      Going to need a strong rope. I feel that using barbed wire as the rope would be a better option…

    You are inside a watershed moment. Here we go. The responses to the video didn’t do these animals any favor with any undecided troops.

    Everyday I ask myself how the democrats failed to have his ass in prison immediately. We all saw him committing sedition on tv! They also literally had a mountain of evidence he trafficked and raped children. How do the democrats always fail the simplest task to hold anyone accountable?

      Because then they’d have to hold themselves accountable too. They’re just as crooked as the fascists, they’re just better at hiding it, and are being paid by people with different agendas.

    When is the majority of this country going to grasp that we are dealing with an actual, real life traitor?

    Is it going to be one of those things where it isn’t generally recognized until way after the fact when historians/teachers/students are studying the time period?

    It’s pretty fucking obvious.

    He INCITECD AN INSURRECTION. He is ADVOCATING FOR HANGING POLITICIANS FOR ADHERING TO THE CONSTITUTION.

        You mean Chiraq? Hell it’s such a lawless hellhole up there they should glass it just to get rid of the libtards. That’s what Sean Hannity told me anyway.

      I fear that if things somehow miraculously go back to normal in the Untied States, absolutely nothing will have been learned, these chucklefucks won’t be prosecuted, no laws will change to prevent a fascist regime, and millions of Americans will carry on oblivious that anything out of the ordinary happened

    He is afraid that people explain to the military the current state of the law? Like he hoped he could order them to do illegal things, and they would compüly, not knowing any better?

    BTW: The Nuremberg trials started on this day 80 years ago. I hope you guys prepare your version of it then Trump is over.

      Nah.

      Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump’s orders are lawful, because he’s the president and a president can do anything.

      So their issue would be that saying that isn’t true, is unlawful.

      Which is obviously hypocritical because they acted like Biden and Obama were Stalin and Mao level authoritarians and multiple sherrifs and other red state officials flat out refused to follow orders from the Fed.

      By their logic now, all those people shouldve been hung.

      But when Trump’s out of office they’ll change their tune again

          Our standards are the best, folks. They’re so good, they call them, you know what they call them? I know you know, the lying media knows, but folks they call them “double standards”. Can you believe it? Standards so good they’re double. And listen, when we put America First, our standards will triple, even quadruple.

          But the reason shit is so fucked, is the neoliberal wing took over the Dem party and their only problem with a strong fed is they didn’t control it.

          Instead of fighting against the centralization of power, they went along with it because 50% of the time they got the keys.

          And the oligarchs that funded both sides were cool with it for the same reason the US was cool with installing puppet dictators in the ME.

          You want centralized power in a puppet state because the more you concentrate the bribe the more the person will do for it.

          It’s not impossible to buy off ~550 politicians to own the federal government, but it’s easier to just buy off the president.

          Just like it’s easier to buy off a single federal government, than 52 state/territories.

          Which is kind of the whole reason we as citizens should want the power distributed as much as possible, which includes unfreezing the number of House seats and putting more power in state governments.

            Shifting power toward the Presidency has been going on far longer than there were neoliberals. It goes back to the early days of the country.

            You are hyper-fixated on one particular boogeyman. Heretics and apostates have always been more hated than infidels.

              Not really…

              There was a short bump after the civil war.

              But after that it’s all been relatively recent.

              Even the stuff FDR was doing was mostly about funding states and projects that helped them.

              The consolidation of power in the fed has been about 50 years which is recent on a country’s timeline.

        To be fair, the supreme court recently said exactly that. We literally have a king now.

    For context:

    Half a dozen members of Congress who previously served in the military or intelligence community are urging service members and intelligence officials to disobey illegal orders that might be issued by President Donald Trump’s administration. Democratic lawmakers Sen. Elissa Slotkin, Sen. Mark Kelly, Rep. Jason Crow, Rep. Maggie Goodlander, Rep. Chris Deluzio and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan said the “threats to our Constitution” are coming “from right here at home,” and repeatedly urged the military and intelligence community to “refuse illegal orders.”

    The video was posted on twitter, but I’m attaching it below.
