I'm one of those Constitutionalists who is tying himself into knots. I don't enjoy my predicament. The only way I can keep from abandoning Trump altogether is to remember how much worse I would be with Kamala.

Keep this in mind: You need not support everything Trump does now in order to justify a vote for Trump in 2024. Remember, an election is a choice and Harris was one of the worst possible choices the Dems could have come up with. Basically she wasn't a real choice.

Don't think of analysis of policy today as commentary about the election last year. It rarely is.

Sorry, Ross, but neither Gavin Newsom nor Karen Bass nor the city of Los Angeles, bear any resemblance to Snake Plaskin. While over blown., overhyped and completely exaggerated the demonstrations ( and yes, I know there were instances of violence, etc.) it involved a tiny fraction of residents and the city .

I won’t go into the 3A ramifications of federalizing the National Guard or sending in the Marines)(who you correctly point out will do absolutely nothing but stand around) , but other than his 38% base POTUS is not “winning” political support. I’d argue that the majority understand that this is all performative cosplay.
