And There It Is

We have a "president" who thinks he gains politically by stirring up shit.

He has repeatedly invited the inference that violence in spite of the law is something we need - something that will solve some problems for us. And on some occasions, his rhetoric has been far more direct.

WaPo:

Protesters in Albuquerque wrapped a chain around the neck of a bronze statue and began tugging, chanting “Tear it down,” shortly before sunset on Monday. Their efforts to pull down a monument of Spanish conquistador Juan de Oñate suddenly stopped as four shots rang out.

Most people instinctively turned toward the noise, videos from the scene show. A few screamed. Just yards away, a group of militia men sporting military-like garb and carrying semiautomatic rifles formed a protective circle around the gunman.

The gunshots, which left one man in critical but stable condition, have set off a cascade of public outcry denouncing the unregulated militia’s presence and the shooting, although police have yet to announce an arrest or describe exactly what happened. The victim is also unidentified.

“The heavily armed individuals who flaunted themselves at the protest, calling themselves a ‘civil guard,’ were there for one reason: To menace protesters, to present an unsanctioned show of unregulated force,” New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) said in a statement. “To menace the people of New Mexico with weaponry — with an implicit threat of violence — is on its face unacceptable; that violence did indeed occur is unspeakable.”

Sometime this afternoon, 45* is set to deliver his latest executive order, which is supposed to line out what he thinks we should do in the area of Police Reform.

He's hinted that he'll be addressing specifically "the sheriffs".
Given what we know about the Daddy State movement, these bozos believe strongly that the office of County Sheriff is the repository of all "real power" under the constitution.

This could be very interesting.
