to crack down on the riots. (but only selected riots)

"...Checkpoints are manned, guardsmen are vetted, and panicked “insurrection” disinformation is bandied about the corporate media like so many sparkles in the wind.

This is what a state of emergency looks like. Except when it isn’t.

This is not what it looked like in the streets of Kenosha, where rioters terrorized residents and business owners for four straight nights. Nor is it what it looked like in the streets of Chicago, where police drew up the bridges to the once-glittering Magnificent Mile.."

I liked it when Trump signed the "No Lobbying" for 5 years Exec Order. It was a good drain-the-swamp move and gave me hope. But he rescinded that on his way out the door. Now it's just like it was in the bad old days. What gives? He seems to have broken a promise so his cronies can benefit. Doesn't make him look very good.
