Sounds like your average Columbia student.

To you, perhaps. To the other leftists and bots, they'll just be reflexively anti-Trump like they are on every other 80/20 issue. They're defending violent criminals, protesting heavier police in DC, and, until recently, were defending Iran of all places. They can't help themselves.

Trumptards aren't the ones who are pushing illegals for slave labor or illegals to clean your dishes. In fact, given how loudly Democrats have howled over not counting illegals in the census, it's pretty clear that the Democrats, once again, really do not want their slaves freed.

Nah, Caddyshack is still awesome.

Trump could sign a peace treaty with Russia tomorrow and /.ers and other American leftists would still bitch about it. "Ooh, of course Agent Krasnov would broker a peace deal with Putin!!

That's the kind of bar you'd set for a mock trial in sixth grade. It's not hard to convict someone of taking out a loan and paying it back with interest.

You're the one who said killing OP wouldn't be murder because the dead don't have rights.

Sorry, I realized I went off on a tangent and didn't answer your question. DOD operates under Title 10 authority which is restrained by Posse Comitatus. Generally speaking, DOD can get around it through Defense Support to Civil Authority (DSCA), e.g. disaster relief, or through a request by another federal agency, or, as you pointed out, the Insurrection Act. National Guard operates from Title 32 which does not fall under Posse Comitatus.

Sort of. Trump exercised lawful authority to take over the DC Police and at the same time deployed the National Guard, not the military. I get that sounds like a distinction without a difference, but authority under federal law matters here. I haven't seen the authority under which the NG is operating, but there are a few. Title 32 is the most commonly used and requires a state governor's consent. Since DC doesn't have one, it falls to POTUS. Regardless, operations under Title 32 do not fall under Posse Comitatus. Section 49 of the DC Code also authorizes the use of the NG but it's much more vague and I haven't have the time or inclination to do a deep dive into it.

Nonsense. You're just not used to a Republican actually exercising the power either granted by law/Constitution or delegated/abrogated by Congress.

I suppose he could go full Jackson on the courts, but he hasn't. He's learned how to conduct lawfare and people are freaking out that their tactics are being used against them.

That only works if you killed him when he was dead. You probably should've spent a bit more than five seconds on that.

The 20 year retirement thing has largely vanished in favor of the Blended Retirement System. It's not for everyone, but anyone who wants in actual cyber operations should at least take a look.

It's only unfair if we're blaming the kids and not the guy who explicitly only hired kids and not senior people to mentor them and give top cover.

"Kids" is right. This is a predictable result when you hire kids instead of experienced naval architects because racism or something.

I like Mode Designs keyboards. I have the SixtyFive and Sonnet boards specifically because they're wired. They're more expensive than others, but they do come from the U.S. and I like the sound/build quality.
