    “Today, demonstrations across the city of Los Angeles remained peaceful, and we commend all those who exercised their First Amendment rights responsibly,” said a statement issued by the Los Angeles Police Department on Saturday evening. That was the same day Trump overrode Gov. Gavin Newsom and federalized California’s National Guard

    This is why it's import to stay peaceful. So we can look back and be able to say the bad people escalated it.

        Im not saying dont try, but i have zero hope for any articles of impeachment actually leading to removal from office.

        I support it but I would love for my initial guess to be wrong. That reps will never vote as their constituents would.
