Sorry Dems, Trump’s Regrettable Post Doesn’t Turn Slotkin et al. Into Victims
“Donald Trump … call[ed] for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. … The president of the United States is calling for the execution of elected officials!”
By now, most of us have seen the extraordinary video released by a group of six congressional Democrats calling on service members to refuse to carry out orders they believe are unlawful. The production had all the hallmarks of a psychological operation lifted straight from the CIA’s playbook. Its purpose was clear: to sow doubt within the ranks and to make service members question the legitimacy of orders delivered through the chain of command. In other words, if your aim is to erode confidence in the current administration, this is exactly how you would do it.
The group included Democratic Sens. Elissa Slotkin (MI), who organized the effort, and Mark Kelly (AZ), along with Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA), Maggie Goodlander (NH), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), and Jason Crow (CO).
I covered this story here.
🚨 HOLY CRAP: Democrat members of Congress– including Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly– just released a video encouraging members of the military to defy orders from President Trump.

Frankly, I’ve rarely seen anything so overtly subversive in all the years I’ve followed politics. And I don’t think I’m alone.
During a Wednesday interview with Fox News’ Will Cain, Trump adviser Stephen Miller said, “It is insurrection, plainly, directly. Without question. It’s a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers saying that you have not only the right but the duty and the obligation to defy orders of the commander-in-chief.”
Obviously very angry, President Trump responded to the video on Thursday morning via Truth Social. In his first post, he wrote:
It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand – We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET. President DJT
He attached a link to an article published by The Washington Examiner titled Dem veterans in Congress urge service members to refuse unlawful orders.

Hyperbole? Perhaps a little. But I certainly agree with his sentiments.
It was his second post, however, that truly sent liberals into a frenzy. It read, “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!”
SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!

It was one of those moments when even his staunchest supporters — and I count myself among them — wish we could pop an apple into his mouth.
Up until that point, Trump had occupied the higher ground. Democrats had made a colossally stupid mistake — one whose intention could not reasonably be misconstrued. But with that brief post, he not only let the advantage slip through his fingers, he managed to cast himself as the villain.
Sean Hannity defended Trump’s remark by noting that the phrase “punishable by” implies due process: “There would be a trial. There would be charges. They would be found guilty. I’m not sure it goes that far.”
That may be true, but in politics, emotion always trumps reason. And Democrats, of course, were quick to pounce.
In the end, however, it was the Democrats’ own hyperbole that squandered the moment.
The most outrageous reaction came from Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT). Here are some of the highlights:
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed.
…
Every Democratic member of the Senate and the House, their life is in jeopardy right now, especially those that were specifically targeted by this social media post.
…
If you’re a person of influence in this country and you haven’t picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a f***ing side.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) is mad President Trump wants people who committed treason to now be tried for treason.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took to the Senate floor to deliver his own version of the latest Democratic talking points which began:
Earlier today, Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged.
He also posted a message that said “seditious behavior, punishable by death.”
Let’s be crystal clear: The president of the United States is calling for the execution of elected officials!
This is an outright threat, and it’s deadly serious. We’ve already seen what happens when Donald Trump tells his followers that his political opponents are enemies of the state.
Naturally, he reminded his colleagues about Jan. 6. And on it went.

Next, the six Democratic lawmakers who produced the video issued a self-serving joint statement condemning Trump.
…
No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.
What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.
…
But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans.
Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence.
This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.
The statement closed with the same line that closed their video: “Don’t Give Up the Ship!”
A joint statement from myself @SenMarkKelly, @RepJasonCrow, @RepDeluzio, @RepGoodlander and @RepHoulahan.

One X user spoke for many of us by calling their bluff. He wrote: “You six aren’t ‘defending the Constitution,’ you’re telling troops to ignore the Commander-in-Chief and pretending it’s noble.”
Real veterans reading this dramatic Hallmark-card press release:
You six aren’t “defending the Constitution,” you’re telling troops to ignore the Commander-in-Chief and pretending it’s noble. Real vets call that what it is, political theater.

Finally, Slotkin released a statement of her own. The message accompanying her video response read: “Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging. Here’s my response.”

While Trump’s all-caps reminder that seditious behavior is punishable by death was both regrettable and unhelpful, it was the Democrats’ own inflated outrage — the sheer theatrics of it — that torpedoed what could have been a win.
After brazenly releasing a video meant to shake troops’ faith in the authority of their commanders, they painted themselves as “victims.” In doing so, they lost whatever leverage Trump’s unfortunate remark might have given them.
They’re still trying to defend the indefensible, and I suspect most Americans are beginning to see that for themselves.

Officers give orders. Enlisted obey orders. Officers are more responsible. Therefore, if those poor upset senators are worried about illegal orders, the proper thing to do would be warn the officers not to give illegal orders in the first place.
On the other hand, since illegal orders are rarer than hen’s teeth, no warning is necessary, unless of course they have ulterior motives.
What ulterior motives?
“Its purpose was clear: to sow doubt within the ranks and to make service members question the legitimacy of orders delivered through the chain of command. In other words, if your aim is to erode confidence in the current administration, this is exactly how you would do it.”
Clearly there is an ongoing strategy to tweak Trump and hope he responds with something stupid. Unfortunately, it works far too often.
Trump plays mind games while his opponents draw their side arms. What do you expect is next?
I expect Al Green to submit articles of impeachment for the 5,286th time.
He has already said he will.
So easy a caveman can do it!
I believe Trump’s response it 100% correct.
Those of us who have worn the uniform, especially those of us who have 3 decades of service, know what lawful orders are, and more important… we know who are the enemy – both foreign AND domestic.
The domestic enemies have spoken.
The world’s most infamous rhetoricians are appalled by Donald Trump’s rhetoric? Damn their bad luck.
I voted for this.
A good soldier obeys orders immediately without question. If after obeying those orders, he questions the legality of them, there’s a chain of command to go through.
I’m surprised some leaders in our government don’t know that.
I wonder, have any of those who signed on to this seditious statement ever served?
Yes. Mark Kelly, former Navy officer; Chris Deluzio, former Navy officer; Maggie Goodlander, former Navy Reserve intelligence officer (and wife of Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan); Chrissy Houlahan, former Air Force officer; Jason Crow, former Army Ranger; Slotkin, former CIA officer.
Morons, if you ask me.
Kelly is especially disappointing. He was a field grade officer although much of that may be due to his being an astronaut although he was a naval aviator before that. The rest were short time company grade officers. They all should know better.
I’ll tell you one thing these clowns and other ex-military turned politician like Blumenthal, Walz, Moulton, Duckworth, VIndman, and Sherrill are doing. They are tarnishing the default respect I normally grant to military veterans because of their service,
Now that I think about Kerry and Gore both served in Vietnam and I have negative respect for them. Ted Kennedy was a private stationed in Paris as an honor guard during the Korean war after being expelled from Harvard for cheating. Perhaps my disenchantment towards veterans extends only to democrats although I kind of like medal of honor winner Bob Kerry although it was a different time.
Mark Kelly, former Navy officer; Chris Deluzio, former Navy officer; Maggie Goodlander, former Navy Reserve intelligence officer (and wife of Biden national security advisor Jake Sullivan); Chrissy Houlahan, former Air Force officer; Jason Crow, former Army Ranger; Slotkin, former CIA officer.
One of these things is not like the others.
One of the things just isn’t the same
Can you tell which thing is not like the others?
Can you tell which thing just doesn’t belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
And do it before I finish my song………
Kinda. I’ve had some pretty dramatic/vigorous disagreements with Superior Officers about whether the particular order was dumb as a stump, counterproductive to the Commander’s Intent and the stated mission goals issued by higher HQ.
That said, once the discussion is done and the boss says ‘SFTU we’re doing it like this’…then that’s it. You salute, three bags full and go do your dead level best to turn s–t into shinola. Doesn’t matter if you like the order, disagree with it or offered a better alternative… unless the order is prima facie unlawful then you go execute and somehow make it work.
all good until…..
” unless the order is prima facie unlawful”
and the left has made it clear,, be it gender or the constitution orrr..”my truth”
that they will make it fit by any means necessary
example: lefty is in power and tells the police …not to help/protect people who are being attacked… ( like when we outraged when the police let civil rights workers be beaten or when ,currently ICE agents are facing this
or when the “innocent” german military was walking truly innocent people to the gas chambers and they were just following z orders
waco texas comes to mind
Hang on this is a discussion about military service members and the UCMJ not about school boards, local/Federal LEO or others. A Military order is presumed to be lawful unless it is immediately and clearly recognizable as unlawful. If your Commander tells you to bayonet babies or start shoving folks into gas chambers based on their group identity then you could/should refuse it b/c it is prima facie unlawful.
Police forces and Federal LEO ain’t a part of the military, aren’t subject to UCMJ and in fact owe no inherent duty to protect the population at large from criminal activity. If the Mayor or Police Chief order cops to step back, stand down and let the mob run wild, loot and burn…. well it is almost certainly stupid, IMO morally depraved and IMO a violation of the spirit of the oath of responsibility they undertook and accepted upon entering into their office ….but not a violation of criminal law.
and yet military and school boards have become one in the same
no longer separate branches …but molded into one ….us against them
we might not like that it is that way
but it is that way
It’s also about the CIA.
“We want to speak directly to members of the military and the intelligence community…
No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution. We know this is hard. And it’s a difficult time to be a public servant. But whether you’re serving in the CIA, the Army, our Navy, the Air Force…”
You are right. We all got that talk in basic training and at intervals after that with the Geneva Convention class and so on.
The left wing of this country believes their feelings are truth and their opinions are law. They don’t care if a bunch of dumb people from the participation trophy generation get court martialed, they want to create as much discord and havoc as possible.
The left is very proficient at this, but it isn’t just the left operating with some degree/version of ‘my truth’, ‘my opinion’ and/or a sense of righteousness that attempts to frame the debate so that those who dissent are automatically cast as an ‘evil other’ deserving of abuse, scorn, derision, attack including physical harm.
The whole purpose of this d/prog cosplay was IMO three fold:
1. Encourage ‘resistance’ within DoD offering implied support for those who ‘make a scene’ about a particular policy.set of orders the lefty wokiestas find objectionable regardless of whether it is actually unlawful
2. Stir up the base/throw red meat at the lunatic lefty mob in hope the mob eats them last
3. Provoke an overreaction by the Trump WH to try and exploit as ‘proof’ the initial implications of Trump issuing ‘unlawful’ orders was correct. ‘See what DJT tweeted? He’s still Orange Man Bad and his overreaction proves it’ in an effort to spin another few days of media narrative and reflect attention off the failure of the shutdown and damaging (to d/prog) Epstein files
That’s pretty much the same three goals of every one of these little d/prog cosplay productions.
you are correct on this but
so what!?!
the are in an official capacity and told people in the military who have access to very powerful weapons to follow their own conscience and rebel when they think the time is right/necessary etc who knows
but they gave them that order
“We’ve got your backs” LOL
They will let you hang and do nothing, probably not even talk about you on the floor of Congress.
I Couldn’t agree more.
only proving that “serving” ones country might lead to
only servings oneself
Hard to believe any of these dweebs were ever in a position of responsibility.
They’re congress critters now. Theoretically that is a position of responsibility although I often wonder about that.
That is wrong. There is a presumption that any order given is lawful, but if a soldier knows an order to be unlawful, or if its unlawfulness is so obvious that any normal person would know it was unlawful, then the soldier must disobey it, and will face criminal charges if he obeys it.
That is the law, and the entire armed forces know it. They’ve been trained in it. There’s no prospect that they would obey orders they knew to be unlawful. And there’s no prospect of Trump giving such orders.
But the Dems’ purpose in making that video wasn’t to persuade servicemen to disobey orders they haven’t been given and won’t be given. It was to persuade the general public that Trump is likely to give such orders, and thus to make the public see him as a fascist would-be dictator. It was entirely about politics, not about the actual military at all.
What Trump said is not nefarious. What’s nefarious is that he was compelled to respond the way he did. Slotkin & Co. are indeed laying what looks like the groundwork for some kind of coup or uncalled for violent uprising. Unfortunately Trump’s riposte fed right into their narrative, obscuring the primary focus which should be SOLELY on what the TDS-inflicted five Democrats were proposing. If Americans do not find the Democrats’ behavior over-the-top-alarming, the country is in for some very treacherous times.
Those troublemakers are lucky Trump is not the type to serve polonium cocktails, or to hire folks weilding curare-infused umbrella tips or similar.
Or poison their cigars.
Trouble maker… meet open window on 57th floor.
I think Trump is conflating treason which is punishable by death and sedition which can go as high as 20yrs in federal pound you in the ass prison. What Slotkin & Co did was tread quite close to 18 U.S.C. 2387 dealing specifically with the military. They knew exactly what they were doing.
18 USC 2387, if it were to be applied to any case that doesn’t constitute incitement as defined in Brandenburg, would be unconstitutional.
The only way a law against one who “advises, counsels, urges” can be constitutional is if the speech it targets fits one of the very small list of exceptions to the freedom of speech. Incitement is one of those exceptions, but only as very narrowly defined. Any advocacy that doesn’t fit those criteria is not incitement, and thus doesn’t fall under that exception, and can’t be a crime.
It’s as simple as that. Congress can’t make a law that contradicts the constitution.
“While Trump’s all-caps reminder that seditious behavior is punishable by death was both regrettable and unhelpful”
What we dont need are small c conservatives telling us what is regretable and unhelpful.
What we need are CAPITAL C Conservatives who are no longer prepared to put up with bullshit from Democrats AND small c conservatives.
Enough of being a pussy! Dont let them grab ya!
There’s no such thing as “capital C Conservatives” in most of the USA, because there’s no Conservative Party. As far as I know only NY has a Conservative Party, and thus “capital C Conservatives”. I usually vote the Conservative Party line in most elections. But in most states there are only small-c conservatives, mostly to be found in the Republican Party.
Trump’s response was measured and proportional. Encouraging this sort of shocking and disrespectful behavior can’t go unchecked in the military — where it would spread like a virus.
I agree and I’m sure Presidents Eisenhower would also concur
but that is one of the punishments of sedition
death
so the author worries about the pr of this while the left actually carries out the murders of people who are completely innocent of crimes
again..any so called supporter of trump who is *aghast* by this would even, if given a chance to re-do history, have allowed the germans to destroy the innocent jewish communities during hit lers rise up to power
trump for the win
No, sedition is not punishable by death for civilians. The military gets tricky and depends on whether it’s in a declared theater of conflict or if a formal declaration of war has been passed by Congress
once military always military
and since they ( congress) has control of the military ,,I will add them to being part of the military
these 6 are seditious which is why electing people that hate america …the dnc and some rinos,,,is tantamount to treason
and while treason and sedition are considered different
they both constitute violent either by physicality or verbal actions against ( in this case) the USA
Since verbal should not be conflated with violence I’d concede
except we have now been taught differently and the left must live up or down to their standards…words are violence
same way they preach no guns for the good citizens but they are free to have armed protection
I am not willing to play the game…..oh look you are the good guys you cant do this or that
while we get attacked/slaughtered
I hear you but I dont agree with you
Congress doesn’t control the military. The military is Executive Branch.
re think time per your statement
Not only is sedition not punishable by death, it’s not punishable at all. Sedition is constitutionally protected speech, unless it crosses the line into incitement. The Sedition Acts of the 1790s were unconstitutional, as were the acts used by Wilson to imprison his opponents. The infamous Schenck decision has been completely repudiated, and there is no way that any modern equivalent of Debs could be tried, let alone convicted.
trump is commander -in chief of the military
the militarys job is to stop the enemy of the usa be it foreign or domestic
he called for justice
the seditious actors called for mutiny
theres your bounty
It would be helpful if we could stop the reflexive use of hyperbolic language and ad hominem attacks as well as the sort of juvenile taunting this d/prog skit embodied. Many are choosing to employ terms and themes about those they disagree with that cheapen and diminish the value of those terms. As an example all the finger wagging claims that X person is an ‘ist full of isms and phobes’ has lost its sting. The overuse of these sorts of terms is creating a callous, jaded response, a sort of cultural natural immunity to them b/c they are applied so frequently. The remaining value/balance of ‘race’ card and ‘victim’ card for group/tribe claims are universally overdrawn and are being declined.
Perhaps it is best all these terms get overused so they lack all value and stop being used. Perhaps common discourse will then focus on facts and not emotions. Nahhhh,,, never happen.
People are angry, frustrated, and impotent. Most are venting because there is little else they can do and throwing around hyperboles at some level is soothing. Well this at least describes me.
It was,interesting to me to see how this was reported on the local (in the DC area). The presenter presented the part where Trump called for the death of the Congressman, but not a,word about their seditious pronouncement. That’s called lying by omission.
That’s because their pronouncement was not seditious.
Also because sedition on its own, so long as it doesn’t cross the line into incitement as defined in Brandenburg, isn’t and can’t be a crime.
I wish everyone would just STFU. This is all becoming tiresome. We have a large country with a lot of problems inside and out. Keep your mouths shut and deal with those please. Or get out of the fucking way and let others address them.
I saw Trump’s response as a warning of how dangerous these kind of videos are and what the ultimate punishment could be. There was no threat of executing these people but only a warning to them. It is telling that not one example was given by these traitors of an illegal order or how any service member could refuse to carry it out. So basically it is an attempt to get an internal resistance movement within the military. Only those members in the military would be in jeopardy, not these slimey six!
so in the other LI article on CA :
The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Governor Gavin Newsom to stop in-state tuition breaks for illegals in California—the latest target of its crackdown on these unlawful incentives to illegal immigration.
California laws provide in-state tuition, scholarships, and subsidized loans for illegal aliens—benefits denied to U.S. citizens from other states.
the dems found these laws to be “illegal” //immoral
so they went ahead and violated *legal* laws
proving once again that
by any means necessary means just that and djt told them (one of) the cure for their sedition
The Seditious Six are just using the last dull tools in the shed to buck up their useful idiots. The inference is there even if that doesn’t meet Milhouse’s threshold. “But I have to keep telling Milhouse, after all of these years, that lawyers are officers of the court and held to higher standards…. I have to keep reminding him of that…over and over again.”
Apparently, I struck a nerve…. good.
Elizabeth Stauffer Regrettable? Well perhaps he should have suggested guillotines…
Demoncrats: “Don’t give up the shite!”
RITaxpayer: I wonder, have any of those who signed on to this seditious statement ever served?
Elizabeth Stauffer: Yes. […] Slotkin, former CIA officer.
I wonder what country Slotkin was “serving” as a CIA officer.
Great Maker, you’d think there would be some advisor on Trump’s team that had the balls to advise Trump that perhaps there are posts that ought not to be made as all they do is give democrats ammunition to stir up their base with hysterical claims like the sitting President has publicly called for the execution of Congress members. But apparently not. Of course, we all know this isn’t true but the uneducated democrat masses just love to get riled up over things like this and democrats encourage that response with statements like this. But in the end I guess Trump just doesn’t care what problems he creates for Republicans in the run up to the midterms and beyond as this is his second and final term as president. He has nothing to lose. But the Republicans do. But here we are and there we go.
anyyyything he would say would cause them to itch
so what if he is more willing to speak the truths than his lackey predecessors!!
f the rinos!!!
they want to lose as long as they personally stay in their seats…. they have that power over us
the civil war is on the streets of america declared by the lefty and ignored by those who either dont venture out /much or sta away from those big blue cities
its here its happening
Everything gives Dems ammunition.
Everything.
We gain nothing by caring or even pretending to care.
The Democrat Six clearly ran their statement carefully by all their lawyers,
With all the high priced lawyers Trump has, you’d think he’d occasionally dial one of them.
Bit of a difference between “I want you dead because I disagree with you” and “I want you dead because you comitted a capital crime”.
spot on
“sacred obligation” as used by slutkin. She wouldn’t know what the term means if it bit her in that overly large as* she drags around.
Ask them if the 2nd Amendment’s “shall not be infringed” means anything to them.
Liars all. And what’s with this worry about ELECTED democrats? They are the most crooked pieces of garbage in the world, why not arrest them? And if found guilty then go to Ace Hardware and buy some strong rope.
“Ask them if the 2nd Amendment’s “shall not be infringed” means anything to them.”
Maybe don’t bring that up. Because yesterday the Trump Administration demonstrated that it doesn’t mean any more to them.
Pam Bondi is now arguing that the “necessary and proper” clause overrides the Second Amendment and allows pretty much any sort of gun control the fedguv wishes.
Funny. I thought “amendments” worked in the OTHER direction.
Bondi seems to believe that the 2nd amendment applies only to the states, not to the federal government! At one and the same time the DOJ’s right hand is vigorously suing states for their abridgements of the RKBA, and its left hand is defending all federal abridgements, no matter how absurd. And Dhillon, who herself is doing excellent work, is defending her boss who’s doing the opposite.
It was one of those moments when even his staunchest supporters — and I count myself among them — wish we could pop an apple into his mouth.
Trump was 100% in the right. He was forthright and direct about the actual nature of these traitors’ crime and how such crimes are treated in our law. Thta was a bit too real for some people but we don’t have the luxury of ignoring the threats posed by Democrat treason. The insurrectionist riots of 2020 were only a preview of what they want. CHAZ was merely a toe being dipped in the water (clear treason committed by dem scum and supported and encouraged by dem politicians and officials – from the mayor and police chief to the friggin governor).
This is serious stuff. What these traitors did with this seditious video is very serious stuff. People need to be aware of what is going on and what is at stake with these nihilist lunatics.
^^^this^^^^^^
“Trump was 100% in the right. ”
Then he was right to say what he said; these Communist traitors be damned.
Trump is right.
And we NEED to show them that there is a cost to this. A final cost.
We need a gallows.
The Tree of Liberty needs to be watered.
The Icarus Six are flying very close to the sun as members of Congress on this one
yeah
but their comrades will just promote them
the civil war has been (somewhat) limited to the streets with a few exceptions……waco texas/ elian gonzales allll the governments actions against jan6 trespassers and the rest of us law abiding citizens with regards to weapons of self protection etc
But leftys sheer pronouncements and in this case for the military to rise up against the people….too much to pretend anymore that they are calling for the war
they went after djt 2x with violence and then the charlie kirk murder and the msm>>>schools treat it like its all a lie
correction:
that they arent calling for the war
Im glad the feld hure Snotkin is a barren old maid.
“This is an outright threat, and it’s deadly serious. We’ve already seen what happens when Donald Trump tells his followers that his political opponents are enemies of the state.”
What happens? They get their kids massacred by transsexual women? They get lethally attacked at baseball practice? They get a .227 through the ear (meant for the head) or even a fatal bullet into the throat?
No. That’s what happens to Trump’s political ALLIES..
His opponents get LEGALLY investigated for their embezzlements of record, their high-priced mortgage frauds that are obvious on paper even to Joe Sixpack, their flagrant abuse of secret phone warrants, their impersonations of high public officials, and all the other crimes they actually committed.
“it was the Democrats’ own inflated outrage — the sheer theatrics of it — that torpedoed what could have been a win.”
Indeed.
I was initially dubious about this idea, but the more they discuss it, the more sold I am on it.
“Threatened to execute an elected official” waah waah waah. I wonder what happened to “elected officials” of the Confederacy, because that’s about where we are. These people are siccing their foot soldiers, their antifa goons on our federal law enforcement, even encouraging civilians to take part in the defiance of Constitutional authority. They have de facto seceded from the Union and deserve no mercy.
Perhaps it is best all these terms get overused so they lack all value and stop being used. Perhaps common discourse will then focus on facts and not emotions. Nahhhh,,, never happen.
People are angry, frustrated, and impotent. Most are venting because there is little else they can do and throwing around hyperboles at some level is soothing. Well this at least describes me.
Bah. Misplaced comment. Will copy and past it.
I’m sorry, but what, exactly, was regrettable about the President’s post?
I would like to point out that Stewart Rhodes started Oath Keepers, for anyone who had taken an oath to the Constitution to renew their oaths and tell their superiors that they would not follow orders that violate the Constitution, largely in response to gun control proposals. And the Left demonized him, he was a hater, a racist, a far right extremist, the organizer of a violent militia. In the end they sent him to jail for J6 even though he wasn’t even in DC on J6!
