While I like Trump sending in the feds.

How is Trump doing all this without invoking the 1803 insurrection act or posse commitatus?

Simply say it's an invasion from another country. He would not be wrong with this reasoning and the rioters don't help themselves by waving the Mexican flag all the time. You literally have foreign nationals fighting American forces.

10 USC §252. Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority​


Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.

this is the law invoked when Eisenhower and JKF used the guard to enforce desegregation. its a exception to the PCA (Which has holes in it big enough to drive a mack truck through.)

I wish I payed more attention, but throughout the last 6 months I have seen various political commentators talk about articles and think pieces pushed in the MSM that were trying to encourage civil disobedience as mass protests and riots against Trump. Generally, with the commentary, it's not probably going to happen as most people are too apathetic and dont' give a shit. Interesting to see if that massaging society and fostering of that has actually started to work.

The riot trash are really working on those photo ops.
Shake a flag to make it look like it's flapping in a breeze, make sure it's lit up and there's smoke...
and idiots on social media are falling for it. (Or they're bots programmed to be anti immigration.)

I am encouraged by how I keep seeing people pointing out that illegals are ILLEGAL and maybe they should fuck off instead of burning the country they claim to love and want to live in.

In 2020 you couldn't say "Gee I think lighting America on fire is bad" without getting swarmed by zombies frothing at the mouth about how you're a RAYCISS and a BIGOT for even thinking such a thing.

Perhaps we are healing.

Unlike Hamas who do love guns even stealing them.

Most of these California leftist baboons vote anti gun VBNW politicians then go cry in r/CAguns that they are not single issue voters and it's actually the right wing and Blumpf who want the 2A nullified.

And also that rights of faggots and brown people are very important to them.

How much political clout would it cost to A-10 brrrrt a crowd of protestors?

probably a lot. problably the would quiet down for a day or two then since they can actually prove that they are getting killed (and not just say and pretend) then they would have carte blanch to go after easy targets like old ladies or used car salesmen and actually kill them.
