    That was illegal.

    There will be no consequences, and we won’t stop you from doing it again, repeatedly, but shame on you.

    Pretty sure everyone knew and has known that it’s illegal. The problem was never the legality, the problem has always been that nobody’s going to stop him. And so it is with all of the other illegal things the administration’s done so far and will do

      It’s the Miller plan from day one: ignore law, push to SCOTUS, and get those bitches to legalize it.

    And since it’s illegal, they’re going to prevent him from deploying them to Chicago like he just said he was going to, right? …right?

      Now that it has been determined that the deployment was illegal, any that obey in the future should face penalties.

      It doesn’t sound like the National Guard members are facing individual penalties for following illegal orders.

      This is unfortunate. But I guess with fascists “just following orders” is par for the course.

    My favourite is the statement from Battle Suit Barbie that LA just wouldn’t be there anymore because of some immigration protests, so they should be thankful Trump sent in the guard. You know, that same guard that did nothing and mostly sat around on their hands in cramped spaces without adequate food or services. What a joke of a country.

    I haven’t seen Trumps response but I have a feeling it was similar to my grandfather’s when the nurse in his retirement home told him to stop shitting on the common area couch when he’s watching war movies.

      There is a giant bar on the door for anyone not already in the political elite or those circles to keep them from getting in. They are all trash. The Dems had the perfect counter to Trump in Bernie Sanders and the establishment pulled the rug out from under him to nominate Hillary. Against the wishes of the masses. Not that Hillary isn’t a capable leader, she is more than qualified, but people were done with the same old elitist shit and she was just another representation of that. Bernie is far from perfect, but he is actually there to help people, all of them, not just his friends. Trump vs Sanders debates would have been off the hook!

    Well, the government does not care about legal anymore. This would only be of consequence if it had … consequences.
