Why is he stunned? I assume he made the video reminding the armed forces not to follow illegal orders because he thought Trump is becoming authoritarian and putting down opponents is what authoritarian leaders do.

I think the bigger story is that we are in a situation where senators felt the need to say what they said. Has that ever happened before?

I think that the bigger part of this story is that US Senators saw the need to warn our armed forces that they may be ordered to do something illegal and remind them of their duty to not follow such orders. That we are in such an situation is mind-boggling.

A very misunderstood concept. In the movie Idiocracy, the trailer trash were the fittest (biologically and evolutionary).

When it comes to the middle east, I believe Trump just conform to policies of the presidents before him. SA is a authoritarian state with one the most conservative misogynistic version of Islam as the state religion and totally unaligned with our western values. Still a major ally.

By this time, wouldn't they have had the time to "clean up" the files?

Im a federal worker. I care about our country and the people. That the biggest reason for personal bankruptcy is Healthcare costs is outrageous. Stand the line. I will survive without pay for a while and go on unemployment benefits if necessary.

🤣

That is true. But it is kind of funny. Republicans have been the ones waving it up until now. I remember a tea party friend of me told me proudly how he always have a mini version in his jacket pocket. I wonder if he still has it.

The big beautiful balls room

So, I guess, only hors d'oeuveres will be served in the ball room? "The White House kitchen is able to serve dinner to as many as 140 guests and hors d’oeuvres to more than 1,000."

It gotten to the point where I do not get "excited" when the administration is sued for obviously breaking the law. They just appeal it until a court with enough Trump assigned judges approves it.
