(Axios) Abbott orders National Guard deployment to protests

[Chomsky]

Seeking Trump's good favor, as always.

Ah. Very good point! Thank you!

 

[Chomsky]

Who didn't notify the mayors. The insolence is contagious!

Perfect descriptor.

It appears another state's citizenry will be under the thumb of the National Guard, even while there's yet to be any violence, nor has a demonstration even occurred.

The National Guard now seems to be getting deployed "in anticipation".

There have been anti-ICE protests, resulting in multiple arrests, in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. The “anticipation” is for these organized protests to continue and intensify.

We have been hearing for a few years now if only Trump had deployed the DC National Guard on Jan 6 in "anticipation" of rioting, it could have made all difference.

No one knows what you've been hearing because of the garbage sources you likely use.

 

[Absentglare]

Abbott appears to be claiming he's deploying the National Guard prophylactically.

To infringe on our constitutional right to protest.

I wasn't even aware that could be done? To send the Military, where a problem does not exist?

I wouldn't doubt if Trump amplifies Abbott's actions via social media, before the day's end.

ICE is provoking violence in blue areas. New York City, Seattle, northern Virginia, Chicago, and Philadelphia are next.

This appears to be part of a hostile takeover.

 

[Chomsky]

Just imagine if the powers that be, including Nancy Pelosi, had done that before January 6th. We could have avoided a lot of problems. But it would have been “bad optics,” and possibly led to “escalation.”

Personally, I think it’s a good idea. Anarcho-socialist crazies will be out in full force on “No King’s Day.” Arresting anyone tossing a pebble would be perfectly fine with me, because these people never plan on peaceably doing anything.

You don't sic the Military on the Citizenry, "proactively".

 

[Chomsky]

It’s better to be proactive than reactive.

You don't sic the Military on the Citizenry "proactively".

You don't sic the Military on the Citizenry "proactively".

You don’t wait for the terrorists to do the terrorism before stopping them.

 

[Chomsky]

Probably a good idea, considering what happened in Los Angeles. Hopefully it will end up simply being a weekend deployment exercise.

Since when is sending the Military in against the Citizenry, before a need has been established, a good idea to be cheered about?

If safety is a concern, that's why we have Civilian Policing.

WTF? Arrests are made after probable cause has been determined.

Except that Pelosi had no authority to call out the National Guard in DC.
The Capitol Police Board decides on whether to call National Guard troops to the Capitol. It is made up of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol. The board decided not to call the guard ahead of the insurrection but did eventually request assistance after the rioting had already begun, and the troops arrived several hours later.
Tthe authority to command and activate the DCNG is delegated to the Secretary of Defense, and further to the Secretary of the Army.

I predicted exactly that in a post about 3 days ago. I knew Texas was going to jump on it and that it would be the first to do it.

Family and friends live in Texas (though we don't discuss politics) and they are otherwise nice people but Texas is, well, Texas. I mean Texas even has dental police! It's all about control. I knew Texas could not wait to jump on the fascist wagon with Trump.

We can expect other red states to follow suit. All part of the big plan.

 

[Chomsky]

The problem seems to be rioting in opposition to the enforcement of federal law.
Its a problem. If there was no additional security would that reduce or enhance the possibility of riots?

There's been no riot. No events have even occurred.

 

[ttwtt78640]

There's been no riot. No events have even occurred.

Really? See post #28.

 

[Napoleon]

Who said the NG is arresting anyone?

 

[Napoleon]

There's been no riot. No events have even occurred.

And these are not the droids you’re looking for.

 

[Chomsky]

There's been no "terrorism". There's been three civil arrests.

Sure do wish the National Guard would have been deployed in anticipation of January 6th 2021 in our Nation's Capitol.

 

[Risky Thicket]

Please identify the terrorist by name that you want to stop. List them all.

I hope for the sake of others you do not own guns.

What role do you think the Speaker of the House has to play that is unavailable to the President?

Thanks for clarifying arrests have occurred.

But, three arrests? The Austin PD cannot effect three arrests, without Military assistance?

I see you used the term "proactively", and that's exactly my complaint here. Calling in the Military against the citizenry, where there's been no activity requiring it.

Not I.

Who said the NG is stopping anyone?

 

[Napoleon]

Being a foreigner, you may not know this. But the NG cannot legally be deployed to the Capitol by the President without a written request.

That seems to be the case.

Remember, Clinton, Obama, and Biden, all deported far more than Trump has. All, to no fanfare. This is absolutely Trump warring with us. Purposefully, and antagonistically.
