Sooooo I have to ask why isn’t Trump doing anything? These statues legally belong to the American people not one city. Can’t Trump send in the troops to defend the statues?
They are out there on YouTube and social media, but the same mechanisms used to suppress conservatives and other ‘wrong thinkers’ are equally effective against them.
Send in US troops to protect the legacy of the federal government.
Posse Commitatus Act applies, so no.
Too bad because what else then can he do? Can’t get the FBI to do it since they are against the POTUS.
The state has to call for aid or roll out the Guard first. He can prosecute the people that pulled down the General’s statue under Federal law. Unfortunately, I don’t see that this particular set has crossed the line into insurrection.
Estimated statue value is around $9,000,000. Liberal Senator (he’s on their side) beaten to pulp because he was taking photos contrary to riot organizer’s orders as cops ordered to stand down

and the dem gov, evers, made the lamest statement possible about this lawlessness in the capitol, and because the authorities did not meet this nascent anarchy right off the bat with sufficient force to squash it in its infancy, it’s guaranteed to continue to grow unchecked UNTIL it is finally met with overwhelming force, at which point the authorities will have allowed massive, pointless destruction to take place as well as end with a violence with far worse optics than if they had just squashed the fetal rebellion right from the get go ...
the hapless, foolish and weakling Dems are DETERMINED to give President Trump a landslide victory ...

well, he did in DC ... but it’s totally a political winner for the nation to continuously observe the anarchy and insurrection that is a consequence of the feckless, ineffectual, and cowardly behavior when Dems are in charge ... in fact, it’s a nice contrast between the action that Trump takes in DC to preserve our national heritage while the Dems allow the wanton destruction of their state heritages by anarchists and insurrectionists ...
My first job was a paperboy, and my father and grandfather were too, them in Iowa, me Pasadena, CA and when an adult in the santa cruz area, specifically Scotts Valley, an area known to be quite conservative.
When in High school I pushed the family lawn mower around my suburban neighborhood and made money that way.
These a**holes who tear down statues should be gunned down.
