Donny wants to crush Black Lives Matter with a law that fought segregation
Past presidents used the Insurrection Act to protect civil rights — not to send troops to silence dissent

Because he's a racist.

Wolffe is a good writer. For a not particularly religulous preacher's son it was galling to watch D'Rumpf mug for the camera's with a bible in his hand in front of St. John's.

Pentagon chief on shaky ground with White House after breaking with Trump over protest response

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/polit...sts/index.html

Taking a stand against fascism surely won't go over well in this White House, sadly.

Quote:
"The option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act," Esper said during a briefing at the Pentagon.

Esper also addressed the killing of Floyd, calling it a "horrible crime" and said "racism is real in America, and we must all do our very best to recognize it, to confront it, and to eradicate it."

"The officers on the scene that day should be held accountable for his murder. It is a tragedy that we have seen repeat itself too many times. With great sympathy, I want to extend the deepest of condolences to the family and friends of George Floyd from me and the Department. Racism is real in America, and we must all do our very best to recognize it, to confront it, and to eradicate it," he said.

Good luck with that prediction.
