When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

When you are vastly underqualified and drowning in mismanagement and chaos-- all you can do is point fingers at a man, over 80 years old, who (despite age and other challenges) had 1000 x more impact than you ever could.

When I worked for state government in Missouri back in the late ‘70s, I met Stan Musial on the job one day and he gave me a signed baseball. I had to turn it in to my boss because it was worth more than the $25 “gift” allowance. If it had been a jumbo jet, I probably could have kept it.
