Against Riots, Crime and Illegal Migrants

During the turbulent summer of 2020, President Donald J. Trump raged at his military and legal advisers, calling them “losers” for objecting to his idea of using federal troops to suppress outbreaks of violence during the nationwide protests over the police murder of George Floyd.
It wasn’t the only time Mr. Trump was talked out of using the military for domestic law enforcement — a practice that would carry profound implications for civil liberties and for the traditional constraints on federal power. He repeatedly raised the idea of using troops to secure border states, and even proposed shooting both violent protesters and undocumented migrants in the legs, former aides have said.
In his first term in office, Mr. Trump never realized his expansive vision of using troops to enforce the law on U.S. soil. But as he has sought a return to power, he has made clear that he intends to use the military for a range of domestic law enforcement purposes, including patrolling the border, suppressing protests that he deems to have turned into riots and even fighting crime in big cities run by Democrats.
“In places where there is a true breakdown of the rule of law, such as the most dangerous neighborhoods in Chicago, the next president should use every power at his disposal to restore order — and, if necessary, that includes sending in the National Guard or the troops,” Mr. Trump said at a conservative conference in Dallas in August 2022, shortly before announcing that he was running to be that next president.
During his time out of power, allies of Mr. Trump have worked on policy papers to provide legal justifications for the former president’s intent to use the military to enforce the...

Riots, Crime and Migrants = democrats
Trump loves Maggie H that Covington Ky white boy hater and
allowed this Monster leftist full
access to the WH in 2016-2020 .
Is he still allowing
this Evil access .
I am sure he is .
Why do you think he “loves” a NYT reporter?
Alinski 101: Accuse your enemy of what you plan on doing.
I fully support using US troops and other military assets to secure our borders.
Period. Full Stop.
They are not migrants, they are not people seeking asylum, they are people who wish to escape their third-world-shitholes by breaking our laws to come into this country and suck on the teat of US taxpayer money.
They are being allowed into this country by Domestic Enemies of this country who wish to subvert the Constitution.
IOW, Democrats.
They are invaders.
MAGA 2024!
full 100% agreement!
How else can you defend yourself against domestic enemies?
A good case can be made to use the federal military in defense of the border against invaders, whether the invaders wore uniforms or not.
Here again, I want a video recording as proof before any further discussion. Not going to depend on NYT for the Truth.
We should be able to handle things without the domestic use of the active military, except at the border where it has a national defense mission, but we have used them in the past.
In Detroit for example.
“some 8,000 Michigan Army National Guardsmen were deployed to quell the disorder. Later, their number would be augmented with 4,700 paratroopers from both the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions”
WTF are you talking about! Did you forget to take your meds this morning?
Riots, Crime and Migrants INVADERS...
I hope Trump deputizes all the members of the unorganized militia to take out the trash.
Charlie Savage, Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman will be at the top of the list. /spit
He needs to. And the media should be targeted, too. BUT... If he somehow gets re elected, however, he won’t have the guts to do it. And we will have 24/7 riots along with the illegal invaders, and we will be destroyed. Because he has the stink of Repugnic-nt on him. Which means he becomes weak and stupid. And most of his advisors are trash. And he will be too focused on what Israel wants and needs, apparently.
