Preaching to the choir.

You might be re-enforcing the limited, 20% of the American Voters to stay in the political faction of the Radical Lefties, but you are NOT making any converts.

Most Americans hate you. Nobody, not even your own, trusts you.

Identity Politics and Anti-White Racism will go into the dust bin, and the Democratic Party will die and be replaced.

Peddling Racial Hatred has failed.

Evil is self-defeating.

Trump is correct when he says, “Smart people don’t like me.” Obviously, stupid people do.
 
Entertainment at its finest...... Their biggest accomplishment that I've heard I’ve heard all day is how really proud they are that sometimes they blocked traffic...🤣

In what way are the Constitutional limits on the Executive branch deficient, allegedly?

I don’t believe that the president can declare an insurrection under these circumstances, or a rebellion. In fact, I think that’s up to Congress. That’s just one example. I don’t think the president should be allowed to order prosecutions of individual people, that should be up to the appointed attorney General.

A huge one in West Palm Beach and another in Palm Beach Gardens, the latter spilled into the street and blocked traffic.

Proud of my community.


I also saw ICE at the place where Hispanic people congregate looking for work, about 20 of them ran, the others lined up next to o the truck to show their papers.

Were any of the attendees under the age of 75? :ROFLMAO: The news has been talking about that all day. Such a high percentage being nursing home age. Maybe that's why most of the protests were only a couple of hours long? Elderly people couldn't be out there much longer than that,...too damn old.

All you've got is petty insults.

Well, we already hate and reject the Democratic Party, and your sneering won't make it better.

Tell us, cocksucker. What EXACTLY does hate feel like? Does it just eat up your guts and make you want to kill? Is it some mind wrenching shit that you just can’t seem to shake? Do you obsess about it 24/7?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Under what "circumstances"?






A U.S. president can send troops to address domestic disturbances under specific legal frameworks, primarily the Insurrection Act of 1807 and related statutes. Here are the key circumstances:
  1. Insurrection or Rebellion: The president can deploy federal troops if a state faces an insurrection, rebellion, or domestic violence that prevents the enforcement of federal or state laws, and the state government requests assistance or is unable to maintain order. This is outlined in 10 U.S.C. § 251-255:
    • State Request: A state governor or legislature may request federal assistance to suppress an insurrection (10 U.S.C. § 251).
    • Federal Authority Without State Request: If an insurrection obstructs federal law enforcement or deprives citizens of constitutional rights, the president can act unilaterally to restore order (10 U.S.C. § 252-253).
  2. Domestic Violence or Unlawful Obstruction: The president may deploy troops if domestic violence or unlawful activities hinder the execution of federal laws or judicial proceedings in a state, particularly if local authorities cannot or will not address the issue (10 U.S.C. § 253).
  3. Protection of Civil Rights: If a disturbance prevents citizens from exercising their constitutional rights (e.g., voting or equal protection under the law) and local authorities fail to protect those rights, the president can intervene to enforce them (10 U.S.C. § 253).
  4. National Emergencies or Martial Law: In extreme cases, a president may declare a national emergency or martial law to deploy troops, though this is rare and controversial. Martial law typically requires a complete breakdown of civil governance, as seen in historical examples like the Civil War.
  5. Posse Comitatus Act Limitations: The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. § 1385) generally prohibits federal troops from engaging in domestic law enforcement without specific legal authorization, such as the Insurrection Act. The president must justify troop deployment under these exceptions to avoid violating this law.
Process and Requirements:
  • The president typically issues a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying troops (10 U.S.C. § 254).
  • Congressional notification is required within 24 hours of deployment, though the Insurrection Act grants the president broad discretion without prior congressional approval.
  • Historical examples include President Eisenhower’s use of federal troops to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas (1957), and President George H.W. Bush’s deployment during the Los Angeles riots (1992), both following state requests or significant federal interest.
Courts have generally upheld the president’s authority under the Insurrection Act.

No U.S. president has directly ordered the prosecution of specific individuals in a way that’s been definitively proven or widely accepted as fact. The U.S. Constitution and legal framework place criminal prosecutions under the purview of the Department of Justice (DOJ), which operates with a degree of independence to avoid political interference. There have been historical instances where presidents or their administrations have been accused of influencing or pressuring the DOJ to target specific individuals, often political opponents, though these cases are typically murky and lack clear evidence of direct orders.
