He's said Feds. I was making you didn't think he was talking about a few FBI agents. The moron is talking about military action.

"Feds" means
Are we just mincing words here? Point is, be it military....or armed federal agents, you're still looking at an outside armed force coming in enforce law (law according to Trump/Feds), and that is the federal government overstepping their dutied into state's rights.
Also, the "feds" work with military forces, like the national guard, and that my friend, is bringing in an outside military force.
You do know that "feds" means federal agent, right? And you do know that the military falls under executive branch as federal law enforcement....right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_law_enforcement_in_the_United_States
Anybody acting as an agent of the federal government, can be considered a "fed."
Just as in the los angeles riots in the early 90's(I lived in LA during time).
The California Army National Guard was federalized and became active federal agents.
What Plainview is saying, if trump federalizes the Illinois National Guard OR sends federal military personnel, without the request of the governor of Illinois it will cause riots and it will.
It's a federal military invasion at that point.
He's going to take everybody from the EPA, Department of Education, and anything else that will eventually get folded into Minitrue and send all those unnecessary employees there, since they'll either solve the crime problem or get shot and stop being a drain on the nation's coffers.
You are not getting it, are you?
By "bringing in the feds", he means, bringing in....the feds. Federal agents. The federal government. It's a slang term that simply refers to a federal group. That could mean FBI, CIA, IRS, etc. Some of these federal groups, do indeed work with the federal military. For example, you do know that it was the CIA that worked to get Bin Laden, and used the Navy to carry out the work.
THAT is precisely what is referred to as bringing in the feds. He means just that, bringing in the federal government, to enforce a state's job, and they use what means is at their disposal as they see fit...and that includes the military, like the national guard, army, etc.
I'm not sure what it is that you're not understanding, but I already listed why that's not a good idea in the previous page.
I'm just hoping they stand by the rhetoric of small government, not just because of who was in the white house. This is their chance to overcome that stereotypic the way I see it.
I think Trump just doesn't actually know, but supposedly in the case of marshall law, it'd be very legal to use the marines as a police force. That's just something I read on reddit though, so I'm not 100% credible on this one.
Yep, because federal agents work with the military to carry out enforcement.
As far as I know, it's usually in cooperation when the investigation involves someone that is breaking federal law, or maybe crossing state boundaries, or crap like that.
Regularly, no. It has to be a federal issue or something substantial like a serial killer, etc.
Feds means FBI. It does not mean any employee employed by the U.S. Government. This is a ridiculous attempt to twist trumps words. Also you can't "federalize" the National Guard. That makes no sense. They already work for the federal government.
I'm not twisting anything. Seems like you have a different interpretation than I do. feds = any agent of the federal government in my book.
As to the National Guard:
So yes, it can be federalized. Otherwise, it is controlled by individual states.

Right, what about it going from 6,500 all the way to 18,500 or 19,000 under Obama? No thanks there? Of course not.
Don't worry, when the bubble bursts, and it will, I'll make sure to thank trump, but I have inkling that you will blame obama and democrats even though the GOP has control of all 3 branches.
Feds = FBI. You are trying way too hard to claim he in any way said he's sending in the military. His tweet had nothing to do with riots. He said he wanted to curb the rising crime rate. So no one is instating martial law. People just overreact and twist his words.
