Maybe. It’s not clear what % of the troops are really closet Trump supporters or worse. Secondly if Congress doesn’t follow their oath to the Constitution, how can we expect our soldiers to.
Lastly, the key is “may be unlawful.” A clever person could write arguably vague orders and legal orders.

Thank you Lady. This should be a very interesting book. I want to know more.
Have a great day.

Maybe a better question is would the leaders give that order?

Thank you Siobhan for including me. I already knew quite a few of the people, but added the rest. They looked quite good too.

Happy Birthday Jana. And thank you for all you’ve done and are doing for this country. Celebrate today!

That’s too bad. Hopefully the rest of the tunnel is short and there’s light at the end.

Good morning and thanks Jeff. Sounds like you have a lovely day planned. Enjoy. Good to see you’re back to normal— mobility at least. Not sure about anything else.

Good morning everyone. It's a lovely day here. Sun is out. Getting warm, too hot for ICE-- unless it fits in a tall glass.
Hope everyone who is not MAGA has a lovely day, month, and year.
Getting ready to head to Maine in about a week for most of the summer. Just need to avoid all its red dots.

Good luck. He hand picked his Cabinet. None of them is likely to go against him. Unless they’re bought off by Thiel.

I am getting intrigued. Sorry, not enough to read 900 pages, let alone 1800. Is there a book or article on the cold case?
I cannot quite figure out the link between your family and the cold case, but maybe that will become obvious.
And I still don't understand how a Rockport lady ended up in TX.

True, but not to keep their license.
The key point is their mission. Fox doesn't try to be accurate or cater to people who want facts. They use false news to "entertain" the cult.
MSM wants to be seen as delivering objective, true news. They can't have reporters who clearly display their bias.

I agreed with suspending him; firing seems excessive.
As a reporter he has to be seen as objective and fair. Unlike Fox News, which is considered entertainment, ABC News is news and holds itself to a higher standard. Suspending him was similar to what happened with Dan Rather and Brian Williams.

I’m not a lawyer so don’t blame me for how they’re written or interpreted.

If you had the whole article you’d see that he probably committed insurrection but the law is so written that it would be hard to prove. That doesn’t mean what he did was OK because he committed other crimes. But those crimes don’t disqualify someone from being president.

Glad I was sitting down.
So many questions.
Hope there is more coming.
You ought to write a book.

This is an unpopular view but insurrection is a high hurdle. The law is so tightly written that Jack Smith wasn’t sure he could get a conviction on it. If he had any doubt, don’t you think the Rs in Congress would have the same legal opinions?
This is from the Atlantic:

Wonderful. Congratulations. Now pretend you know how to relax and not think about your school, next fall, or the incoming students. Think of yourself and your family. Have a great summer.

I too was there in the 60s. Maybe it’s my memory but this seems different and much worse. We had the shootings at Kent State but we didn’t have the federal government trying to round people up. We didn’t have them trying to invoke protests so they could impose martial law. It was less partisan.

I wonder how much they paid, I mean donated, to get the contract.

I thought so but I thought her bio said she ran for a state office. Either way, lots of people lose initially. I bet Jess is much better known and would be a much stronger candidate this time. Heck, she’d have my donation this time.
Run, Jess, run.

So did his entire Cabinet. Lot of good that did.
comment in response to

Yes she is. I have suggested a few times that she run for Congress. The country would benefit nicely from her election, and MO. would be infinitely better off.

I just read (again) your first couple of posts, including the pinned post. You weren't joking.
Unless your profile picture is of your daughter or grandchild, you are not old.
And you're a former Bay Stater?? How did you end up in TX?
comment in response to

I would think the numbers would be significantly affected by the headline, subject, and length of the article. And, of course, by whether you used mono, or poly, syllabic words.

This is the news I was referring to. I cannot defend it or argue against it. I was not there.

I did not pick up that your father was actually in the KKK. You must have some fun conversations.
The question about Fred was whether he was an active member. There are reports he was arrested or present at a KKK rally, but the known facts are he was in the area. His involvement is unproven.
comment in response to

Emanuel cited the huge war chest Trump and the Rs have already and how the Ds could not afford to spend $20+ million to primary incumbent Ds.
Until things change (chicken/egg?), it's the older people who vote and who donate $ to the Party. We may need to get the young vote. But can't lose the old.

Exactly.

You lost me about the redneck bars. The South and its bars could remain, but without all the people which moved power from the North to the South, and SW.
Your mother is right. Fred Trump reportedly was a member, or an observer, of a KKK rally in NY.
Plus the John Birch Society started in Mass.

You are way too kind. And our difference over Moran could have been resolved in 5 minutes of a conversation.
Martin may go, but Hogg won't replace him. The big money is not behind Hogg. I think it was Rahm Emanuel who said that Hogg's idea of primarying old Ds who won't step down is money wasted.
comment in response to

Well said. Could not agree more.
Here's a thought, albeit somewhat facetious. If most non-MAGA people moved to blue states, esp. blueish swing states, we would control the House, the Senate, and the Electoral College. Unfortunately, we still would have difficulty amending the Constitution.
comment in response to
post
See that's where we disagree. I understand fully your point. I do not think they are the same.
I do not think they suspended Moran ONLY because Trump was upset. I think they suspended him because his comments reflected poorly on the credibility of their news division.
comment in response to
post
Bingo!!! Right again. As always (exceptt when we disagree. 😀😉😜😍)
Have you seen the latest. There is major division within the DNC. The new chair and David Hogg are fighting. Hogg looks like the odd man out, but he is the best link with the youth. Niether leader is great.

I blame a/c for many of this country's problems.
Were it not for a/c, the southern states would be largely uninhabitable and unattractive, the north would remain the population cents of the US, and we would still control the House and the EC.

As people say, both can be true.
