Biden made it legal for military personnel to use lethal force on American civilians… Maybe Harris doesn’t care. But Biden and Trump seem to both like the idea of killing citizens with the military.
No, he really didn’t. First of all, that would have to be done by congress. Second of all, the changes made were to rules within the military itself, and they did the exact opposite. Further restrictions were put in on how the military command structure would authorize engagements related to exceptions that have always been part of the Posse Comitatus Act. You were either fooled by the right wing spin machine, or you are part of it.
The worst part is the old nugget that every right wing accusation is really a confession. They have every intention of abusing military power against US citizens and want to muddy the waters first to make it another “both sides” thing.
Thanks for checking into it instead of doubling down. We need that today more than we ever have.
It’s always a confession from basically anyone in upper level gov. In a funny way I wish it was actually true that it was always a confession though. Imagine if the Republicans were the communist socialist lefties they accuse the Dems of being constantly. That’d be fun.
But yes I’m down to improve my understanding of facts if they are lacking. Hardly need another reason to hate the military. May as well be accurate about it.

You’re right I’ve gone and checked. It wasn’t a new thing just clarifying that to use lethal force would require the secretary of defenses approval.
Little clarifying language changes are common it’s true.
