Of course the Associated Press "contributed" to this report. Meanwhile in reality, millions of dollars in damage has been caused by peaceful protesters in Seattle in recent days.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Sounds like they’re in rebellion.

[Vendome]

You got played dummy.

He doesn’t mean it one bit.

He wants you claim ownership and then let you run with it and use your stupid words against you this fall.

Think, Think, Think...Oh wait....Democrats=Zombies

She’s a “big talker”. Lots of inspiring speeches and no action

[Chgogal]

Tell these dumbass Mayors you get $X dollars starting today. Everyday you don’t get control of your city, thereby endangering your citizens, I will deduct $Y from $X. The sooner you get control of your city the more money you get. Now do you get Mayor Dumbass?

Insurance policies are voided during Federal occupation, iirc.

“The president’s threat to force U.S. military troops on local jurisdictions is unconstitutional and illegal, and shows a shocking lack of understanding about the use and work of our U.S. military.

Um, nope.

“The Insurrection Act

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255)[1] (until 2016, found at 10 US Code, Chapter 15, §§ 331–335, renumbered to 10 USC, Chapter 13, §§ 251–255) that governs the ability of the President of the United States to deploy military troops within the United States to put down lawlessness, insurrection, and rebellion. The general purpose is to limit presidential power, relying on state and local governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. Coupled with the Posse Comitatus Act, presidential powers for federal military law enforcement on U.S. soil and unincorporated territories are limited and delayed.

(1) The President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to–

(A) restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that–

(i) domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order; and

(ii) such violence results in a condition described in paragraph (2); or

(B) suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such insurrection, violation, combination, or conspiracy results in a condition described in paragraph (2).

(2) A condition described in this paragraph is a condition that–

(A) so hinders the execution of the laws of a State or possession, as applicable, and of the United States within that State or possession, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State or possession are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or

(B) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws. “

Durka-durka speaks again!

[Impala64ssa]

Sounds like the time when Ike ordered the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to make sure that high school was desegregated over the vehent objections of Gov Faubus, another DEMOCRAT.

[Jaded]

Do those idiot mayors and governors even know what’s in the constitution?

2020 brought to you by the letters w, t, f, a, n, t, I, f, a...

[eyedigress]

People in Seattle are over-whelmed. They don’t know what hit them.

Call it California.

[SmokingJoe]

But let me be clear: no U.S. Military troops are needed nor will they act as police in Seattle.”

Then better get your sh*t together then. If you continue to allow chaos arson and anarchy to rule, The Big Boss aka President Donald J Trump will take over.

[PghBaldy]

Heh Mayor Dorkin...Your peaceful protestors have overstayed the curfew...Need help????

[lapsus calami]

 

 

"We are a nation of laws and fundamental constitutional guarantees" - ROFL - then why aren't you enforcing them you lousy sad sack.

 

 

[Aqua225]

Trump should NOT get involved. Initially, I thought, he should.

But the more I think about it, he should not. The left wants this, let them have it. Let them wreck their own precious cities.

When all business has fled, they will come begging the Federal Government for bailouts & loans. And I will ask my Congress Critters to not approve a single on and ask my President not to sign any such law into existence, unless they want to abolish abortion, reinstate all gun rights, etc. Which won’t happen, so they will not get bailed out. That’s my view...

[wiley]

Funny how she talks about constitutional rights after she and Gov Inslee basically nullified the first amendment on behalf of covid 19. What a two faced _ss.

[Robert357]

Dear Lesbian Liberal Mayor of Seattle;

YOU are wrong.

“.....”The president’s threat to force U.S. military troops on local jurisdictions is unconstitutional and illegal, and shows a shocking lack of understanding about the use and work of our U.S. military. .....”

You, as an attorney and former US prosecutor are shockingly misinformed. But that is not new. You have violated the States Public Disclosure laws because you thought you knew better, but the courts caught you.

Go to Wikepedia and look up Insurrection Act. You will see in the second and third paragraphs that the President can send military troops to an areas where insurrection is happening with or without local government approval.

I personally, like the idea of the Insurrection Act being triggered because it sets up very long prison sentences for looters and rioters. Local jurisdictions are too soft on crime and would allow the offenses to be plea bargained down to time served in a holding cell.

[joma89]

Mayor durkan is the real criminal as are all leftist politicians and all who voted for them.

JoMa

[SkyPilot]

….."she served as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Washington, appointed by President Barack Obama, from October 2009 to September 2014. Durkan was elected the 56th mayor of Seattle in 2017, becoming the city's first female mayor since the 1920s and the city's second consecutive openly LGBT elected mayor......she coached a girls' basketball team...these investigations and law enforcement operations resulted in dozens of arrests and weapons confiscations

Obama appointee, homosexual, sexual predator of young girls.....gun grabber......Democrat...….what could go wrong?

[Morpheus2009]

The Insurrection Act was used on the Rodney King Riots.
