are never changing their minds and I do not think it can be used as any reflection on those in the armed forces.

'Do the Right Thing': Veterans Call On National Guard Members to Refuse to Deploy Against Protesters

Over 300 veterans have signed onto an open letter encouraging members of the National Guard to respond to the "moral choice" in front of them by refusing orders to deploy against protesters in streets across the nation.

"We urge you to have the courage to do the right thing," the letter says. "Refuse activation orders."

Anyone Huey would even talk to off the air in his personal life is almost always going to share his sick and demented world view. He lives in a white echo chamber.

I asked him what he thought about democracy and the idea that Trump is ruling our nation with a heavy hand like he won the election in a way that allowed him to claim a mandate from the people.

His response was "well he won by the rules"


That speaks volumes about the lack of values of the Trumper/Republicans. They don't care about democracy. They don't believe America should decide how America is run. They simply want power and control and that's it.


As such they are hardly going to be bothered by Trump threatening our democracy or Constitution as they see the damage as benefitting themselves

These call=in shows screen their callers, and only those on script get showcased on the air.
