TRUMP testing the waters...a dictator deciding IF he could powergrab the protectors of the Constitution....IF our military leaders were malleable,
and could be MANIPULATED....much to his chagrin, the command was called out and cancelled....THAT WAS A SIGNAL....the king's demands are
being dismissed...watch what happens,as he continues to hunker down BEHIND his wonderful WHITEHOUSE WALL.....
It will be interesting to see if these demonstrations continue all Summer or quickly die out. Will the left wing of the Democrat Party demand that police departments get defunded? Will police departments decide they have had enough from mayors and city councils who refuse to defend them? Will they just stop enforcing laws, especially in minority neighborhoods? If the police withdraw and ANTIFA continues to loot and burn down African American neighborhoods, will the GOP be seen as a savior to the anarchy of Democrat cities like Baltimore and Detroit?

Minneapolis has decided to replace the police department with something they call “Community Solutions”. No details as to what that is yet but my guess is that it will be as effective at protecting citizens as Obama was at saving me $2500 a year on my health care. Even the most hardcore liberals have to start wondering what these people are smoking.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
Surprised to see Trump digging in on the base renaming thing. You think he would jump on that to rename the Confederate bases after CMOH winners. That way he could have big ceremonies/rallies in the southern states where they are located.
