    It seems to me to be the perfect opportunity for Trump to barge in to Governor Newson's California to cause chaos, with the end result being to make the situation worse. All instigated by the administration by ICE agents swooping down on undocumented immigrants.

    We are learning that ICE agents swarmed the Home Depot parking lot, arresting any and all, citizens and undocumented workers alike. The L.A. police force (9,000 people) was handling the demonstrations (300 people) that followed, when first the National Guard and then the US Marines were brought in by the president for no apparent reason other than a show of seemingly unlimited power and a distraction from the failed trade wars.

    Update: NYT today:
    Trump Calls Protesters in Los Angeles ‘Insurrectionists’
    The description could become a rationale for invoking the 1807 Insurrection Act, which would give the president broad authority to use the military to deal with violence.

    This is precisely what he wants. Full and absolute power. It's a disgrace.

    This is how opposition senators are treated in the USA today.

    Only when those senators are not republicans. Then, always.
