Should federal troops be policing the states?

Ok then, please explain yourself unless it's just a case of unjustified paranoia. Law enforcement allows people to exercise their rights, not the opposite. My point was that more law enforcement means more freedom for law abiding citizens. To be more accurate, having the right amount of law enforcement affords law abiding citizens more freedom.

How can you determine the 'right' number of police? It's really simple, anywhere crime is a problem add more police until the problem is remedied, that may mean 1 or 100, whatever it takes. Crime problem solved, guaranteed. How does that harm anyone but those breaking the law? What exactly are you talking about? Be specific please.

How do you imagine the police infringing on your ability to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? If you're idea of happiness is buying an eight ball on the weekend, you might have a problem. In this country if you're really bummed about not being able to find an eight ball on the weekends you can start a political movement and freely speak about it and promote it and do anything legal to achieve your dream of legalizing cocaine for recreational use. What's not to love?
I see that you're one of those whose selective love of law enforcement allows a greater degree of cognitive dissonance..........

The enormous amount of legally contrived protections for cops who violate both the law and the constitutional rights of citizens is beyond anything that the founders would have allowed.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, unless you're a cop. The courts have said many times that cops are allowed to make mistakes in good faith, meaning all they have to say is that thought that said suspect broke a law, even though there is no law broken, and the good faith exception applies.

Cops are allowed to lie to 'suspects', but if a civilian lies to a cop during some investigation, that civilian can be charged for lying to law enforcement.

exigent circumstances

furtive movements, rapidly evolving situations

we live in a world where police can panic at the mere thought of danger to themselves, but civilians must be cool, calm, and collected with a gun in their face.

I don't expect you to acknowledge any of this as anything other than 'cops must be allowed to do their job without fear of losing their lives or livelihoods'.................which is the perfect representation of someone who is terrified of the freedom of others.
 
That, as usual for you, makes no sense. The Dems want the separation of powers to stay. Trump is tearing it down. Even rightys should by now see how he is militarizing the streets. He is in the process of controlling the policing of America. He even started his own police force, ICE, that is loyal to him, not the Constitution. He is working hard to take over the courts, too.
you are lying. you only want separation of powers because a republican is president. ICE is not his own police force. ICE existed long before trump.
 
Tariffs are the responsibility of Congress.

Simply not true.

{ Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934, allowing the President to negotiate trade agreements without separate congressional approval each time.

Later acts, such as the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the Trade Act of 1974,}


And be happy in the knowledge that you of the radical left are who empowered the executive to have control of tariffs.

Trump decided he didn't want to make tariff changes the correct way and used a fake emergency to circumvent Congress.

Your claim is simply untrue. Tariffs have been under the domain of the President since the reign of King Franklin.

There was no emergency. Crime has been decreasing in DC before his fake emergency.

Again, untrue. The DC police falsified reports given to the FBI. I've documented this extensively.

Not even close to that amount.

Very likely higher. The invasion you supported is over - but the colonists are still here.

Wrong...and very weird.

You deny that the United States has the right to have a border and determine who may enter, who is eligible for benefits, who may vote. You demand that any person from any place can simply come in and have equal or greater rights than American citizens.

Yes, you deny that the USA has the right to exist - no nation can exist without borders.

Besides the point. Again, there are correct ways to address things that don't involve a pretend emergency. The closest thing we had to a true border emergency was during Biden's term.

They are not terrorists. They are gangs....as you literally just said.

They are terrorists - paramilitary crime organizations who use terror to obtain and retain political and economic control.

That you seek the destruction of this nation does not change reality.

I'm not doing all the work for you.

Besides the point.

Wrong and still missing the point.

I gave you several. You are pretending they are real emergencies because you simply can't criticize anything Trump does.

Do you try to sound as dumb as possible.

You're not doing anything but bleating MSDNC talking points. You can't support your claims - you just know that Orange Man Bad kept the dream of a Marxist dictatorship from taking hold - and it makes you mad.
 
He may not be saying they should, but he is having them do it.
Nope. He is enforcing federal law.

Organized crime is against federal law.
Interfering with a federal officer in the performance of his duty is against federal law.
Attacking federal installations is against federal law.
Harboring illegal aliens is against federal law.
Trump is authorized to quell domestic violence and/or insurrection and bring law and order to the streets.

Chicago is next...then onto other cities where federal laws are being broken.

Trump should arrest any government employee, whether elected or not, that is harboring illegal aliens or those breaking federal laws.
 
Wrong. That is another lie. He is offering to assist crime riddled Blue run cities. The Mayors and Governors of those states stated they would rather continue leaving their citizens defenseless and protect criminals and criminal aliens.

That, little snowflakes, is a losing argument for the midterms.
Don't let 'em know. We WANT them to lose the midterms.
 
yes, but congress has deferred to the president for decades on tariffs - since 1934 to be exact

why is this all of a sudden an issue shit stain?

Not just deferred - transferred authority through Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act of 1934.

@ZenMode is melting down because in 2021 he, along with the rest of the left were convinced that the Stalinist Dictatorship they dreamed of had arrived. Children were arrested for going to playgrounds, surfers arrested for going in the ocean alone. Millions of business forced to close by the governments. People forcibly fired if they didn't take experimental drugs. Those who were in the wrong political party were arrested in 4 AM raids that were broadcast across the nation on the party propaganda channels. Absolute censorship of any and all dissent on social media.

Joseph Stalin had returned and was dictator of America - it was the peak of the democrats, what they had always struggled to create.

But from that lofty height, it all came crashing down. People pushed back. The censorship was challenged - the Gestapo actions of the FBI were taken to court and the Junta was losing. Lawfare against enemies raged - but was highly unpopular. The jellyfish Republicans started to stand up to the Marxists - and it brought about wins in the midterms.

And then the unthinkable happened, the failed assassination by the democrats in Butler made Trump a martyr and became a springboard to expose the lawfare and dirty tricks Obama and his goons had been engaged in - and Trump won the presidency.

Not only will Zen not get the Marxist dictatorship he wants - the socialists are marginalized and hated. democrats may well NEVER win the presidency again. They are fractured into the Mandani-AOC wing and the Obama corruptocrats.

I understand why he is bitter - he thought he had it all, and it was all taken away. BUT he'll always have North Korea waiting for him.
 
Then why do you obsess over what Donald Trump says?
Calling out that he's a liar isn't obsessing.
Then how is Trump keeping his campaign promises?
Mostly by misusing exec power.
If a crazy person sitting on a park bench in Central Park is making America great again, then we should probably elect him President.
Great! :ROFLMAO:
You have never been able to provide a single example of any official Presidential action that has made Donald Trump somehow less than the best US President Ev-Ah.
I've provided many more than several. If you had an ounce of honesty in you, I wouldn't need to point out most of them.
That's right, you are unable to specify anything Trump has done that somehow harms America.
His tariffs. His handlo, specifically, of China trade agreement where China just leveraged Trump's horrible negotiating skills to agree to allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese spies into our universities every year.

All you have is "Did ya' hear what Trump said? Did ya'? Did ya'? Did ya' hear what Trump said?"
Yes, because he is constantly saying and doing dumb things.
List your top ten "pretend emergencies" that Trump "made up" that are hurting America through misuse of executive power.

1. pretending there's a border emergency_____

2. Pretending there's a financial emergency

3. pretending gang members are terrorists________

4. Pretending there's an energy crisis _________

5. Getting ready to pretend there's a housing crisis
 
Simply not true.

And be happy in the knowledge that you of the radical left are who empowered the executive to have control of tariffs.
The president has emergency powers to impose tariffs. That's why he did his pretend financially emergency as an excuse to do what he did. The fake emergency was the basis for his misusing executive powers. Yes, in certain situations a president should change tariffs for one or a small number of countries. That is not what he did.
Your claim is simply untrue. Tariffs have been under the domain of the President since the reign of King Franklin.
Under certain conditions. Emergency. Again, that is why he declared a financial emergency.
Again, untrue. The DC police falsified reports given to the FBI. I've documented this extensively.
There's no evidence of that.
Very likely higher. The invasion you supported is over - but the colonists are still here.
Is absolutely not higher and is significantly lower.
You deny that the United States has the right to have a border and determine who may enter, who is eligible for benefits, who may vote. You demand that any person from any place can simply come in and have equal or greater rights than American citizens.
What a dumb strawman argument. I want a secure border as much as anyone. That is a completely separate topic from Trump's fake emergencies.
Yes, you deny that the USA has the right to exist - no nation can exist without borders.
Again, strawman argument. Has nothing to do with a discussion about Trump's fake emergencies.
They are terrorists - paramilitary crime organizations who use terror to obtain and retain political and economic control.
They are not terrorists. We all know what a terrorist is. That includes you. Why are you letting Trump convince you of stupid shit?
That you seek the destruction of this nation does not change reality.
Do you think before you type?
You're not doing anything but bleating MSDNC talking points. You can't support your claims - you just know that Orange Man Bad kept the dream of a Marxist dictatorship from taking hold - and it makes you mad.
Sure, Jan.
 
That, as usual for you, makes no sense.
What? Congress passes laws and Trump enforces them? What makes no sense, Sybil?
The Dems want the separation of powers to stay.
No they don't. They want to discard all powers and reserve to their oligarchy or dictatorship.
Trump is tearing it down.
Democrat is not spelled 'T' 'r' 'u' 'm' 'p'.
Even rightys should by now see how he is militarizing the streets.
Good! It's about time Trump brings law and order to cities!
He is in the process of controlling the policing of America.
Good! It's about time Trump brings law and order to cities!
He even started his own police force, ICE,
Trump did not create ICE, Sybil. CONGRESS did.
that is loyal to him, not the Constitution.
Enforcing the law is in the Constitution, Sybil. DON'T TRY TO HIDE BEHIND THE CONSTITUTION YOU DESPISE!
He is working hard to take over the courts, too.
Good! It's about time to get rid of activist judges that break the law!
