Trump gibt Executive Order aus und erhöht den amerikanischen Polizeistaat

***From Rolling Stone’s Charisma Madarang:***

During Donald Trump‘s final weeks of his 2024 re-election campaign, he fantasized about “one really violent day” of policing as an answer to eradicating crime in America. Speaking to supporters gathered at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, Pennsylvania, in late September, Trump mused, “One rough hour — and I mean real rough — the word will get out and it will end immediately, you know?”

On Monday, as he prepared to celebrate his 100th day back in the White House, President Trump signed an executive order ramping up his efforts to embolden law enforcement across the country and shield them from accountability. The president instructed his administration to “unleash high-impact local police forces; protect and defend law enforcement officers wrongly accused and abused by State or local officials; and surge resources to officers in need.”

You know when Obama used executive orders, he was called undemocratic, un-American, tyrannical by the GOP.

Obama issued 272 executive orders in 8 years.

Trump issued 220, in his first 4 years.

Trump has issued 142 more since being re-elected.

The GOP is astoundingly hypocritical, and Trump is being more tyrannical than Obama ever even approached.

He is going to get people killed.

Why does every headline that I read now feel like something I read during a fever dream after drinking a half a bottle of NyQuil?

Next, Trump is going to launch „The Purge“ in Florida

Martial Law on Day 180 and the complete suspension of the United States Constitution. Isn’t this the tyranny all the 2A folks have been waiting for?

Tea party in 2005 = Obama will turn the country into police state we need to arm up!!

Guess it’s time to start forming well armed militias?

The first I’m hearing this is from Rolling Stone??? Why is this not all over the news?

Ah – so there is where all those law offices that gave up free services will be of use.

**Posse Comitatus is under threat and this is absolutely paving the way for invoking the Insurrection Act**

**What are the main statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?**

*There are many statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, but the most important one is the Insurrection Act. Under this law, in response to a state government’s request, the president may deploy the military to suppress an insurrection in that state. In addition, the Insurrection Act allows the president — with or without the state government’s consent — to use the military to enforce federal law or suppress a rebellion against federal authority in a state, or to protect a group of people’s civil rights when the state government is unable or unwilling to do so.*

**What are the constitutional exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?**

*There are no constitutional exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act. The law allows only for express exceptions, and no part of the Constitution expressly empowers the president to use the military to execute the law. This conclusion is consistent with the law’s legislative history, which suggests that its drafters chose to include the language about constitutional exceptions as part of a face-saving compromise, not because they believed any existed.*

*This has not stopped the Department of Defense from claiming that constitutional exceptions to the law exist. The Department has long claimed that the Constitution implicitly gives military commanders “emergency authority” to unilaterally use federal troops “to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” when doing so is “necessary” and prior authorization by the president is impossible. In the past, the department also claimed an inherent constitutional power to use the military to protect federal property and functions when local governments could not or would not do so. The validity of these claimed authorities has never been tested in court.*

**What are the weak points in the Posse Comitatus Act?**

*Events in 2020 and 2021 have highlighted two loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act. The first involves the District of Columbia National Guard. Unlike all other state and territorial National Guards, the DC Guard is always under presidential control. Despite this, the Department of Justice has for years asserted that the DC Guard can operate in a non-federal, “militia” status, in which it is not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act. By this interpretation, presidents can use the DC Guard for law enforcement whenever they choose.*

*Another weakness in the Posse Comitatus Act arises from the law that allows the National Guard to operate in “Title 32 status.” In Title 32 status, a middle ground between purely state operations and federalization, Guard personnel are paid with federal funds and may perform missions requested by the president, but they remain under state command and control. That means they are not subject to the Posse Comitatus Act, even though they are serving federal interests.*

**How have these loopholes in the Posse Comitatus Act been exploited?**

*In the summer of 2020, President Trump deployed the DC National Guard into Washington to police mostly peaceful protests against law enforcement brutality and racism. Simultaneously, over the objections of DC’s mayor, the administration asked state governors to deploy their own Guard personnel into Washington in Title 32 status, and 11 governors did so. Although these out-of-state forces were nominally under their governors’ control, it was later revealed that they were reporting up through the DC Guard’s chain of command for “coordination” purposes. That meant they were ultimately taking orders from the president. In this way, the Trump administration brought a large, federally controlled military force into Washington and used it for civilian law enforcement, all while skipping over the procedures in the Insurrection Act and evading the political costs of invoking it. That is exactly what the Posse Comitatus Act is meant to prevent.*

*Moreover, the deployment of non-federalized, out-of-state Guard forces into a jurisdiction without its consent represents another threat to the Posse Comitatus Act. When operating in Title 32 status, Guard forces are exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act because they are under state command and control. A key part of that control is the governor’s right to decline a particular federal mission. That right is meaningless if the president can simply approach a different governor and ask her to deploy her state’s Guard into the unwilling governor’s state. In this scenario, the cooperating governor becomes a fig leaf for the president to use the military as a police force anywhere in the country, free from the constraints of the Posse Comitatus Act.*

Hey, pretty sure I just saw Kingpin do this one in Born Again

Well, elect a rapist, expect to get fucked.

This is exactly what the communities they serve wanted and needed, a more militaristic police with legal protection for abuse and no accountability from top to bottom. I mean, what could possibly go wrong!?

*Horrifying montage of police brutality*

I’m sure everyone had it coming, surely it was never the officers involved abusing power or authority.

’sarcastic‘

Gotta put down the riots when the states run out of food because of his dumbass economic policies.

The fact that police are being given anything associated with the military is a problem because they have to very different purposes. Cops jobs are to protect and serve people in a community. Their main jobs should be de-escalation.

Military is a force whose purpose is furthering and protecting the interest of the United States against ** foreign** countries. There main jobs are not dealing with Americans. It’s to kill.

This is why the police force has become lethal. Somewhere they started conflating their jobs with solders…….they are not solders. They are not warfighters. They are not warriors…. And that’s ok! It doesn’t make them less honorable.

Preparing for the empty shelves in the coming months?

This is why the second amendment exists

Defunding education and science but funding prisons and lawsuits for asshole police officers is certainly a choice for the golden age

„The signed order also encourages the prosecution of state and local officials for “unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.” And it calls on the Justice Department to prosecute state and local officials who promote “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives that supposedly “restrict law enforcement activity or endanger citizens” — on the grounds that diversity-related measures constitute discrimination or civil-rights violations.“

MAGA – „WHat Do yOu mEAn he’S a fAsCist?“

And here comes the pardon of Derek Chauvin.

This asshole is just watching Daredevil and doing whatever Kingpin does.

Why are executive orders a thing?
