Edwcraig's JournalNicole 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

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.

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.
