exactly. People from anywhere in the country have standing to demonstrate against a federal agency.
and at this point she's backed herself into a corner and it will be awfully hard for her to de-escalate the troopers' tactics without losing face. I guess we'll find out if she's too stubborn to do the smart thing or will continue to double down on provoking the violence.
The outdoor security was transferred to the Newark police from the state police.
And what if there were some bad actors who came in to stir up trouble in an attempt to discredit the protestors, and elicit a violent response from ICE and the police? It wouldn’t surprise me.
It seems like a lot of people are lining up to throw Sherrill under the bus. I’m not saying this wasn’t a mistake. But the long knives seem to have come out on both sides.
I'm not "lining up" with anyone. But Sherrill deserves all the criticism she's getting. It was a huge mistake to send a riot squad of troopers to Newark.
She should know better. Anyone paying the least bit of attention to history knew what she did was going to provoke violence instead of preventing it. Sure, send in the police, but in regular uniform, not armor and shields.
C'mon out and purchase some merch and chat up your Maplewoodstock friends. Selling at corner of Baker St. and Maplewood Ave. in front of Wells Fargo until about 1 PM today (Sat, May 30).
Even if we were to accept the idea that Israel has the right to kill, maim and torture with no external limits, what I still don't get is why the US taxpayer should have to underwrite that program of atrocities.
The US constitution may have been a snazzy ride in 1789 but it is hopelessly outdated in the 21st century. The Electoral College, which regularly crowns the guy who came in second should, by itself, be disqualifying for a modern constitution. The same goes for the US Senate which gives a voter from California at 1/60th the influence of a voter from Wyoming.

I hope she learned a lesson.

A couple of thoughts, lifted from elsewhere.
I wonder if they realise that holding an outdoor event on the White House lawn totally invalidates the argument for a high security ballroom…
And ...
Trump making half-naked sweaty men fight on his front lawn is a great way to celebrate Pride Month. Hats off to him.

Cory is on the ballot next week and has done little to no campaigning. Another politician takes their constituents for granted.
