Newsom: The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior.

3. This is a strategic move by Trump to go after California, the largest Liberal state.

If he succeeds there, the other states will fall more quickly. All of this will be done to neutralize any impact from the midterms. We may about to see military shock and awe by Trump (by whomever is pulling his strings because Trump is a useful puppet).

4. Hard to grasp that we aren't seeing stronger outrage from media, pundits, elected leaders. Can't believe

there are still 'normal' headline stories about Eva Longoria and blue cheese, the French Open, summer dresses, Katie Miller, etc. There are plenty of mild, even-handed MSM stories about the deployments...none I've seen that rise to the moment in analysis. Is it really insurrection? Was there serious violence in LA that demands the use of federal military force? Has the WH lied before about issues and are they lying now? Could this deployment be meant to chill protests on dear leader's birthday? How awful were the ICE actions in LA that inspired the protests? Would it be insurrection on CCN's part if CNN reported accurately and with criticism of the WH? Now that the word insurrenction has been used and military force threatened, what is the potential for martial law?

I'm not seeing MSM coverage commensurate with the developing crisis. Not seeing stories about emergency SCOTUS injunctions to stop deployment of military within the US, not seeing stories about congresspersons from both sides of the aisle joining together in LA to make a point, not seeing past presidents' statements in opposition to fabricating reasons to deploy brown shirts, not seeing other cities' mayors indicating outrage and describing potential tragic events about to occur. Probably because these stories don't exist...which is part of the point.

Sorry for the rant...wish I could say I feel better now.

5. Sounds like a sacred bunch of morons.

6. Certainly all of us here knew that was coming.

As horrifying and shocking as all this is...

none of it is surprising.
