here's some light reading on it

Did you know that the US National Guard isn't considered Federal Troops in the same sense as FEDERAL Army , Air Force, Navy or Marine Corps. The coast guard however does have express authority to perform law enformcement and not bound by the posse comitatus act.
Similarly - Nattional Guardsmen are considered as reservists unless called formally into full time action, and not subject to the limitations of Posse Comitatus Act too.. Further a president can call in the military to quell an insurrectional Act, as can others in government when needed, such as a governor of a state.
Did you get your talking points from Fox News again?
Trump could have called them in at any time, but it would have stopped the exact actions that he was trying to gain. The fact is that trump is a borderline personality disorder type of narcassitic asshole, and he has zero compunction to hurt or kill anyone that would stand in his way in getting power.
The only difference between a Trump and any other dictator is experience and age. Trumps old compared to Hitler and his youth- but the fact that you MAGA's are similar in your undying fealty to Herr Leader, as a good hitler youth, you would agree to his actions or requests to storm a capital, hang mike pence or injure anyone in the name of loyalty to Trump. Its enough reason that he should never be allowed to be in power again.
Perhaps you should take your Hitler youth pins and pocket knifes and get back to doing some reviews on the hooker board like you joined up to do, or atleast get the details on the posse comitatus act right.
It's funny to watch our conservative friends blame democrats for the actions of those who wore the red hats, drapped themselves in Trump Garb and Flags, and then have the absolute gall to say we made them do it. Fucking insane.
