US president roundly decried for Truth Social post after lawmakers told military personnel to refuse illegal orders
Democrats expressed outrage after Donald Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of engaging in “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH” and that they should be arrested after they posted a video in which they told active service members they should refuse illegal orders.
The video, released on Tuesday, features six Democratic lawmakers who have previously served in the military or in intelligence roles, including senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, and representatives Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan and Jason Crow.
“Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this constitution,” the lawmakers said in the 90-second video. “And right now, the threats to our constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders, you can refuse illegal orders, you must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.”
That seemed to prompt a furious response from the US president.
Good way to let people know you’re giving out illegal orders
Does seditious behavior punishable by death include instigating an insurrection, Donny? How about selling secret documents to foreign governments? And interfering with elections while colluding with state enemies? Declaring war on your own territory?
Ahh. So advocating that service members follow the UCMJ is sedition.
The new guide will be one page, and it will say “Do what you’re told, or else.”
Trump:
All they did was use their First Amendment Rights as citizens and military vets to remind their fellow military members of the LAW. That is patriotism, not sedition, or treason.
Sedition would be planning, promoting, and launching a violent insurrection with the objective of stopping the certification of the vote, allowing a lame duck president to remain in office in defiance of the Constitutionally legal vote of the citizens, as well as murder numerous duly elected representatives.
Treason would be stealing hundreds of classified documents to sell to hostile foreign entities.
Hmmm, now that Trump has brought that up, we should investigate any previous occurrences of sedition/treason, and EXECUTE anyone found to have committed such crimes.
It’s only a matter of time before he tries to order the execution of a Democrat. Or a TV host or something
And wants to televise it.
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”
“More importantly, any of you people could shoot someone in the head on Fifth Avenue, and nothing would happen to me. So get to it.”
He might try the stochastic route before hiring a goon.
That’s the current strategy, and this is the perfect example. This has got a very strong “Won’t someone rid me of this meddlesome priest” vibe.
This fucker thinks of ratings like a TV producer.
Oh, yeah, he’s ALWAYS been about that. For him, life is one big popularity contest, and he’s the perpetual winner.
If he organizes public executions, will they finally try to use the 25th or just roll with it?
“In an unprecedented move by the executive branch, Donald trump executes all democratic lawmakers”
And six months later:
“Federal judge BARS trump administration from executing members of congress“
the projection is insane lol
I wonder what he’d think if someone sent an angry, violent mob to the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transfer of power between Presidents?
Domestic enemy of the Constitution right there…
J6 bitch.
And there it is! What we’ve all been waiting for:
The outrage.
I’m sure it’ll all be better now.
Yep, so much outrage. People are seething. Seething!
Someone should write an article about Trump getting “slammed”. Or someone could “fire back”, that would make a good headline. Such a response might cause Trump to have a “meltdown”.
If Trump’s insane provocations continue, eventuallly some americans will get so outraged that they will slowly roll over, scratch themselves, and fart.
America is an enemy.
Careful what you wish for.
