“It’s a mistake to deploy active duty troops inside CONUS. Something will happen, and it will absolutely be pinned on the president.”
I tend to agree, BUT, I think the optics of this are on Trump’s side. The Governors dragged their feet on getting the NG out to support local authorities. The President is making it clear that looters and arsonists will not control the streets.
Personally I far prefer the Coeur D’Alene ID approach.
Strong copy on the Idaho issue.
But don’t underestimate the power of the press on the normies. People actually still believe what they read in the papers.
Mind. Blown.
Take a hike!
Dump Esper.
So far, every single deployment of troops to quell civil unrest in the history of this coubtry has worked.
You don’t have a point.
When there is out of control anarchy in the streets and the police are unable to handle it, someone has to take charge.
Shooting some of these looters and arsonists and killers is an excellent idea.
Esper was always been wishy washy.
He needs to hand in his resignation at once or be kicked out swiftly.
Hit the road Ester.
Yeah.
Bush never fought back. He was a doormat.
Trump is the best fighter there is. He simply loves a fight.
He's been trashing Dem governors and mayors every single day for letting their cities descend into anarchy and chaos.
And the Dems have not even been able to effectively push back.
What a bunch of BS. Cabinet members serve at the president’s pleasure. What part of that is apolitical? He seems to think cabinet officers are in place to dictate policy to the White House. What a putz.
You want to be apolitical...stay the he!! out of an administration.
Please God, send our President a rational Defense Secretary.
Is everyone starting to see how deep the deep state goes? It goes well into the federal government, industry, main stream media, the military (especially Generals and Admirals) and entertainment industry.
They want you and I totally controlled or dead, folks. They lie to us, tell us everything is our fault and force us to serve them. I, for one, am done.
The criminal, leftist, democrat party run deep state needs to be dealt with.
JoMa
He’s a WEAK SISTER....OUT!! TODAY!! RESIGN BEFORE YOU’RE FIRED, GIRLY MAN! DOPE
Don’t be a TWIT.....these RIOTS are part of the COUP PLOT, but it’s entirely up to the Governors, Mayors and Local Police how to QUELL them!!
Most of these people were Christie’s recos!
Give him a cigarette and a firing squad.
You can simply look at some people and know what you need to know. Who the hell would trust someone that looked like Rosenweasal or Esper.
I guess Trump never finishes an interview with the statement, “ You ever cross me and I’ll fry your ass”. He has caused himself a lot of unnecessary
problems.
“It’s a mistake to deploy active duty troops inside CONUS. Something will happen, and it will absolutely be pinned on the president.”
In other words, it is better to bring down death and destruction on innocent people for fear of adverse political optics.
How does that differ from Antifa or BLM?
"Send the Army and get control" sounds great to a non-military person, but it's a sure path to disaster.
The Left needs to own their failed cities. Sending in the active-duty military shifts the blame for all subsequent civil breakdown to Trump.
(This does not include state National Guard units called up by governors.)
Amen. See above.
The Left needs to own their failed progressive policies, such as immediate no-bail release for looters and arsonists.
Sending the active-duty military to quell these riots gives the Left an out.
If the active-duty military can’t “fix” these failed cities (AND IT CAN’T!), then the blame for all subsequent crises will fall on TRUMP.
Let the Left own their failed cities. See meme above.
Repost: Trump is a smooth operator. He is challenging the Mayors and Governors acting on behalf of the DNC; by issuing this designation to one of the groups ALWAYS PRESENT when BLM types protest their way into rioting and looting, Trump is removing one group from the equation. Once this group of predominantly White troublemakers are gone, all that is left is the BLM and politicians predominantly Black from Police Chief to Mayor or DA to the Governor of each State.
Federal Law can be used for crossing State lines in the commission of a crime, e.g., to riot or loot, to harm people or property. Applying it only at this point publicly to the “predominantly” White Antifa it gives the DNC an out or way to save face while ending the riots. Should this fail Trump will enforce curfews using Active Duty Military taking it again out of the bag of tricks Democrats use to ensure stores and malls are closed without shoppers or employees to be hurt. There is a pattern in that most of the rioting is done after curfews are in effect.
Martial Law if used in certain cities or areas of a city again takes the legal option out of the bag of tricks Democrats use... e.g., by not enforcing laws or legal constraints upon “protesters”.
Trump will be able to show that Democrats are unable to protect and serve the public that votes them into office.
Does Trump really want to go there, and that answer is generally a No, however along the way if these actions are implemented it takes step by step control of the narrative from the politicians of the opposition DNC.
Might the Trump Administration review the official actions and communications of the public servants? Likewise, might the phone and email communications of people arrested come into play? Out of Stater’s Yes, local folk maybe depending upon the severity of the circumstance. Could the DOJ charge and try police chiefs/officers, mayors, DAs, city administrators, Governors and others who fail uphold their Oath of Office to protect the public?
