Whut is lawfur!?!

Not the attempt at this prosecution, apparently.

And an illegal order is what?

One that violates the law

go ahead and clarify what they meant by telling the military it was okay to take a stand and disobey an illegal order.

It's pretty clear. You don't understand that they shouldn't follow illegal orders?

I don't know how to make it more simple.

You might learn something.

Not likely.

So they needed a commercial to tell the military, something that everyone already knows?

quote:

---

Yes. They told the military to defy orders.

They did, but they didn't. They were very careful with their wording.

Do we know what they meant? Absolutely. And it was nefarious in purpose. But it isn't what they actually let come out of their mouths. I mean, one of them is a legit see eye A spook. They're not stupid.

I don't understand what's so hard to grasp. We know what they meant. They know exactly what they meant. But they didn't outright say it, and there's plausible deniability. They simply and unnecessarily stated a well known fact- troops do not have to obey illegal orders. They were careful to only vaguely insinuate that any "illegal orders" were given. And yes, I'm aware that if Right-wing figures had come out and done this crap while insinuating that Biden was giving illegal orders, those Right-wing figures would be skull-dragged through oblivion for it, and likely bogusly prosecuted, maybe even bogusly convicted. But not when the shoe is on this foot. Republicans can't afford to take a crushing loss against them on this subject, and the media (manufactured court of public opinion) is on the side of "the seditious six" and would paint a continuation of the national narrative that "Trump and his Republican nazis are just continuing their destruction of democracy".

But I'll get downvoted and no one will rebut my logic, as has been the case on this topic. What they did was BS and ethically wrong, but proving a case against them in court using their own words would be impossible. Now give me those downvotes.

Like 98% of them

Do Democrats get to decide what a legal order is?

It seems you’ve lost an argument again loser.

I mean it was douche bag level comments, and you can infer a nefarious meaning, but telling others to not obey illegal orders just doesn’t seem to pass the threshold of criminal charges.

We've been told that intent matters. Democrats get off because there was "no intent" to break the law. What do you think the intent is when sitting members of congress in the party opposite the President and who continually call him and his supporters Nazis and fascists tell soldiers to not obey illegal orders when no illegal orders have been given?

The worst part about our legal system is that you aren't allowed to use common sense.

Lol look at you boasberg of the board
