"Under Title X of the US Code, the President has plenary authority..."

[Servus]

I'm aware. Again, I don't see the connection between asserting the right to deploy the National Guard anytime, anywhere, and for any reason and deportations. The President has some pretty clear guardrails on when, where, and why he can federalize the National Guard laid out in US law between the Constitution and various subsequent laws and amendments. Claiming that those can be ignored "cuz I said so" is not a good precedent to be setting, even if you agree with the reasons behind this particular case.

Unless, of course, the plan is for one-party rule moving forwards?

NG deployments have been due to Antifa and rioters endangering public servants.

NG deployments have been due to Antifa and rioters endangering public savants.

Right, and how does that translate to plenary authority for the President? Especially given that the President himself is the source for both of those claims.

First it was sandwiches, now it's donuts. Where will it end?!?

Now that crisp fall days are upon us, the protesters could drink hot coffee in front of them in a taunting way, but I suppose that would be regarded as terrorism.

Will people never learn? All this rhetoric is exactly what’s fueling the violence. Lord have mercy.

What ???
Did you complain about people comparing Obama to a king

I hate it when people endanger others with disabilities.

It's strange, both contain gluten. I thought all the hate America Liberal Commy Nazi's treated gluten like kryptonite.

Title 10 of the U.S. Code grants the President authority over the National Guard and provides specific powers for their deployment, particularly within the United States during domestic emergencies established by the Constitution.

Yes - but protestors are not the scale of emergency that this bill talks about - or that Trump is pretending they are.

Portland and Chicago do NOT look like cities from WW2 - Trump's betraying his ignorance and capacity to just lie through his teeth.

They're normal modern cities with a few protestors.

He just doesn't like it when people disagree with him being King - and just kicking people out of the country without due process.

Right.

particularly within the United States during domestic emergencies established by the Constitution.

Which the current situation does not meet.

 

[ViaCrucis]

Right.

Which the current situation does not meet.

People don't like the president, and people are exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully assemble in the form of protest. Those two things constitute an emergency. Which is why anyone who exercises their Constitutional rights is a terrorist.

It all depends on what Trump says. He does have plenary authority after all.

Our brave antifa warriors risk their lives every day to bring us epic content we can share and laugh at together.

Trump and MAGA need to realise that in a democracy, people have a right to disagree.
The 'enemy within' as Trump calls them are citizens distressed at the way ICE are turning up and grabbing people off the street - sometimes grabbing mothers and leaving their teenage daughters behind! (As happened in New York - just google it - it is quite distressing viewing.)

That is appalling behaviour. Many of the arrests are appalling and violent.

And it has the stink of demagoguery - of what sociologists call "Othering" - of Trump pretending to the people that there is a massive crisis - and he's the "strong-man" that's going to solve the crisis!

In reality, immigrants are good for America, commit less crime than American born citizens, and are a net benefit for the economy.

It might - at least - stop them talking about the Epstein files....

The only reason why deportation is more prolific now is because the Biden administration let so many extra millions enter illegally.

This wasn't a hobby horse of the Clinton or Obama administration, both of which were strong on border security, illegal immigration and deportation.

This mess is a result of new radical left policies that are the real danger. The big threat Trump poses is putting an end to it.
