Is martial law next?

@Bernard said in Is martial law next?:

Anything to divert attention away from Musk and what he knows.

One has to wonder what information the DOGErs managed to dig up that could make for suitable blackmail material.

I'm wondering if Musk will reveal how he stole the election for Trump. Get out the popcorn!

[pique]

Well, on second thought, no, he wouldn't do that, since he'd end up being prosecuted himself.

This is very reminiscent of what Trump did in Portland in response to the BLM demonstrations. Unfortunately, it was quite effective in controlling the narrative.

I’m old enough to remember Kent State.

We never learn.

Exactly

I recall Trump(CF) didn't call in the National Guard when his supporters stormed the Capitol Building in 2021.

I saw the Governor plans to sue him.

Immediately after I saw a video of an Australian reporter being shot in the leg.

Yikes.

The reporter video.

That is the LAPD, not the National Guard. That is Mayor Bass's responsibility. She is silent. Her police are still police, with all the pathologies ingrained in American policing at present.

I know politicians often think they have to balance interests using a very fine scale, but this is the time when she should stare down her chief of police and say, essentially, that officer is fired and will be investigated. That firing is now, not after a six month "sweep it under the rug" investigation. But saying something like that takes more guts than most politicians can manage.

More lack of planning by the administration. This deployment is all for show….another TrumPotemkin village….
