"You can't f---ing talk to me like that!" Trump said. ...
"Goddamnit," Milley said to others. "There's a room full of lawyers here. Will someone inform him of my legal responsibilities?"
"He's right, Mr. President," Barr said. "The general is right."
The backdrop: Trump wanted to invoke the Insurrection Act and put Milley in charge of a scorched-earth military campaign to suppress protests that had spiraled into riots in several cities.
I've always liked General Milley, but I'm beginning to realize just how much we owe him in terms of damage control over the last few years. After General Mattis left, General Milley may have been the only thing that kept Trump out of trouble...

More anonymous source claims about "Orange Man Bad." Saying it was "confirmed by multiple senior administration officials" just tries to give credence to the fact that it's still just more anonymous sources. Translation - we just made this shit up.

SGT David Schrader - Good for you. Now, according to the leftist definition, you're a full-fledged homophobe, xenophobe, white supremacist, misogynistic, neo-Nazi.
Be proud in your support of America First.

I really don’t care what the left or any other socialist organizations think of me.
I won’t change the way that I feel about my country even though I don’t like the direction that we are going. Hopefully things will change at the mid term elections.
I would still give my life for my country
I strongly agree with the cliche “ I will always stand for the flag and kneel for the cross “

SGT David Schrader - I hear ya. I hate the direction this country is going. Worst of all, it's going downhill willingly. "A replublic, if you can keep it." - B Franklin. Well, it doesn't look like that's going so well.
I'm a die hard patriot. I love my country, but I'm really not liking my government.

PV2 Larry Sellnow - For once we're in perfect agreement. I think we differ on why we're there. Example, the current administration is going to keep dividing us according to our skin color and who we vote for. Demonize half the population and blame them for your lot in life. Instead of the policies that got us here.
Divisiveness among the ruled means they won't focus on the rulers.

Protests have a history of presidents utilizing the Insurrection Act.
With as much injury, death and physical damage as was done across several cities over a prolonged period of time I am surprised the Insurrection Act was not used. Now, I get it if you buy into the narrative of "mostly peaceful" protests. You would be shocked if the military was brought in against these "mostly peaceful" protestors. I would too. However, the 2-5% who were far from peaceful, and in direct violation of our Constitution, no one ever stepped in - and in fact when arrests did happen we had politicians bailing them right back out and most of them, to this day, have not faced charges. If you support this outcome then you support insurrection and rebellion.

Past presidents have used the Insurrection Act to protect civil rights and enforce desegregation....
President Donald Trump has threatened to deploy active duty military troops in states to quell George Floyd protests against police brutality. In doing so, he would invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, which grants the president the sweeping authority to use military force within the US if they deem it necessary to prevent an uprising that threatens a state or civil rights.
