Trump Has Long Been Itching To Use The Military On American Streets


He looks more like a chaw and spitoon sort of guy. Maybe snuff, he does have that lower lip puff out.

Oh and before any one brings up the Mexican Flags, when I lived in and around the LA area in the 60s and 70s, they were a common sight reflecting the pride Hispanic Angelinos have in their heritage. And after all, the full name of that place, originally, was “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río Porciúncula”

So, can’t speak for others, but they don’t concern me at all.

It reminds me of that Sheriff Arpaio character. Dressing like a central American dictator in order to violate the human rights of central Americans.

I believe this instruction is listed first in the Dictator’s Handbook.
Well maybe second, just behind getting some military looking garb. Have to look the part so the people know you mean business.

A great visualization from Amanda Shendruk and Catherine Rampell on the people Trump doesn’t want to exist:

It is my opinion Trump will be issuing a chart similar to the below to all troops activated to fight the “protests”. The chart will be annotated with the likely hood you will get in trouble for shooting a person of that shade:

Anything greater than 355 no problem. 230-334 possible issues. 222 thru 122 likely no issues, 120 or less do not shot unless directly threatened.

Terry Moran’s sin was providing very cogent analysis, saying the quiet parts out loud.

And, nothing shows how far our national media has failed than this censoring of what was simply astute analysis.

" A former acting vice chief of the National Guard Bureau told Fox News: “This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Well, that guy won’t get the lucrative Faux on air consultant gig any more.

In related news, ABC cans analyst Terry Moran for sharp and insightful analysis.
