Los Angeles and a stumble

From today’s installment of Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American :

There is no doubt that as their other initiatives have stalled and popular opinion is turning against the administration on every issue, the Trump regime is trying to establish a police state. But in making Los Angeles their flashpoint, they chose a poor place to demonstrate dominance. Unlike a smaller, Republican-dominated city whose people might side with the administration, Los Angeles is a huge, multicultural city that the federal government does not have the personnel to subdue.

Trump stumbled as he climbed the stairs to Air Force One tonight.
The profile view as he stumbled is not to be missed.

Before I forget, I have an idea for what democrat congresspeople can do: They can pull a Steve Bannon, fight fire with fire, and do what he does: "flood the zone."
On CBC radio this weekend a US citizen gave a long list of research things shut down. The Dems could hold a weekly press conference—no, twice-weekly, and each time give a list of say, ten things shut down. You can't depend on reporters when it comes to zone flooding.

So long as it’s not Chuck Schumer and his reading glasses and his mild-mannered manner. :)
