How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

Trump may soon expand these illegal attacks into a full-on war with Venezuela.

Trump is very much like Pope Alexander IV, the Borgia pope who also made a fortune selling indulgences and conducting church policy to enrich his family. The Borgia pope also paid bribes to secure St. Peterโs throne.
When history rhymes, it sneers
Donald Trump is setting not just the federal government against one of the states, but pitting armed soldiers from one state against the citizens of another. This is an emergency.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.
