a bit ridiculous to mention here since the alternative wants to unleash the fucking military on US citizens.

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.

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.
