The Insurrection Act requires a request by the States' governors.

There are ways to make them request.

We have vays of making you talk.

I was thinking more of in financial/name and shame ways.

[Yankguy1]

Do you actually think Donald Trump has the moral stature to shame anybody?

[bambu.]

Kiid tries to pivot from his racism to his sexism on the day after trump gained a lawn and lost the country.

You need to expand your reading/viewing list.  This was not one bit an unconventional move by a commander in chief.

I can only imagine the outrage of the right if Obama had ordered out troops to disperse peaceful 2nd amendments protestors exercising their constitutionally protected rights.

There would have been calls for armed rebellion on the ditto radio and the right-wing dark web.

Trump declared war on Americans.

It was shameful and a day that will live in infamy.

This cancerous piece of shit in the WH gotta go.

The damn question is, will he?

He can, and should, under the Insurrection Act.

It was a great day, when the leader of 'Christian' America and the 'Christian' West stood outside a Christian church holding the Holy Bible aloft and stating that if the Governors of the States didn't mobilise enough National Guard soldiers onto their streets to rule the said streets he would do so with armed troops!
...to stop all the criminals, arsonists, looters from destroying America.

He needs to be re elected President.

You have a tentative grasp on American ideals and core principles, our democracy and our constitution which mostly keeps us together in times of crisis and doubt.

Is American civics also taught in the 2nd grade in Australian schools?

Not sure.
It's taught on my tv news every night though.
Saw Trump holding the Bible aloft, and listened to his speech.
I clapped ...having watched people with baseball bats etc smashing their way into stores, and rioting in the streets, then reading about deaths in the riots.

Did you see on your Telly how a news crew from down under were attacked live on your morning news by US Park Police.

I did.
Another lot who should've stayed home...or at least should've kept their distance...filed from afar.
ZOOM lens!

Do you actually think Donald Trump has the moral stature to shame anybody?

Well, in regards to law and order, and violent protesters ruling the streets he has.

Why you should stop saying “all lives matter,” explained in 9 different ways

US Army (Airborne) deployed in DC.

I've heard nothing about the Insurrection Act having been declared.

That would make Trump in violation of federal law.

But, of course, the only people who Kid and Ward care about wrt law-breakaing are Dems. And Bambi only cares about African-Americans. Beyond that, "Christian King" Trump can do whatever he wants as far as the three of them care.

And do you now understand why it's Black Lives Matter," and not "all lives matter?"

Trump is angling for the full Qaddafi, bayonet and all. It’s better treatment than he deserves at this point already, but we are a forgiving people.

Bambu, are you going to tell us what is wrong with each of the 9 ways you linked to or are going to try and get right about this?

[LarryBnDC]

Anyone burning down America, looting, and rioting is a lowlife and a loser?

What would Biden do?
Talk.

Action was/is required, the lowlifes and losers refused to listen to talk.

Yeah! Fuck those cops.

Oddly enough, talking would have been great in their opinions, so long as the talking was followed up by action.

The Black community has been oppressed in America for hundreds of years. What is it that having more talk without action is going to accomplish in your opinion, Bambu-Wisdom?

Is talking going to reduce the number of unarmed black men killed by police in disproportionate numbers?!

How many more years of talking do you recommend? 1? 5? 400? Cuz the talking's been going on for a long time!

I think this is triple the payback after they didn't get desired results on Trayvon Obama and Brown.

Flat screens and watches all around. 

But to answer - zero.  The civil war is here.  AntiFa need better weaponry for their pallets.

Fuck Antifa they’re not the threat, the FASCISTS are. Anti Fascist are ok in my book and they’ll grow to be middle class dads with carefully groomed hipster beards or whatever the look will be in ten years.

You guys are seriously trying whip up a Red Scare for the election using guys like this:

LA riots...20 dead, looting, burning everything in sight, the head of white truck driver used as a football...etc...and all the other riots...haven't done one bit of good.
There riots...'all' shown on tv... are violent, angry Black people looting everything in sight [most of the looters are Black, as are the arsonists, rioters].
Anyone who thinks that helps the cause of Black people one iota needs to sit on a chair in a dark room and think a lot deeper.

Black men need to stop committing crimes, then they would likely have much less trouble with the cops.
George Floyd was accused of trying to pass a counterfeit note at a store...a crime.
No note at the store, he would never have encountered those cops.
He could've been innocent, he the one stuck with the bad note when the music stopped...or he could've been doing it deliberately.

Bill Cosby said it true.
No one much in the Black community seems to have taken any notice.

Imagine, if the cops knew that every Black man they would encounter every day would be a friendly gent who buys tickets to the police ball.

Convicted rapist said what about morality?

[LarryBnDC]

Memo to all people;

In the real world, if the Cops tell you to "move on", you move on...or you put up with the consequences.
If you don't move on, and obey the directions of police officers, you'll likely get arrested, hit with a baton, run into by a horse, or gassed until you do move on.
No degree from Harvard needed for this one either.

Regards,
bambu-wisdom.

You realize it's these "consequences", especially for African- Americans, that this entire discussion is about, don't you? You don't need a Harvard degree to know that. Even those of low-level wisdom should know.

What does a cop say to a black man with a Harvard degree?

I dunno but he tells a black Harvard professor he’s under arrest for breaking into his own house with the key to the front door.

"The loon bishop".  What a fucking cretin you are.

Why I am generally against having women serve as bishops - she was hyperemotional yesterday.

What a sexist pig you are.

I have been told.  But totally untrue.  Certain types do grate on me big time.  But the mamas dig Carter8.

The translation is that he’s still getting it on with his right hand plenty these days though his left hand won’t touch him any more out of disgust.
