I favor the death penalty. Justice must be upheld. It's the Constitution and it's spelled out clearly. No one is above the law and it's time to uphold it.
What stands out is how Leavitt didnt just defend the statement but refocused the entire narrative back to what actualy happened. When the reporter tried twice to spin it as Trump threatening Congress, she made it crystal clear that urging 1.3 million active duty members to break chain of command is the real danger. The fact that these Congress members have military backrounds makes their actions even worse becuse they know exactly how serious it is.
And weaselly. They carefully parsed their words. Of course no one should follow an unlawful order. No one would argue that. But they prefaced that with ‘trump is pitting the military against the American people’. Which would be unconstitutional if it were true.
So, a video by 6 veterans reminding military personnel that they have a duty to protect the US constitution and to disobey ILLEGAL orders is wrong why? Trump bizarrely suggests that they should be shot. 😳 Did they say anything incorrect? No. The only reason someone would get upset about reminding troops of their duty by people who used to be in their shoes is if you are PLANNING to issue, or are CURRENTLY issuing, orders directing them to do something that is illegal and against their sworn duty. If the president agrees then all he has to do is put out a statement saying he agrees totally. It does appear, to most normal citizens, that the president is behaving like a dictator. Killing people without a trial, taking a lot of money from foreign governments and giving a huge US welcome to a Saudi leader who has been persona non grata because he ordered the killing and dismemberment of a US citizen is not normal.
You are lying. You know it. Word for word what you said might be half truthful. But the context is there and you know that it is. You know they were encouraging people to disobey the orders they have been given.
They’re encouraging people by telling them to only follow lawful orders and to not obey unlawful orders? To follow the constitution they swore an oath to. Can you just imagine the firestorm it would have caused from the right if the last administration had reacted like the current president by saying that some GOP politicians should be hanged? Give me a break. You can’t have it both ways. We’re sinking boats that are supposedly drug runners (we don’t know - they’re dead). No trial. Killing the low totem guys, if they are, and losing the chance to go after the truly big guys who are creating this drug trade. We’re Americans. We don’t kill people without a trial. China and Russia do. We’re a nation of laws.
What happens when one of these young people listen to these Democrats? Multiple people have wrongly told them and anyone else who will listen that immigration enforcement is illegal. When you tell people that ______ law is illegal or you tell them that Trump is defying the Constitution and they take action that ruins their lives? How many times has a Democrat or social media influencer or legacy newspaper or a Professor at an elite school told people that Trump is doing unconstitutional things? That he's breaking the law? All the time. And, then what happens? The cases make their way through the process and the ruling says, "No. He is not breaking the law. No. He is not doing anything unconstitutional." Liberals are almost always wrong about the law, especially as it pertains to Constitutional law. I might feel differently if they all had a good track record when guessing the interpretation of the law, but it is abysmal. Someone is going to take these members seriously one day and that person will have their life ruined because they listened to Congressional Representatives tell them to defy orders. Just because there are actions taken that people don't like doesn't mean those actions are illegal in any way.
So, Kelly, this turd of a video resembles an infamous Hillary Clinton operation. Remember that lowlife’s role in the horrific 2012 Benghazi attack? The time when several brave Americans died because “…a direct order of the Commander in Chief was obstructed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.”
Like back then, the reckless, irresponsible, self-serving actions by these 6 shameless Dems potentially put innocent lives at risk. And worst of all, just like with Clinton, none of the 6 fools will ever be held to account should something bad happen.
Sure - A presidential order to destroy suspected drug-trafficking boats and kill their occupants without warning or due process is illegal because it violates both U.S. constitutional and international law. Under the Constitution, the Executive Branch cannot authorize the use of lethal force against individuals—especially outside active hostilities—without due process protections guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. Federal statutes governing the Coast Guard and military operations also prohibit the summary execution of suspects and require attempts at interdiction, search, and arrest when feasible. Internationally, such an order would violate the Law of the Sea, which mandates that vessels be hailed, boarded, or arrested rather than destroyed unless they pose an imminent threat, and it contravenes international human-rights law, which strictly limits the use of lethal force to situations of immediate necessity. Consequently, a “shoot-to-sink” command against alleged drug boats and their personnel exceeds presidential authority and violates binding legal frameworks.
The presumption of innocence that is one of the pillars of our Democracy that Insane Clown reverses because it is more convenient for him. Anyone can "end crime" by sending in a bigger gang of criminals bestowed with immunity or blow random boats out of the water on the pretext of smuggling drugs that may or may not be correct. No one of either party has seen fit to do so until now and there is a very good reason for that.
It is past time for these people who are committing sedition, treason, insurrection, conspiracy, etc to be held accountable. Regardless if they are sitting congress members. Judges. Lawyers. Military. Law enforcement. If it is not stopped, charged, prosecuted, sentenced, it will keep festering and get worse. Court Marshall them all.
The Insane Clown you worship is correct that treason is punishable by death. The Insane Clown you worship is the one who committed treason by means of his incitement of "J6" that is a matter of public record. And that no one knows better than Insane Clown which is why he pleaded like a bitch for immunity.
Thanks for reading!

Very much like Benedict Arnold.

…but it is not true so…

So give us one example of an unlawful order from this administration.
Sure - A presidential order to destroy suspected drug-trafficking boats and kill their occupants without warning or due process is illegal because it violates both U.S. constitutional and international law. Under the Constitution, the Executive Branch cannot authorize the use of lethal force against individuals—especially outside active hostilities—without due process protections guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. Federal statutes governing the Coast Guard and military operations also prohibit the summary execution of suspects and require attempts at interdiction, search, and arrest when feasible. Internationally, such an order would violate the Law of the Sea, which mandates that vessels be hailed, boarded, or arrested rather than destroyed unless they pose an imminent threat, and it contravenes international human-rights law, which strictly limits the use of lethal force to situations of immediate necessity. Consequently, a “shoot-to-sink” command against alleged drug boats and their personnel exceeds presidential authority and violates binding legal frameworks.
The presumption of innocence that is one of the pillars of our Democracy that Insane Clown reverses because it is more convenient for him. Anyone can "end crime" by sending in a bigger gang of criminals bestowed with immunity or blow random boats out of the water on the pretext of smuggling drugs that may or may not be correct. No one of either party has seen fit to do so until now and there is a very good reason for that.
Notice multiple National Guard deployments have been ruled unlawful.
If Trump will not be giving illegal orders, what difference does the video—which simply restates existing law—make?
Why do I suspect that you and most other commenters on this thread are salivating for some illegal orders?
It is past time for these people who are committing sedition, treason, insurrection, conspiracy, etc to be held accountable. Regardless if they are sitting congress members. Judges. Lawyers. Military. Law enforcement. If it is not stopped, charged, prosecuted, sentenced, it will keep festering and get worse. Court Marshall them all.
And nothing will be done to reprimand these insurrectionists in Congress
Other members should censure or expel them.
The Insane Clown you worship is correct that treason is punishable by death. The Insane Clown you worship is the one who committed treason by means of his incitement of "J6" that is a matter of public record. And that no one knows better than Insane Clown which is why he pleaded like a bitch for immunity.
Leavitt is the Bomb!
