..... when he says, " Legally, it's all they can do" with reference to the "Guarding of Federal buildings", in fact it is in guarding ANY Federal building or Federal property.
When it comes to Local Policing and the Maintenance of Law and Order in a State, City or Town that's primarily in the hands of the State Governors and the Mayors. BUT when it comes to the breaking of Federal Laws that is when the Federal Authorities, such as the FBI, can ACT UNDER THE ORDER AND DIRECTION OF THE PRESIDENT WITHOUT ANY PERMISSION REQUIRED FROM A GOVERNOR OR MAYOR
In fact, at "this stage in the proceedings" this is what the President needs to do much more of. He should be sending in the Federal Law Officers to investigate/arrest those individuals breaking ANY FEDERAL LAW AND MARCHING THEM OFF to stand before a Federal Judge, and when found guilty be sent off to a FEDERAL PRISON which is FAR REMOVED FROM THE SENTENCE AND INCARCERATION THAT THEY WOULD RECEIVE FROM SOME WISHY-WASHY, LOWER COURT NINCOMPOOP. There would be NO MORE +/-$100 bail and back out onto the streets again !!!
NO TWO-TIME CRIMINAL PUNK EVER WANTS TO GO TO A FEDERAL PRISON, THAT'S FOR SURE !!
You say, " Personally I think Trump should either go all-in or go home. Just guarding federal buildings isn't working."
Yes, that doesn't sound like much. And, Yes, there is more that he can do. He could send in the NATIONAL GUARD because he has the AUTHORITY TO DO THAT, seeing as ......

..... BUT, now is not the time to do that. Donald Trump is giving the Radical Leftist/Marxist/Socialist Democratic Party leadership MORE AND MORE ROPE TO HANG THEMSELVES WITH.
It is becoming MORE AND MORE BLATANTLY OBVIOUS TO MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHAT THESE Demented Democrats are actually up to ..... The contrast in THE LACK OF LAW AND ORDER between the Democratic Party states and those managed, to a large extent, by Republican Governors IS THERE FOR ALL TO SEE.
The support and the comment(s) given and made by the Democratic Party leadership, e.g. Joe "Dementia" Biden and the rest of those Ars*holes, TO DEFUNDING THE POLICE AND/OR "DIVERTING FUNDS" FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, is striking home to Americans, and AMERICANS WILL NEVER COUNTENANCE OR ALLOW THEIR COUNTRY TURNING INTO A LAWLESS 3rd WORLD DISASTER BY NOT HAVING THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTIES ADEQUATELY PROTECTED BY DEDICATED POLICE MEN AND WOMEN.
Donald Trump knows this. He is fully aware of the Tactics and Modus Operandi of the Radical Marxists.
This is an AGE-OLD TACTIC of theirs. They encourage and SURREPTITIOUSLY, from "behind the scenes", support and "finance" UNREST AND LAWLESSNESS. And when NECESSARY, LAW ABIDING ACTION is taken against the Perpetrators they immediately Screech "TOTALITARIANISM", "RACISM", "DICTATORSHIP", "AUTHORITARIAN TACTICS", etc, etc, ...... Ad Nauseam.
And this is EXACTLY WHAT THE DEMENTED, MARXIST-INSPIRED, DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP is now doing. They wish to portray themselves as the "Saviours" of the "Downtrodden" population "suffering" at the hands of that "Evil(?)" Donald Trump .....
Of course, those F*cking Ars*hole Democrats DID F*CKALL when the "Downtrodden" population had their HOMES, BUSINESSES, PROPERTIES DESTROYED AND LOOTED BY RAMPAGING, LAWLESS ANTIFA/BLM MOBS ..... ...... But that is just "Par For The Course" when it comes to ARCH-HYPOCRITE, CONNIVING DEMENTED DEMOCRATS.
IF YOU WANT TO BEAT YOUR ENEMY, YOU FIRST HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HIM AND HOW HE OPERATES. AND DONALD TRUMP NOW KNOWS FULL WELL HOW THE ENEMIES OF PATRIOTIC, HARD WORKING, PEACE-LOVING AMERICANS ARE NOW OPERATING. |
