Trump is talking about using tanks to quell the George Floyd protests but the Pentagon is getting cold feet

and said he would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 if a state "refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents."

The Insurrection Act would allow the president to make a unilateral decision to send in further troops, circumventing governors' objections. New York's Attorney General Letitia James also said she was willing to take the matter to court to resist troops, The Beast reported. Pentagon officials are aware of at least three governors dealing with active protests who have privately pleaded with the department not to send troops, saying it would only inflame things further, The Beast reported. As of Tuesday morning,Demonstrators against the death of George Floyd join hands Thursday, May 28, 2020, in St. Paul, Minnesota.The revelation to The Beast reflects unease amongst some military leaders at the deployments.

I was in Beirut during the largest protest in its history. Millions of protesters. The Lebanese Armed Forces PROTECTED the protesters from instigators that tried to disrupt and incite violence. takenote sheepdogs

How is the American public supposed to believe anything that's said when almost everything is poured through a condition of anonymity filter?

Fake News.

Politicsinsider TRUMP IS GOING TO KEEP MILITARY AT WHITE HOUSE HE THINKS THEY76 WILL KEEP HIM IN POWER WHEN HE LOOSESW ELECTION JUST LIKE HISW MENTOR PUTIN BUT WHEN PUTIN IS PUSHED OUT HE WILL BE KILLED THETY SAY

they should wear socks

I guess we should make it clear the 'grievance' the protesters, & in fact the rest of the citizens of the country, want 'redressed' is the killing of unarmed people in police custody in the streets, as they act as judge, jury and executioners, violating the Constitution.

please...get at least 1 tank out in the street so that we can Photoshop it! Joshua would love it as PLA walked in the HK streets with shorts and buckets to help cleaning, not with any tank. SecPompeo, for your friend Joshua, please get ONE tank out!

I walk with my president

I think Esper’s Shaggy impersonation last night made that clear.

The Media thinks WE ARE STUPID !
