New York State’s top prosecutor is threatening to sue President Trump if he follows through on his threat to deploy the United States military to put down domestic protests that were sparked by the police-involved killing of George Floyd.

‘The President of the United States is not a dictator, and President Trump does not and will not dominate New York state,’ Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement on Monday.

I think this is all rigged for 28 July 1932 event (the bonus army riots in DC), or another impeachment panel effort.

One thing is obvious....a fair number of blacks are waking up and asking why are these Nike-clad uppity white kids showing up in these black communities as part of the riot business. If the agenda was to flip them to be Biden-voters again, I think that strategy failed in the worst way.

I hear ya. You’re right. They left would love to “Hoover” Trump. They’d like nothing better than to have Trump send in the Army or Marines and then bait the military into shooting some manufactured victim(s) whom would paint as “martyr(s) of Trump’s fascism” just in time for the election.

Then maybe lock the NY borders to stop the illegal out of state looters from creating a situation.

Message for Letitia James....Your political office is inferior to the office held by Donald Trump.

Please read the constitution.

IF the violence is being caused by white supremacists, as so many liberals claim, why are they against using force against them?

“Cops just stood there”—that’s right. The cops aren’t doing their job to protect life and property, the governors aren’t doing their job to protect life and property all because they think it somehow benefits them politically.

If you are trying to be serious, don’t use words like ‘bigley’ please. It makes us all look bad.

She is dreadful. I live in the Capital District (NYS) and was able to be at the capital when NYS added to its draconian abortion laws.

Letitia was there and celebrating. It was a scary sight; her sycophants were with her.

There’s no upside to it.

It wouldn't play well in Kalifornia,New York or Massachusetts...but it would play *very* well in Ohio,Michigan,Florida,and elsewhere.

Waiting................ classifying antifa as a terrorist organization doesn’t fair well for political figures who are supporting them while thier cites burn. This also goes for those who aid and abet. see you at gitmo!

So the left is showing us again they want their cities to get destroyed. First with the virus, now the riots. Is this their idea of improving everybody’s lives? They have tried to crash the markets too.

Another of NY’s finest government officials following in the steps of Elliot Spitzer and Eric Schneiderman. All legends in their own minds.
