Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can anyone confirm, were these illegal deployments? That is to say, as there was no actual local emergency to which the National Guard could legally be deployed, is it therefore the case that these orders for deployment were illegal? National Guard members are also guided by the code of military justice, and expected to not comply with illegal orders, I think. So as the head of the military, Trump gave illegal orders, which resulted in the death of at least one National Guard member, so Trump is responsible for the injury and death of at least one. Regardless of whether this is legally the case, I think it's important to hammer the message that this death, and indeed many others as well, is Donald J. Trump's responsibility. We should never let him weasel out of this.
Judge rules Trump’s DC National Guard deployment was illegal - POLITICO https://share.google/drgPRPfbvJQwEthBs
So this should be a warning to all National Guard; Trump is using the Nat.Guard as targets in his attempts to take and maintain control. Do not obey illegal orders if you value your health, welfare, and life, or you may suffer the consequences in either the short term, or later on when your actions bring you to court.
