Also seems like a likely pretext for a more permanent military presence in DC given the response in LA.

No Tom. You’re not. And people shouldn’t think you are. But I do think you underestimate the anger seething in areas of the country on both sides of the divide. And we’re very close now to violence that the right has been hoping to use for further erosion of civil rights.

Did you tell the Guard to stand down? Did you tell them not to kill your constituents? Did you have time to do that in between interviews with Bannon, etc…?

Angry and powerless feeling people are going to turn to this. The LA Riots in 1992 are an example. Not condoning or wanting it. Trump et al is happy to kill citizens as a show of authoritarianism. Sitting back and pearl clutching is wishful thinking. ICE is the new equivalent of the brown shirts.

He’s been waiting for this. Now (unfortunately and inevitably) the killing starts.

TACO philosophy specifically calls for the extensive use of BARFO (best and REALLY final offer).

You’re right. Where’s the 24-7 media grievance machine on this? Why does the right have more volume?
Agree that violence is only a matter of time whether it’s a Kent State like event or people fighting back.
Seems like the Feds want to raise the stakes, bring in the Guard, deploy the military.

And let me try to put my economist hat on, and work through some of this.

I agree. But there’s the aspect of intentionally dropping the markets so that *some* investors can scoop up stocks at a lower price before he temporarily relents and the markets bounce back. Rinse wash repeat.

It's all part of the grift. He's playing the markets.

The kid’s smug demeanor is off putting. He appears more than bright enough to dunk on Peterson without all the manufactured drama.
