Was it for conduct while in uniform that is no coming to light and needs to be adjudicated? No? Okay, good luck with that.
Extraordinary step. Pentagon, under pretext of "good order and discipline", threatens to recall to duty and court-martial Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, after he recorded a video telling troops they could refuse illegal orders. Dangerous & authoritarian.

So, I'm listening to some commentary on how JD is trying to keep a peace with Fuentes. They played a clip of Fuentes saying that JD is "race mixing". If your party is having a debate about whether to include Fuentes in the tent, then you are literally open to being Nazis. Like keeping a pet viper.

1. This is rank corruption and a law enforcement issue.
2. All of this is cocaine. So the admin still can't get that right, which matters when your lying to make the case.
