Pretty sure counter terrorism inside the US falls under FBI as a policing action.
The Posse Comitatus Act, which was enacted in 1878 and codified as 18 U.S.C. § 1385, states:
“From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment.”
The Posse Comitatus Act disallows the use of federal troops as a police force unless Congress overrides it, or the use of force is “expressly authorized by the Constitution.” However, the Constitution does not provide for military use as a police force in any capacity.

Biden screwed around until his last two weeks in office to put meaningful sanctions on Russian oil and gas. That will probably end up being a gift to Trump in the long run. Trump will have it over with one way or another in the next 6 months or sooner. No thanks to Biden.
So if Trump follows Bidens policy on Russia, Trump gets credit for any success? But when Biden followed Trumps policy on Afghanistan it was Bidens fault for any failure there?
Makes complete sense to me...
They are just like dear leader. They can’t take responsibility of their own actions or those that they fellate.

First of all neither you or I have any idea what Trump is going to use to end the conflict. What we do know is that Biden has let it continue for almost 3 years and Trump says he’s going to put a stop to it….and he will…quickly. Secondly, anyone over the age of five that thinks Biden followed Trumps policy on Afghanistan should be laughed out of every room they walk into.

Trump set up the running away from Afghanistan. He negotiated the withdrawal timeline. He pushed the Afghan government to release 5000 Taliban fighters.
Trump ordered rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan after election loss
The memo was among the latest revelations from the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol building.

You know......at some point Trumps polices are going to create some positives. My not be an overall net positive in the eyes of many, but some good will come from this.
Are you guys prepared to handle it?

BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.

It could create a positive for me.

Trump also pardoned of the founder of the SilkRoad marketplace.

The good news is most of the EEO policy requirements are due to the law passed a few years later.

If you’re really pissed you’ll give him football tickets.
We can still high five
I get it. When Trump does something, it's awesome policy. But when Biden does something similar, that's (d) ifferent.
You are right, no one knows what he's going to do and maybe he will make a legitimate attempt at ending the conflict. I'm not going to pass judgement on his administration here for a while but so far his strategy seems to be asking very nicely. I dont think that will have much of an impact.

I actually have a pretty good idea what he’s going to do.
Release overpriced "47" souvenirs and go on a bumbling rant about DEI hires?
