Did president Trump actually sign the insurrection act | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37774792 United States 01/10/2021 07:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Congresswoman Veronica Escobar House votes to curtail Insurrection Act powers The Democratic-controlled House voted Monday to add limits to the Insurrection Act after President Trump threatened to invoke it to deploy active-duty troops against recent protests over racial injustice. In a 215-190 vote, the House approved the Insurrection Act changes as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act. The vote fell largely along party-lines, though 14 Democrats voted with Republicans against the amendment. One Republican, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.), voted for the amendment. Last month, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act at the height of nationwide protests sparked by the death of George Floyd, saying he would deploy active-duty troops if governors did not “dominate” their streets. The 1807 law creates an exception to the general prohibition on using the U.S. military to enforce domestic laws. It was last used by then-President George H.W. Bush at the request of California’s governor to quell the 1992 Rodney King riots. Trump has not yet invoked the Insurrection Act, but Democrats have continued pushing changes to it after federal law enforcement cleared protesters from Lafayette Square outside the White House with force, Trump deployed thousands of National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., and the administration ordered active-duty soldiers to deploy to outside D.C. to be ready to enter the city if ordered. Monday’s amendment comes after the House Armed Services Committee rejected a similar amendment at the beginning of the month after several centrist or vulnerable Democrats voted against it. The amendment approved Monday would require a president consult with Congress “in every possible instance” before invoking the Insurrection Act, as well as require the president and Defense secretary to make a certification to Congress that a state is unwilling or unable to suppress an insurrection in order to invoke the law. The certification would have to include “demonstrable” evidence that a state is unwilling or unable to act. “Today, if the president of the United States chooses to use military force abroad the president would have to consult with Congress,” said Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), the sponsor of the amendment. “Yet that same consultation is not required for use of military force on American soil.” The amendment would also specify that troops deployed under the Insurrection Act are not allowed to participate in search, seizure, arrest or “other similar activity” unless they are “otherwise expressly authorized by law.” Republicans argued the amendment would dangerously constrain troops and delay a president’s ability to respond to a riot. “This is dangerous,” Rep. Trent Kelly (R-Miss.) said. “We’re having a knee-jerk reaction to what we think the president might do. Not what he did, but what we think he might do.” |

And a small aircraft was being flanked by a fighter jet shortly before the clearing was lifted. Possibly Trump going to a intelligence location while military organized? Mark my words- this is going to turn out fantastic. There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. |

Does anyone know for sure or do you have any links or proof it has been done or not? Quoting: ThreeLittleLambs Isn't there already an insurrection act. Why would he have to sign another one? Yep, it would just be invoked. You can easily tell the rumor is false because the people who created it don't actually understand what they're speaking of. |

Tomorrow we will know. That doesn't mean anything, if the original source was the same. A lie told a thousand times... is still a lie. It's an old psyop trick to make it look bigger and more believable than it is. |

Does anyone know for sure or do you have any links or proof it has been done or not? Quoting: ThreeLittleLambs I doubt it. saw part of a video by a guy with an English accent who said Trump did, but also babbled on about all kinds of stuff, power outage in the whole of Pakistan, and also that every third vehicle entering Canada is likely to be searched, and that Quebec has a curfew. Yes, Quebec has a scamdemic curfew. Not related to any insurrection act. The land border between US and Canada in general is closed, only essential traffic allowed. Searches are normal, duh! So there goes the credibility of English man. But it was a nice thought. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6745228 United States 01/10/2021 08:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don’t know... but everyone is hinting at it, and there seems to be odd troop movement as well as restricted air space. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79415468 We don’t know where Trump or his family is at either. I may be completely wrong, but it seems like we’re getting rather close to SHTF. I know this is hearsay, but on that site that sounds like red bit, someone said that their friend in Scotland said he was absolutely sure he saw trump and his secret service escorts in Scotland yesterday I think it was. Like I said I don’t know how true it is. Just letting you know what was said. |

The house will impeach tomorrow w/o a doubt. I think the senate could vote later that day and given all of the gop who have spoken against Trump it’s possible they get the 2/3 that they need. We seriously could be looking at Trump removed from office by this time tomorrow. If Trump had a card to play it doesn’t appear he played it. Nipples McGee |

Stop pinning bullshit threads! -Armchair General- "No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation." -General of the Army Douglas MacArthur "I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major General and during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for big business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers.
