    That's correct. The insurrection act is another law. Now we need to figure out to convince the public that an insurrection is occurring.

    That is true. Cities burning are cities burning.

    It's amazing isn't it? It's like reality doesn't exist for them.

    Anarchists have taken a part of a city by force and are engaging in crimes. They have formed their own "government" Illegally. It is an insurrection in my book.

    YOUR "book" does not apply to the Law of the Land!

    That is as silly as saying only protestors rioted on the left.

    Then you should take it out of the box and use it every once in a while.

    Seattle’s Top Cop Passes The Buck. Says Don’t Look at Me, Abandoning Police Station Wasn’t My Idea.

    [​IMG]
    Not Her fault​

    Chief Carmen Best’s words on Thursday were an attempt to quell the anger the cops are feeling about being ordered by her to abandon the East Seattle Police Precinct on Monday, after two weeks of holding the line and being attacked by protesters.

    They were forced, by her order, to abandon the building, allowing the violent protesters who’d been amassing there for days to take over the area surrounding it.

    [​IMG]

    The subsequent village that has sprung up around it does not "allow" cops. Armed protesters patrol the encampment.

    The chief now says she didn’t agree with her own order to hand over the precinct to the mob. She now claims the order was Mayor Jenny Durkan's.

    Seattlites have the right to ask: if their chief will not stand against the mob, who will? If the police chief, of all people, won’t stand up for the rule of law, who will enforce it?

    We formed professional police to protect criminals from the hands of angry citizens responding to crimes. This city is in the process of throwing that societal advancement away.

    The Chief followed the Mayor's order.

    Take it up with Durkhan, guys.

    Your Military
    West Point grads’ letter to class of 2020 calls out one of its most powerful alumni: Esper
    ...We are concerned that fellow graduates serving in senior-level, public positions are failing to uphold their oath of office and their commitment to Duty, Honor, Country,” the letter reads, a direct criticism of Defense Secretary Mark Esper, class of 1986. “Their actions threaten the credibility of an apolitical military. We ask you to join us in working to right the wrongs and to hold each other accountable to the ideals instilled by our alma mater and affirmed by each of us at graduation...

    The military must restrain Trump's excesses.

    Right up to the moment when they escort him out of the WH.

    How about in the rest of the US? There have been several people killed by these "peaceful demonstrations".

    Yeah, aside from the rioting and violence and stupidity by the freight-car load, aside from that it's all just swell... Don't minimize the crazies. They say what they mean. This insurrection must be put down for the good of the decent people still left there.

    A claim you cannot back. I sincerely doubt the military would try a coup here. Mattis can saber-rattle but Trump holds constitutional power an ex-general does not. MacArthur got snippy on the job and wound up canned. Mattis gets ignored.

    Uh huh. And evvvvvvvrybody got cotton candy and a free pony and there were unicorns galore!.....

    Thomas Sowell said this on Thursday:

    “Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?”
