What Happens If Trump Gives the Military an Unlawful Order?

A military that either cannot or will not advise its members that they have an obligation to understand the law is a military in crisis.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

To anyone who doesn't understand why women don't come forward to report sexual abuse: the UNITED STATES PRESIDENT said it's a HOAX after Epstein survivors recounted their harrowing tales of being raped as minors.

Creepy MAGA lunatic Mike Johnson isn’t a Speaker, he’s a defender of pedophiles, a protector of Nazis and a terrorist who helped orchestrate the January 6 insurrection. The only room he should be in is a prison cell.

I’m old enough to remember when we had a system of checks & balances that involved Congress, when Congress controlled the purse and legislated, and the president respected the Constitution & rule of law. I’m old enough to remember when a U.S. president wouldn’t want to be King George or a dictator.

For future reference, let me just add DJT, Jr. (47 yo), Ivanka Trump (43 yo), and Eric Trump (41 yo). I don't think he even knows anything about the other two (or more?).

Daily check in: Nope, my retirement accounts still have not caught up with the Trump market tank re: China last week.

How are you all doing?

All the press reporters have handed in their press badges to the Pentagon, even Fox propaganda News handed in their press badges. The regime is losing control. We the People are fighting back. The regime is going to increase the violence to try to get us back down. Don't stop the resistance.

Mockler: I have spent all my formative years watching the President talk about the opposition party like they should not exist. His claim to fame in politics was saying that Obama was not born in America.

Well, I think the #Antifa founders were Winston Churchill and FDR.

No one has ever asked me to sign up or pay my annual dues, though. And I never even got a tote bag.

Every day brings more signs of cowardice and capitulation. I stated Democracy Docket in 2020 to be independent and pro-democracy no matter what. If you value media that will never compromise, bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
