    I actually thought that, since he is a disciple of the prez. But like the prez, does party even matter at that level in government? Perhaps he is a lobbyist of the corporatist sort, since he stays clear of threads containing "follow the money".

    Me wonders ;-)

    It is not growing the federal government to use the military in a manner envisioned by the Founding Fathers to protect against a nationwide insurrection intended to impose communism.

    The Insurrection Act was passed in 1807 for just such an emergency where the local government couldn't or wouldn't deal with the problem.

    But if the governors allow this to get farther out of hand and do not defend the rights of their citizens then it will become an insurrection and Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act.
    Here's another idea. Trump can declare that he will pardon anyone who is prosecuted by the state for legitimately defending their lives or property from looters, vandals, arsonists, criminals, etc.

    The founding fathers, Anti-Federalists, were not heeded, so no.

    I don't need or want any "help me save me" from fed.gov or the president. They mucked everything up so far to the point there is no turning back. See the first sentence of this post, again.

    It's pretty obvious after a while that he uses most of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals right here on RPF. Pushes for leftist policies of big government, central authority, never comments on anything that is already in place as planks of the Communist Manifesto. Nothing to say about taxation, spending, central bank, etc. Why? Because, as a communist himself, he's a-ok with all of that. The only remaining pieces are the usual genocide that takes place and he's clearly pushing for that, the secreting of Congress (never has a bad word to say about Congressional actions unless they're Donald-centric) in the path of becoming a central politboro, and the abolition of republican government ideals in favor of authoritarian rule. Collectivizes, projects, ad hominem, etc. All straight out of Alinsky's Rules. It's really quite obvious after a while.

    Reality is that MN National Guard saves Minneapolis.

    So I have no problem using state’s Guard to protect citizen’s & business

    I do have a problem with anyone making excuses for destruction & theft

    Are we still talking about looters or the government? Is there any difference these days? I'm sorry but I don't get too spun up about some Nikes being jacked while Congress doles out $2T to cronies. They want us to focus on some stolen Nikes instead of the ongoing looting of the Treasury trust fund.

    Wouldn't these typically qualify as state crimes?

    I believe in DC it is allowed by the constitution.

    In the 50 states if he invokes the insurrection act he can deploy the military.

    This is getting close to insurrection.

    EM.


    In the politicaly correct world we live in, loot is almost universally frowned upon... even when it's for a 'good cause'.

    It's only out of control because it's allowed to be out of control. Police are ordered to stand down and let it happen. (there are no good cops)

    There are videos all over this board showing free individuals taking up the challenge and providing a near perfect solution to the problems of looting and mayhem. In spite of that we have our old pal SS once again calling for a centralized, authoritarian response from Trump and the feds. He claims to want to reduce the power and intrusiveness of the fedgov, yet never seems to miss a chance to demand that they flex some muscle. Tends to render those claims of a desire for reduction of fed power a bit insincere.

    Does Trump know something we don't know?

    I don't see a need to use regular military until antifa and blm starts using AK-47's and C4 to implement their agenda.

    The national guard, along with local LEO's should be able to handle Molotov cocktails, brick throwing, vandalism, and looting.

    Perhaps Trump received intelligence that suggests that more lethal methods are being deployed in the near future.

    SHUT UP, this is constitutional. The president has the executive power to enact the laws of the land if they break down and fall back on him to do so to defend the nation against foreign and domestic. IF THIS WAS LOCAL ONLY it would be deemed more so as unconstitutional, since this is a nationwide coup, he has the authority as a president to do this. The military is now a no brainer, we need the military to stomp down this insurrection before it becomes a full blown war between civilians .

    Yes, Donald Trump knows more. We have chinese communist soldiers in our backyard , operatives that will train insurgencies. Why do you think he is mobilizing federal equipment? HE KNOWS, hes been playing a charade, you are all so naive to the art of war.

    I have heard it said that the President can't issue pardons for state offenses, only for federal offenses.

    I do not know if that is true or false or if it is the precedent but unconstitutional.

    I don't know if this meets the definition of insurrection yet. If the governors instruct the police to stand down and allow damage to private property, Trump is probably within his authority to invoke the insurrection act and deploy the military on US soil. There is precedent for it.
