That's not true. Are you saying that if Canada attacked the US, the CiC couldn't order US military to the border?

Posse Comitatus covers using military as LEOs or actions inside the US, not to defend it's borders. If the US military's job isn't to defend the US, then whose job is it?

What do you think the chances are that Canada or Mexico is going to attack us?

ZERO.

It's an absurd proposition.

There would be no need to defend the US border so Trump would have no reason to enlist the military for anything other than an offensive act, which as I said, would be illegal.

Sorry, but you are not following the conversation.

There is a difference between what Trump says he'll do and what he can do without Congressional approval. Violating Posse Comitatus is one thing he can't legally do. Defending the United States, even with some absurd claim of "suspected terrorist attack" from Jihadists based in Canada, isn't violating Posse Comitatus.
 
Let's see... I doubt his minions will remove the B key from every computer keyboard the way Clinton's minions did with the W key when Bush won office. I doubt Trump will loot the White House the way the Clinton's did...

Agreed. They'd just trash the entire keyboard by dumping a mug of coffee on it.
 
Trump's Golden Flounce looks to be pardoning himself and his relatives.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/11/11/trump-pardon-kardashian-nixon-lame-duck/
Trump, whose presidency was defined by pushing the limits of executive power, can be expected to break new political and ethical ground: He has already issued high-profile pardons for former Maricopa County, Ariz., sheriff Joe Arpaio, right-wing commentator Dinesh D’Souza and Alice Marie Johnson, whose case was famously championed by Kim Kardashian.

In the coming days, Trump will probably pardon individuals in circumstances similar to those pardoned by his predecessors in the waning days of their presidencies — those lame-duck pardons have tended to fall into three broad categories. And he might try to grant the most nefarious imaginable pardon, even though it can’t be supported constitutionally: He might try to pardon himself.


https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/trump-pardons-loom-defeat/index.html
Current and former Trump administration officials say there's been minimal preparation for an expected onslaught of clemencies, as Trump is still pursuing dubious legal challenges to the election. But his Twitter feed over the past three years offers a working list of where the President might turn to wield his pardon power -- primarily toward those targeted by former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Perhaps the biggest looming pardon question is whether Trump will consider granting himself a pardon, amid state investigations into his business and finances and the prospect of federal investigators scrutinizing him after he leaves office.

Trump has been asking aides since 2017 about whether he can self-pardon, former aides tell CNN. One former White House official said Trump asked about self-pardons as well as pardons for his family. Trump even asked if he could issue pardons pre-emptively for things people could be charged with in the future, the former official said.

"Once he learned about it, he was obsessed with the power of pardons," the official said. "I always thought he also liked it because it was a way to do a favor."
 
At least part of Trump's Flounce is "The Purge: White House". The speculation is that Trump is firing everyone who won't take an unlawful order.

As the video proves, Trump has a lot of experience firing "all the best people"

Trump isn't done yet. Maybe he's holding out hope for December 14th. He could still start a war either by action, such as attacking Iran, or inaction by pulling our troops out of Iraq or Afghanistan and letting them collapse to the Jihadists. Obviously Trump doesn't care about how many thousands of lives lost by such actions. He's more interested is showing his displeasure to everyone who didn't vote for him.

I have never worked for an employer who demanded you lie for them or face termination and unemployment.

I assume at this point the only people who can stand working for Trump are gimps, cucks, sycophants.

Unfortunately true. Trump has most certainly used this same style in the business world. Very transactional, laws are not always followed no matter who gets hurt.

Nicely done.

I have had employers suggest that I fudge or spin the facts. I made it clear I would be doing no spinning, just presenting the facts as best I could ascertain them.

Spin is just a fact in any organization.

What Trump expects is flat out lying by his employees, and solely for the benefit of Trump - not for any greater policy goals or objectives

Agreed. In fact, what they are doing might be seen as criminal and prosecutable.

Plus his lying is often detrimental to other people, to the country's security, to health, to our values as a nation. No one cares when he lies about how amazing he is. We do care when his lies cause damage ("virus will go away" "perfect phone call" "I believe Putin").

Agreed. It's an amazing time. The inmates are running the asylum. The next few months will tell if the nation is correcting back on course or descending into madness.
 
President Caligula is capable of anything. He is not restrained by the normal problems of respect for the law and the constitution. He calculates by what helps him. He has to make up his alleged mind. He is stirring up shit bigly,

Saw on the NYT this morning where Biden's economic advisors are warning of a "double-dip recession" next year.

Quick, buy stock in tricorner hats, teabags, poster board, and marker companies! The Teatards are coming! The Teatards are coming!

I wouldn't doubt it. Trump is the type of person who not only takes his basketball home if he's losing but will chains the doors shut and burn down the court with everyone inside if he doesn't get his way.

I am predicting a truly epic end to the Trump administration. He's already got a good start. Right now it's like the pot is just under boiling. When it's official he's a fucking loser and is going to be thrown out of office, he'll turn up the heat so high the pot boils over.

I don't know whether to be truly terrified right now, or deliciously frightened like you are when you read a Stephen King novel. lol

What do you think he'll do before leaving?
