[excerpt]Nebraska joins brief in support of Trump's use of Guard troops, Marines in California [View all]

FULL story: http://archive.today/nfGfy

ANDREW WEGLEY Lincoln Journal Star 32 mins ago
----------------------------------------
In a Wednesday legal filing in the federal case, Nebraska joined 18 other Republican-led states seeking to file a brief in support of Trump’s order, arguing the deployment was “responsible, constitutional and authorized” by law.

While California has accused Trump of having “repeatedly invoked emergency powers to exceed the bounds of lawful executive authority” in what the state’s attorney general called an “unprecedented power grab,” the Republican-led states pointed to the violent protests and legal precedent as they argued in their own court filing that Trump has the authority to deploy the Guard rather “than let Los Angeles burn.”

the targets may be different, but the tactics and results will be the same. They start down this road, and it doesn't end until someone ends it for them.

Hey, we not in California support marines attacking California. Literally no one sane in LA wants troops here. This only made shit worse.

These fuckers have gone absolutely batshit insane with their paranoia and they are straight abusing their power. We have to get these slimy fucks out of power at every level NOW.

Fox News is focusing on the burning cars, the thrown rock or two, the graffiti, and makes it appear that that is all that's going on.
