AMERICA IS GETTING REALLY TIRED OF THE TRUMP BULLYING HARASSMENT & INTIMIDATION
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
From the WSJ today…
“Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Saturday he was ordering Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to use the military to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were “under siege from attack by antifa,” a loose network of antifascist protesters that Trump recently called a terror group.
“I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary,” Trump wrote, apparently referring to troops’ authority to use weapons.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement: “We stand ready to mobilize U.S. military personnel in support of DHS operations in Portland at the President’s direction.”
Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said in a statement, “The number of necessary troops is zero, in Portland and any other American city. Our nation has a long memory for acts of oppression, and the president won’t find lawlessness or violence here unless he plans to perpetrate it.”
The intimidation of states by threats of violence by the federal government continues. States’ rights are just another thing the GOP has decided to get rid of, apparently by any means necessary.
Meanwhile, it would be easier on the country if the Trump administration would just do what it promised and release the Epstein files. He’s going to run out distractions at this rate.
And the GOP Congress just looks the other way.
P.S. Shame on you Senator Cornyn for validating the Trump/DOJ revenge indictment against James Comey. Didn’t you used to be a judge? Adding your voice to make this seem like a reasonable act is demeaning to you and insulting to the law you used to uphold.
Shame on all of you who prop up this president’s grievances and abuse of his office with your words of support.
