Cheney and Rumsfeld tried to repeal the Posse Comatatus Act when their corrupt CABAL was in power.

With this new USSC, I am not sure anything Trump and these "New" Republicans want would be rubber stamped.......

After All, the President *IS* the Commander in Chief of the Military.........

I have wondered if Trump has had some clothes designer secretly make up some samples of Uniforms he could wear, like other dictators and tyrants around he world have for public appearances??????? Remember when he wanted a military parade of U.S. Arms down the street in front of the inauguration during his installation??????? Huge tanks, Rockets, Howitzers, etc

Nothing says: "I have a really teeny penis" better than huge phallic shaped rockets on wheels moving down the streets...
