I don't know who told you that the oath of enlistment doesn't include the President, but they're incorrect.

As for "illegal orders", you have to know the order is illegal in advance before refusal.
And be willing to go to jail for it.

I think people have this idea that impeachment works like a discharge petition. Get 218 votes in favor, and they get their hearings in the house.
And it doesn't. The only thing they could do is force Johnson to send it to Jim Jordan, who would promptly ignore it.
Just like he's ignoring these.

Never misses.
Same thing when I try to tell a 20 year old that the vote in 2003 wasn't to invade Iraq, it was in fact snubbing Bush who wanted to invade.
Which is why they spent the next 6 months trying to get the UN to agree with them that an invasion was necessary.

And if they think that Trump is going to cover for them...
I almost finished that without laughing.
Almost.
He's going to play innocent, say "I never authorized them to do THAT" and feed them to the wolves.

Also it won't matter since this is the clown who decides what if any impeachments ever get a full vote.

"Why is that Democrats can never do big popular things at the federal level like Republicans can?"
This isn't hard folks. It's SCOTUS.
And the only way to reform it is for a Dem trifecta to ignore all of the suffering people caused by Republican policies until they fix it w/in the Constitution.

Yeah, all I did was take the 2024 Thanksgiving list and go to the Walmart app and plug them in.
The sales prices are cheaper than they were last week when I did it, but the retail prices are more expensive.
Like the turkey.

At my Walmart, it would cost $62.17 before rollbacks.
And my Walmart in eastern NC is one of the cheaper ones it seems.
So to buy the 2024 meal in 2025, it costs 18% more.

I did. At my Walmart, if you were to buy the 2024 Thanksgiving meal in 2025, it'll cost you $62.17, not counting rollbacks which are store specific.
Or 18% more than it did in 2024.

Or after he joined the guard.
Because the guard only meets one weekend a month, it's less likely that anyone of consequence would see him showering or changing.
Much easier place to hide a tattoo than active duty where you have no privacy at all.
Especially the infantry.
