Re: Will the military fire on Americans
But Philler income in-equally, when the richest 1 percent in the United States now own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent might be the thing. If you need just one thing to blame why not red lining ?

Re: Will the military fire on Americans
The Insurrection Act, the 1807 law Trump could use to deploy troops to curb protests, explained
It’s unlikely anyone could stop him from using it, too.
BUT ... The move isn’t without some risk for Trump, either. As Vladeck tweeted, is that sending in American troops puts the onus for ending the protests on Trump.
“If Trump invokes these statutes, he’d own all that follows,” he wrote on Saturday.
Read it all.

Clearly the insurrection act only applies if states are unable to deal with the problem, and that is not the case unless they ask for help.
{...
The Act empowers the U.S. president to call into service the U.S. Armed Forces and the National Guard:
when requested by a state's legislature, or governor if the legislature cannot be convened, to address an insurrection against that state (§ 251),
to address an insurrection, in any state, which makes it impracticable to enforce the law (§ 252), or
to address an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy, in any state, which results in the deprivation of Constitutionally-secured rights, and where the state is unable, fails, or refuses to protect said rights

Re: Will the military fire on Americans
So do you think it's just a Trump campaign stunt/distraction from his failures, that will fade away like ... his other crap not worth remembering after the adults in room kept him from doing something especially dumb ?

Re: Will the military fire on Americans
Pull my finger.
I keep seeing it said his bible was upside down. I couldn't see it.
What I saw was a hypocrites's, photo op that make me want to move away before the coming lighting strike.
So I asked someone how they tell could it was upside down. She pointed out the spine was on the wrong side. It was a humbling "oh, I see it now, moment". I felt small for missing that and thanked her.
Now, I'm wondering if it was a Koran ?
Is Arabic read right to left like Hebrew making the book right side up ?
Americans need to know if Trump is a secret Muslim !?!

I still don't see it.
The spine in on the left, which would fit is the front cover was blank?'
I wondered about the bookmark ribbons, whether they normally are at the top of bottom?
And when I looked it up, they were used at the bottom, just as in the image. So I see no indication of the Bible being upside down?

What an act allows and what a thinking person does is not the same.

Good point in that emotions are much easier to create and manipulate then reasoned response.
