Once upon a time, some time after the North Koreans had "captured" a Navy "spy ship", the USS Pueblo, a US Army general "suggested" a project to take one of their fish factory ships to exchange for the captured ship and its crew. This message passed through my hands and I agonized over the stupidity of the plan until a response came telling the general to stop meddling in affairs about which he knew nothing. Yes, lots of ideas are "floated" while working to solve a problem. As Walt Disney explained, never judge ideas in the initial phase of problem solving. Judgments stifle creativity and even bad ideas can inspire good ones. But that's not what we're dealing with here, is it? What we have here is hysteria, a time during which the hysterics are jumping at every shadow, even their own. In fact, we seem to have moved beyond even that point. The Left is truly now bat shit crazy

CPT Jack Durish - No... that always was the headline. There was also: https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-17/trump-weighs-mobilizing-nat-guard-for-immigration-roundups and: http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/02/18/world/politics-diplomacy-world/homeland-security-memo-shows-national-guard-troops-considered-rounding-illegal-immigrants/#.WKifnH-nLeo
Trump Weighs Mobilizing National Guard for Immigration Roundups: AP
A draft memo obtained by The Associated Press outlines a Trump administration proposal under consideration to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants. Millions of those who would be affected in 11 states live nowhere near the Mexico border.

I get the sense that in the Mainstream Media's pitch meetings, if someone says "Hey why don't we print a story claiming that Donald Trump did...he is immediately stopped and the editor yells "APPROVED, PRINT THAT" without ever hearing what the story is.
