Texas once feared a phantom federal occupation. Now Gov. Abbott’s troops are helping carry it out under Trump. And Houston may be next, writes the Houston Chronicle editorial board. bit.ly/48Q3D5C

A younger and more naive version of me, in 2016, would have said the dangerous thing is not the lies, it's the gov't actions (such as deploying the Texas National Guard to Portland or Chicago).

That was wrong. The lies themselves are dangerous. We cannot have a democracy on a foundation of lies.

It’s Hard to Overstate How Disturbing This Trump Directive Is It’s the clearest statement of the president’s intentions that we’ve seen so far.

SECOND, on a much larger scale, as Fred Kaplan explains here, the government is laying down a farrago of lies as the official predicate for military action against Americans.

Huge piles of claims in here are falseβ€”about America's "well-financed" domestic "terror network," etc.

Or maybe the Texas National Guard could be deployed to find the victims of the July 4 flood to give relatives some closure.

Yeah, trump, good strategy. Take the National Guard where real crime is taking place and send them like StormTroopers to attack cities like Chicago and Portland to make violence start by kidnapping members of the community.

This is a recurring tactic: use strangely fine distinctions to create logical epicycles which then function as wedges to disrupt settled law. He did the exact same thing by arguing that technical international law principles historically explain (and thus drive) how the Citizenship Clause operates.
