  1. There are a lot of exceptions to the posse comitatus act. Also, the actual active duty numbers are likely members of specialized unita like hazmat etc. who often get called in and put on standby in situations like this.

  2. He (or more accurately his campaign) is afraid. His agreement with Biden was the equivalent of two old men agreeing on a golf handicap. There's no place for that in a real Presidential debate. If he refuses, she'll still debate him. Undecided voters will simply wonder why one candidate needed a handicap.

  3. Take that up with the state/local governments involved. Those riots are primarily their responsibility. The military is meant to only get involved in such situations to defend federal property unless requested to do more. Had such requests been made, the assistance would have come.

  4. Research his history concerning transgender.

  5. Then leave.

  6. Grow up and quit defending the big crybaby... Political figure or not, the accusations and cases against him are more than strong enough to warrant prosecution. He's been given enough free passes over the course of his business and political careers. It's time for him to be held accountable for his actions just like anyone else would be.

  7. Those riots were primarily the responsibility of local/state governments first. Had those governments requested such assisstance they would have gotten it.

  8. Has many exceptions built into it. This is legal.

  9. Lincoln won in a landslide and had to be snuck into DC under heavy guard...

  10. Had the local/state governments requested them, they likely would have.

  11. Because Israel's original plan to drive the Gaza people into Egypt is clearly not going to succeed and Israel's allies didn't sign on for wholesale genocide and the additional conflicts it will instigate.

  12. Quite the opposite.

  13. A lot if he allows Medicare and Medicaid to pay for the quackery stuff he sells...

  14. Not the message that will be sent to undecided voters if he refuses. Presidential debates have traditionally used hot mics. The message will be that like in golf, he needed a handicap. Only he's supposed to be a pro here.

  15. The man has absolutely no understanding of economics beyond how to exploit loopholes and get out of paying debts. If you're expecting things to improve if he gets elected, you're going to be very disappointed. Our current problems aren't fixable with the sort of short term fixes he'll push for. In fact, using such fixes will ultimately lead to even worse conditions (though he won't care because he'll be out of office and laughing his a** off at all the rubes who voted for him.)

  18. Waiting on the local/state governments to request their assistance.

  19. Nah, she just wants him to play under major league rules rather than little league. Presidential debates have traditionally used hot mics and should continue to do so. You can learn a lot about a candidate by how they behave when their opponent is speaking. That's what Trump's campaign is afraid of.

  20. They are sworn in to uphold the Constitution. Biden is the duly elected President and thus their job is to ensure that the transfer of power is completed.

  21. No one. Trump tried to but failed.

  22. Presidential debates have traditionally used hot mics. The original agreement was the equivalent of two old men agreeing to a golf handicap. That has no place in Presidential debates. If Trump refuses, she'll debate him still. He'll just lose a lot of respect from undecided voters for clinging to his handicap in a pro game.

  23. Trump caused this to happen when he intentionally destabilized NATO and sabotaged our European rapid response capabilities in Germany. Putin would never have considered invading if he thought the west could respond quickly to it.

  24.  @dingus6317  Russia's prior actions clearly showed they'd be interested in Ukraine and Trump still decided to sabotage NATO and our rapid response hub in Germany to open the door. He's even praised Putin for it since. Had he not pulled our pants down, Putin doesn't invade and we don't have to spend billions honoring our agreement to defend them. It's that simple.

  25. Too brown for Musk's liking.

  26. Sanctuary cities aren't blocking deportation efforts. They're simply refusing to spend their own assets to assist with them. Which is their right. Immigration is federal jurisdiction, not local. Cities are not required to assist.

  27. And a snake oil salesman

  28.  @paulcrumley9756  Over the years Congress has enacted legislation granting the President the power to use active military in emergency situations.

  29. Trump isn't requiring background checks on many.

  30. She'll debate him just fine either way. It's simply a matter of whether or not he clings to his handicap or decides to go pro and play by traditional Presidential debate rules.

  31. Then why is he so terrified of a hot mic? Presidential debates have traditionally used them. If he's all that and a bag of chips, I'm sure being constantly mic-ed would be of great benefit to him...

  32. As far as suppressing an uprising, the 1992 LA riots. Otherwise, someone already mentioned Katrina in 2006.
    1
  33. They were used in the 1992 LA Riots...The founding fathers didn't seem to mind. It wasn't until 1878 that the posse comitatus act was passed and it has many exceptions built into it which allow such usage.

  34. Lincoln

  35. Yeah.

  36. Alright fascist...

  37. Why? They're completely pointless at this point. The candidates have long since been decided.

  38. Unfortunately, yes. The majority of Trump supporters aren't insane. However, there is a large personality cult formed around him who are quite delusional and can't be taken lightly.

  39. Nope.

  40. Has many exceptions built into it.

  41. There's absolutely nothing wrong with how he's being treated. The gag order merely prevents him from using social media etc. to intimidate/slander witnesses jurors, or court personnel. None of those are protected speech.

  42. She'll talk at the debates. Where it matters. Remember, Trump wouldn't shut up last time and talked himself right into a loss. Like he's doing with this nonsense. She'll debate him either way. A refusal to change back to traditional Presidential debate rules by him will simply tell undecided voters that he needed a handicap just like he does in golf...only he's supposed to be a pro here.
    1
  43. He blew his credibility on that with that pathetic fake laptop bs. Besides, most of Trump's cronies and lawyers will likely be too busy defending themselves to bother going after Biden anymore.

  44. They are already following federal law. Immigration is federal jurisdiction not local. No city is required to assist in the process.

  45. @freddyw3675  Have fun storming the castle kid.

  46. Presidential debates have traditionally used hot mics. If Mr. Trump isn't mentally fit enough to debate with such, then he isn't fit to be President...that will be the viewpoint of undecided voters if he refuses. Harris will debate him either way, but a refusal to change will mean that all will know he needed a handicap just like in golf. Only he's supposed to be a pro here.

  47.  @michellegordon4211  Bobu's full of s**t. He's just after his 15 minutes of fame.

  48.  @joanjohnson2026  He controls regular duty as well. The posse comitatus act of 1878 gave Congress the power to authorize the use of such and, over time, Congress has enacted legislation granting the President power to do so in emergencies, insurectuions, etc. Edit: That said, they are obligated to refuse unlawful orders so he's limited in what he can have them do.

  49. Well, Trump did intentionally open the door to invasion for Putin and the US had an agreement to defend Ukraine if Russia ever invaded them...We're bound to help them. Especially to make up for one of our Presidents betraying them.

  50. If Trump isn't mentally fit enough for his campaign to trust him not to make a fool of himself with a hot mic, he isn't mentally fit enough to be President.
