It’s a mistake to deploy active duty troops inside CONUS. Something will happen, and it will absolutely be pinned on the president. Let the blue states burn. And I say that from far behind enemy lines in California.

National Guard troops were deployed in LA in full battle rattle in 1992. It wasn't that big a deal.

Currently, *Republicans* expect Trump to put down the riots and will blame him if the disorder continues. Longtime Trump supporters online are raging at his inaction and saying he doesn't deserve to be re-elected, because he is letting the Democrats (pols, rioters and looters alike) whale on them by destroying their property, life savings and jobs while standing aside. Think Katrina aftermath. Tell them about Posse Comitatus, and you'll draw a blank stare. My suspicion is the late response to the riots was a key factor in Bush Sr's 1992 defeat. And that lasted only 6 days. We are now in the 9th day of the George Floyd riots.

Yeah, the guard is good.

Not the army.
