Edwcraig's JournalWe have now moved from Constitutional process to Constitutional authority
Conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the constitutional authority of the state is the definition of sedition. Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison.
Joe Scarborough just tried to equate Republican MAGATS to peace protestors of the 60's.
In his effort to justify Republican dogma that he helped create and has lead to this anti-democratic Ronald Reagan "Government is the problem." attempt by Republicans to destroy our democracy he has drawn a moral equivalency to the peace protests of the 60'. His ego will not let him admit that he helped sow the seeds of this sedition. No Joe. Stop rationalizing this evil. You were wrong then. We rejected the fascism of your Republican Party then and your efforts to justify them today. And the peace protestors of the 60's were right.
Nicole Wallace Just asked Steve Schmidt "How did the whole party break bad"?
She went on to ask how an entire political party became corrupt. Schmidt dodged the question giving a diatribe about the evil Trump. I suspect they both believe that Trump had hijacked the pure, pristine, conservative Republican Party that they worked for for years as highly paid operatives.
Really Nicole. Really Steve.
Donald Trump is a Republican. Republicans are Trump. Trump is the manifestation of the ultimate leader of the modern day Republican Party. Founded on the philosophy of Ronald Reagan that "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem" and before that the Southern racists who abandon the Southern Democratic Party in opposition to the Civil and Voting Rights Act to form the "modern" day Republican Party.
Really Nicole. Really Steve. You did not see this coming. Republicans embracing the overthrow of our government and white supremacist's taking over. Too many good pay checks and fun parties paid for by the oligarchs and foreign enemies set on destroying our Democracy.
Really Nicole. Really Steve.
Gene Robinson just said Trump has gotten the 2020 experience
He got Covid
Lost his job and
Is being evicted.
Do not give Trump any excuse to institute the Insurrection Act
Let Trump's people march.
Let them say what they will say.
We only lose when there is "insurrection" when citizens fight citizens.
DO NOT GIVE HIM THIS.
We need to start discussing military use against citizens, Lawful and Un-Lawful Orders
Been in the military. There are laws about the use of the military against US Citizens. Interesting article.
https://militarybenefits.info/military-civilian-law-enforcement/
Even if there is deployment, military personnel need to know the responsibility of obeying only lawful orders. Military members disobey orders at their own risk. They also obey orders at their own risk. An order to commit a crime is unlawful. An order to perform a military duty, no matter how dangerous, is lawful as long as it doesn't involve the commission of a crime.
"Lawful" orders must be obeyed. Unlawful orders such as killing innocent civilians must be dis-obeyed. It is tricky. The consequences of obeying unlawful orders are to be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. This is not the civilian court system. Not a lawyer. Do not know what civilian court authority would exist.
We just had Trump goon's attempt to kidnap or kill a sitting Democratic Governor. Full stop.
It is like we have been so de-sensitized that we are not even acting outraged. Look at the posts this evening. Attempt to kidnap or kill a sitting Democratic governor. How are we going to protest this act by Trump loyalists? Tonight tomorrow, there needs to be an outpouring of outrage against Trump Republicans. We need a symbol of our collective outrage. I am looking for a Gretchen face mask. What else???
