Use of the " BORTAC" (Border Patrol Tactical Unit) will backfire, and aready has..

[Stuart G]

..The article from ..."The Nation" was not to be publicized..This is the top news now..But more important,
as Trump tries to defend this, arresting non violent people, Trump will pay a price he has not counted on.
I believe that this will activate republicans who despise Trump to come forward and oppose him..
...I am talking about leaders of the Republican Party who have kept quiet and said nothing. Why? This
behavior by a President is clearly against the Constitution of the United States. Using the Border Petrol
in this way, will focus news on this as opposed to the virus. An act by Trump, clearly against the law, without
cause, will be it. Of course many will disagree, but this is the opening that some Anti-Trump Republicans
have been waiting for. Trump is despised by both sides. This Trump will try to defend, but he can't.
Trump has made an error that could bring opposition from people he counted on for support.
...Donald Trump is too selfish and stupid to have any idea about this. He thinks he can get away with this, like
other events, but he won't. That is my opinion. Just an opinion....Friday July 17..Yes, of course this could be
totally wrong, but it is a "General Discussion Forum" and this is ..Current Events.

1. Just proclaim it loud and clear that with this precedent, trump has set the stage for Biden to TAKE

YER GUNS! And round up KKKristians and march them off to them FEMA camps! And bring homosekshuls to yer house and you have to rent them rooms!

3. I'm sure TLP will fan the flames.

It’s just too easy to super-impose images of brown shirts and end with “When will they come for you”

4. So far, nothing has upset the Republican bootlickers. But, you just never know...

Nixon came off the biggest electoral victory in history and walked into Watergate. When Goldwater and a couple of others told him it was over, he listened.

Who is our Goldwater?

5. I really don't know. Maybe from somewhere we do not expect. I just hope I am correct.

But I do believe someone will come forward, and take center stage away from Trump. We will see, and of course I could be totally wrong, and that is OK. It ain't the first time and won't be the last time..

6. Why would Republicans suddenly begin to respect the law? The Senate's Kangaroo court...

...displays Republican contempt for the rule of law.

Why would any of them change now?

7. Turns out, the Deep State is alive and well and abusing citizens rights in the Trump Adminisration..

Will the moron's who vote for Trump and eat QAnon shit comprehend this? Probably not.

10. using a resource that has become inured to rounding people up

against it's own citizens, makes sense if you want a dictatorship

12. I don't know about Republicans...they are pretty scummy people themselves.

But, the protesters are young...one is in the hospital after needing surgery for a fractured skull and basically his face when he was shot point blank in the face...he is bleeding from his brain. This sort of assault on young people will bring out the parent brigade...some who voted for Trump...the Moms in particular will destroy him...he jumped the shark and will pay for what he has done in November. And there are GOP types who don't think feds forced on cities is a good idea either some of whom will vote Biden in November.

13. People from all over are loudly pushing back on this

It was so timely that Rachel had Mary Trump on, and Mary said trump will back down when he is stood up to, like most bullies.

We should have done that from the get-go, I am happy to see so many are doing it now.

14. Kick for the post and the discussion.
