Should have been unleashed on those RIOTING marxist MF'ers during the summer of love [2020]! Can you imagine the RIOTING we'll see from coast to coast when Trump wins? That can't be tolerated again!!

 

[millah_22]

So this is basically that the branches of the military can assist police and use deadly force if they need to?

Not so much using a personal army to go mow down opposition.

Which is counter to everything here since 1775

 

[alaskanseminole]

Well, that's a sensationalized title if I've ever seen one. smh

 

[jneffer]

look, we can only support government agents shooting american citizens with impunity if they are police, not if they are military

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

That orange man....... he is going to do some scary shit!!!

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Much ado about nothing.

ok good talk

 

[THE_DEVIL]

There was already a directive in place for this DoDD 5210.56 so its not new or a stand alone.

I agree we need to keep a vigilent eye on this and its applications for our country. Its a scary thing.

Reading the genesis of the article, the point the author is getting at is this will be used as an excuse to go after newly named rightwing domestic terrorists (repubs)

The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

Are you trying to say the right to bear arms is meaningless against tyranny?

Just about every bit of info that is inconvenient for the libs comes from Russia nowadays doesn't it? Talk about stupid.

To be fair, Zero Hedge is known for pushing Russian propaganda and talking points.

He's already shown that he has no interest in the peaceful transfer of power. Thinks it's an outdated concept.

not one word paul says can be taken seriously.

I was wondering when this comment was going to be made. And there it is.

No, I'm not saying that....I'm saying that logic was sound in the 1700s

You act like these guys aren't still living in that century.

Don't look now, but the Russians must have hacked the Washington Headquarters Service and they're posting info on .mil webpages!

Valid point

How come the US military never controlled even half of Afghanistan?

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

No, I'm not saying that....I'm saying that logic was sound in the 1700s, but technology has far outpaced in reality

I know this is a warm blanket for the left but I would ask you to consider 3 things:


The American military has not WON a war when fighting on the opponents territory in 75 years.



The United states military would not bomb its interior in the way it would bomb Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iran, ect.




The armed citizens of America have FAR better firepower than the goat fuc.kers in Afghanistan. ( and that doesn't include the military personnel that would jump sides to protect from domestic enemies)
