My fellow patriots, I have been wanting to get the opinions of some like minded people in regards to Trump's usage of the Insurrection Act. In my opinion, I think he is waiting to be reelected before using it. I think he hasn't used it because he knows that the Dems and Libtards will flip it around and say he was over reaching in his power. As much as I would love to see him use it and shut all the bullshit down in Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, I think it would be devastating to his campaign.

What are your opinions on it?

A great article by Kurt Schlichter today with much more cogent reasons PJDT would need to be cautious about such a commitment.

Damn. I have never been to Chicago but damn well never want to go. I have been reading "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" by Thomas Sowell and it's really opening up my eyes to the history of the culture of the ghettos. I grew up in a pretty shitty area myself were section 8 thrived and is still thriving today so I am no stranger to ghetto culture but it's really interesting to learn the history about it.

In June Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he did not support invoking the Insurrection Act and using active-duty military forces to deal with the unrest in U.S. cities. That is not a blanket refusal by 'the active military' to follow his orders.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Really? I actually didn't know that. I haven't done much research into the subject and have heard Trump mention it a few times in his press briefings. That's why I was asking. How can the military even tell him no? That's fucking nuts, he is the controller of the military, he is their damn boss. Wow that's nuts.
