This could give Trump his opening to go for the Insurrection Act and Martial Law.

He's desperate and his falling in the polls and can't escape the economy or the Epstein Scandal.

The obvious question of "500 more troops to do what?" has no good answer, but many bad ones.
Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

I’m suggesting that this admin will take a lone wolf attack like this as an opportunity to oppress hundreds of thousands of people who have absolutely nothing to do with it.
Are you suggesting it’s Biden’s fault that trump sent the National Guard to DC?

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

Excuse me?!
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

This is a bold but absolutely feasible solution, which would immediately bring Pu to the negotiation table in earnest, ready to make real concessions rather than aiming to swindle and take away Ukrainian sovereignty diplomatically. Europe needs to step up before it's too late.
Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has called for Europe to deploy up to 20,000 troops behind Ukraine’s front lines, establish an air shield with around 150 combat aircraft and unlock frozen Russian assets.

Roll over, repeatedly, on really serious matters of national security! Will he say anything about the new Witkoff revelations?
LOL. I can't imagine being represented by a more spineless person.
Mike Turner was stripped of his committee chair for no reason and his response was to roll over lol

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
