    If nothing else you’ve demonstrated your complete ignorance of how our political system works in this country. Well done!

      Look up title 10 orders. The president is the commander in chief. If he won’t pull those guardsmen out of there it’s because he doesn’t mind what they’ve done.

      The pure fucking irony of you saying that when everything I just suggested is based in existing law and precedent.

        LOL. You are clearly ignorant of the practical implications of such things and more generally of how politics works in real terms.

        Every action a president takes either gains or loses political capital. The president does not operate in a vacuum… indeed our entire system of government is designed to have checks and balances and specifically to keep the authority of a president confined.

        I must say, you have such an incredibly simplistic view of this… it’s quite stunning. You literally sound like a MAGAt, begging for authoritarian control.

          So now we’re moving the goal posts. It’s political capital and not political system.

          I agree, what he spends his capital on shows what he cares about. Good thing there’s not some black hole of a situation he’s just dumping capital into right now…
