It is illegal to send the Marines into LA

[Politruk]

Because of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Should be illegal...

Not should be, is. The regular military, as opposed to the National Guard, cannot be used for domestic policing.

 

[Politruk]

I haven't researched this, but I am fairly certain Newsom is right -- it is also illegal for the president to federalize a state's NG without first consulting the governor.

 

[Politruk]

Let there be no misunderstanding: You can't use Marines to put down a riot. That is a form of domestic policing.

Yet another thread based on a lie brought to you by an idiot.

There are no lies in this. The PSA is a real law.

I seem to recall you called Newsom a liar for making a speech with no lies in it -- was that you?

oh look...a man whose blood alcohol level routinely surpasse's his IQ on the weekend's referring to someone else as an "idiot".

No you aren't, if you were you wouldn't have started this thread.

The thread addresses a very real and important issue. And no Trumper is in any position to call anyone an idiot -- or a liar.

So it is your assertion that the administration cannot deploy troops to secure federal government property, is that right?

It cannot deploy troops for domestic policing, and that includes riot control.

That's not what they're doing moron.

"USMC Commandant Gen. Eric Smith on Wednesday said the Marines are acting under NORTHCOM’s direction and are limited to protecting federal property and personnel, not engaging in broader law enforcement."

Not even you believe that. Trump didn't send them in just to protect federal property.

Look, another fucking mind reader. How could such a small forum be blessed with so many morons?

People who went to college really are smarter than you -- even the ones who majored in queer theory of basket weaving.

Does anyone find it funny that a guy who calls himself "Rebelsoul" (along with like fifteen other screen id's) is so openly admiring of jack-booted tyranny, fascism and oppression?

You're no "Rebel." You're the fucking Stormtroopers. Worshiping at the feet of your beloved Emporor Palpatine. At least have the honesty to stick to your other screen names, because lord knows you have enough of them.

Nice attempt at deflection.

They're not engaged in law enforcement. Are you purposely being stupid.

No one is asking anyone else to pay off their student loans. What they are asking for is forgiveness of predatory interest payments after the principal has been paid off.

But I doubt HDH understands a word of the above.

What you and others like you are basing your argument on here is simply a matter of plausible deniability. "They're only defending governmental property" probably is technically legal. But is that really all that's happening? Keep in mind that we're talking about Trump, who has a decades-long track record of ignoring any law he doesn't like, too.

No, it is perfectly natural with him...................and many others here as well. For the Marines, and by extension Trump, to follow the law is at odds with their imaginary narrative.
