I mostly agree with this post. As I clearly said, I don't want Trump to call in the army. I would prefer that the Governors and mayors had dealt with this up front. But how much death and destruction has to go unchecked before we're stating that Trump should have acted sooner? Is it 10 deaths? 20? $1B in property damage?
As for your AOC analogy, her use would not be in compliance with the law as its written. Trump's use today would be. That's a bigger difference than the inching of precedence.
We’ll just have to disagree on the use of precedent. Believe me I hope you are right and I am wrong!
This is very hard to say because it makes me appear heartless, and I’m not. But it seems to me the onus of “how many have to die” falls on the local government, not the feds. I’m well aware that the mayors and governors and media will cry like little bitches and point their pudgy fingers at Trump, and insist they are helpless. But they’ll do that anyway. If he insinuates himself into the daily dealings of putting down the riots he will be blamed for every injury, every broken pane of glass, every death from that point on.
It’s in the Democrat playbook to make everything his fault no matter what he does. But have no fear, he would not be without support. Rush and Sean and Fox have proven to be more than capable of broadcasting his side.
