“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
The Posse Comitatus Act was passed after the Civil War for a reason
Any attempt to send federal troops into civilian law enforcement is a speed run toward a police state
@flexghost This is *exactly* what Alex Jones has been shouting would happen from the rooftops for about 25 years. Martial law, police state, posse comitatus. This is like, his whole shtick. Even down to declaring bogus national 'emergencies' to justify it. He warned us.
Except of course, it's his side doing it.

I'm not sure having Nazi Barbie and her pet drunk advise the convicted felon is actually going to convince career military officers to follow illegal orders.
"The Posse Comitatus Act was passed after the Civil War for a reason

So
Exactly and with specificity;
Who is going to enforce that?
Trump himself? hahaha
The Federal judiciary? Terrified, emasculated and utterly neutered
Federal law enforcement at any level? Compromised, Quislings, traitors all
Take a deep breath and admit it: it's game over for democracy in the United States of America
This is today, and that post of your will have new readers today

@flexghost It's grimly comical.
We used to also laugh at the fact that the conspiracy theorists painted their enemies as both criminal masterminds and incompetent buffoons simultaneously. "How could both be true at once?", we chuckled to ourselves, smugly.
And yet, here we are.
Trump thinks the Posse Comitatus Act is something you do in the bedroom.
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state. The other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - William Adama
in most states the cops aren't even defined as to serve "the people" but to uphold public order or to protect private property.
this distinction is not only theoretical.
> There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
A great memorable quote from the Battlestar Galactica, Season 1 show on Quotes.net
@flexghost It was more powerful to me when I saw it around when it originally aired. Now I see the "serve and protect" bit in there, and am reminded that even it contains copaganda.
The police are under no duty to serve or protect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAfUI_hETy0
I literally believe that he is the man of lawlessness (no, not in the Biblical sense of the word, although …).
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, militarized #police used in Ferguson and at Columbia, ICE metastasized by Obama from a modest number of cop “multipliers” under Dubya and then bolstered by Peter Thiel’s Palantir.
There is no running toward a police state when it was already here.
state National Guards are under governor control unless federalized
That’s the point
Using federal troops or federalized Guard for policing without Congressional or constitutional authority is still barred by the Posse Comitatus Act.
@flexghost Bondi and Hegseth won't have to look any further back than the September 2024 directive of the Biden Pentagon, DoD 5240.01
the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury. It also
includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated.
Claiming Biden "did it first" is laughable. DoD 5240.01 only allows intel support “when lives are in danger” and with strict approval.
It even warns “All support... where a confrontation... is reasonably anticipated” must go through the Secretary of Defense
Just worry about your puce text.
