Subject: Trump Escalates w/ 500 Marines
Sending in active duty military personnel is a political stunt, and a dangerous one.


Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized to respond to the protests in Los Angeles, according to three people familiar with the matter, and will join the National Guard troops that were activated by President Donald Trump over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or the city’s mayor.

The deployment of the full Marine battalion marks a significant escalation in Trump’s use of the military as a show of force against protesters...

If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president sending Marines onto the streets of an American city and calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.
