6. Commissioned Officers

Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88

“ Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

9. Do not threaten them

I’d leave out the profanity but tell them how much they disgust you.

10. Not illegal at all. I usually call their attention and flip them off

Encounters w Newt Gingrich in the ATL airport, both Alan West and Mike Coffman in the Denver airport Ted Cruz in the Houston Airport.

Conversely I got a hug, handshake and 5 minute discussion with John Lewis(pic as well) in the ATL airport. Hello to Liz Warren in Logan and a "Hey Bernie" in downtown Burlington.

Plenty of other celebs as well in my travels, but airports are where I find most. Joe Morgan was my favorite btw...

11. I don't get out much, but If I ever run across either of my two Senators, I will test the case.

I could go back to my Navy vocabulary for Scott and Rubio and add a few terms I picked up in the construction trades. Heck, I can even cuss them in Spanish if necessary. Even plumbers have special insults, and it is my professional opinion that Rubio is certainly a "sewer fish."

16. Perfectly understandable in the case of Scott and Rubio.

Totally worthless mofos. They defend traitors over country.

12. Asking for a friend?

[Raine]

13. FREEDOM of speech, say what you want 👍

as long as long as you aren't threatening the person with harm .... it should NEVER be illegal!

[Rosco T.]

14. wait... you missed some...

"F* you you traitorous Nazi accessory to murder treasonous MF"

FIFY

[Sogo]

15. Mmmmm, I don't know, but what's "verbal assault?"

[NutmegYankee]

17. A threat of bodily harm.

To be illegal, there must always be a threat.

[Sogo]

19. Thanks for that information.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. Not in any way illegal
