Yet Donnie pardoned the real seditionists.

In other words to provide for a well regulated militia, the people have a right to bear arms.

It does not say only the militia, and the people that belong to it, has that right.

You mean I misinterpreted the words?

You mean the words don't just stand on their own? You actually have to correctly interpret them?
You both got it wrong. The 2nd Amendment was actually a simple fashion statement about shirts.

When they say “threats to our Constitution are coming from right here at home,” that makes it sedation.


I agree with you.

It's clear what they were talking about.

I'm not a judge and don't know whether it rises to the level of sedition, but I don't think there's any mileage in pretending that they weren't telling military members to disobey the orders they are currently being given, right now.

That's obviously the case to anyone who views the matter objectively.

Donnie certainly acts like a dictator.

“I was only obeying orders” is not a defense in a court martial.

It wasn't even that. They clearly tell people to be on the legal side of the law and Constitution.


Here’s what they clearly said

Americans trust their military and intelligence community professionals.

But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens.

Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad...

“I can choose what orders to obey based on what I think.” Is not a defense in a court martial.

That is obviously the case to anyone who views the matter through Orange-tinted glasses, anyway.

That's where I'm at. Legally it's probably thin, politically it's a loser, but their meaning is clear. They didn't go to the trouble of making that statement just to remind the military that they don't have to obey illegal orders. Military members know that already.

True enough.

If a service member declines to follow an order, because he believes the order to be "illegal" ... he damned-well better be correct, or he will be busting rocks for a long time.

This is a solid analysis.

Prosecuting Kelly, et al for the Tweet is marginal at best, even under 18 USC 2387, but it would be a MAJOR political loser for Trump. Recalling a retiree for prosecution for "crimes" as a civilian will strike about 80% of Americans as being fundamentally unfair, regardless of what the UCMJ may say. Trump does NOT need to piss-off 80% of the electorate.

But I don't think that Kelly, et al were actually trying to get anyone to refuse ANY order. I think they were baiting Trump, and he definitely took the bait.

Who said that? They were clearly trying to get them to disobey some orders, right now, at this time. We can both read.

Two CIA agents ... CONFIRMED that ... (yada, yada, yada)
This sort of clickbait is one reason that I loathe the Twitterverse as much as I do.

Those agents did not "confirm" anything. They expressed their opinions.

But "confirm" generates more clicks.

I may not have been clear.

I do not think that they were trying to get service members to disobey any past order, any current order OR any future order.

I think that their SOLE motivation was to goad Trump into throwing a very public tantrum.

If you actually believed the bullshite you’re spewing, you’d be able to make a point better than this just being an unsolicited non-partisan PSA by ex-military/CIA to remind people to follow the rules they already knew were in place.
