Not a good move. Leave it to governors and national guard. Even in the worst 1960s riots I don’t think the insurrection act was brought out.

I think it even may that that is what the Left is attempting to provoke Trump into doing. I think it’s a bad move.

This time it really IS insurrection.

The troops will be deployed strategically. They need to break the insurgents and the governors with unarmed NG are incapable of that.

You didn’t bother to check out a bloody thing before judging the President, did you? It was invoked after Hurricane Hugo (1989) and the Los Angeles - Rodney King riots (1992), and was even amended in 2006 to clarify that it should have been used after Hurrican Katrina (2005): “During the crucial hours that followed the hurricane’s landfall, Governor Blanco asked President Bush to “send everything you have got.” However, the Governor refused to relinquish control of the state National Guard troops to the President. Moreover, Governor Blanco did not want federal troops entering the area to assist with law enforcement.”

In fact, the media’s labelling it as “The Insurrection Act” is itself political mischief. The current act is called, “Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order.”

The Left is trying to lay an impeachment trap for Trump. They are sitting on their hands just waiting for Trump to "send in the troops" so they can act on it. They don't care if the cities are burned down. They just want to "get Trump."

It won't work.
