He's saying it's to save money. I think it's so he has more soldiers here to attack peaceful protesters. Trump has never made much of a secret of his desire to be a brutal strongman dictator.
Now I read he's deploying the NATIONAL GUARD for his fucking rally. for his hitleresque, deadly fucking rally.
I think my BP just inched up a few notches and as I write I'm in the virtual waiting room for my doctor appointment.
thoughts? Sometimes I fear I'm going over the edge of paranoia, but I never conceived of how bad he is even though I knew he would be a catastrophe as president. Stealing babies, caging them (now they're poisoning them with disinfectant), alienating every single ally we have, the corruption and the way it continues unstopped. No, I didn't know it would be this bad.
Anyhow. talk me down if you can, or tell me I'm not crazy. Thanks DU

to my mind it's a first degree murder and i feel unsatisfied with a 2nd degree charge.
Ellison News Conference
And I'm wondering if they could not charge him with 1st degree murder and give the jury an option to convict on 2nd degree?
I'm not a lawyer, I don't live in MN but anyone with any kind of expertise in this area if you have an answer, thank you.

you know what's giving me hope today? All the white protesters. This may be a watershed.
