Tin Soldiers and Nixon Coming


So the response is?

No, they wanted to clear the way for the Emperor:


140 cities, with protests in (I'm gonna say) 49 out of 50 states.  20 of those states have already deployed the National Guard.  So what's the plan for tomorrow night, Mr. President?

Wait, maybe they aren't:

And that's just D.C.  The 140 other cities; what about them? Meanwhile:

How many of those protesters between the White House and the church were engaged in violence when they were hit with tear gas and flash bang grenades?

But first, the real question:  is there a plan to deploy troops in all 50 states?  It isn't clear there's even a plan to deploy MP's in D.C., even though Trump said "thousands and thousands" of troops would impose order on the city, while the DOD says 250 MP's are coming from Ft. Bragg, but with no mission yet.  What's the plan, then?  "Get 'em!"?

In a variation on the old military line, belligerence is not a plan, either.

And the hint at Kent State in the title was not an accident.  If Trump carries out his threat to invoke "I", he won't be able to say it's the governors' fault when things get worse:


No shit, Sherlock.  Whatever happens, the pain will fall on we, the people, and it may be November before we can do anything about it.  In the meantime, the caption to this picture says it all:
Yeah, that's very apparent.
