Millions nationally is good. but I'm more curious about what the biggest single demonstration is, and how it plays out.  You have to figure it will be in LA, which also has the biggest military presence.  Who will the speakers be and what will they say?  What celebrities will turn out?  What kind of counter protests will the MAGAotts organize?

Should be an entertaining day.

The Posse Comitatus Act: Why the Military Can't Act as Police (And Why it Matters)

For nearly 150 years, a little-known law called the Posse Comitatus Act has kept the U.S. military out of domestic policing. But recent events have exposed dangerous loopholes that could allow presidents to bypass these protections. Here's what you need to know.

What Is the Posse Comitatus Act?

Passed in 1878, the Posse Comitatus Act bans the use of federal troops, the Army, Air Force, and Marines as domestic law enforcement unless Congress or the Constitution explicitly allows it. The law was originally meant to stop the military from interfearing with civil rights after the Civil War.

The purpose is to prevent the U.S. from becoming a military-run state. Soldiers aren't cops. Police answer to local officials.  The military answers to the president. Authoritarian overreach happens if the military is allowed to be police.

The law is just one sentence:

QuoteWhoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Posse Comitatus applies to active-duty military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force) personel.  The Coast Guard (which does law enforcement) and the National Guard.  Unless they're federalized, which Trump illegally did.

The Insurrection Act lets the president send troops to stop rebellions and enforce civil rights laws.  In 2020, the Trump administration exploited two major gaps in the law:

The D.C. National Guard Loophole, unlike other states, the D.C. Guard always reports to the president.  In 2020, Trump deployed them against protesters without invoking the Insurrection Act.

The "Title 32" Trick,  Normally, National Guard troops answer to governors. Under Title 32 status, they're federally funded, but still under state control.  Trump got 11 governors to send 'their' Guards to D.C. creating a federalized force without oversight.

The military's job is to defend the country.  Not police its citizens. Without Posse Comitatus, the King's men will police.

Bringing in the Marines is a clear violation, and Peter Brian Hegseth should get two years in a federal basket weaving camp for his violation.  If Trump gets by with violating Posse Comitatus he will be emboldened, and Trump will use his military again, and again, and again.  Until the people whom Trump has fucked over can't be counted because there are so many of them.

Or am I the only one who understands this about Trump?  Trump has the Hitler hate.


To stop Trump put his Lackeys in Prison.  Give them consequences.  Then Trump will have no Lackeys.  But without consequences, his madness will only grow, and stupidity will reproduce itself.

How many millions?  Where will the largest crowd be?  Where will the "Proud Boys" show up to bust heads and start some riots? Will we get 4 Dead in O-Hi-O?
