Trump’s America
Donkey's always had trouble with citations, especially those from newsletters he finds in his inbox. I googled it, and found the quote here: https://www.garbageday.email/p/where-are-the-democrats It's written by Ryan Broderick. Never heard of him? Yeah, me neither, but he apparently was fired from BuzzFeed for plagiarism. It was posted in one of the threads, either this morning or last night. Saw it somewhere.

What Is the Insurrection Act of 1807? Legal experts regard the act as a major exception to the law that generally forbids the use of the military for domestic law enforcement. President Trump threatened on Thursday to invoke the Insurrection Act as protests in Minneapolis intensified after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent killed a woman last week. Mr. Trump made the threat in a social media post, saying he would institute the act “if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E.” Mr. Trump has previously threatened to use the Insurrection Act of 1807, which comprises a group of statutes that give the president broad authority, under some conditions, to use the military for domestic law enforcement. Last June, he also called demonstrators who clashed with National Guard troops in Los Angeles “insurrectionists,” a term that could have provided the rationale for invoking the statutes. What is the Insurrection Act? An early version of the Insurrection Act was first approved by Congress in 1792 to “provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.” It has been amended several times in the centuries since. Generally, the law gives the president the power to send military forces to states to quell widespread public unrest and to support civilian law enforcement. But before invoking it, the president must first call for the “insurgents” to disperse, according to a Congressional Research Service report published in 2006. If stability is not restored, the president may then issue an executive order to deploy troops. The idea for the law was that there could be circumstances in which the local and state authorities were either unable or unwilling to maintain order, said Stephen I. Vladeck, a professor at Georgetown Law School. In those cases, the military would be the backstop. What is its relationship to state governments? The use of the military for civilian law enforcement has been restrained as part of the Constitution’s protections for civil liberties and state sovereignty. State governments maintain the authority to keep order within their borders, a power given to them under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. Generally, that law forbids the use of the military as a domestic police force. But the Insurrection Act authorizes the president to use the military to suppress an insurrection if a state government requests it. And there is some leeway in the president’s discretion, such as whether the commander in chief considers that the unrest is obstructing laws of the United States. What are previous examples of its use? The last time that the act was used was in 1992, when riots in Los Angeles broke out after four white police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King, a Black motorist. Armed forces have also been used to quell civil disturbances after natural disasters, as with widespread looting in St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, after Hurricane Hugo in 1989, according to the Congressional Research Service report. These statutes were used regularly throughout U.S. history, Professor Vladeck told The New York Times in 2020, as protests erupted across the United States after the death of George Floyd. The statutes, he said, were employed in conflicts with Native Americans along the 19th-century frontier; during industrial strife in the late 19th century and the early 20th century; and to enforce federal court orders requiring desegregation during the civil rights movement. Politics also played a role in whether presidents used the act, Professor Vladeck said. “The Insurrection Act hasn’t been invoked since 1992 — largely because domestic use of the military is generally unpopular,” he wrote on Twitter, now X, in 2020. Could the president’s use of the Insurrection Act be opposed? Originally, the statutes set clearer limitations, like a sunset provision for the use of military forces, and a required judicial review, Professor Vladeck said. But after those provisions were repealed, it became “somewhat unclear how an abuse of the statute could be reined in,” he said. “We’ve been lucky, historically, that political considerations have prevented presidents from abusing these authorities,” he said.

They're throwing these undertrained goons into these situations to provoke, so they can invoke the Insurrection Act (see my previous post).

Live Updates: Trump Threatens Insurrection Act to Quash Minneapolis Protests President Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to quell efforts to disrupt his immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. Tensions have risen in the city since a federal agent killed a woman there last week, with the administration doubling down on aggressive tactics that local officials say are meant to spread fear and provoke backlash. Another shooting involving a federal agent on Wednesday evening touched off hours of clashes between protesters and law enforcement officers. A man from Venezuela who was in the country illegally was shot in the leg after resisting arrest, a federal spokeswoman said. The president, who has previously threatened to invoke the 1807 act — which allows the use of the military on U.S. soil to quell an insurrection or invasion — said he would do so “if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrections from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E.” The administration has labeled Renee Good, 37, a mother and poet who was shot in her car last week by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, as a domestic terrorist. Local officials have rejected the federal interpretation of events, with demonstrators calling for the arrest and prosecution of the agent, Jonathan Ross — an unlikely outcome under federal law.

At the risk of sounding uneducated, what does the term "zio shill" mean? Within context, I kinda get what you're saying: lukewarm, corporate Dems. I'm just not familiar with that term is all.

So, Icono posts under the username @Macklemore but he refuses to actually tell the truth about his online persona. Johnny Sack, as you know, was recently posting under the username, @Frank Drebin but decided at some point to switch it out. Anyway, he left the site about the time that people started quoting Charlie Kirk's own words to demonstrate what a shitbag he was in real life. I tell ya, I don't get why some posters change their handles, thinking they're fooling anyone. It's as if they think others can't put two and two together, as if we're just robots powered by their imagination.

Oh, and don't forget the State of Texas just handed over all of our voter registration information to cross-reference against I-don't-know-what to better target the precincts they'll crack down hard on.
