Look at these patsies blocking the entrance to a military base today:

Yeah, totally a grassroots uprising [sarcasm]. Who is paying for all those identical signs and organizing this stuff?

They're still playing patty-cake and dispersing them with teargas, which really only emboldens them. When are they going to just start running them over? The military does not play games.

When are they going to bring back the firehoses?
They are the best deterrent and the entertainment factor is up there.

Make Firehoses Great Again

If you have to clear a crowd, that actually seems a better way than tear gas. Who knows what's in that stuff? It is a form of chemical warfare. I've heard that in Portland, some people who live near the ICE Facility have begun to complain that their apartments smell like tear gas. That's unfair. Maybe firehoses would be better? Though the high-pressure ones can be pretty brutal. Perhaps if they were called "freedom showers".

Barricading a military base is not cool. Or smart. I have no problem with people protesting. If it creates a bit of civil disruption, well, that's the cost of freedom. But when disruption becomes criminality, destruction of property, an incitement of violence, or interferes with law enforcement and the military, that's a step too far. That's called insurrection and rebellion.

Judge shuts down Trump, rules he exceeded president's authority

Judge shuts down Trump, rules he 'exceeded his authority’
 A federal judge recently ruled that President Donald Trump acted outside the limits of his authority when he federalized National Guard troops and deployed them to Portland during immigration-related protests.
Knewz.com has learned that the decision marked a significant legal rebuke of Trump’s attempt to use military force in a domestic law-enforcement context. It also made permanent an injunction issued in October.

In a 106-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, found that the former reality star “exceeded the president’s authority” when he ordered 200 Oregon National Guard members into Portland in September.
The court rejected the administration’s claim that protests outside a Portland ICE facility amounted to rebellion or imminent danger of “rebellion,” the threshold required for federalizing state-controlled Guard units.
Immergut wrote that “the evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon’s governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president’s authority.”

Following a three-day trial, Judge Immergut ruled that the conditions cited by the Trump administration fell far short of the legal standard needed to justify a federal takeover of the National Guard.

She wrote that the “precise standard” defining when a president may deploy federalized troops domestically “is ultimately a question for a higher court to decide,” signaling that the dispute could move to the appellate courts.

Well ,it certainly looks like the Law isn't on Donnie's side at the moment.  It looks like he'll need to take this further if he wants people to "respect his authority"

They get over turned eventually.
Your source calls the President 'the former reality tv star'.
Yeah ... no bias there.  
I"m sure this 'news' source is happy about it.

Idk at least the military have rules of engagement, regular people will just take cheap shots and not care about the risks to others, but okay for now there is a ruling and we'll see what happens.
