In reply to the discussion: Inside Skinny on What Trump's Friday Visit to Mesa, AZ is REALLY All About [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)3. Thanks for the view into AZ, Pandora. What they've done to
education is particularly shocking. "Arizona ranked dead last in the nation for public school spending per student." But not surprising. I'll remember Andy Biggs.
Lol. I googled the International Air Response hangar, and that looks (no offense at all to Mesa, I love the desert) like the kind of far-from-Manhattan "shithole" to use a trumpism that he wouldn't have been caught dead at as a private citizen. Not fit for his greatness even then.
Kathy Brody, legal director for the Arizona division of the American Civil Liberties Union, said that if Trump had come to Phoenix again, the ACLU would have asked for a temporary restraining order (against the Phoenix PD, which gassed protesters after a Trump rally in 2017). But the Mesa rally makes that action moot.
Having a rally in downtown Phoenix is quite a bit different than having something out on the outskirts of Maricopa County, Brody said. I would urge the Mesa police to not follow the lead of the Phoenix Police Department and to make sure that theyre protecting protesters and not attacking them, she said.
