And NG troops were deputized to the US Marshals and not the DC Police. That can only mean one thing: POSSE COMITATUS HAS BEEN SUSPENDED VIA INSURRECTION ACT??

Hadn't thought of that aspect but I was 'worried' (in a questioning kinda way) when I read that active duty military had been deployed.
I just figured the Dems don't care about it when it benefits them.
No.
Posse Comiatus does not limit US Marines.
Marines were activated Saturday and today the pentagon has decided to deploy active duty military. There is a difference, right?
US Army and Airforce cannot be deployed domestically.
There are very specific words and nomenclatures one has to take care in noticing with these orders.
"US Army and Airforce cannot be deployed domestically" Unless in a time of WAR
It is all over the place even here in GAW has been talked about it. I'm not speculating just because, but because it is news and trending.

That's why I said wording is important.
Active-Duty can be any branch. But Posse Comiatus exclusively forbids army and air.
Marines can be active-duty as well. Same with Special Forces and Space Force.
