We Live In Hope

I see Trump as telling somebody else “Go ahead,” but he doesn’t want to be responsible for the fallout. “I’d do it if I were him” easily turns into “But I’m not him. It turned out bad? Huh. Maybe he shouldn’t a done it.” Never gonna happen. Trump has already left that responsibility with his underlings. The sign on his desk reads “The buck goes in my pocket. How it got there, I can’t say.”
Every governor -- red or blue -- should reject this outrageous overreach.

There’s a lot of hyperbole out there. This isn’t that.

This is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism that threatens the foundation of our republic.

We cannot let it stand.
Meanwhile, Trump is declaring victory and leaving the field.

I can see the trial court tossing it for mootness (if the troops are withdrawn). I can see the Supremes ( well, 6 of them) saying “Whatever the [right] President wants.”

Who da fuck knows?

In the meantime, protests in support of LA may actually be happening:
