Not sure why my link directly to the YouTube video was flagged, since this is valid news from a legitimate (centrist) news source PBS NewsHour.
The rumor is apparently becoming more widespread among politicians and people who work in government. That the Trump administration is probing for ways to create the conditions for invoking the Insurrection Act. Both the left of center and right of center commentators are both in agreement that the Trump administration is trying to do everything that it can to be as unproductive as possible in the loudest most obnoxious ways.
Please look this up for yourself if curious, and search for the video titled: "Capehart and Ponnuru on the politics of Israel's attack and Iran's response"
Everyone seems to have an interest in presenting things in the most alarmist terms. Even if either side's claims were sober reporting sans spin, I would personally appreciate less alarmism. People are already on edge. Partisans everywhere are at each other's throats.
We need more compassion and less insinuation of malice.
You are absolutely right more compassion and willingness to compromise is needed though.
