… Lindsay Graham was a military lawyer whose job was to advise soldiers not to obey an illegal order.
That is important information the public should understand and now is the perfect opportunity for the media to explain it since there is so much focus on the issue. Morning Joe did do a good job.

Speaking of lazy media today a lot of them are reporting on those Dems telling military not to obey illegal orders. Instead of making it clear to the public that that is what they are taught and part of the oath they take
the media is just focusing on the danger of Trump’s words. Also the outraged

He shouldn’t have that right but Republicans’ refusal to impeach him for fomenting insurrection de facto gave him that right.

You still can’t remove a president unless he is impeached and convicted for crimes. The only other way constitutional way is to invoke the 25th amendment

What do you call all those dead Venezuelan fishermen? Their lives should be considered as valuable as Khashoggi’s whose death was horrifying. Being a WaPo journalist doesn’t make you more of a human being just because journalists knew you as one of them unlike poor fishermen.

They make their personal idea of the perfect the enemy of the good or often the better and have for as long as I can remember.

Do you actually think Republicans would impeach and convict him? That is the only way to remove a president unless you invoke the 25th Amendment if his mind keeps going south but Rs won’t do that either.

Most of the media is focusing on Trump’s call for execution but today Morning Joe was beyond outraged that Republicans/Trump are slamming those Dems for telling soldiers to obey their oath and training which makes it clear they must not follow illegal orders. Ex-JAG officer Lindsay was excoriated.

The courts have stopped some things and many lawsuits pending. Democrats are speaking up all the time (but the media ignores a lot of it) and ordinary folks have been protesting and resisting ICE. At my grandkids school parents are escorting kids in and taking food to families hiding at home

hangin’ with the cool crowd. Mainstream journalists loved to hang out with Steve Bannon because he is “entertaining”. Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined with him after his Fla conviction.
Most have covered up the names of peers who socialized with Epstein but repeatedly mention Clinton.

This happened in DC too. If you were part of the Beltway Villagers — the clique that hobnobbed at Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee’s soirées — you could get away with anything. But if you weren’t, or worse were from Nowheresville in the South, you were fair game. Hence their idolization of the recklessly

The Methodists in Charlotte are also stepping up, helping people get trained to resist ICE effectively. I am struck by how many older white people, especially women, have been stepping up and protesting. Many at the No Kings march said they, like my spouse and myself, were doing it for young kids.

Both he and Francis are working to correct those problems but without causing a schism — a very real threat. They both have disempowered a lot of the radicals on the right, pushing out those cardinals and bishops. I think it’s better that MAGAs hear this message instead from their priests.

Tom Homan, a “Catholic” says the Pope is wrong. Morning Joe excoriated him today for his anti-Christian attitude which goes against the explicit teaching of both Jesus and his church. He should be excommunicated.
