Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Should the military have refused these orders?
Given commanders knew these attacks were not authorized by Congress, is there ANY context that could make their orders legal and legitimate?
Is there ANYTHING to differentiate these attacks and kidnappings, from "state sponsored terrorism"?

If this attack and kidnapping was not authorized by Congress, then they MUST respond with impeachment proceedings. Otherwise what is the point in their existence?

What if financial freedom fit in your pocket?
Liberty Pocket = Bank + Cash App + Crowdfunded UBI + Money Markets Dividends + Freedom Points
Built for people, not extraction.
