Trump threatens 'unlimited power of our military' against out-of-state rioters
Washington Examiner ^ | may 30, 2020 | Anthony Leonardi

President Trump promised to use the power of the military to intervene against rioting if states fail to take a more aggressive action to control them.

"Crossing State lines to incite violence is a FEDERAL CRIME! Liberal Governors and Mayors must get MUCH tougher or the Federal Government will step in and do what has to be done, and that includes using the unlimited power of our Military and many arrests. Thank you!"

Don’t say it, President Trump... do it.

The reason these animals get away with this is because they’re being ALLOWED to get away with it.

I don’t like it when our own government starts talking about their “unlimited power” against our own citizens. I love Trump but I don’t like him exercising totalitarian-like power.

MAGA BY RESTORING LIMITED GOVERNMENT AND OUR FREE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!!!!

The military canot even defend themseles in a war zone. They will be target practice and have bounties on them. Ridiculous waste of lives. Burn it until the citizens demand the right to defend themselves.

Time to RICO up, and lop off the head of this snake.

These people are being paid. How hard is it to track the
funds back to their source?

Should take the right government agency about twenty minutes.

How many Fergusons are we going to allow, before our
leaders pull their heads out and get this done?

Trump isn’t my target, but don’t just warn. Let them find
out when they are trapped on both ends and arrested in
mass.

give them more severe charges. It worked in soccer in the UK.
The police recorded the leaders and at 4 in the morning they went in to their house and arrested them. Now if anyone is caught fighting then they can get up to 5 years prison.

Marshall Law will enable the US Military to make arrests.

Article IV Section 4 should override Posse Comitatus and let the President deploy the military to put down these organized riots.

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Look up the Insurrection Act of 1807.

“Marshall Law will enable the US Military to make arrests.”

I’m not sure who Marshall Law is and why he can tell the US Military what to do.

The only REAL solution is to identify and execute the treasonous maggots behind this insurrection.

Whether covertly or overtly can be a matter of (limited) debate, as long as it ends up being done.

Repeat as necessary.

OK so you’ve told me how Trump would imposed totalitarian powers against American citizens. Great. Wonderful. Now I feel better.

Don’t people get that our own mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion federal government is the greatest threat to our freedom and well-being?

Start small against these Leftist thugs and find the Dems who are behind all this.

Yep. And that still works for me.

We’ll see how many Soros diehards remain when the death
toll of their comrades hits 1000.

“I don’t like it when our own government starts talking about their “unlimited power” against our own citizens.”

It was a poor choice of words. Unlimited? There is no such thing. :-) There’s always limits.

I doubt Trump is planning to go “full bore China” against the protesters. We will see what Trump actually does.

unfortunately some mayors and governors are unwilling or incompetent to manage a disturbance.

Look at the judgement and abuse of solemn governors on the pandemic.
