The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Why not start with "abolish slavery?" Or with "end Jim Crow?" Or with "gay marriage rights?" Why not start with any other proposal that correctly identified a clear injustice, and clearly identified the correct solution, which were also very unpopular with people who dislike solutions to injustice?

One thing Trump is proving is that most federal law enforcement is useless, just pure government waste. They can all be reallocated to stunts like this, or kidnapping workers at Home Depot, or chasing Texas Democrats, and... nothing is different. They weren't stopping/solving crimes anyway.
