The Inevitable New The Inevitable Trump Mocking Thread

t's order calling up National Guard troops to patrol the border would have been anathema to old-line right-wingers, since it treads on the toes of posse comitatus prohibitions enacted in various parts of the US code, including principally the Act as passed by the 45th Congress (which effectively ended the practice of US troops enforcing Federal law in the formerly rebellious states) --

From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment
​
As if we needed another ground for impeachment.

In addition to that, any NG troops called up are going to have to give up their civilian lives for a while, which in almost all cases will mean loss of their pay and benefits, disrupting not only their personal lives but also their families and communities. That probably won't help his poll numbers.

Obama sending 1,200 troops to Mexican border

President Barack Obama will send 1,200 National Guard troops to boost security along the U.S.-Mexico border, officials said Tuesday, pre-empting Republican plans to try to force votes on such a deployment.

Trump claimed his plan to put troops on the border is extraordinary. It was routine for Obama.

President Trump floated the idea Tuesday of deploying troops to the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Until we can have a wall and proper security, we are going to be guarding our border with our military,” Trump said at the White House.
He continued: “That’s a big step, we really haven’t done that before, or certainly not very much before.”

That’s not exactly true. Long-standing concerns about the security of the southern border, cited by Trump, led to National Guard troops being deployed by the thousands under Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

Did you? Like you knew one-day market moves the day after tariffs were announced were the result of a spending bill... You are, of course, a genious.

The rest of us, of course, knew you would never admit to your stupid position and that Sterno-Jo would continue to lick your fungus-infested flip-flops with his vomit-laced spittle. But knowing that doesn't really get us anything, except more disgusting mental imagery. So it's not really a win-win.

I think Iz' problem is less not knowing things than writing crap in haste and deciding to defend his crap, despite the fact everyone can smell it a mile away.

Racist stern-jo on the other hand seems to not even understand that it's crap and just goes around with it on his foot thinking he smells like clover.

Dizzy always has someone looking over his shoulder as he is a known time waster at home and away . . . I don't think anyone wants to get that close to lil joe.

Fodder for Sessions?
 
Lowest amount of border crossings in decades and Trump calls it a crisis . . . a political crisis maybe, but not an immigration crisis. He will attempt to spend millions of tax payer dollars to impress his new found friends.
