Trump federalized CA NG….which means the Insurrection Act has been declared

[Anonymous]

He's using 10 U.S.C. 12406, not the Insurrection Act.

Yep. I’ve lived in a dictatorship that began with a declaration of martial law, and what’s going on here is feeling eerily familiar. The pretext to seize power is often “lawlessness” or some kind of fabricated “national emergency.”

A dictatorship won't fly here. There's just no culture of cowed obedience, among the civil service or the general public. The country is too big, the courts too powerful, and the people too free, for a dictatorship to work.

The insurrection act has been used 30 times in US history. What makes you think this president won’t invoke it?

You can get your knickers in a twist over the tactics but no one has ever stopped the flow of incoming migrants at the border like Trump 47. In weeks he created a virtual wall on the southern border.

Is that the ONLY thing that matters to you? Nothing else? Most of us are not hyperfocused on one statistic and can focus on other important things like: due process, the Constitution, democracy, freedom, common sense...

From chatGPT:
§ 12406 is about the President taking control of National Guard forces in emergencies.

The Insurrection Act is about deploying any military force domestically, often with broader and more politically sensitive implications.

Now Hegseth is threatening to deploy US marines if he has to. I bet he has a hard on at the prospect.

If I ever hear a MAGA/GOP say they are patriots I will throw a fit. They are absolute traitors.

Hypocrite Kristi Noem when she was governor stating that if President Biden were to federalize her state's national guard and take away her authority as governor to control her state's NG, "we would have a war on our hands."

I predicted when he was elected that he would fabricate a reason to declare a national emergency and so he could declare martial law and postpone the 2026 midterms is next when he declares himself President/Emperor for life.

God help us. The supreme court gives him everything he wants. Revolution is the only way to save us

Oh please. He may start a war with LA but he won't win and he won't cancel the midterms.

she is a hypocrite. And dumb and ignorant. She was pathetic answering senators questions.

I hate Trump with every fiber of my body, but this is not the Insurrection Act, nor do I believe it is the precursor to martial law in the US. It is a very poor decision though, and one that he won’t get away with for long.
