Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said on Monday that President Trump should use the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty U.S. troops to cities impacted by protests and riots in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed while in the custody of Minneapolis police.
Cotton, during an interview with Fox News, said that “if necessary the president should use the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty military forces to these cities to support our local law enforcement and ensure that this violence ends tonight, not one more night.”
“What the president can do is say that justice will be done in accordance with law for George Floyd and we will always respect the right of peaceful protests … but the rioting, the anarchy and the looting ends tonight.

The single person protecting America from dictatorship is trump. Dear Leader is so chaotic, incompetent, lacking in “vision”, self-sabotaging, lacking consistency excepting in his constant need for adoration and money that we may be saved despite his worshipful base.

He speaks and has spoken as someone with truly evil intelligence who should be no where near positions of authority.
