That 50 state experiment showed the failure of Democratic leadership and the success of GOP leadership.
This is a completely different situation. I trust Trump's instincts and am sure he considered counsel from competent advisors before making his decision. We don't know how far he'll push it, but this could be a complete success or go ass up.
I'm hoping that a show of force will dissuade rioters with no shots fired. I hope US troops are deployed to back up local cops for intimidation purposes and exercise restraint.
I've been behind enemy lines watching CNN for the past couple hours, and they are predicting another Kent State.
Thoughts? I'm not looking for unqualified support for Trump's decision, as this decision will set a precedent for future Presidents.
Thanks in advance.
Trump is giving the states and cities one last chance to do the right thing. If they stand down again, real military is ready to roll. Today.
The Mayors and Governors have bungled this from Day 1. But he still gave them an out before the Military arrives. He told them suppress it with overwhelming force or he would.
Plus Military is only heading to especially hard it areas where things have crossed the line from incompetence into blatant stupidity places like Minneapolis for instance.
you want an answer? Enough is Enough. We've let these guys [governors] play their games for what? 72 hours now. But now we know there is NO negotiating with these idiots. So its time take matters into our own hands.
With the US military? That crosses a huge line for me. That opens a door we might not be able to close.
Another Kent State? Nope. That was a peaceful protest, the Nat Guard got spooked by what they thought was gunfire. I was about 12 when it happened, other Pedes may remember far more about it than me.
Invoking the Insurrection Act is the right way to go here, to root out the violent protesters. What is happening now took a lot of planning and money, people are crossing state lines and this may also be supported by international actors and funds. The goal is to overwhelm and destabilize the country. Someone will know the law much better than me, what tools/powers invoking this allows. This weekend reminded me of Weather Underground and the Chicago Seven.
What do they call people burning buildings, looting, assaulting, killing? This would be using the military to stop violent attackers. What right do people have to burn, loot, kill?
There will be more blood shed, yes. Perhaps a good bit more, it is the Enemy's call here, not ours to control.
The simple reality of America is that many States and/or cities do not have legitimate governments. What I mean is they are not capable or willing to perform their sworn duties as government officials must do. In many cases they are frauds in that they took the office, swearing to perform certain duties, knowing they would not so perform said duties YET cashing the paycheck and exercising the authorities granted them. Frauds.
And many of those frauds did conspire to BE the frauds they are, using organizations and planning and taking monies to attain the positions. Conspiracy huh, innit, huh. Sorry, my bad.
As we see illustrated over and over the last few years those local/state governments are failing their duties, their infrastructures do not work or exist, they are kin debt, they have high crime rates and no expectation or real hope of getting better. They fail to exercise the Rule of Law...and all the while most of them misuse/hide/lose monies.
The People are suffering in those places, the whole country suffers because of them.
So POTUS has the ability to invoke the act, and in this case it will be Rightfully done.
People are demanding it be done to restore sanity.
Hell, the Democrats won't even go to DC and do their damn Congressional jobs, yet they cash the checks.
Frauds, they fail the People and so the Military must go in, We the People must restore Law.
Yeah there will be more blood, and later arrests, and later still even more arrests of larger stature.
All the blood is on the hands of the idiot left, the Enemy. All of it even tho many idiot leftists are simple Tools being used. Still they choose to BE used don't they, so they may well bleed.
The thing is, Honest Citizens will bleed too, because the Enemy is mindless.

My blue governor doing little while businesses are tourched. Let’s roll.
I don't like this at all. Bringing in the military on our own citizenry? I could see a leftist trying that shit on a 2A protest.
This, omegaman. We can justify any action Trump takes as Godly in the present, but we ignore the long game when a future President invokes precedent.
This, for me, is a political war I'm fighting for my grand son.
Another Kent State - force used against violent rioters. At Kent State, they were attacking the people who opened fire.
They are fire bombing the city around me and brutalizing the innocent. If the governor who released dangerous prisoners onto the streets ahead of the uprising won’t call the national guard to protect us, then we need the military to step in.
Bad idea let the states fail. They want the military which is trained for war. That way if anything bad happens they can blame trump. Police Have to be on the front line national guard behind unless it gets outta hand.
