The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes that limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. Congress passed the Act as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and updated it in 1956, 1981 and 2021.

Ah, to let white supremacists proceed with dismantling democracy and human rights without interference from 'wokes' in the federal government?

However, in the former Confederate States, many paramilitary groups sought to suppress, often through intimidation and violence, African-American political power and return the South to rule by the predominantly white Democratic Party. Although African Americans were initially supported by the federal government, as Reconstruction went on, that support waned.[2] Following the bitterly disputed 1876 U.S. presidential election and Compromise of 1877, Congressmen and Senators from the former Confederate States returned to Washington and prioritized prohibiting the federal government from reimposing control over their states.

Yep.

The little Hitler moustache explains why he didn't refuse this deployment.

That mustache is only ever on two types of men.

Dickheads, or men mocking dickheads.

It's very Running Man Jesse Ventura.

That mustache is the only one he’s allowed to have in the military. Edge of the mouth is as far as it’s allowed to go and it actually looks like he’s a little out of regulation.

Wait, was that not in the original cut? It's one of the best jokes in there.

On the tatas, boy! On them! "In" sounds like you're prepping for some Santa Clarita fuckery. 🤢
