Trump has a special relationship with the Marines.

He can put them all on the border on a whim if he so desires.

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

Tanks, howitzers, heavy machine guns, helicopters, Warthogs...the media would go nuts and nobody would approach the border.

Have the Warthogs patrol the border at very low altitude at near max cruise speed....have them fly on the Mexican side of the border!

The Warthog at 300ft and 350mph would be a frightful thing. The two huge turbofans would make a sound that would rattle your bones at such low altitude.

The Warthog ain't pretty or fast, it is a scary thing that is sort of like a light tank that flies.

Shut down all trade with Mexico for 30 days if they do not act.

Forbid all remittances to Mexico for a year.

Place the country under martial law if need be and use the entire armed forces at that point.

And get the Corp of Engineers working on the wall...light a fire under their ass.

Have federal marshals arrest all public officials in sanctuary cites.

Trump has the power to do all of these things.

Mess with a genius-level, street-smart, Queens boy and buddy, you got problems.

I don't know about you but I'm pissed, it's time to stop phukin around with this.

Low-level Warthogs

Brother you’re not the only one, and when I expressed that myself last evening on another thread I was harshly rebuked by some die-hard Trumpers (even though I’m one) for sounding off about the lack of resolve to get this damn job DONE. To hell with the RATs and RINOs in Congress and the Obamabots in the Courts, Trump needs to employ his full powers as CINC and get the southern border sealed — like NOW!

Those Warthogs are scary... when they fly over, you either shit your pants, or you yell, “Hell yeah!” ... depending on what side you are on.

“The Warthog at 300ft and 350mph would be a frightful thing”......

The troops that have seen the Warthog up close KNOW! I live about 10 miles from a military training area for aircraft air attacks. I too have seen and heard the Warthog doing its thing, “like a fire breathing dragon” as the nose mounted Gatling gun spits out its fire. You DO NOT want to be the intended target, TRUST ME.

you think the A-10 gatling gun should be used only on children or women ?

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

The Department of the Navy treats the Act as if it does. But that's really immaterial as the act deals with using the military for civil law enforcement. Using the military to repel foreign invaders has nothing to do with posse comitatus. It is the military doing what it is supposed to do...keeping foreign invaders out of our country.

Posse comitatus does NOT apply to the Marines.

Posse Comitatus only prevents the use of U.S. military forces being used to police American citizens. It does not restrict a president from deploying our military to repel foreign invasions.

Trump can put the Navy Seals on the Rio Grande, if he likes.

Trump has the power to do all of these things.

We thought he had the will too, but there Sessions is.
