    I am constantly amazed by those still supporting Trump. They literally defend anything this patently unfit demagogue says, does or fails to do. The only people who still genuinely still support/defend him are doing so because they either can still get some benefit out of him being POTUS; or they are so far gone with their support for him that they cannot admit how spectacularly wrong they were to support him; or they genuinely believe that he is the chosen one come to bring about the (insert whatever fantasy glorious future you want here).
    Everyday that goes by, his failings as a human being, businessman, leader etc just become more pronounced. Considering he is like fuel to the fire of America's many many problems; what shape will the country be in by the time he is voted out?

    Oh, my. Is it a republican politician? If it is true I hope he isn't running for president, unless he's talking about bombing them with laughing gas. :pac:

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Sen. Tom Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, pushed for the use of military force against demonstrators who've taken to the streets and, in some cases, protested violently against police brutality and racism. 

    "If local politicians will not do their most basic job to protect our citizens, let's see how these anarchists respond when the 101st Airborne is on the other side of the street,"

    Trump handled North Korea fairly well, although I don't like how he ended up giving Kim respect and refusing to condemn his atrocities. He did however stand up to him and made more progress in terms of negotiation than anyone else has come close to.

    Problem solved? Far from it. But he played it pretty well. Most here will never admit that.

    What progress? He met with Jong-un and, like you say, gave him respect and then everything went straight back to missile tests. There was no lasting change, so I don't see the progress. If anything, all he did was further legitimise a tyrant.

    How many have you seen stand up and warn a North Korean leader to quit or else? In all fairness that was a good thing he did.

    He tried, but ultimately he failed, so there's no really any progress anyone can point to. Attempt is not synonymous with progress, the problem will still be there for the next admin.

    Thank, eagle eye but it's been like this forever and I'm desensitized to it all. It's like I have always said... usually people here on the right feel those on the left have good hearts but are somewhat misguided and at times can be a tad nasty towards the right, whereas those on the left seem to think people on the right are stupid, ignorant and evil. It's the same much here in the US as you should see (as I believe you're located in the US and another Jets fan... oh wait, Patriots :)) a lot of the time.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Full leak of Trump call to the governors 55 minutes long. Trump says on call he wants to destroy movement, the same as Occupy Wall Street ("where are they now it was a beautiful thing lol)

    Familiar tactic for Trump: hide out of sight and send in a scotched up Rudy Giuliani to piss gaslighting screed everywhere.

    Okay, so we both agree they're not bombing people and it was simply more fake news from the left?

    To answer your question... If it’s to protect innocent US citizens from domestic terrorists hell-bent on causing mayhem, physical violence, and property damage I would prefer the local and state law enforcement handle it, and if they can’t then the state’s national guard units, and finally yes... the airborne if necessary. I would prefer they use rubber bullets and teargas, though, unless the so-called 'protesters' decide to start using live ammo and explosives.
