He only comes out at the last minute when he’s desperate. If the GOP candidate said next week that military must obey lawful orders, he’d cut him off. “I never heard of him.” Fickle and faithful only to himself. Got to give Trump thus: his self service is unlimited.

And I know it get old hearing the same again, but we in the military heard it often and more:

You must refuse unlawful orders!

Your oath is to the constitution first and foremost, and then to the President and officer appointed over you, according to the UMCJ.

UMCJ make unlawful orders illegal.

Securing American Greatness is the only funder of the Utah GOP's effort to repeal Prop. 4—and it just added $1M more.
One donor. $4.35M.

A Trump aligned dark money group just dropped another $1 million into the effort to repeal Utah's anti-gerrymandering law.

So far, Securing American Greatness is sole donor behind the repeal push.

Is the idea that if you capture Caracas, you win the war?

That was Russia’s plan in Ukraine. Capture Kyiv and a few days later capitulation. They didn’t have much luck after 3 years.

Venezuela is NOT going to be an easy war for MAGA.
JUST IN: GOP Rep. Salazar says the US will start attacking Venezuela “within days”

This is not going to be hard…You have 8 million Venezuelans in exile talking about the largest reserves of oil..that will be doing business with the American oil companies

Why not just enforce the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which covers the same issues??

Actually I have a serious question; since the a Supreme Court has bestowed the princely rights of immunity as president-do contribution limits apply? He could pour his fortune into these races because it benefits his executive powers. Right?

I’d ask MAGA why he hasn’t supported the guy with $$$
I bet he knows next to nothing about them. About as much ch as me, but I would never make some of these ugly assumptions and I hope decent people in the 7th never make them, too.

Lemme see if I can remember from the Biden years what we're supposed to say. Oh yeah: "Watching him sundowning like this, it's clear it's time for him to lay down his burden and get the rest he deserves. How cruel of the people around him to force him to stay in office—it's inhumane." How'd I do?

You can refuse illegal orders.

This! This hurts Vlad the most. The oligarchs will pull long knives if it keeps happening. What a grand way of negotiating.

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.

But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.

WTH?

A future Democratic Administration could easily investigate the whole chain of command. Every one of them, from SecDef down to the enlisted guy pushing a button could have violated US law.

Wish some leaders would warn them. Oh! Yeah. That’s seditious somehow.
Hegseth's kill everyone order! U.S. officials and law-of-war experts have said that the Pentagon’s lethal campaign — which has killed more than 80 people to date — is unlawful and may expose those most directly involved to future prosecution,"

“I love the poorly educated”-Donald J Trump

“Mike Lee is an outstanding Senator”-also, Donald J Trump, showing his love.

He is including presidential pardons, and claiming without evidence. Juts a kingly decree.

I’m okay with this. His democratic successor can do the same. I think pardons are great, but if this nullifies them, I’m good. They need constitutional reform, which is unlikely. This? A solution. Maybe?

I hadn’t caught this when it happened. I’m sure MAGA cheered. But,MAGA is only a potion of the GOP,which is only a portion of the voting public,which is a portion of eligible voters, which is only a portion of Americans.

The cheer of bullies and children in adult roles.

They cheer, I laugh, sadly.
