DoD Secy Esper on domestic use of the military

"The option to use active duty forces in a law enforcement role should only be used as a matter of last resort, and only in the most urgent and dire of situations. We are not in one of those situations now. I do not support invoking the Insurrection Act," he said during a briefing at the Pentagon. Esper also attempted to explain his use of the word "battlespace" when discussing quelling violence on the streets amid civil unrest. "It's something we use day in and day out ... it's part of our military lexicon that I grew up with...it's not a phrase focused on people," he said. "In retrospect I would have used different wording.”

Trump has repeatedly said he would only use military as last resort if governors didn’t do their jobs

One man's opinion. A man who will do what his boss says or be replaced.
I am not in favor of using the military at this point. At some point it may be necessary, but not right now.

It may be a “last resort” but part of the deal is making the mayors and governors realize it IS on the table if they keep sitting around playing pocket pool.

Good thing that hasn't happened. Really smart to fall into the trap of giving your opinion on it though.

Throwing his boss under the bus doesn’t end well. Trump will fire him.

He stepped into it and didn’t need to. Just gave the rabid macaques in the media something to bitch about.
Trump already said it’s a last resort.

Pretty sure Acosta just made up the shite in that tweet.

Before going out and looking like a fool. Study what has already taken place.
Kay Ivey takes the call from Birmingham. Her response. "Get it under control now or I'll send the National Guard."
The National Guard was put on standby that morning. 1,000 units ready to go to Birmingham. No idle threats ...show the idiots the light at the end of the tunnel is a train ready to run over your stupid butt.

Yeah, that’s usually how it works in the real world, too.
