You think deploying troops because you don't like someone's political beliefs is the same thing, do you?

You don't seem to understand what plausible deniability is. This is the from second paragraph:

Roughly 700 active-duty Marines were deployed into Los Angeles on Monday, June 9th, 2025, under orders from President Trump, following days of unrest triggered by federal immigration raids.

Sending troops because there are "commies among us" is not the same thing.

Yikes. And he asked Congress & Cali’s Governor’s permission, right?

I prefer adult engagement.

And yet your every comment is absolutely brimming with snark and condescension. I prefer adult engagement too and that means not wasting any more time on you.

I’ll read this as “I excuse Trump’s illegal deployment of Marines on a state that never requested help, therefore Speaker Johnson’s request for an increased military budget is hereby excusable following days of unrest triggered by Communists” and carry on.
