agree fully! arrest and prosecute the guilty majors and governors for aiding and abetting an insurrection, murder, arson, burglary, and assaults on lawful citizens
Guantanamo has vacancies, let’s fill them up!
Less talk, more action.
“President Trump in New Hampshire: I Might Invoke the Insurrection Act to Put Down These Leftist Thugs”
he won’t actually do that until after he’s re-elected, because the longer this goes on, the more new voters are attracted to Trump and/or repelled by the Democrats ...
I was looking at prior invocations of the act and in all cases, it was because the city/state were overwhelmed, not because they refused to do anything. In Rodney King riots, CA requested help.
RE: With the help of the National Guard and keeping outsiders out of Kenosha the situation has been squashed down.
The Morlocks are moving to Washington DC next. I just want to know how these vampires get the money to fly from one state to the other so quickly.
One wonders what the democrats have to do to be in rebellion.
And in all cases, the governor requested help from the President.
These riots are indeed organized, attacking government buildings to destabilize, terrorizing neighborhoods/cities, and profoundly illegal - well beyond what police can handle. It’s an insurrection. The President absolutely is empowered (correct me) to call out the Militia to suppress insurrection.

“Just do it. Right after the election.”
Yes.
Note that this gives Progressives an existential reason to win, election or civil war, by any means possible.
He never said he was going to use the Insurrection Act.
Seesh our guys are as bad as Leftists with TDS.
If the governor is in on it, s/he is not going to ask for help - all the more reason to declare insurrection.
“With the help of the National Guard and keeping outsiders out of Kenosha the situation has been squashed down.”
the guard did this when they were stationed near where i live when we had the 1,000 year flood in Colorado a few years ago to help protect the flooded out areas ...
i was helping a friend pump out and restore her flooded fully-finished basement in one of the flood zones, and had to stop at a guard checkpoint and prove who i was, why i was going into the neighborhood, and who i was helping each time i entered the neighborhood ...
The U.S. government has no obligation -- or even the authority -- to enforce state laws.
Read the Insurrection Act in detail. It's very clear that it requires the approval of a governor or state legislature before Federal troops can be used.
If a bunch of Democratic governors and mayors want to dump sh!t all over themselves and their constituents, then it's not President Trump's problem.
“Unless they involve Federal property”
Well there you are. We’re past that point, no?
Your reasoning presumes the Governor isn’t functionally part of the insurrection.
I trust Trump’s instincts.
Better to let the tyranny addicts hit bottom and decide on their own to recover.
Sending in troops before they ask is like trying to get an alcoholic to quit by taking away their bottle in mid-bender.
They’ll only crave it more.
They have to make the conscious decision that they have had enough themselves.
Only then can recovery start.
The insurrection act does not require a governor to invite federal assistance. The governor will not request such when they are literally assisting the insurrection.
