Gotta admit, Trump stepped out of line on this one

[SgtLanquel]

The Secretary of Defense weighs in this morning:

NEW: Defense Sec. Esper: "I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act."

“The option to use active-duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most ... dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now.” https://t.co/GcMBjs73rI

FUN FACT: On this day in 1927, Fred Trump was arrested and jailed for leading a KKK rally in NYC

Runs in the family

I am personally one who has little fear Tiny will cause significant disruption when he loses on Nov 3

Many of my compatriots worry he "has the nuclear codes....he will go nuts between Nov3 and Jan20"

The U.S. military will mutiny before conducting truly overt actions against their fellow citizens on U.S. soil per any bogus orders from POTUS

Donald Trump is the biggest coward to ever hold public office in the USA and will slink away into the physical weeds...possibly even before Jan20 once his financials and ties to foreign investors are fully revealed. He will be so tangled with pending criminal indictments that he will have no ability to do more than SCREECH LOUDLY on twitter until his dying day

The many enablers he has enjoyed from GOP side of WashDC will abandon ship immediately on Nov4 and the resulting vacuum of energy will be astounding to see

DJT will die broke and penniless, though likely not imprisoned - regardless of criminal convictions - because future leadership at national level will not endorse the spectre of an ex-POTUS in true chains

This isn't true and not even possible. I can explain later to you.

You really copy and pasted that? Lol you’re one hell of a philosopher.


Stick to the comedy, clown

You are providing an over abundance of that

Another way to understand the deployment of all those slouchy looking riot police around DC: the military, the state National Guards, the DC police have all found ways to evade Trump's summons. Only Bill Barr's DoJ force answered the call

 

[SgtLanquel]

By "mutiny" I know you realize it will be far more a subtle disregard for any illegal and/or overly outrageous order Trump might bleat out in coming 20 months

I would be honestly shocked if any USM leader actually used words akin to "We refuse to follow the orders of the CiC"

And yes I am aware that the POTUS cannot unilaterally deploy nuclear weapons....thus my personal lack of worry compared to many other anti-trumpers who express fear he might start WWIII

via Dan Lamothe:

An Army official confirms the details in this AP report are accurate. Soldiers were going to leave the D.C. area, and now they are not.

Appears the Commander in Chief still maintains his dream of U.S. military smoking a few uppity smokes within earshot of The White House

And/or he is demonstrating more symptoms of his expanding FTD w a perception that if the military can keep the protestors out of his view from WH then there must be no one protesting his policies

Longtime GOP & conservative writer David Frum notes (re the anonymous troops deployed early yesterday by AG Barr*)

The thing that's really worrying about these anonymous Trump paramilitaries: they look so unprofessional. Exactly the kind of untrained, unfit, unexperienced person who might panic in a crisis and do harm where none is called for

"Trump paramilitaries" - it gives me the creeps just typing that phrase. But that's who is carrying weapons in the streets of Washington right now.

Do the Trump paramilitaries have a line of command? Who will issue the order to fire weapons? And why is the line of command a secret?

---------
*Yes, Attorney General Barr has for the moment taken on the unsanctioned role of military General

 

[busterhyman]

does trump know that if he prosecuted all 4 officers involved from the beginning that this chaos never would've happened

found this very funny...trump is not omnipotent....besides if he did do that...they still would've rioted

To elaborate, via Asha Rangappa (Yale law prof and former FBI counterintelligence agent):

Just to recap:

*AG Barr, who is not a real “general” of any force, is giving orders for the use of force

*His personal “army” does not belong to any federally-authorized force and won’t identify itself

*He’s obscuring legal accountability by moving fed law enforcement to DEA

via ex-federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner:

I fear these are Blackwater types. Erik Prince profiting/grifting off our national emergency. My former office (DC USAO) spent years (three trials) prosecuting Blackwater contractors for murdering innocent Iraqi citizens. This is a disgrace. And a danger to Americans.

There’s a weak, scared, and broken man hiding in the White House. He’s pacifying himself by using men and women in uniform and more layers of fencing to wall himself off from Americans.

This level of paranoia is bad for him and the office of the presidency.

Putin: Get out of your bunker you stupid bitch!
Trump: I’m afraid!

P: You need to get the military behind you!
T: I can’t, they follow this constitution thing!

P: Don’t make me have to chew you out again!
T: General Barr got me Bureau of Prison guards- is that ok?
