I want to see military tribunals investigate the Deep State.
I cannot lie and say this kind of talk doesn’t raise concerns, but if I am looking at the direction of this nation and the blue cities...it just might be needed.
Liberals will be sounding the wrongful imprisonment sirens next though...and raising money for their side to deal with all these legal shenanigans.
I don’t think the military or any Federal funds should ever be used to “quell violence in democrat cities and states”, they wanted it, they voted for it, they own it, let them keep it.
This violates the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.
The National Guard can be involved but not the Military.
Bad idea. If Trump uses the US military domestically, the next Democrat president will be emboldened to do the same. And you can be sure that Democrat will not have the best interests of America at heart.
So if there is trouble in, say, New York City call out the New York National Guard.
The only exception is guarding the nation’s borders. That’s where the military belongs. And that’s where it isn’t.
So ABC News will helpfully make up some options to scare their ignorant AF news consumers.
LBJ did not hesitate to deploy the military for the riots of the 1960’s, JFK sent the military to enforce integration, protect civil rights protesters.
And Ike deployed paratroopers to Little Rock to integrate the high school in 1957.
There are precedents.
So who stopped him. He was too busy dancing at rallies. Hope he actually does better this time.
Um, no, thank you.
He already brought in murderous martial law via Operation Warp Speed.
Like a parent’s threat of a giving good spanking used to be enough to keep the misbehaving kids in line, Trump uses rhetorical threats to make his point. He did that successfully with Russia and North Korea. And, yet we had peaceful relations during his term. Having the looters believe they’ll be shot could be enough to keep the miserable cowards at home.
Wouldn’t that be in violation of the Posse Comitatus act?
This will not turn out well.
The military cannot be trusted to obey orders from Donald Trump. We already saw that in his previous term when they refused to withdraw American forces from Syria on his instructions. Or when a top-level American general promised to warn China of any orders of American military action against Chinese forces.
A very thorough purge of the military forces would be required before attempting to deploy them in American cities to quell insurrections. Assuming that Trump can be reelected, he won't have enough time to reorganize the military before the Democrats start the insurrections.
Let the cities burn instead.
If you review some of the riot videos Charlottesville for instance has government guys on the roofs of the building throwing firecrackers at the peaceful crowds. So he should start with his own government people and purge the ranks of commies first from the fibs cia and military.
The military is the only way.
Trump is not talking about regular military. He has always talked about using the National Guard.
“While deploying the military regularly within the country’s borders would be a departure from tradition...”
It’s more than that as it violates the Constitution. There are only two times the US military can get involved within a state and do what they are designed to do. They can respond to an attack upon persons and property by non-US citizens or they can be invited in by the state to support the Law Enforcement under title orders. So Trump’s hand will be tied unless he is asked by the state or protecting federal property or people on federal land. Common crime is the responsibility of the state. And the only independent fed group that can enter a state to respond to federal needs involving civilians is homeland security getting illegals who are federal criminals under the ICE program.

Wasn’t it the NG that put an end to the 60’s at Kent State.?
