How to rally the troops in a constitutional way! Kudos! I hope they all hear it and listen. (Or at least a majority of them.)

Sandra said...

This has nothing to do with political ideology. There is no way around the unconstitutionality of this action. Think about the countries where this would be done to the citizens. Do we really want this?

Boud said...

I'm hoping they remember and are not intimidated into illegal action. Easier recommended than done.

CheerfulMonk said...

Because the immigrants are here illegally and because some of the protestors have used violence, the kids in the National Guard and Marines shouldn't have to make the call. Unless they are called to shoot peaceful protestors. Then don't or shoot over their heads.

Sandra said...

We can hope, Boud.

Sandra said...

Cheerful, They shouldn't be there. Newsome didn't call in the National Guard and the military is not to be deployed within the boarders of the United State for any reason other than insurrection (Trump twiddled thumbs during that), protection of civil rights of individuals when the state will not, aide is natural disasters . California didn't ask for this. So much for state rights.

Borders. Can you tell I was boarded horses? 😉

I remain totally mind boggled by all of this and greatly saddened. Chaos abounds deliberately and is a major distraction to take our minds off issues with the the SAf'can and the Felon's dealings with other felonious issues, plus the party of cruelty.

Sandra said...

Denise, the new party name POC Party of Cruelty. What would the Jesus so many believe they follow think of them? We are in trouble if he can get away with deploying the military

Miss Merry said...

It makes me sick to my stomach. We are unleashing a combat unit on fellow citizens. I never in my life imagined this.

And the sh-t sho- continues...it all needs to stop...

Pixie said...

trump just continues to do as he pleases and nobody has the balls to stand up to him. He doesn't care if it's illegal. He didn't care when he was cheating on his taxes, he didn't care when he was lying to banks, he didn't care when he was cheating on his wives, and he didn't care when he was raping young women. HE DOESN'T CARE.

Our memories are short and history is forgotten. This isn't the same thing but here is a link regarding the use of 3,500 troops to dispatch protesters in Washington DC in 1932.

Hoover did this. Follow the VA links and check out the full horrifying story on the National Park Link.

Either did I Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

It does e, but how? The systems in place to stop these actions are not working. We are seeing firsthand how a system of governance which depends on the honor and integrity of those in charge collapses when all that disappears.

Sandra said...

No he doesn't, Pixie. Nor do much of the people doing his bidding.

Sandra said...

There was an open Nazi faction in the US during that time. Charles Lindberg was one of them. It was also the case in England. Luckily it did not prevail, Val. Not then, now.....?

nick said...

Yes indeed, good for him refusing to go along with the militarisation of dissent.

Sandra said...

Scary times, nick.

DeniseinVA said...

Very true! A total horror show. We seem to be going back to the 1930s don’t we?
