There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

Trump forces the U. of Virginia president to resign rather than endanger UVa’s funding.
The New York Times weakly describes it as “Trump’s success in harnessing the investigative powers of the federal government to accomplish his administration’s policy goals.”
I call it “fascist strong-arming.”

The 64k question we all find ourselves asking: How did America choose this? America is asleep at the wheel & with decades of complacency been lulled it into taking its democracy for granted. Trump drove a truck right through the hole that created. How far down the road will we get before we correct?

Sounds like he did the right thing.
Problem is we now have a Dictator with a willing Oligarchy and frightened Republican party.
How did America choose this? And having barely survived the first term?
Either the election was rigged, or we have become too stupid to survive.

60 minutes is now going to push Trumps propoganda, and will no longer question, criticise or report anything that makes him and company look bad. This is where we are now in the US.

I’ve watched 60 minutes since I was a kid on a black and white tv. I’ve always found it informative interesting and provocative at times. Such great reporting will be missed so a couple billionaires can add more to their un-spendsble piles of capital.

How very unfortunate that Bill Owens, a man of great integrity, didn’t have the freedom to continue to do his job ethically.
The reason is simple; Trump, being the criminal he is, demands the facts & truth not be presented.
Are all networks now going to mirror Fox & Newsmax?

Paramount forcing 60 Minutes to bend the knee so they can have a merger than will make them more profit by consolidating the media even more.
More proof that we have allowed way too much consolidation of the media.
