I'd appreciate it very much if you would acquaint everybody with Title 10 and explain just why it DOESN'T give plenary authority to the President, because there's one part of it that sounds very much as if it does exactly that. Thank you. 🙂

If you actually read and Understand the Constitution and Regulations, Before Title 10 can even be invoked, The Governor of a State must declare a State of Emergency AND ask for Federal Intervention. And Federal Intervention is only Supposed to be Given if a State does not have the Resources and/or Ability to solve the ' Emergency ' on its own. So what is going on in Chicago and Other Cities, is Clearly a Violation of States Rights. And the United States Constitution is designed to prevent the Violation of States Rights. Of Course that only works when the Constitution is actually followed.

I’m Canadian, in Canada, and I can’t see how/why Americans haven’t made more noise about this! Can you think of how??? Maybe everyone attending the big parades next weekend should ALL carry big signs saying “PLENARY AUTHORITY MEANS KING” on one side, and “NO KINGS” on the other. Flood the streets with that message!

The USA is sliding more and more rapidly down the path to authoritarian dictatorship. Soon it will become irreversable. Hence the importance pushing back as hard as possible right now.

I feel the need to make something clear. Miller and Vought want "Trump" to have absolute authority because they want absolute power. It's not about the President, and it never has been. It's about them. It's about their plan. It's about destroying a democracy in pursuit of power- not for the president, but for them. Even if we stop Trump, or Trump expires, they will remain in power...unless the GOP members of Congress grow a pair. We need to pressure them!

We need the press (and everyone else) to use the full "Trump and the Republicans" and not just "Trump", which lets the enablers of which you speak off the hook.

I understand, agree with and appreciate everything that you report David and am utterly disgusted with Trump BUT want to know what we can realistically and practically do about it.

Contact your Congressional Representative and tell them that you don't want Trump running the Country. And that this Country is not Trumpsylvania, it's the United States of America.

trump and his followers are much more dangerous, than they seem at first blink. Then they gradually show their true colors. That is the danger we are all facing

The man on the street won't react to the word "plenary" when he 1) feels that his voting isn't necessary, 2) doesn't even know basic civics or how our government works, 3) knows where in the heck Greenland is, and 4) what does plenary mean? He can't even pronounce it. So to those of us who DO know what it means, we need to keep up the noise, especially next weekend for the national Second No King Day. See you there.

Something about 'flooding the zone', and 'throwing enough s**t at the wall that sufficient will stick'.

Have I understood correctly?

Elbow Zupp! 🇨🇦

Here's what else should terrify us. Everyone I've seen today is all excited about MAGA being bent out of shape because of the Qatari airbase on US soil. We should all be freaked out. A foreign power with fighter jets stationed on US soil -- personal army anyone. Does no one see the potential here of Trump having an independent military, bound to him by powerful economic ties, and at his disposal. WAKE UP FOLKS! This is beyond dangerous.
