Trump refused to call in Troops on January 6"Now he's deploying them to LA against the governor's wishes.

As Rep. Seth Moulton said: "Kind of amazing that Trump wants to do this in LA, and it's pretty obvious, because he's always dreamed of politicizing the military."[image or embed]

How is this not a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act?

The Posse Comitatus Act (PCA), enacted in 1878, generally prohibits the use of the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement purposes. It aims to prevent the military from being used to enforce laws unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution. The Act primarily applies to the Army and Air Force, with other military branches governed by separate legislation.

Rioters wouldn't have had a reason to riot if ICE Brownshirts weren't kidnapping people off of the streets and holding them separate from their children in a basement.

And they would have had no reason to continue rioting had Trump not sent in troops against the Gov's wishes; they weren't needed, and they only exacerbated the problem.

Why not invoke the Insurrection Act and make all of this legal? Even Trump knows what he's doing is illegal per his own words:

"We have laws. We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor."

This is a f u ckin' lie, you idiot cultist:

Nancy Pelosi did not have authority over the deployment of the National Guard on January 6, nor did she block or prevent the Guard from being sent to quell the riots at the U.S. Capitol.

- As Speaker of the House, Pelosi did not control the National Guard. The decision to deploy the Guard to the Capitol is made by the Capitol Police Board, which consists of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the Architect of the Capitol. The House Sergeant at Arms reports to the Speaker, but there is no evidence that Pelosi directed or prevented the Guard's deployment[2][3][4].
- The Capitol Police Board chose not to call the Guard before the attack, but did request assistance after the rioting began. The National Guard arrived several hours later[2][4].
- There is no evidence that Pelosi was informed of any request for Guard deployment before January 6 or that she rejected any such request. In fact, once the attack was underway, Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell both called for military assistance, including the National Guard[2][3][4].
- Claims made by former President Trump and some Republican lawmakers that Pelosi "turned down" or blocked National Guard assistance have been repeatedly debunked by multiple fact-checks and official timelines[2][3][4].
- Newly released video footage and reporting show Pelosi expressing frustration that the Guard was not already present and questioning why security preparations were inadequate. She is seen asking, "Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?" and later stating, "I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more," referring to her own sense of leadership responsibility, not operational control[1][3][5][6].

I don't know if they've been given unlawful orders yet.

If they have been given orders for deployment on US soil in a law enforcement capacity, they've been given unlawful orders.

My last hope was the military refusing to partake in this nonsense.

How are they unlawful? The problem is Newsom and Bass said they wouldn't help the Federal Agents protect themselves.

This enabled Trump to give orders under 12406

12406. National Guard in Federal service: call
Whenever-
(1) the United States, or any of the Commonwealths or possessions, is invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation;
(2) there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States; or
(3) the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States;

the President may call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary to repel the invasion, suppress the rebellion, or execute those laws. Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of the National Guard of the District of Columbia.
uscode.house.gov

Also most cases like the J6 would be file as misdemeanors had been handled via citations as has long been done for protesters inside the Capitol/Federal property who disrupt ongoing proceedings, those offenses would not have been pardoned.

But the Biden Admin. charged "A" misdemeanors in almost every case, and 5 year felony offense that only involves not promptly obeying the lawful order of a law enforcement officer during a "civil disorder" instead.

I expect Bondi to do the same no?

That was the stretch used to go around Newsom and activate the NG.

There is no legal standing to use active duty military.

And when the violence explodes (which is the intent I believe...), that will be used to justify the only legal declaration that allows posse comitatus to be violated - grabbing of power under the insurrection act.

At which point, the United States will cease to exist but in name only.

He's normalizing the use of of the US military against the country's own citizens.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered significant cuts to the Pentagon's senior ranks, aiming to eliminate redundant positions and streamline the military's bureaucracy. This resulted in the removal of about 100 generals and admirals. Some have interpreted this as a "purge" of military leaders, particularly those perceived as being "woke" or promoting diversity in the ranks.

Here we go, exactly as predicted:

When recently asked, "What is the bar for sending Marines into the Los Angeles riots?", Donald Trump responded: "The bar is what I think it is." He elaborated, "If we see danger to our country and to our citizens, I will be very, very strong in terms of law and order. It's about law and order. We'll send whatever we need to make sure there's law and order"[6].

Trump refused to specify a concrete threshold, emphasizing his personal discretion and the need to respond forcefully to protect the country and its citizens[6].

When Trump says, "The bar is what I think it is," he suggests that the decision to deploy Marines is based on his personal judgment rather than a clear legal standard.

This raises legal concerns, as it risks bypassing laws like the Insurrection Act and could lead to unchecked presidential power and misuse of the military.

Which I'm sure SCOTUS will sign off.

Just some reminders

The "illegals" that are at issue are a combination of a WIDE variety of people including

1. People who slipped across the border to work
2. People who slipped across the border to commit crimes
3. People who overstayed a visa of various kinds-work, school, tourist, etc.
4. People who applied for and received Temporary Protected Status
5. People who are in the process of applying for TPS
6. Dreamers-i.e. people who were brought here many, many years ago as children

and others

Shitler intentionally obfuscates by claiming there many many violent criminals and those are who will be targeted for deportation.

But he also says MASS deportation. Those 2 things cannot be jibed. There are not MASSIVE numbers of violent criminals, they are a very very small percentage of the undocumented.

THUS, the intention is mass deportation.

Right or wrong that is in reality a valid position to take, to remove all of those who are not here with legal justification. However, that ignores the fact that many are TPS immigrants and their status would have to be revoked, they are undocumented, but here legally.

Shitler is NOT doing this that way

He is heavy handily aggressively removing people here under a VARIETY of categories-legally and illegally, many without due process.

He COULD do this mass deportation in a humane manner that meets the goals that he allegedly wants to achieve. He could establish a program to remove people that are here illegally through the courts (we could have sufficient courts if he hadn't killed the bipartisan immigration bill). He could seek congressional approval for the removal of TPS for a host or categories.

I believe most Americans are fine with allowing immigrants with TPS who have legitimate claims to be here, those are not the one's who most people want deported. Ex. the Haitians in Springfield OH will likely face deportation, despite being here legally, working hard, not committing crimes, to the point that they have revived a failing midwestern City, where they were encouraged to relocate to.

Shitler would have to act like an adult and have an adult conversation with Americans, i.e. we want to discourage immigration, we want to shut down the border, we want to have a vigorous public debate on TPS.

Trump admitted as much:

Here is a legal breakdown for Trump's actions.

" Section 12406 dictates that "Orders for [purposes of calling the Guard into federal service] shall be issued through the governors of the [relevant] States." This is apparently the bone of contention for California's Governor Gavin Newsom. A Democrat obviously planning a 2028 White House run, Newsom is persisting in his party's penchant for siding with illegal aliens and their radical allies against everyday Americans and law enforcement " the penchant largely responsible for Trump's improbable political comeback and 2024 victory.

I doubt Newsom's claims will get much traction. Section 12406 neither requires the president to seek a governor's permission to federalize the National Guard, nor gives a governor a veto over such federalization"

As a caveat, in the same piece this was written near the beginning of it:

" Having mass-pardoned rioters who stormed the Capitol and injured scores of police officers (all in a tawdry, Justice Department"supported project to promote the false claim that Donald Trump won the 2020 election), this president is morally ill-suited to invoke extraordinary powers to put down political violence that obstructs federal functions. Implicit in that contention, though, is that these extraordinary powers are, in fact, embedded in our law."

Tell us, JEFF, was Trump lying or mistaken when he said the following: "We have laws. We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor."

As stated above, this was usurped when the Governor expressed that they would not cooperate with the Federal Government, this enables the President to do this without the governors intervention.

The Federal Government has absolute authority to execute Federal law, this is not in disupute.

This override also occurred when Alabama didn't want African Americans to attend the University of Alabama, JFK took over the alabama NG and usurped the governors authority.

JFK did this throughout the civil rights era.

This is going to end up being WAY worse than BLM riots. I mean, that was just over one guy. Trump didn't have the balls to "send in the troops" to save Portland or Minneapolis. But for some reason, he has a hard-on for Los Angeles? He said himself, "I'll send troops everywhere!" Coming to a town near you.

McDonnell also went out of his way to express gratitude to people who have engaged in peaceful demonstrations across the city, noting that those out committing acts of violence are not the same people seen exercising their First Amendment rights during the day. [1]

"The people who are out there doing the violence...they have a hoodie on, they have a a face mask on...these are people who do this all the time," McDonnell said of the most violent protestors, who said "many come in from other places just to hurt people and cause havoc." [2]

It's true that we can't read his mind, but the historical record shows that presidents weigh multiple factors"legal, political, and practical"when deciding whether to deploy the Guard. Trump had the authority, but often deferred to governors, except for now like LA recently. Why is that? Was he incompetent?

So it wouldn't have just been a mistake. You're suggesting it would have been completely lawful for him to send in not only NG but also Marines to stamp out rioters in BLM related cities. That's outright negligence, according to your line of thinking.

Yet, now he's been told that he TOTALLY could have sent in NG and Marines to put down the riots in numerous cities, but people around him told him (accurately) that in order to do so, he would have to invoke the Insurrection Act. Now he has people telling him (according to you) that it's totally legit to do so without Governor's request?

Make it make sense, JEFF.

I've already provided a link that explains how the Insurrection Act can be invoked here. The link also lays out how Article II empowers POTUS to act.

In 2020 Tru:p screwed the pooch and the riots went on for 6 months. They went on that long because they were allowed to go on that long. Sen Cotton wrote an op Ed in NYT making a case for sending the Guard. Trump should have listened. He didn't and that's on him.

Of course it's ALSO on the leaders of places like Portland, Oregon who sat on their hands and allowed their cities to burn, people to be killed and a collective sum of about $2 Billion in property damage across the country.

Doing so by federalizing the National Guard without a Governor's request and doing so anyway is violating the law. Which would be clear evidence of fascism, if not authoritarianism. Waiting for your explanation specific to #207.

Let what go? Your fantasy?!?

93% of the BKM protests were completely peaceful.

Using the same barometer, the J6 riots were 100% violent.

Not to mention, one was righteously protesting second-class citizenship, the other was a riot to violently overthrow the valid results of a national election.

It takes a classless water carrier to equate the two.
