So to recap: Trump violated the War Powers Resolution, failed in his mission, lied and said he succeeded, made up a cease-fire between two countries in his head, then got mad and cursed when he found out it didn't exist.

Los Angeles is a BIG place. For the idiots who think the whole city is on fire (it is not), please see this handy map from Craig Miller. Look for the red highlighted circle. Any Angeleno not *there* is perfectly safe. This escalation by Trump is for his own political purposes. PERIOD.

When you accept that politics is a game with real life consequence then there should be no other choice but to vote for harm reduction.
This is why Black voters get it right most of the time. The gift of discernment is often overruled by bigotry and thats how you end up with idiots like Trump.
