You don't seem to understand what plausible deniability is. This is the from second paragraph:
Sending troops because there are "commies among us" is not the same thing.
Yikes. And he asked Congress & Cali’s Governor’s permission, right?
And yet your every comment is absolutely brimming with snark and condescension. I prefer adult engagement too and that means not wasting any more time on you.
I’ll read this as “I excuse Trump’s illegal deployment of Marines on a state that never requested help, therefore Speaker Johnson’s request for an increased military budget is hereby excusable following days of unrest triggered by Communists” and carry on.
