    State National Guards ordinarily fall under the control of their respective governors, but they can be federalized by a mechanism known as Title 10 status, which places them at the direct disposal of the president and defense secretary, with active duty officers taking over day-to-day command

    Title 10 isn’t even rare…

    They do it for all types of shit, and Biden is fully within past usage if he does it here.

    I’m cautiously optimistic he’ll do the right thing here.

    His donors don’t want the instability of a full on secession

      Don’t keep your hopes up, rarely does anything exciting happen in politics.

        You mean “exciting” like a fun thing like a rollercoaster?

        Yeah, that’s rare.

        But “exciting” like getting mugged in an alley?

        That seems to be all that’s happening recently lol

        But Biden going title 10 wouldn’t even be fun exciting. It’s the completely normal and expected thing to happen

        We’re watching the fall of Rome in real time and you don’t think it’s exciting?
