Los Angeles

We probably both agree Trump is attempting a fascist takeover of the US political system. He would like nothing more than to be able to jail all his opponents.

However, I don't see what happened to Padila as indicative of that at all. A man was yelling something during a federal press conference. Security guards did what they're paid to so: handle disruptions by removing them. He wasn't arrested, he was let go afterwards and Noem and Padila exchanged phone numbers to continue a conversation.

Just because a few security guards may have been overly aggressive doesn't mean much, just like a few people looting or burning cars doesn't mean LA has lost control. Please try to maintain perspective in these difficult times, the level of distortion on both sides (instead of just the right) is getting out of hand.
