Trump's Policies Part 5

[selmaborntidefan]

I think the powers-that-be in either party know that there are enough embarrassing names from either side of the aisle. Enough to want to keep it all under wraps.

I surmise this is like ABSCAM - which died a quick death, ended a few careers, and nobody ever brings up again.

I'm old enough to remember, "Newt is a jerk, Livingston is a joke, Tom DeLay is a felon, we need more men of stature from the Republicans like Denny Hastert."

And then Hastert was the one who was who abused under age boys......

Trump deploys National Guard after second day of Los Angeles immigration protests

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1931528977471987896

Ed O'Keefe (CBS News): The president invoked his Title 10 authority to federalize and deploy 2,000 National Guard in California and did not invoke the Insurrection Act, @PressSec tells me.




I'm far from an expert, so can someone more knowledgeable tell me why this doesn't violate the Posse Comitatus Act?

The Act has exceptions large enough to drive a convoy through, the biggest being inability of local and state authorities to maintain order. This is not the first time the guard has gone into LA...

I believe I read that Hegseth said he had the Marines from a nearby base on standby for deployment to LA if needed - surely that’s prohibited by the Posse Comitatus act, right?

ETA: found it

As a reminder, Trump had to be talked out of deploying the military during the riots in the wake of the George Floyd murder. It didn't stop him from being a performative fool with the Bible but still.

And yet when the Capitol was being violently attacked on Jan 6 he watched it on TV for hours and never called the guard.

And yet when the Capitol was being violently attacked on Jan 6 he watched it on TV for hours and never called the guard.

One British observer, a psychiatrist , said last week that Trump is looking for justification to declare Marshall Law. His reasoning is Trump's altering the priorities of our national security apparatus and weakening it leadership by installing inexperienced sycophants in leadership positions. He compares it to the Nazi Party and its rise to power in Germany in the 30's . We seem to be moving along that all to predictable path.

As an aside I believe Trump is seen as a useful idiot by the likes of Peter Thiel and others who genuinely desire an oligarchy of wealthy technocrats to run the country.

It may be time to declare that California does not have a republican form of government, overthrow the elected state government, replace it with an appointed military government and deny Californians the right to vote for a decade.
It's been done before to thunderous applause.
And anybody who opposes this policy would be a traitor.

Fugelsang: You ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than the Americans who keep boasting how American they are?

California gives our country $80 billion more than it takes back. Is this Donald Trump's way of saying he'd like to see California keep that money and not send it to red states where it can be good welfare cash for everybody else?

This is not even legal. Congress owns the purse strings. He can't even do it. It's all a complete distraction. I swear, the only thing this administration hates more than the new testament is the constitution.

Kristi Noem (February 2024):

If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.

Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.

South Dakota defends the Constitution.

One British observer...... He compares it to the Nazi Party and its rise to power in Germany in the 30's .

It's almost like we could have learned something from "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" with both the exaggerated claims of racist campaigns AND the "this candidate reminds me of Hitler."

1948 - Harry Truman

And then there was - wow, can you believe this - "British observers" in 1964 seeing Adolph Hitler in the form of the modern-day "he was one of the good Republicans," Barry Goldwater....who, according to Senator Fulbright AT THE EXACT SAME TIME....was Stalin!



In September 1968, Hubert Humphrey told all of us George Wallace was Hitler and Nixon wasn't, but he had people in his party like that (Robert Byrd was in the Senate at the time for those who love irony). But two months later, well, Humphrey changed his mind and now NIXON was Hitler.

And then there were the three times McGovern called Nixon "Hitler"....

And in 2016, Trump was also Hitler (except, of course, when Hillary was).

I'm willing to throw in and say I'm not pleased with where this whole thing is going, and the party of "law and order" is applying their "beliefs" with the same selectivity as the guy who decides who gets into the bar.

But making the same allegation for 80 years kind of deadens people to it, too.

Hank Jr lost a nice contract after calling Obama Hitler. Too bad there’s no consistency with that sort of fallout.

Ain't it funny how the MAGA cult views the California protests as "violent mobs", yet Jan 6th was all about 'fraydumb' and apple pie.

They spit on police officers that day, too, but that's different.

I think the deal is that you station Title 10 soldiers around key facilities or locations and they deter rioting (but do not enforce the law, make no arrest themselves, but leave the law enforcement to the cops).
Also, there is strength in numbers so if you have a mix of soldiers and cops, your cops go further.

Also, a group of soldiers around a facility or at a key intersection are allowed to protect themselves, so if they are attacked, they cannot arrest rioters, but they can shoot back to protect themselves. (As protestors found out at Kent State).

Although with this president, it seems the approach is "go ahead and do it and we will settle it (eventually) in court."

Godwin has since updated his views on his age-old internet term. To take into account the situation where a person or entity actually IS like the Führer:

""But when people draw parallels between Donald Trump’s 2024 candidacy and Hitler’s progression from fringe figure to Great Dictator, we aren’t joking. Those of us who hope to preserve our democratic institutions need to underscore the resemblance before we enter the twilight of American democracy."

You do realize that Eisenhower deployed the US Army to Little Rock to enforce desegregation, right?

Wait......wasn't 1/6 done by Antifa???

And wasn't Trump so magnanimous when he pardoned Antifa?

Except for when it was a "normal tourist visit" (because you know, we ALL carry zip ties)

And didn't it show great Christian grace when Trump pardoned the tourists!!!

Folks, if you want to see a real biblical end to the whole thing, what happens is a bunch of 1/6 pardoned protestors lose their government bennies and storm the White House and depose Ceausescu. And before the FBI reads this and visits me, I'm explicitly not calling for it, I'm saying how it would end in the Old Testament.
