W. Bush had used the military to help regain control after Rodney King was killed in Los Angeles.
“President Trump has done more to help our minority brothers and sisters in three years than anyone in the last 50. Ask the black pastors. Ask the leaders if the black colleges and universities. He got them funded. Ask them about the prison reform which ended the draconian sentences imposed on young black men by the laws enacted by Biden and his hacks. You need to bone up on your homework and stop listening to Uncle Leon,” Dowd continued.
He went on to criticize Mattis for saying nothing about “ugly, hate filled, disgraceful” comments made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and concluded by asking whether Mattis’ anger was “borne of embarrassment” for his own failures.th the blood and guts of young Marines.” “

Yeah Walt, let him know when those convictions come in.
Actually, with so much at stake, the Deep State will fight for and with the cabal with everything they got….especially so this current administration. The Swamp is huge and there are a lot of career personel that have their livihood, life, reputation, and necks on the line. And that don’t count the media, the forces of Soros and the globalists and the PACs, America hating TDS advocacy groups, Obama’s groups, Hillary ‘s pawns, and the movers and shakers funding it all. The Bureaucrats are blocking Trump at every turn as we speak. Wrey could have been fired along time ago.
The good news is when the FBI Boston Office became so corrupt that the FBI Boston Division were on the Mob payroll and even framed an innocent man and knowing he was innocent, put him in jail for life for a hit done by an FBI informant..on tape. It looked like nothing could ever clean the place up. Mueller always showed up at the convicted parole board hearings back in the day to block his release. Their own informative had done a hit for the mob and the FBI framed and convicted an innocent man. A small side note is the FBI chief in Boston had not been cashing his paychecks, leaving them in stack in his bottom drawer because he was living fine off the mob money.
Anyway, the FBI top brass quietly looked around to see who they had that could clean up Boston. Only one name came up, a man of impeccable integrity; John Durham. It was John Durban that moved to an FBI office in a nearby town (not Boston where the action and good restaurants and fun times are)…all business, has a job to do. He methodically built an ironclad case against the Boston FBI rats at the top. He is the one who secretly interviewed the secretary and found out about the uncashed paychecks and quietly brought them down. One in a hundred, maybe one in a thousand.
So Walt, that is the good news. The bad news is Durham is methodical, so he takes a long time. Durham and Barr want it right, not expedient.
Meanwhile, the cases brought against those indicted by Mueller are quietly shrinking. The Russia troll farm company? Dropped. Flynn…well not so quiet and still an open question. Obama’s previous lawyer for not filling out the proper form for working for a foreign government? Not guilty. Oh, that charge was the same one as they had against Flynn (besides lying), dropped as well. What? Started off a darn near 30. :). They got Manafort for tax evasion, someone Trump never met before he volunteered to run the campaign. Whipped! And they got Roger Stone on small stuff, after he refused to commit perjury and lie about Trump. Oh my.

I just want everyone here to know that considering the circumstances I am totally in favor of the President of the United States unilaterally ordering active duty US military personnel into the streets to battle protesters. I’m totally in favor of militarized federal agency personnel from the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security and US Bureau of Prisons showing up without any identifying marks on their uniforms or any way to track who and what agency they work for showing up on the streets.
This after all is what we trained for in Jade Helm? Right?

What a question to ask George. I don’t support the threatened or widespread use of the active duty US military for domestic law enforcement duties under any circumstances.
In the case of hurricane Katrine national guard troops were used for disaster relief efforts…rescuing people, not law enforcement…and were identifiable from their unit and name patches. In the case of The 1992 LA riots national guard troops were federalized to assist law enforcement in a limited circumstance at the request of the Mayor of LA and Governor of California.
In the recent case of Washington D.C. troops were not requested by the Mayor of D.C; and were deployed in the case of federal agencies without the request of the Mayor and without identifying unite or personal patches.
The hypocrisy I am pointing out is that I don’t see any posters here objecting to that use of agency and military personnel while they have been highly critical of the same or similar agencies actions in other cases, such as the Bundy standoffs.
The case I would make is that the POTUS does not have the constitutional authority to use troops or agencies this way whether under the current administration or a future administration…..period; thus I would oppose it 20 years from now as well.
But y’all don’t get to have it both ways…you don;t get to bitch about federal overreach 364 days of the year then remain silent on it when President Trump over reaches.
