 How weird is it that one of the main Dem criticisms of Trump on Jan6 is that
 he refused to call in the national guard to put down the insurrection
and how
 that makes him culpable for what the rioters did. But now that he *has*
 called
 in the national guard to put down an insurrection, those same Dems say it's
 needlessly provocative and only makes the situation worse.

 

 Which is it? Is calling the national guard appropriate to stop a riot or
 inappropriate? Pick a lane, lefties.

 
 Washington D.C. is a federal enclave. The mayor is not the equivalent of
 a governor and does not have command of a National Guard unit. Whenever
 they need the Guard, they make the request to the president.
 
 That's not the case in California.

 
 Regardless, the Dem position was that the riot at the Capitol was serious
 enough to warrant deploying the guard. If *that* riot was serious
enough, then
 this one certainly is, so calling in the guard would be appropriate and
if the
 governor and mayor won't, then it's falls to the president to do so.

 
 1) It's very clear that what was going on in Los Angeles is hyper
 localized.

 
And the Jan6 riot wasn't? It literally was contained to one city block. You
can't get more localized than that.
 
As for L.A, don't be ridiculous. Violence has broken out from downtown to
Paramount to Compton and all the way up in Duarte.
 
Between the two, it was Jan6 that was by far the most hyper-localized and
yet that was the one for which the Dems were united in insisting that the
Guard should have been mobilized.

 
Um I know you understand the difference between random businesses
being attacked and an attack on the nation's capitol. Of course people
would be calling for as much enforcement as possible to protect the
capitol.

 
Laughter.
 
Being escorted around by the police through the building is somehow
comparable to burning down businesses, homes and openly violent
rioting....

We don't need the LAPD or the sheriff. All we need is about two dozen wealthy
limousine-liberal white women from Martha's Vineyard. Nobody clears out
illegal aliens faster than they do.

'Memba when Texas sent 50 illegals to Martha's Vineyard and it was such a
crisis that the governor of Massachusetts called out the National Guard to
deal with them? 'Cause I 'memba.

I don't remember seeing outraged posts here from shawn or celebrities or
leftist media pundits running for the fainting couch and grasping for the
smelling salts over such a "heavy-handed" and "provocative" move back then.
