Trump tweeted a pic of a West Point plaque, but it notes that the US military places loyalty to the Constitution and the law over one man. Is anything more central to Trump’s presidency than his demand for fealty to him over the Constitution and the law?

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

From the way many Trump voters argue, I wonder how many believe their stance is more popular than it really is—supporting him less out of clear agreement with him and more from something like a completely manufactured bandwagon effect.
The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

Fucking Secretary of the Army told Ukraine and Europe that it had to accept Russia's terms for surrender by Thanksgiving. Traitorous loon.
Politico much confirms everything Marcy says between the lines of this report. And this also appears to be a thumb wrestling match for the future of the GOP between JD and Marco.

BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?

McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took

(Not a no!)

The idea that the electoral college was Jefferson’s is wrong. It didn’t really have any single designer and it was borne of a set of really ugly compromises, we kind of backed up into it and it basically immediately failed.

A gunman tried to silence my wife in an extreme act of political violence.

Now, Trump has called for my execution because he didn’t like what I had to say.

Gabby and I know, when others try to silence you, you must keep speaking out — and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

But he’s not your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving, this is the president of the United States calling for the death of sitting members of Congress.

Also, you don’t get to lecture us about seditious behavior when you encouraged a whole ass insurrection, what?? Byeeee. You’re done.

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.

The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

Is Trump Giving Illegal Orders? Dems Just Blew That Question Wide Open
From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.
