As Barr and Trump confer off the record, aka, in the spirit of the Russian leader and Pres. Obama, “I’ll have more flexibility after the election.”

Would make a great campaign commercial running the Obama/Putin footage with the CNN ticker underneath and then flip to the riots and have Barr and Trump facing each other in chairs off mic with the CNN ticker “America First” Trump for Law and Order....

The answer is “vote the bastards out” and, if the idiot constituencies don’t do that, “Let it burn.” The residents of those cities and states voted themselves into this situation; it is up to them to get out again.

Now there’s a great campaign commercial. US or them communists.

That seems to concur with Andrew Napolitano, who insists that Trump can only send in the troops if asked. That’s fine with me. Let the red-pilling continue.

BUT, wouldn’t it be OK to use troops to stop the riots in DC, which is a federal city? Is there some way in which he could suspend or mitigate home rule by EO?

Most interesting. As a Veteran I fully appreciate and understand everything this ex-Officer wrote. He is obviously been to the Army War College as he has gone into depth the actions that must be taken when sending the troops into actual live, potential combat operations.

He is also absolutely correct in stating the average citizen doesn’t have a clue about what goes on, in the total picture.
And they really don’t need to know. Just accept it is a very complex endeavor that doesn’t happen immediately with the stroke of a pen.
