I'm sure they have great power. Legislatively, and even up to impeachment. Now get McConnel onboard.

They will not turn on Trump- electoral disaster for them. And they do like their Entitlements

Impeach a president for upholding the law? Good luck with that.

Just use some selective lethal violence and the demonstrators will melt away?
 
Chomsky said:
I dunno', Bodhi. While that's a tough one, I've still got to say 'no'. I don't agree with using the military against the citizenry, and I won't let the ends justify the means. We either stand right, or we don't. No military acting against the citizens. We police ourselves.

People that loot warehouses, burn police cars and attack people en mass for whatever reason are not citizens and they deserve whatever comes to them. If it takes the military to end it, so be it, police are obviously sterile guardians of the peace, but if black liberals dont understand ****ting in your own backyard is not going make your life any better then perhaps they will need a little persausion.

As the conservative "The Bulwark" noted:

An awful lot of Trump’s defenders in conservative media appear to be shocked by what is happening right now in America.

But I’m kind of curious. What did they think was going to happen?

The president has a real job. His words have real consequences. Electing someone to that position who has no compunction about stoking racial tensions and a history of incendiary, violent, racist rhetoric—and totally uninterested in even the idea of national unity—was always a ticking time bomb.

None of this is to absolve the looters and rioters—they should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. But no one should be surprised that we’ve gotten to this point.

LOL they tried and failed. With the current situation more rational people are inclined to look to Trump to clean up this mess.

"This mess"? You mean police violence against black people?

Wrong (as well as a false question by you). The mess I'm referring to is the near terroristic acts committed by the thugs you love.

Police shootings on blacks pales in comparison to black on black crime.

Oh, okay, ignore the police shootings then. Got it. Vote Republican! :roll:

A handful of isolated police shootings involving blacks versus the staggering amount of black on black crime (yeah keep ignoring that!).

How many black people in Chiraq died this week before the blacks started rioting?

I am sure there are many startled readers of all Political stripes that were not aware of this

Noted that Congress must if the Act invoked be informed every 14 days if extended.

Does Congress have the power to override Trump?

JANFU:

I honestly don't know but given that half the Congress has shielded President Trump from the other half, no questions asked, I find it difficult to see how a divided Congress could stop a rogue president misusing the US Armed Forces. Sorry, I have no answers to your question.

Cheers and be well.
