SCOTUS can take a bow for what’s happening in CA during peaceful protests. Giving Attila the Hun free rain to order the military to shoot at protesters under the protection of presidential immunity will be on them! (The six who went along with it…)
"I hope Democrats won’t play their typical role with statements about the importance of lawful protests and demonstrations of their own toughness on lawlessness. They shouldn’t take the bait and, instead, place this escalation squarely on the shoulders of Trump."
- Sadly i have no faith in this current crop of democrats, most seem most interested in keeping to the centre, not ruffling feathers, and more worried about keeping their donors and letting trump do his thing[thinking they will sweep up in the next election] i fear most of them[there are excepetions]are more content to keep out of things for the next two years..i rather think the majority of democrats will sit on their hands ,doing nothing until 2026?
I listen to you on MSNBC. I generally appreciate your commentary. I heard you say yesterday “feckless democrats” and I did not appreciate that. It is no time for democrat bashing. Glad I got the chance to voice that. Thank you.
Do other states hate California so much that they won't read the writing on the wall and know that they're next? California is a very large, rich diverse State. If we were to fall what chance is there for smaller, more vulnerable States? California needs to stand up, even if it means laying down in the streets in peaceful protest (this would be a good tactic for the Presidential doomsday parade except Trump is so bat shit crazy that he would have tanks just roll over them).
The show was a sham, a reality TV deliberate overreaction to some justified and heartfelt protests against the invasion of an ordinary, peaceful neighborhood shopping district and a parking lot where workers wait in line to get some off the books day jobs. In comes ICE in armored personnel carriers and combat gear. They start cramming people into the carriers, they tear gas, harrass and detain a community and state union leader and notable figure, they fire flash bangs, releasing smoke and confusion, followed by rubber bullets which wound but do not kill. Who, in that atmosphere could know whether live fire was meant to be lethal or not? And let it be perfectly clear that Los Angeles County has thousands upon thousands of well trained police officers, many of whom are experienced at handling problem crowds. The mayor told Trump and his eminence grise Stephen Miller NOT to bring in the Guard. So did the Governor of CA. And furthermore Charlie Kirk let the cat out of the bag by opining that all immigration from 'third world countries' be permanently banned as of now. Read: no more black and brown people need apply. Only a brain dead racist could fail to see what's happening here. Trump&Co needed to distract us from their abject failures at governing, so they have given the go-ahead to attack an anthill with weapons of war. And this is only a test run. Good luck with that.
I am deeply troubled by the lack of imagination on the part of the democrats in Congress. They need to do something. Let the younger people grab the reins. They are very capable.
We must understand this cowardly act by a cowardly illegally elected president are pure reflections and distractions to get the attention off his pedophilia participation with Epstein and others in his 1% circle, and to have us focus on the shiny ball he's tossed by creating a false narrative about immigrants. Pay attention America there's more to this and I would venture to believe the backroom wheeling, dealing and grifting continues as he tries to orchestrate a civil war to solidify his dictatorship. God is not mocked, whatever he sows, Donald Trump will reap. The fall from the mountaintop will be swift, hard, painful and riddled with shame and treason.
I was a witness to the 1968 riots in Cleveland. At 77, I’m not going to be distracted by Team Trump. We must keep our eyes on the prize. This military chaos is being used to create a distraction from his big beautiful bill. I’m not going to take the bait! He is still going to be held accountable for the numerous cuts to important programs.

When we give a felon criminal minion over us! He will and has exploited our trust!
Good morning, Dr. Eddie,
I was a witness to the 1968 riots in Cleveland. At 77, I’m not going to be distracted by Team Trump. We must keep our eyes on the prize. This military chaos is being used to create a distraction from his big beautiful bill. I’m not going to take the bait! He is still going to be held accountable for the numerous cuts to important programs.
