They are outright admitting their orders are unlawful?
Nah.
Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump's orders are lawful, because he's the president and a president can do anything.
So their issue would be that saying that isn't true, is unlawful.
Which is obviously hypocritical because they acted like Biden and Obama were Stalin and Mao level authoritarians and multiple sherrifs and other red state officials flat out refused to follow orders from the Fed.
By their logic now, all those people shouldve been hung.
But when Trump's out of office they'll change their tune again
If it weren't for double standards, the Republicans would have none whatsoever
Our standards are the best, folks. They're so good, they call them, you know what they call them? I know you know, the lying media knows, but folks they call them "double standards". Can you believe it? Standards so good they're double. And listen, when we put America First, our standards will triple, even quadruple.
God damnit, I could hear that comment.
this was just missing a "clean-beautiful-double standards"
But the reason shit is so fucked, is the neoliberal wing took over the Dem party and their only problem with a strong fed is they didn't control it.
Instead of fighting against the centralization of power, they went along with it because 50% of the time they got the keys.
And the oligarchs that funded both sides were cool with it for the same reason the US was cool with installing puppet dictators in the ME.
You want centralized power in a puppet state because the more you concentrate the bribe the more the person will do for it.
It's not impossible to buy off ~550 politicians to own the federal government, but it's easier to just buy off the president.
Just like it's easier to buy off a single federal government, than 52 state/territories.
Which is kind of the whole reason we as citizens should want the power distributed as much as possible, which includes unfreezing the number of House seats and putting more power in state governments.
And resizing SCOTUS
Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump’s orders are lawful, because he’s the president and a president can do anything.
To be fair, the supreme court recently said exactly that. We literally have a king now.
They are outright admitting their orders are unlawful.
FIFU
They're markedly leaving that word out when they discuss this.
When is the majority of this country going to grasp that we are dealing with an actual, real life traitor?
Is it going to be one of those things where it isn't generally recognized until way after the fact when historians/teachers/students are studying the time period?
It's pretty fucking obvious.
He INCITECD AN INSURRECTION. He is ADVOCATING FOR HANGING POLITICIANS FOR ADHERING TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Maybe when he sets off a nuke in Chicago … but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
The only people who would get mad about telling the troops to refuse illegal orders, are the people who plan to issue illegal orders.
Trump: “Hang them for sedition!”
Commentator: “That is of course nonsense. The President doesn’t have the authority to …”
Supreme court: “As the President is a sovereign, he has absolute authority to issue death sentences for any reason” (6-3 majority)
Yeap and there go. Buy ammo ladies and gentlemen.
Quiet, piggy.
and Dems need to tone down their violent rhetoric btw
if they had balls every dem politicians who could run for next election should say that they will pardon anyone who gets arrested or in trouble for disobeying illegal orders.
Set aside Dems for a moment. When will the media give any of these scandals any deserving attention? Bush, Obama, Biden got raked by the media for weeks for the slightest misspeak
They obviously won't... All the American media outlets are being consolidated under right wing ownership. To the extent we ever had fair reporting, that's over.
Yeah they do that because the people who own the media know two things:
The Dems will get criticised by both people left of them and people right of them, so raking them over the coals generates a lot of outrage which equals to clicks and views.
They can use this public perception pressure to ensure they keep passing policies that are, if not aligned with, don't affect the super rich owners and donators. Because the media owners can always dial up the jingoism and get the republicans elected again at the subsequent end of second term election.
They are all complicit, however I cannot comment on that, because I have not watched tv or followed main stream media in a decade. I have ground news, which is great (I do have some complaints about it, it isn't perfect but no point venting here). So I personally cannot complain about them too much.
drump is going to get what mussolini got if we keep heading in this direction
He's already deserved it for a long time now.
I wish I was that optimistic but who the fuck is going to make it happen?
The tired, hungry, and poor?
J6ers didn't hang...
But boy howdy should they have.
Still can...
And Reddit banned me for 7 days when I said this dude should get the death penalty.
If you haven't noticed yet, that's because it is a tool of the regime that exists to pacify and propagandize its enormous userbase.
So here we are...
I pray every day I see his obituary
Might want to check yourself there Blowjob Rosenberg
Just more sensationalism to keep everyone’s mind off the Epstein files if you ask me.
He is afraid that people explain to the military the current state of the law? Like he hoped he could order them to do illegal things, and they would compüly, not knowing any better?
BTW: The Nuremberg trials started on this day 80 years ago. I hope you guys prepare your version of it then Trump is over.
Trump is a cartoon villain who should have nothing to do with serious matters. He should be gone. J.D. Vance scares me way more than Trump though, and he'd be the next mole to pop up after Orange Julius Caesar.
krasnov out here trying to build a bigger distraction
If anyone should be getting hanged for anything, it's Pedonald for all of his many crimes, including plotting a coup while stoking an insurrection.
But it's always projection with the conservatives.
Everyday I ask myself how the democrats failed to have his ass in prison immediately. We all saw him committing sedition on tv! They also literally had a mountain of evidence he trafficked and raped children. How do the democrats always fail the simplest task to hold anyone accountable?
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and right wing lunatics.
Hang Him!
Hang HIM
Trump is a lunatic
