The military does not need to obey Trump because he is an illegitimate president under Section 3 of 14th Amendment.

An insurrectionist cannot hold office.

Trump was adjudicated to be an insurrectionist by the Colorado Supreme Court and deemed not eligible to hold office.

This IS the original post without the fake video.

Now I'm repeating myself because people on this thread don't actually want to listen to the truth. They just want to fight. Like you said, Samantha, I must be mad for staying up all night posting. So I'll leave now, and you can all insult me ad nauseum. Go ahead. Be nasty. Diss me. Make it a contest

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

I did admit it. And it has been taken down for hours now. I get the feeling that it is less about the video and more about people in this thread just wanting to dump their excess rage onto someone.

What standing ovation? What Nazi?

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

That was not the context in which I used it. I used it to describe how the Dems/left are expected to be purer than snow, while Republicans/MAGA can lie all day without results. The left gets policed for any tiny slip-up, but the MAGA liars go free. (Also I was tired, so could've used a better term.)

If you're trying to make me mad, it isn't working.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

Yes, I've already said that hours ago once I determined that the video was actually fake.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

You came in late on this conversation. Your comments are out of line with what actually happened.

"Metaphorically" means in a non-literal, symbolic way.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

I don't care. They are bullies. Bullies are weak.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

No, but look at their state government. Definitely fascist. Sending state military to invade another state? That's a fascist move if I ever saw one.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

Yes, the fake video has been deleted for hours.

During the Nazi regime:
"Journalists or editors who failed to follow these instructions could be fired or, if believed to be acting with intent to harm Germany, sent to a concentration camp."

Here's the original post, and it remains true (like it or not):

I didn't "admit" anything. I think you're one of those bullies who make themselves feel better by beating others down. (Metaphorically, kids. Calm down.)

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

What did I do that was bad?

Congress’s newest member Adelita Grijalva flew to DC to be sworn in.

Mike Johnson never scheduled it.

Why? She says it’s because her first move would be signing the petition to force a vote on releasing Epstein files.

Blatant obstruction.

As I explained to Sarah:
I used the term "truth perfectionist" for people who expect the Dems to be purer than snow while Republicans lie all day long. The left gets policed for any tiny slip-up, but the MAGA liars go free. (Also I was tired--up all night--so maybe there's a better term.)

What lie? I told you that I found out the video was fake. It has been taken down. What more do you want?

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

I understand that. That's why I was asking questions about it.

Elizabeth Edgett @elizabethedgett.bsky.social · 12h

Thank you for your kind words.

And, no, I don't support trump.

There's nothing Libertarian about UBI.
UBI is just a floor of support under capitalism below which no one can fall.
