Any volunteers? Maybe some Proud Boys who flunked out of ICE School?

It's not like they ransacked that capitol building or anything.

Let's be clear about what set him off. Six Democrats, all with backgrounds in the military or intelligence, made a short PSA reminding service members of the oldest rule of the armed services in a constitutional republic: you don't follow illegal orders.

It's the law; black letter law. Moral law.

You follow the Constitution. They did not call for mutiny. They did not ask for a coup. They didn't tell troops to pick a party. They said, in essence, "Your oath is to the country, not to a man." That is civics. That is literally the job.

Trump's response was not an argument. It was the howl of a bitchy autocrat who thinks the government is his property.

Donald Trump on Thursday did what autocrats do when the mob gets restless, the propaganda stops working, and the lights start flickering in their palace: he is pointing at elected members of Congress and screaming "traitor," and then hinting, nudging, reposting, and cheerleading the idea they should be executed.

Not metaphorically. Not "politically." Literally.

And then Moses Mike came out and LIED to everyone saying that Dems had called for Military officers to disobey legal orders.

The gloves are off now. No more pretense of reality, just lies and violence.

@#5 ... Let's be clear about what set him off. Six Democrats, all with backgrounds in the military or intelligence, made a short PSA reminding service members of the oldest rule of the armed services in a constitutional republic: you don't follow illegal orders.

Agreed.

The implication of Pres Trump in his response is that he knows he is asking the military to do illegal things.

Otherwise, why would he have such a strong objection to what was said?

Republicans okay with the President calling for the execution of his political opponents?

Must be a day ending in "y."

"Why Democrats are warning about Trump giving illegal orders

In fact, the members were not urging anyone to disobey "lawful orders." They explicitly referred in the video only to unlawful orders " and repeatedly so.

The other problem is that "defying the chain of command" isn't just something military servicemembers are allowed to do in such cases; it's something they're often required to do.

The section of Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice dealing with failing to obey orders states that members can only be sanctioned for disobeying lawful orders. And service members are generally obligated to not follow orders that are "manifestly unlawful."

Includes a long list of other Trump indications that his orders are above any Laws.

Donald Trump is certainly a traitor to the United States

I am somewhat surprised that the Retort's own military genius, "major" boazo boi, hasn't chimed in on this yet.

I wonder why that is?
