Six Demos ion. Congress have a PSA-type "ad" claiming Trump is committing unconstitutional crime, but none will cite the crime, as if breathing is criminal. Why are they so shy?

Maybe because the allegation is a myth, like Russia, Russia, Russia?

Also waiting for the mysterious "illegal order" that they want to incite the US military to defy.


I suppose some rando judge in the middle of bumfuck USA will eventually "declare" an order "unlawful," thus setting off a second civil war for you guys.

That is not true, they did not claim that Trump is committing unconstitutional crime, what they did was remind soldiers that legally, they must follow the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) which mandates the refusal of unlawful orders.


but none will cite the crime, as if breathing is criminal. Why are they so shy?


You want them to cite the crime they didn't mention?

Trump responded by throwing a conniption, which raises the question of what illegal orders does he intend to give. Can you cite the crime he wants to order the military to commit?

Curiously, I looked up your military laws and it says nothing "mandating" the refusal of unlawful orders. All it does say is that following an unlawful order provides no protections under the UCMJ. Lawful orders are defined by military and civilian judges. So if you disobey a military order, thinking it is your duty to ignore orders you don't think are lawful, lawful orders or not, you will eventually be in front of a court martial to hash it out after. And if you guessed wrong, the penalties are quite harsh.

Remember that Trump has an IQ of 73. Ok, ok, it probably is 45-47.

Nonsense. All the video said was that they don’t have to obey illegal orders, which every service member learns in basic training.

Because they aren’t necessarily alleging that Trump has given illegal orders, they’re warning service members because Trump has demonstrated many times over that he does not care about the rule of law and absolutely would give illegal orders. This is the same guy who told his former secretary of defense to shoot protesters in the leg, his former DOJ to seize voting machines, and tried to steal the last election with a fake electors scheme. To say he wouldn’t give illegal orders is just stupid.


Maybe because the allegation is a myth, like Russia, Russia, Russia?


Setting aside the absurdity that you guys are still using an investigation performed by his own DOJ as evidence of a democratic conspiracy against him… what I find hilarious about this latest fake outrage story on the right is that the representatives in the video very clearly stated nothing more than “do not obey illegal orders”, and yet you guys managed to take so much more out of it.


After years of pretending Trump couldn’t have incited the January 6th attack on the capitol because “he said be peaceful”… all of a sudden, now, you guys finally understand the concept of inferred messaging.

I wonder if those National Guardsmen recently attacked and almost killed in your Capitol could have defended themselves better if not for all those fucked up "PSA's" your professional gamesters toss around.


I suppose your politicians discovered that if they frame Guardsmen or cops as “illegitimate,” they get instant applause from their base, and absolutely zero downside for being wrong. That’s how your country ends up with shutdowns, chaos, and people getting assassinated, because the political incentives in your country reward performance arts over reality.

Yeah, your insane theatrical rants about fantasy predictions are gonna really console military families today.


You guys really lost the plot. If they didn't have a reason to hate you before, you just gave them one.

Fantasy predictions? Consoling military families? Who’s talking about any of this?


Are you feeling ok?

America was not prepared to defend against a terrorist trained by the CIA. It’s a disgrace that after 20 years Afghanistan can still attack Americans.
