Well, he does like stirring things up. That has worked for him in the past, I don’t know if it’s gonna work for this fall election.

People like me who do not like drama at high political levels are tired of it.

I think that translates to "Everyone sane is tired of it."

And yet we're two months into nightly violence with no end in sight in Portland and a few other places. Weird huh?

As the politicians in those cities attest.... bringing in the federal goons is causing more tension and trouble. THEY ARE NOT WANTED THERE. trump has local government dictate on COVID-19, schools, etc but sticks his ugly nose in now where it does not belong. We should not have a federal military for the country. The national guard should be called to handle at the dictation of the local authority. The way it is currently trump does not even collaborate with local police. Weird, huh?

I hate to break it to you but our nation's military is Federal, and that's probably the only reason we've never been invaded. Well, that and the 2nd Amendment plus the fact that a National Defense was one of the very few reasons to have a Federal government.

I wonder why that hasn't been done? Not really, I think I know why.

The federal military is not meant to be used against our own citizens but as a national defense. As you indicated, that is why we've never been invaded.

Are you implying that the US Military has been activated against citizens?
