Trump tells "weak" governors: “If you don’t dominate, you’re wasting your time”

He definitely is.

MSNBC is reporting a move is afoot in DC to use the Insurrection Act to deploy active duty military against the protesters. If this happens, I respectfully predict we are fucked.

More specifically, he’s explicitly calling for the execution of war crimes on his own fellow citizens.

Aren’t there troops out in LA already?
Police don’t wear camo, right?

Yeah, in a democracy that right there would be grounds for expulsion from the senate even if it was “meant metaphorically” or “ironically”, which absolutely will be his next reaction, together with complaining about the thin skin of “liberals”.

National Guard is state controlled. This would be, potentially and literally the 101st Airborne. Different ball of wax all together.

“Things can get worse!?”

If 2020 would stop saying “Hold my beer,” every time we ask that, that would be great.

We need to quit asking that question, and start asking ‘how do we fix it?’

It’s probably the best advice he got in days about the situation but this dumbass motherfucker got really bent out of shape about what the governor said

Thank you. I literally refuse to listen to that voice and only read transcripts as well.

Pritzker should take his own advice and take pro-active steps to reform Illinois police. Why wait for the White House?

Active troops, such as the 101st as you mentioned, are title 10 forces and cannot be used for law enforcement. They can be used to transport people, move supplies, erect roadblock and run checkpoints (list not all inclusive) but cannot arrest anybody or use force against civilians. They could ‘accidentally’ kettle protestors with said roadblocks and point out people for arrest.

National guard troops under the orders of the governor are title 32 forces and can be used for law enforcement. They can also do all the things active troops can do as outlined above.

Of course this goes out the window if the insurrection act is invoked, and I know just the guy who would invoke it ( hint: he’s an orange dickhead).

Police have all kinds of camo, in a variety of stylish patterns! I’m sure they hold their own fashion shows too.

Oooh, nice kevlar codpiece, do you have it in anything besides matte black?

Apparently due process is, you know, optional.
