I read it. I searched for other info on 10.
I even checked what fact check said.
It's right back to what I already said. It is ambiguous, vague. I dont know.
It should be made concrete one way or the other to settle things for the future.
This is twice I have said this about title 10. If you ask 5 more times, my answer will be the same.
So stop yelling at me or I might cry. CRYBABY

I have yet to figure out how an electronic screen can yell? But, I know children come up with some fantastical ideas, this must be one of them.

Trump's protest suppression tactic backfires as 'No Kings' events mushroom after L.A. confrontations
Rachel Maddow reports on the planning of a massive protest event called "No Kings" scheduled for Saturday, June 14th, overshadowing Donald Trump's theatrical military parade, and marking a new peak in anti-Trump activism.

It is not vague. We will know relatively soon as the courts have it as it should be.

Reads pretty direct to me.

Now, maybe Title 10 is unconstitutional.

We will find out.

No ideas, no skills: Maddow rips panicking Trump for rushing to military last resort in L.A.

Rachel Maddow points out that the most important story of our era is not what Donald Trump is trying to do, but what the American people will allow him to do. Maddow notes that pushback works against Trump's authoritarian overreach, and the fact that Trump skipped ahead to the last resort of calling in the military against protesters in Los Angeles is a sign of his weakness, his lack of ideas, and his lack of political skills to turn his plummeting popularity around.

Dr. Phil was on the job too! Embedded with ICE during the raids. trump's made for TV immigration show.

CNN

As federal agents prepared to fan out in Los Angeles for a controversial immigration crackdown, the officers were greeted by a familiar face: Dr. Phil McGraw.

The television personality and his camera crew were on hand before and after the raids that took place on Friday and triggered several days of street protests.

McGraw was there “to get a first-hand look at the targeted operations,” according to his conservative TV channel, MeritTV.

McGraw also had “exclusive” access to Trump’s border czar Tom Homan, a spokesperson for the channel said. The two men sat down for taped conversations about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement efforts both “the day before and day after the LA operation.”


The TV personality and Homan were also together at the Homeland Security Investigations field office in L.A. on the morning the raids began.

McGraw’s presence on the ground in L.A. reinforces the made-for-TV nature of Trump’s immigration crackdown.

You have essentially described pretty much every riot.

My view of an attack is a bit different. An attack (as in assault on a place) was colored by military training.

I don’t disagree that what the 1/6 folks did was wrong and deserved significant consequences… but treating it as a military incursion is flat out silly.

It was done in a matter of hours and the perpetrators rounded up and arrested. More of them were arrested and tried than were for fireboming a government building in Minneapolis, which was significantly more violent than 1/6.

In my mind, 1/6 was handled appropriately at least until Trump started handing out pardons.

I’d be happy if the LA issue was handled by arrests and forced ending of the violence in 24 hours by the California LE agencies.

Here is the similarities- the chief executive of the government involved is not doing their job, and is interfering with law and order.

And I think your whitewashing.

1/6 was an attempted coup third world style. Everyone knew congress was in session, that's why the mob was there. The mob violently attacked the Capitol and violently gained entry to get to the Congress.

I can only guess what they would have done had they been able to get their hands on Pelosi or some of the other liberal "villians" but as I've said before, were I in charge I'd of forcefully made sure none of the mob got anywhere close.

Whitewashing is such a mild and polite word. Roll Eyes

There is one most significant dissimilarity.

Trump didn't call the events on 1/6/21, before and after, an insurrection. Instead quite the flip/spin side, with congress GOPer help. And importantly his supporters bought it. Thus, the election itself in 2024 could be viewed as an insurrection, profoundly based on one foremost factor - lies. Who would have thunk that possible in a nation where such supporters say they value freedom and free will?

And Trump wants very much to call protests, challenging his regime's authority now, insurrection and quelling by force it and future attempts or shows. And again, his supporters will buy it, perhaps even the complicit whitewashers now.

OK. Let's consider what facts you might be leaving out, perhaps for the sake of narrative.

Deployment of Marines against citizen civilians has long been established as no-no.

So, what's the point of mobilization if not deployment?

It's good TV maybe?

POTUS/fascist reality show pawns?

As all the history shows us, courts eventually clash with leaders and people’s representatives and will get ugly at different point
It’s simply history again and human nature where even courts can get tyrannical because even laws are subjects to individual interpretations

Lets discuss those gallows, shall we? So, you think that some group of insurrectionists, was actually allowed to construct a gallows, on or around the capitol mall? You don't think maybe that a capitol cop might have wandered over to ask what they were doing?

Amateur false flag my friend. It should be intuitively obvious, to even the most casual observer.

Oh Wow. I didn't expect that NARRATIVE, especially from you.

I almost don't know what to think about that, except to acknowledge your views opposing my claim that Rightists tend to attack people and property.

So, you're saying that millions of us shouldn't believe our own lying eyes, and ears?

Why not? And why would you say such a thing?

I'm pretty sure now that I underestimated how off the deep end you are. I'm now thinking this is the tip of the berg.

What you're saying is a conspiracy theory, inside a conspiracy theory, within a conspiracy, like those nesting dolls, except in this case it's nesting gremlins.

Search: the gallows in DC on 1/6/21

Results:

https://www.google.com/search?...yAcv&sclient=gws-wiz

AI Overview
During the January 6, 2021 events in Washington D.C., a makeshift gallows was constructed on the west front of the U.S. Capitol building. The gallows became a chilling symbol of the day's violence and extremism, especially as rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence". The presence of the gallows and a noose evoked a threat of physical violence.

Construction and Removal:
Video footage shows individuals moving materials for the gallows early in the morning on January 6th.

Construction began before 7 a.m., with the main structure completed in the morning and the crossbeam and orange noose added around 1 p.m., as the rioting began.

The gallows remained intact until the following morning.

After the rioters dispersed, a journalist, Michael Persson, discovered the orange noose had been cut down. He saw a young Black man cut it down, whom he believed was a good Samaritan. Persson recovered the rope and turned it over to the FBI.

Investigation and Lack of Suspects:
Despite images and video footage showing the construction, the individuals responsible for building the gallows have never been identified.

The FBI has not publicly identified any suspects in the case.

While there have been many arrests and convictions related to the Jan 6 attack, no one has been charged with playing a role in the gallows' construction.

Symbolism:
Experts say the gallows symbolized the language and beliefs of the far-right, including evoking the history of lynchings and white supremacy.

The gallows, along with the chants to "Hang Mike Pence", highlighted the intense pressure campaign against Vice President Pence and the threats against him.

The imagery of the gallows was intended to communicate a message of fear and intimidation to those seen as "traitors".

So, I ask you -

Was the Founder's concept of co-equal branches flawed from the beginning, due to historical failures or imbalance in the power structure?

The concept worked okay for about 249 years, so what's different now?

I presume from your quoted post that you believe it's the fault of the courts, or activist judiciary as Trump calls them.

Another question - have you ever considered that Trump is lying to you?

I have considered that and concluded he's lying to us all. The difference is that some believe him and some don't, believing instead that we can plainly see his lies, and thus intent.

My whole point is that no matter what, there is always a way to subvert and nobody is above that so that’s why I didn’t make it political, it’s just the way we humans are no matter the political affiliation
If everything was written in stone, SCOTUS would always be 9;0 no matter what.

Well, my guess is that's a summary view for the outcome of political polarization.

I consider the polarization as a settled fact, the result of something. I try to frame analysis in the context of cause and effect. And I look for distinctions rather than similarities.

Thinking about it now, stirred by your thoughts, I figure I've been focusing on why, or trying to understand the "something".

I think maybe I'll just continue that path.

=====================================

Back to your other post --

I'm not totally disagreeing with you about human nature, political arrangements, etc.

I'm saying that I view the Founder's idea of co-equal branches is/was a way of dealing with the flawed aspects of human nature that you sorta explain.

Their idea is an essential part of the Social Contract.

When that runs amuck as Trump is trying to do, the imbalance in the triad power structure, like a three legged stool, sags then falls.

Trump is intentionally chopping away at the other two legs of the stool.

Read up on hanging in effigy and get back to us.

It seems every time a major college football program stinks the coach has been hanged in effigy about that.

That gallows wasn’t big enough to hang a person on, I don’t think.

I agree that the chant and hanging in effigy are not polite but they are long standing political expressions in this country. Good or bad.

As to if Pence or Pelosi has been attempted to be abducted, knowing the weaponry the secret service has, it would have been an all out bloodbath for the rioters and would have been very ugly.

They marched on the Capitol and were attempting to influence their legal representatives inappropriately. If they had actually made a real attempt, it would have rightly been called civil war.

If they had gotten what they wanted, a refusal of the certification of the election, then we likely would have had a civil war unless the courts corrected it immediately- and were listened to.

I don’t think we were as close to the rule of law being thwarted as you like to imply.

I don’t think the 1/6 rioters/protestors were right, but I don’t think it rises to use of military action, either.

The similarity again between LA now and 1/6 is ineptitude at the executive level. Governor at LA, DJT at 1/6.

AI Overview
During the January 6, 2021 events in Washington D.C., a makeshift gallows was constructed on the west front of the U.S. Capitol building. The gallows became a chilling symbol of the day's violence and extremism, especially as rioters chanted "Hang Mike Pence". The presence of the gallows and a noose evoked a threat of physical violence.

Construction and Removal:
Video footage shows individuals moving materials for the gallows early in the morning on January 6th.

Construction began before 7 a.m., with the main structure completed in the morning and the crossbeam and orange noose added around 1 p.m., as the rioting began.

The gallows remained intact until the following morning.

After the rioters dispersed, a journalist, Michael Persson, discovered the orange noose had been cut down. He saw a young Black man cut it down, whom he believed was a good Samaritan. Persson recovered the rope and turned it over to the FBI.

Investigation and Lack of Suspects:
Despite images and video footage showing the construction, the individuals responsible for building the gallows have never been identified.

The FBI has not publicly identified any suspects in the case.

While there have been many arrests and convictions related to the Jan 6 attack, no one has been charged with playing a role in the gallows' construction.

I know what "effigy" means.

But do you know what "whitewash" means? Wink

And that thwarting of the Rule of Law, re 1/6, was culminated with the 2024 election and subsequent mass pardons, by a convicted criminal, of the criminals convicted and serving time re their behavior on 1/6.

And some of those SOB leaders are now suing the Fed for millions, claiming weaponization of the law against them, self-deemed patriots.

And the thwarting is still ongoing.

Lets discuss those gallows, shall we? So, you think that some group of insurrectionists, was actually allowed to construct a gallows, on or around the capitol mall? You don't think maybe that a capitol cop might have wandered over to ask what they were doing?

Amateur false flag my friend. It should be intuitively obvious, to even the most casual observer.


A Capitol cop would have to be industrial strength stupid to even think of walking over to that mess.

The Los Angeles cops have a well-deserved reputation for badassedness.
If the feds get out of line they may find themselves in a local jail eating stale burritos.

Sorry for the delayed response, been out shooting my new PRS rifle. Man, what a nice piece.

So, we are only believe our lying eyes and ears when the narrative fits?

When Nancy Pelosi admits it was her fault for not making the call, you stated that "she really didn't mean it" or whatever your words were? We can only trust our ears and eyes when the left tells us it's ok?

And why can't you even question the construction of the gallows? It seem rudimentary to me that building an actual functioning gallows, on or around the capitol mall, might raise suspicion from the feds? Or a local cop? or a reporter?

I was raised and ran my business to always question everything.

If it was allowed to be build because the cops were afraid to approach, that's not very effective law enforcement.

So do the California taxpayers pay up to repair the burned and looted businesses, destroyed vehicles, overtime for clean up, stuff like that, etc? I have always wondered since there have been many instances of riots and mass destruction there and it is allowed to go on.

As I explained, it wasn't Pelosi's call. And those who had the authority, the Chief, did make the call but didn't get timely results because of stalling, the reason for which I don't know. I know what was said in the public sphere only.

Why should I question the construction of the gallows? The record of known facts clears that up sufficiently IMO. In your previous post as I read it you just denied that it even existed. THAT's a narrative and it's false. It existed, whether functional or not, and it served a symbolic purpose. I never made the claim that it was functional. For one thing, if the perpetrators had actually captured Pence or Pelosi, zip-tied them and dragged them to a symbolic hanging, we both know how that would have played out in the capture and a mock or real hanging.

Swat.

BTW, did you see the pictures of that guy running around with a bundle of zip ties presumably to be used for handcuffs? What do you figure his intent was? Do think that was a one-off, or part of a team, premeditated? Maybe you think the zip-ties were just symbolic?

There is a line, fine or distinct, between questioning or skepticism, and jumping to conclusions stimulated by bias. IMO, you crossed the line into conspiracy theory.

You say: "It seem rudimentary to me that building an actual functioning gallows, on or around the capitol mall, might raise suspicion from the feds? Or a local cop? or a reporter?"

It also seems basic to me as well.

However, the difference in my approach to that hanging question (pun intended) compared to yours, is that not knowing the why, I let it dangle. But you fill the void with speculation throwing suspicion where it may or may not belong, and it serves as a deflection, and it's part of a blame-shifting Rightist narrative fed to you top down.

We both know why it was built, but not by whom. Certainly it wasn't the cops, reporter or Fed. The most benign take on it is that it was for symbolism. But that may be because they didn't catch Pelosi or Pence, etc., as intended.

And, as I remember reading the sections of the gallows were built off-site, and the segments were brought in and assembled. In which case the only tools needed on-site were impact screw drivers and some screws. I'll let you speculate how they got all that past security. Perhaps you have a definitive answer?

Maybe it was our lying eyes after all?

I have not seen any level of extreme violence before President Trump invoked Tittle 10 to federalize the state guard and sending troops.

No, I have seen this President lie to us and convince millions of destructive falsehood in an attempt to destroy our constitutional democracy. Inmate than a couple ways, he succeeded.


No, I do not take it in faith President Trump has complied with Federal law to federalize a state guard to mobilize in a state. In fact, the more I read, the more I am believing he has not.
