    There may not be Federal elections here in Nov. 2020. Especially under our military authority, that is at war in The Middle East and elsewhere. We have allowed the country to be invaded by illegal immigration which could be the fifth column in more ways than one.

    Bull Crap!! It's cool and fun to talk about the dems and repbs but this country has been through far worse than this which is evident from reading our history. We will have elections on time.

    Yep. We'll have 'em, won't be very honest though.

    No voter ID? Than the tally don't mean a thing.

    I doubt there's been an "honest" election since; well maybe never. I don't know what to do about that.

    You may be right but The Marines might be guarding the polling stations and/or having an election like in 2000 where nobody accepts it and going to
    Supreme Court to decide who was elected or even how they got elected and if it was legal.

    Luckily the majority of them haven't figured out that no matter how many illegals they get to vote in an already democrat state that it won't change the outcome of the election.

    The ones that do know complain that Trump wouldn't be president because he didn't win the popular vote but then they fail to remember that Bill Clinton wouldn't have won either of his elections either because he didn't win the popular vote in either election. They better be careful what they wish for when it comes to the electoral college.

    The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. ? 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act ? in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 ? is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1956 and 1981.
    The act specifically applies only to the United States Army and, as amended in 1956, the United States Air Force. Although the act does not explicitly mention the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the act force with respect to those services as well. The act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard, which operates under the Department of Homeland Security, is not covered by the Posse Comitatus Act either, primarily because although the Coast Guard is an armed service, it also has both a maritime law enforcement mission and a federal regulatory agency mission.
    The title of the act comes from the legal concept of posse comitatus, the authority under which a county sheriff, or other law officer, conscripts any able-bodied person to assist in keeping the peace.

    There is a bit of conflict in the Posse act. If our country is infiltrated with enemies, why shouldn't our marines battle them on our soil too? That is their job, to protect you and I.

    This had to come from one of the talk radio wackos.

    urban warfare is a nasty ordeal that needs soldiers skilled in its application....so often enemy is among and sheltering by civilians and how to sort out who not to kill is a tricky business....modern politically correct warfare does not favor the historic Mongol tactic of obliteration of everyone in their path
