His duty is to protect against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Domestic enemies, by definition, are taking over our nation’s cities.
I see no issue here.
“Annotation: Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster.”
If Trump does this, while crime will go down, the optics of a tyrant will be the rat talking point.
Here is your setup for CW2. States refuse to protect citizens and deliberately persecute the people of the wrong color. Next is the states refuse to comply with Federal regulations and Federal statutes. There is your open rebellion. I think we are damn close to that. Watch after Trump wins in November, succession talk begins and some states actually vote for it and begin to expel Republican members of their state government legislatures. Federal troops are dispatched..Supreme Court intercedes, Trump ignores them and then expels Democrat members as seditionists. The military proclaims fielty to the President and we have a real sh*t storm. I think we are about to see the black population go from 12% down to less than 5% as they side with the insurrection. We are at a crisis not seen since 1775 or 1860.
well then who exactly is Trump talking about when he says what he is saying?
His rhetoric should match his actions. Otherwise it appears that he doesn't know what he's talking about or he was never serious about doing something to begin with. Either way he appears weak.
The president can and this one will do exactly that when and if necessary. Once he does it the civil’s elected along with those judges and courts cease to operate, leaving the military and UCMJ. A few months o UCMJ would be enough that our grand children would never see it again due to the loss of DNC control as a result of their failed bag of tricks.
you are making the assumption that fully half of all blacks will take part in this.
Maybe 20 percent..and I doubt it.
I’ve seen a lot of marches and rallies and looting and rioting in brooklyn
And i saw a LOT of black men and women going about their business wanting no part of it
That would be a question for the President because I haven't a clue as to what he's talking about.
Obama
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Uh...hmmm. So if they defund the police right....
Win the election this is what they plan to create.
In fact, we may see cities with these even if Trump does win. Mind you they are not looking at a civilian level force...they are talking ‘just as powerful as our military.’ They don’t want OUR military...they want one of their own.
Really? And what clause of the Constitution grants him the authority to take cities over?
OK then.. :)
“Sometimes I wish he’d just shut up.
As much as we’d like him to, he can’t do it and he won’t do it.”
I will stand with you, I am not scared of Herd Mentality here. You are a voter and you have a right to express your opinion. It is a Free Country...
My mother made the same comment the other day.
One word: “Vietnam”.
> President Trump says federal government may “take over cities” to combat rising crime <
We are far from needing that. Crime in a city is a local problem. And if the mayor can’t handle it, then it becomes the governor’s problem. And the governor can call out the National Guard.
Oh, one more thing. Trump is doing a master job of trolling here. His comment will probably make the evening news. And it will get people thinking.
When a DA with allegiance to Soros takes away your guns because you used them protect your home from a mob. Yea, maybe the Feds should get involved.
Boy I hope you are right. I don't think we have an open conflict with armies battling each other, but more guerilla\terrorist type activity by the states that secede as provisional governments are set up in places like Sacamento\Portland\Olympia\Springfield and Albany. The FBI quadruples in size as mass arrests occur and academia is basically brought to a standstill as the seditionists are rooted out, college student agitators are rounded up in the inner cites open warfare with 10's of thousands of blacks dead, wounded and imprisoned. Tech giants are shut down. Bad stuff folks. This is a seminal moment in history, will we go the way of Rome in the 5th century or survive and be even stronger? The barbarians are at the gates of Rome, time for talk is over.
Not sure that was wise, all he needs to do is SHUT UP and coast, the left is destroying itself, it’s an object lesson for all. This could really hurt his election chances, foolish move, it’s what the left has been saying he’d to.
All he had to freakin’ do was coast the win, just damn !
Ike did it...
There is nothing easy about this and I don’t have all the answers beyond my belief that allowing this to continue (it’s going to get worse) in many cities throughout America is INTOLERABLE for a whole host of moral, legal, and ethical reasons. These situations also undermine the constitutional rights of Americans.
There are MILLIONS of children in these communities who are going to have a tough go of it in the best of times. They are not to blame for their circumstances and each of them have God-given potential if they are given a chance. Allowing gangs and criminals to take over their community deprives them of their rights as American citizens. IF we do not tolerate crime zones in our neighborhoods why do we tolerate it in theirs? At some point you have to break the cycle and we cannot rely on the democrats to do it. This is the President to do it and I believe it is the right time.
We need to stop this now because it is the right thing to do. That is my sole reason. Most citizens who live in these communities want law and order and want what is best for their kids.
All of his other initiatives to help improve lives in the inner-city as I said will be made worthless by anarchy and lawlessness. Does it all make more sense now why some seem to want this chaos no matter the price paid by kids?
The President has said that Charter Schools and breaking the monolithic hold of the teacher’s unions on school systems is the Civil Rights Question of our time. I think he is right, but this initiative will be meaningless if these communities are unrecognizable from violence. This has gone too far - too fast.
Smart;
1) Media is outraged
2) Media is forced to talk about the violence
3) 80% of voters are against the violence and support Trump’s position
4) Trump poll numbers go up again
