Don't tell us your regretting your constant attacks on Biden now that you see the insanity of Trump
No, I'm not. The Democrats did terrible things. First in trying to prop up a man who was in cognitive decline and lying about his physical health. And then by not having a primary and instead putting forth a candidate who wasn't enough and they knew it.

I'm still amazed how people think candidates are not subject to objective criticism. Or parties are due unconditional support.

The nation was headed down this road either way. Just how and when was to be determined.

No one is saying that at all.

The choice is between a party which governs somewhat competently and subject to the normal rules of an advanced western democracy and the wack shit that the party currently in power is doing.

Dude, seriously?!

While Trump has claimed to have sent in the NG, there is no actual proof that he has done so nor that he has the constitutional power to do so nor that he has followed the mandatory steps for the Fed govt to deploy the NG.

This thread is more of Butler's nonsense.

Associated Press report. Trump won't be using the Insurrection Act but a lesser provision that allows the deployment to protect ICE while they do what they are doing.

Although I doubt protesters will see a distinction here.

We are going to see more of such protests and unrest in the US with the Trump administration at the helm.
In my opinion we are seeing the beginnings of a potential civil war in the US in the long term.
Unless something is done to mitigate it.
Notice how most protests in the US now default to some form of violence or vandalism.
Its been that way for a while now.

I doubt a civil war. Highly. I think you will see civil unrest similar to the 60's where a confluence of immigration protests, a recession, the present political leadership, civil rights violations, and various policy decisions will come to a head over the next few summers. A lot will depend on how bad the economy gets. If people feel they have nothing to lose then that's when it can get dangerous.

Now there is talk of the insurrection act.
Which he refused to use on J6, of course.

I agree. And it's nothing surprising in the wake of the BLM demos and the street violence in Portland and Seattle in the early 2020's.

The US is a powder keg waiting to blow.

Look for Trump cutting all Federal Aid to CA and the Blue States blocking transfer payments to the Feds as another interesting development.

California is probably financing four or five red states alone. They have the edge.
