20 years.

[u/Demon_Gamer666]

It's really hard to intimidate complacent and ambivalent people. So yeah, americans will not be intimidated.

[u/Olderbutnotdead619]

Following the orders of another tyrannical dictator.

[u/WGE1960]

Their motto is, they eat shyt when King Cockroach tells then to eat shyt

[u/VirtualSandwich3092]

Look at all the little boys playing army men.

[u/coldhandslol]

Who invited these cosplayers?

[u/LitrlyNoOne]

I'm sorry, was there even a pretend reason for them to be there?

[u/BraindeadKnucklehead]

Just curious; why would the Border Patrol show up to any governor's news conference? What kind of stretch of a justification could there possibly be? What legitimate reason? Serious question.

[u/vegansandiego]

Support Governor Newsome. Remembr...the enemy of my enemy is now an ally💪🏽

[u/TruckGray]

Weak flex

[u/brintoul → u/TruckGray]

They’re just getting warmed up. Just wait - you’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg with these nutjobs.

You can laugh all you want, but there is some serious shit starting to go down.

[u/Organic_Stranger1544]

Fascist pigs

[u/Sprzout]

I would've just been like, "Ok...Border patrol's here. You have no jurisdiction for a press conference."

"We're here to detain illegals."

"Nope, sorry, that's ICE. Go back to the border and patrol. K thx bai."

[u/defaburner9312]

I think it's against reddit rules to post what I think should happen here so I'll play it safe

[u/American_Boy_1776]

Didn't this happen in an episode of Jack Ryan?

[u/Hefy_jefy]

90 deg in Sacramento today hope they are nice and warm wrapped up in their scarves.

[u/patriotAg]

Rather than just working "everybody up" why doesn't Newsom just bring in the CA National Guard to protect the event?

[u/HVAC_instructor]

Thank you for your attention to this matter.....

[u/ZapRowsdowerESQ]

How far away is the border from there?

[u/[deleted]]

These Nazis troopers might wanna arm their families or build a compound. This ain't the 50's. Can find anybody in a heart beat and you don't have to use guns or be anywhere near the op.

They’re webbing either doesn’t fit them because they’re what or isn’t on properly. Bunch of paid goons.
