Certainly the Trump regime are. LAPD are trained and regularly used for crowd control and protest dispersal. The guard isn’t. And for sure the Marines have no clue about policing. I think LAPD is choosing a 1st amendment violation as the le

It’s bait. People who protest should protest at city hall or someplace other than where Trump is putting the bait. Trump wants images of confrontation. He wants escalation. Mark Esper, Trump’s SECDEF in his 1st term, said Trump ordered prot

The delusional conspiracy theory Trump won the 2020 election, in order to justify January 6 violence and then pardoning those criminals as his first act as POTUS redux. Trump sent a mob to assassinate the vice-president of the United States

I think do nothing except vote is a trap. It shows how weak our political immune system is that people think it's only about elections. Call or write your Congresscritter. Concisely express your concerns. Seriously short. Someone liste

The founders understood power. Their solution to monarchy was polyarchy, defined by a written constitution. A contract. Law. A republic is an empire of laws, not of men. And the oath of office, 5 USC 3331, is to support and defend the Const

John Adams said the Constitution was intended for a moral people. The text isn't self enforcing, it takes people who will support and defend it. It may be we're out of virtue and don't deserve the Constitution anymore.
