Talk about a brutal self-inflicted injury. We were worried about the local cops and military backing MAGA, and the unprofessional and reprehensible behavior of the ICE Apes has driven them to our side.
I'm sure MAGA was counting on ICE to intimidate people away from the polls in swing states in November. Now I think there is a pretty good chance that the local cops and National Guard will be there to ensure the polls are safe. If nothing else, it gives governors the excuse to make sure the polls are strongly secure.
National guard can be commandeered first half plausible excuse his scotus will take, federalized by federals, other states brought in, etc. Even active duty military with cause as scotus sees fit.
What the feds know, they executed two white middle class people under false pretense, slandered them to excuse it, and saw the state not file murder charges, and not do anything in retaliation. Forced off the murder scene by a handful of feds, ceding the 10th amendment to transparent slander. They know their part of the population supports murdering middle class do gooder whites. They are heroes, finally.
There is nothing to celebrate, the precedents are set. Dems will not even defend their own people in their own state with irrefutable video evidence. Nevermind convicting, they refuse to even charge.
I feel and share nearly all of your well deserved contempt for the Democratic party.
But this is a W. National Guard is not with the cops in Minny. Maybe that won't be the case in Oklahoma or San Francisco, but it is here.
Take the W, thank these Guards for solidarity, keep that blowtorch aimed at the DNC.
At least that's my opinion.
My old PCP was also in the national guard for my state, and he was a good guy, and a PA. I think when it comes to state level national guard, Trump and his MAGAt financers have seriously misread the room, and it will probably end up tying their own noose.
Ol' Smedley Butler shoulda taught em all about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler
