While some of this may be to deflect from Epstein most of it is driven by the knowledge of those in the administration that if in 14.5 months from now the United States is still functioning in the way it historically has in my lifetime that they are likely cooked.  

This is all to hold on to power at any and all costs....you know, what authoritarians do.

So it's safe to assume that Trump's limousine got lost and accidentally drove past a garage sale once, and the concept completely confused and enraged him.

i think it is just cro-magnon marketing.  go look at public issue polling on wanting someone that "gets things done" "cuts through red tape" "is a strong leader."  those always poll high.

It’s that, and it’s also a political W for the GOP to make blue state govs and mayors to go on TV and talk about crime rates and policing.

Yep.  Carjacking is part of our heritage as Americans!  Go for the 80/20!

Yeah, im not reading the next four pages or whatever have been posted since this, but there is a big difference in mobilizing the militia to put down something like the whiskey rebellion and mobilizing the national guard to fight crime that is at a 30 year low and happens to manifest itself in one particular form of crime. 

And I'm not even completely sold on the justification of mobilizing the militia for the whiskey rebellion. We fought a war to rif ourselves of the kind of control that a colonizer uses to take control of the colonists, yet a lot of those same aspects were at issue with the whiskey rebellion. 

And now we are using the militia aka national guard to fight a surge in crime that is actually a statistical low point...

It occurs to me that maybe we shouldn't have passed all those gun control laws that were designed and used to keep undesirable people from bearing arms because it sort of puts some limits on our liberty.

It's very literally an infringement of the 2A in that if the president can force a state's militia to act against the wishes of that state - then it is not their militia.
