We elected a Criminal President and he has the nerve to think he can take over a city

[IM2]

You don't know what you are talking about... stop with the liberal disinformation and propaganda...

Reread it again and educate yourself for once

Washington DC is not a state. Unlike state National Guards, which are typically under a governor’s control unless federalized, the D.C. National Guard is always under the authority of the President.
The President delegates this control to the Secretary of Defense, who can then delegate to other military officials (like the Secretary of the Army).

The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878.. Washington D.C. is not a state, which gives the President more direct control over its law enforcement and National Guard.

Home Rule Act (Section 740): Allows the President to take control of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department during emergencies. Donald Trump invoked this provision in 2025 to federalize the D.C. police and deploy National Guard troops, despite objections from local leaders.

Insurrection Act: This federal law allows the President to deploy military forces to suppress insurrection or enforce federal authority. It has been used in past crises, including in D.C. during civil rights protests and riots.
Did Trump need Congressional approval?

No. As Commander-in-Chief, and due to the special federal status of D.C., the President does not need Congressional approval to deploy the D.C. National Guard.

I know what Washington isn't and I also know there was no emergency. Therefore, Trump didn't have the right to do what he has done. You can quote all the acts you want, but the conditions on the ground do not justify what's being done. Period.

It is becoming so easy to recognize the posters who are paid to post shit like this. There aren't that many here now as NSAID has been largely shut down. OPs like this come right out of the DNC propaganda machine and must be paid for. IM2, In the next 3.5 years you are most likely going to lose your job as money flowing into the DNC has been reduced to a trickle. You might want to rethink your life and find a career that actually does some good for the world. You should do that before you make your DNC propaganda machine prescribed response of "You are a Racist and a Nazi with a low IQ." But you won't so hit me with the only response the left has for its failures. Come on, you know you want to...

I find it amazing how arrogant you right wingers are. You just can't believe that people oppose your bullshit. Even worse is the fact that you post overt racism and then believe that somebody is getting paid by Democrats because they call it out. You are the one who needs to rethinl. You are the one following a convicted felon. You are the one supporting obvious fascism. The DNC doesn't pay me anything and what you are going to see in the next 3,.5 years is the end of MAGA. So what you need to do is get out of that echo chamber and join reality. Seek help for your psychosis.

I support Trump in this effort, and I hope it sticks. It will be interesting to see how subsequent presidents "manage and run DC."

It will be a great measuring stick.

Yeah, right. Jesus, if MAGAts didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any.

I think you earned an extra dollar for that reply. Why not make it 2? Call me a Nazi now and post some DNC funded YouTube video along with it.

IM2 clueless, take a good look at these comparisons between DC, NY and the whole country. DC is a chithole and needs to be cleaned up.

Good thing you didn't put nasty red states in that.

Yeah but Congress is supine so he can do and say pretty much whatever he likes from what I've seen.

 

[Hollie]

The thing is.............he doesn't care what his legal authority is. His MO is to assume he has the authority to do anything he pleases and then make the courts stop him.

The rhing is, moron. Ztrump had the legal authority to clean up the pig stye you so enjoy wallowing in.

Are you saying he cares whether it's legal? His reaction to court orders doesn't bear out that idea.

 

[Chuz Life]

Yeah, right. Jesus, if MAGAts didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any.

From your article.

Maybe they should have invested it more appropriately in the past.

It's legal
Are you saying you're too stupid to understand that?

Sad but true. Republicans aren't going to stop him. They must be voted out.

Perhaps you think the things listed are not essential to a professional police force. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

No, I'm saying you didn't respond to the query about Chump's respect for legality but answered some other question which my post did not raise.

Trump has every legal right to temporarily put law enforcement on D,C. Streets.

Why are you so supportive of crime that FAGAt leftists want to ignore?

 

[krichton]

It must really suck to be so butt hurt and desperate to make even the smallest point against that guy who lives rent free in your head 24/7.

Why do you hate facts so much?

 

[krichton]

Because the judge blocked all their attempts to call expert witnesses to show the charges were groundless.

Whatever you say

Gee, suddenly right wingers no longer care about states rights after spending decades screaming about it. Do you actually believe in anything, or do you change your opinion at the drop of a hat based on what you're told, you have to care about?

Trump can take over DC temporarily, but he has no legal right to do so. That's his biggest stumbling block and always has been, the law.

Gee. It seems you thought D.C. was a state. Actually, Trump has every right to install law enforcement in D.C. It seems you actually know nothing but insist on show in your know nothing’ness needs to be announced on a public message board.
