With Trump ramping up the violent rhetoric to extremes, literally saying Dems should die, we should take a moment, again, to remember my state's Speaker that was murdered by a MAGA killer pretending to be a cop.
Trump couldn't bother to give any condolences to the Hortman family, didn't go to

As someone who first enlisted in the Army and then eventually became an officer, I've had a lot of training sessions talking about the legality of orders.
This has included numerous reviews of cases like the My Lai massacre and torture at Abu Ghraib. Incidents we should never forget.

Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.
