antifa talking him into it?

Add this to three suspicious fires today. Amazon warehouse, a ship off of FL that firefighters happened to be inspecting at the time(firefighters injured - I imagine they failed the inspection) and some Cali forest fires, two in custody.

But hey, the riots have calmed down a bit /s

Makes me wonder if the whole million protesters/rioters in DC thing is a fake out. Hey, look over there. Might be an interesting weekend.

weekend

5 months
and maybe another four years

Yes, according to some retired generals and admiral(s), there is nothing to see here except "peaceful protests" and any attempt at the federal level to stop the NATION WIDE riots/looting/arson would be unconstitutional.

Historically...

Past presidents have invoked the Insurrection Act 19 times, both with the request of the Governor of the affected state, and without their request. Note that every one of those 19 previous invocations of the act, were due to violence or disorder in a single city or single state/territory. President Trump invoking the act due to NATION WIDE violence, looting, arson and depravity of civil rights is certainly lawful and warranted.

Notice something about the incidents where the states did NOT ask for help, but the feds went in anyway? ALL having to do with race/race relations.

If the federales haven’t quietly added security at critical infrastructure, they’re idiots.

But Trump is the sort of guy who would ask the question, just hope there are people in his circle who can give an honest answer.
