Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

So, even though "Trump’s D.C. National Guard Deployment Was Unlawful, Federal Court Finds", the administration is STILL ordering additional troops?
One can't help think that the guard members wouldn't have been shot if they hadn't been deployed to DC for optics. And now more will be sent? ? ?

In today's episode of "this regime doesn't care if you die" we have the FDA's drop of a proposed rule on asbestos testing in cosmetics.
But don't worry. They're working on a NEW rule. A BETTER rule. It will be the BEST RULE EVER.
Not.

Seems pretty clear that they wouldn't be pushing back so hard against folks suggesting that only legal orders should be followed, if they didn't know that ILLEGAL orders were being given.
Otherwise, they would just say "you're right; only follow legal orders" -- right?

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.
