    The fascist (national socialist) party is best mirrored by the GOP, that gives big welfare hand outs to the corporations and itty bitty handouts to the despised workers.

    I wasn't aware that Mattis is a constitutional scholar. He is a disgruntled former employee to be sure but a constitutional scholar?

    "General Mattis told you today who is your enemy."

    Rosenstein has testified. McCabe is next. There must now be as much diversion and ruse as possible by the members of the club, such as Mattis, to try to save those higher up in the club.

    You ain't in the club. I ain't in the club. Trump ain't in the club. That's why Trump was elected.

    Can you tell me about any handouts to corporations? I'm not aware of any. As far as I can tell the GOP is against socialism. I think you have been reading hard left blogs.

    The job of the Secret Service, among other things is to see to the security of the president. I didn't see Trump putting up the fences. Did you? Are you angry at the Secret Service for doing their job?

    There were no federal forces deployed in Washington. Those troops were national guard sent by state governors. It is illegal to deploy federal military on U.S. soil.

    Your partisanship is on full display. It isn't pretty.

    He is your enemy because you think of him that way. He is not my enemy because I don't think of him that way.

    It is in no wise illegal to deploy the regular military on US soil. Been done four times in the past.

    Correct, no regular military were posted in Washington, just posted on standby nearby as a last resort if things had turned out worse than expected. Completely legal, and a very wise thing to do.

    It is illegal. The only law that allows it is insurrection act. What we have here is not an insurrection.

    I think it was unnecessary and allowed the left to claim the troops had been deployed. Bad idea.

    82nd Airborne was ready to jump into Dallas on 11-22-1963 before dusk, just in case.

    Read it in several books long time ago, when I still had hope that the perps could be exposed.

    That's an old myth that the idiot conspiracy film maker Oliver Stone embraced.

    Trump has no power independently in his office to deploy the military.

    The power comes from law, such as the Insurrection Act.

    His word alone is insufficient.

    I think he knows it, and I believe he wants to somehow in the moment grasp an unitary executive that has its own military power.

    God help us.

    You know I support President Trump but I don't think he is that deep a thinker.

    I think Stephen Miller and that gang are just that type of thinker.

    No question he can use the Insurrection Act.

    Congress gave the President that power.

    He has no military power invested in him by the office itself.
