Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

He could deploy the national guard.
Edit: I made the assumption on which person using the national guard commenter was talking about. Should have clarified their pronoun usage before responding. Original below that assumed the "He" referring to Trump.
He's already going to do that! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's like each escalation that occurs we have liberals saying "well, yeah, we didn't do anything to resist and he still escalated; but we should still not resist because then he'll escalate even MORE! Surely, if we keep doing nothing they won't escalate to the next step"
Do people have the memory of a gold fish? What is your line? Like, please write it down so you remember. Because the line has been crossed 100 times already.
There is always another step of escalation. Pointing to it, in fear, as a reason to do nothing is what you are doing.
Your entire post was in the context of Walz and how he could do more. Of course I meant Walz could deploy the National Guard. He could even use the state police. But yes, point is I agree he should be doing more. Liberals should be doing more. Trump is a much larger threat than they are treating him as.
Yeah. Sorry, I'm use to liberals responding with "don't poke the beast" as they're alone in a cage with it. So I jumped to frustration. I agree. He could absolutely deploy the national guard and create a constitutional crisis. We need a stand to be taken.
I think that dude meant Walz could deploy the guard.
Eh, yeah. Maybe. Bad time to use a pronoun since it could be either. I should have not assumed.
Yep, bullies back down when confronted. ICE is too dumb to be cops and too much a coward to be military. When people like Mark Kelly fight back, they back down. Those Epstein files are going to be insane
When is he going to do that?
