1878 Posse Comitatus Act places strong guardrails against a president using active duty military troops to uphold civil laws on US soil

Mr Trump"wants to dominate the streets with the National Guard, with a police presence," Ms McEnany said, claiming the press had taken a comment from the president in a phone call with governors earlier in the day out of context.

Screw him and his military, your time is around the corner

And? He STILL won’t be punished for it

Like that will stop him.

Does Military serve President or America & American People?

The real title should read “Rioters risk breaking the law by committing arson and looting stores, which Trump seeks to put an end to”

ScottPBoyd Treasonous coward.

Trump riding hard on whiteprivilege supporters for re-election -Obama made economy run is over -100k deaths is on him -Mexico/China not whore he thought of -reality tv / reality is two diff world Trump TrumpDeathToll100K Riot2020 dcblackout BlackLiveMattters racism blm

So everybody is breaking the law... from the ones coordinating, funding, looters, thugs, etc. and Trump can’t use anything to control it because he’d get accuse of breaking the law. Only in America!

Isn’t this what the military is for 🤷‍♂️

Key words there 'suppress riots' not 'suppress protests' a massive difference.

America as we have not seen it before, the Trump version

How is it illigal to use the military when people are literally burning buildings down and looting and attacking innocent people; thats just pure anarchy. People stop being political protestors when they start doing shit like that.

I thought they had all kinds of amendments to protect them from this?

Uh oh! He could get in trouble...hahahahahahahahaha...sob.

Not the first time

What's new, Trump has been breaking the law his entire life.

witheverytweet This can never happen in Nigeria 🤦🏻‍♂️ Buhari will use it anyhow

The insurrection act can be used but it has to be specific, such the LA Riots. You can’t use it against protesters.

Trump risks breaking the law by using military to stop rioters. Rioters risk more people dying needlessly if they aren't stopped. Looters caught running from burning shops with televisions saying 'who's George Floyd'? People are disrespecting the memory of George Floyd!!!

He has to do whatever it takes to protect innocent people from terriosts

Did not someone else died in a bunker ? And was a racist ! Can’t think of he’s name ?

The potus after being elected is meant to represent all americans? To be conciliatory, bring people together? This paranoid dickhead only represents his base and doesn't give a fcuk about any other american.

ReporterPhoenix So? The congressional GOP have already told him he can do whatever he wants and they’ll back him.

maybe he is just trying to bring peace and democracy like in the middle east by military

Yea, that's stopped him in the past.

Why is he so unable to just look as the issues? His default is to inflame/attack...and then hide away until something else comes along. Any leader should be looking at ‘why’ and addressing that.

Trump is a prick. BunkerBoy

The National guard cant be used to protect the country against riots and insurgents on American ground? now thats interesting.

I don't think he gives a fuck.

Dont worry Bunker Boy is definately shitting himself in the bunker

The president cannot break the law, that’s what we found out from the Mueller investigation. That’s why ObamaGate is horseshit because a sitting president cannot he charged with a crime

In 3+ years, he has cared not one bit about this. He feels as though he IS the law.

Since when has Trump ever cared about laws? When has Trump ever been held accountable for breaking the laws?

Like that's ever stopped bunkerboy.
