From sea to shining sea, crime is surging and gunfire rings throughout the night. In some cities, anarchists smash windows and set fires, aiming to set up autonomous zones.
In response, President Trump threatens to dispatch federal troops unless local officials stop the chaos. In their response to him, Democratic governors and mayors tell the president to buzz off.
Oregon’s attorney general even sues to stop Homeland Security agents from making arrests in riot-torn Portland, and Mayor de Blasio promises the feds would get the same rude welcome in Gotham.
“If he tried to do it, it would only create more problems,” de Blasio said. “We would immediately take action in court to stop it.”
Welcome to states’ rights, circa 2020, where lawbreakers are the new protected class. And they say Trump is the one who violates national norms!
The gigantic protests that followed the alleged police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25 mostly petered out, but the violent fringe appears to be growing. Yet instead of asking for help to protect their citizens and keep order, Dem officials are forming a protective circle around the mobs.
This extraordinary maneuver echoes efforts in the segregated South five decades ago to stop the feds from enforcing civil-rights laws. While it is suddenly popular now with the activist left, it’s hard to see how the strategy retains support if the disorder spreads. At some point, even the wokest Dem is going to get tired of sirens in the night and stepping over broken glass in the morning.
More broadly, the defense of the mobs puts presidential nominee Joe Biden in yet another bind. The fact that he seems to be a mute bystander on the issue is a sign of his fundamental weakness.

The ONLY way he will pay for it (lose votes) is if WE get VERY vocal about it...Media in not talking so much about it any more
And this is how local politics have huge National implications.
The Gibsmedat crowd hears that Joe Biden will pay for the chaos and gets excited. But they may have misunderstood ...
In my opinion. the Democrat Party, starting at the top with Pelosi , Obama, clintons and the other high level endorsers have already determined that President Trump will be relected. It is not worth the time money and effort to salvage a presidential win.
However, the Senate must be the priority. The House must not be lost. The turmoil is self made and must be believed to show solidarity of purpose required to elect senators and maintain the House.
The “media”(D) continue to successfully push the narrative this is all Trump’s fault, so I’m not seeing how Biden will suffer for it.
This is why the tv news either does not cover the riots or blames Trump.
After gang-bangers shot up 14 people at a rival gang-banger's funeral wake last night on the near South side of Shitcago last night and it being wall-to-wall coverage all over TV, I don't think the coverage is going to go away.
We're at the point here in the Shitcago area that the gang bangers are trying to one-up each other and it's going to keep getting worse.
It may already be too late. People prefer Joe Biden to Trump for law and order, per the polls. Trump is losing the PR battle over the unrest.
The Feds are making arrests in NYC and they have been making arrests in NYC since long before he was born Warren Wilhelm.
I think these mayors are crazy Cargo-Cultists and they have no idea how an economy works.
In the case of New York City, much of the tax revenue comes from Manhattan commuters and they don't get to vote there. And they aren't commuting there now.
I get the NY Post because it gets it right about Trump, law and order, and right and wrong. It criticizes de blobio every day. And it doesn’t capitalize black while lowercasing white.
Chaos in major cities
The left can’t blame it on Trump they own it they are democrat controlled cities and states.
He's a mute bystander period, until the debates.

OH but they already are trying to blame it on Trump-See their PSYOP PROPAGANDA put out by the Lincoln Project:
Lincoln Project has been exposed as nothing but a money grab scam most of the donations go back to them.
Well, yes they are a scam, but they are still trying to sell their fable to anyone who is stupid enough to fall for it. And what the heck has been happening for the last 3 years?
Total Scams in LSM, and DemoKKKrats night and day 24/7/365.
On the plus side stats show only 40% of the people are stupid.
see any poll
Well since a majority of voters put Obama in the whitehouse twice-that 40% must have made up the majority of voters.
Yep one town in Ohio he won by 108% the presses were on full time operation.
