The party of law and order continues to prove they only care about killing Americans, abusing the system, and stealing as much as they can. This administration is the culmination of the corruption that plagues the GOP, and if you still support Trump you’re either not paying attention, love suffering, or are super rich.

There was no need for bin Laden to attack America. All he had to do was invite Trump to Afghanistan and get him to run for president. America would then destroy itself from the inside.

From reporter Igor Bobic:
Arizona’s two Democratic senators said they won’t be intimidated by the Trump administration after the Pentagon announced on Monday an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly over a video he recorded calling on the military to disobey illegal orders.
“If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work,” Kelly, a U.S. Navy veteran, wrote in a post online. “I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) reacted more bluntly to the news of the Pentagon investigation into his Democratic colleague.
Kelly was stating exactly what’s in the UCMJ. The Pentagon is a clownshow under Kegsbreath.

All they really said was follow the law, don’t do illegal things.

Man, watching all this from Canada…its like a bad reality show you can’t switch off. What on earth is happening to the states, it’s crazy

It’s never been a better day to say Fuck Trump. Pete Kegsbreath is just the most recent glared example of the sycophants and toady that Trump has filled his cabinet with l, no one to stand up to him.

Turns out we didn’t win the Cold War, they just played extra long.

As it should be. They swear an oath to **protect the Constitution**, ***not*** politics, and swear an oath to follow all **lawful** orders.

Encouraging our Active Duty Personnel, not warriors, to follow the orders of DUI hire Hegseth undermines every aspect of good order and protection of our Constitution

There is likely to be prosecutions when the next admin comes to power.

So if Pedo Trump “orders” a solider to shoot that group of little children, it’s OK because this is not an illegal order? What the hell is wrong with people?

The part I didn’t understand at first and only found out listening to a podcast is that… they are told this by the actual military during training…

I would honestly love to see who the entire DoJ that Bondi and/or Hegseth would even to prosecute this. This would be an instant career killer.

They are picking on the wrong guy. Vets will unite around Kelly because of how honorably he served. Hegseth and trump are giving Dems all the ammo they need to run the table.

If he’s going to be recalled just to be court martialed, wouldn’t had to have done somehting court-martiable BEFORE he retired?

As a veteran, I want to co-sign this message. A hearty fuck you to all of these assholes. A draft dodger and a tabless, weekend warrior.
In case anyone was wondering why Hegseth never held a command position higher than Platoon Leader — it’s because he didn’t even have a Ranger tab. As an infantry officer, if you fail Ranger school, you are persona non grata. He was extremely mediocre, which makes his chest thumping about warrior ethos all the more nauseating.
Trust me, I was a shitbag myself, and we can smell our own.

Trump has “retruthed” like 2 dozen posts calling this sedition and treason. They’re really trying to milk this right now. They want any opposition they can point at so they can justify force.

Mark “Captain America” Kelly ain’t got time for shitty day drunk Fox News hosts.

Did anyone else read that in Yoda’s voice?

I find it interesting that he told them to disobey ILLEGAL orders and that got Trump throwing another tantrum.

So, is there a general resource for veterans to come t together outside of government over site?
Just curious cause I am a veteran and an amateur meteorologist, and brother them clouds be forming.
