Monday

when I first read this. I know it's about the hypocrisy of "America First" but my mind immediately went to the militarization of a public law enforcement department. Those carriers are not going to be heading to Venezuela... he's planning on using them against American citizens exercising their right to protest the government... among other reasons. He's not going to be happy until he mows down a bunch of "lefties"... and his maga cultists will be right there beside him, cheering him on.

At least, that's the way *I* see it... YMMV.
