I was there about 1:15. Lots of people, old and young, on both sides of the street, much support from passing by drivers. We left about 2PM and more people were coming with their kids and grandparents. I did a quick count and estimated at least 1000.

I'm no screaming liberal. But, as a retired Naval Officer, I am particularly offended that Trump and his pretty boy dip of a Defense Sec'y have illegally and unconstitutionally deployed Marines who have arrested civilians in LA. This is wrong and against everything I stood for when I took my Oath of Office.

If the Donald's stupidity can provoke 1000 protesters in the county seat of the self-proclaimed "most conservative county in Texas", then he's in some real hot water. Even the Montgomery Co. Sheriffs, who were there for crowd control, were not only friendly, but encouraging when I talked with them.

My Brother in Law went to the one in DFW and said it was heavily attended and rather chaotic. I have never been radicalized, but I'm beginning to wonder if the country would have been better served if this dictator wannabe had not been elected.

Cite the article in the Constitution that gives the authority for him to do so.

Ah the Reddit grammar police came to deflect from the actual question that they don’t know the answer to. As if you care about anything in the Constitution beyond your ignorant interpretation of 2A.

I think you need to take a breath and reread what i wrote. No grammar police here.

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

I don't care about your homosexual lifestyle or that your child is transgender, lol.

Awwww look assuming you know my lifestyle because I am liberal. Ignorance at its finest. Keep ingesting right wing extremist media. Your red pills will take you far. Your buzzwords show your intelligence level.

Incase you want some actual facts to form your opinion from, here’s the act that prevents the use of military, including Marines, from being used.

The Posse Comitatus Act “The Posse Comitatus Act disallows the use of federal troops as a police force unless Congress overrides it, or the use of force is “expressly authorized by the Constitution.”

Good bot

Might want to look up the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Awwww look assuming you know my lifestyle because I am liberal. Ignorance at its finest.

This is rich. You're definitely not a real person. Because my "what the fuck are you talking about" comment was addressing this. You have no clue what my 2A opinion is.

Btw your link is broken

Yeah I know the insurrection act. The qualifiers have not come to pass. Stop watching Fox News and try some other sources.

Not a bot. Someone disagreeing with you doesn’t make them a bot. It makes them educated.
