    While the Uniform Code of Military Justice requires service members to obey “all lawful orders,” the definition of “lawful orders” as commonly understood excludes orders to commit crimes, target civilians or noncombatants, or perform civilian law enforcement activities that have long been banned under U.S. law.

    Trump is no longer able to contain his narcissistic rage at being criticized or disobeyed. Calling for service members to disobey his administration’s blatantly illegal orders is a defiant act of patriotism.

    “you’re ignoring what this member of congress said!”

    the congresswoman said “You don’t have to obey illegal orders.”

    leavet goes onto say “She’s telling people to defy legal orders”.

    I don’t believe aliens have ever come to earth, but reptilians in fleshsuits would explain a lot of what’s going on just now.

      I’m not saying anything about anything but Peter Thiel is an anagram for The Reptile

      which if anything is just proof we’re living in some fucked up AI slop of a simulation.

      These are the same shit stains that refer to legal immigrants and refugees as criminal illegals. The ones that condemn the idea of politicized prosecutions and claim no one is above the law while pursuing politicized prosecutions of people for daring to hold Trump accountable and not treating him as entirely above the law. These are the ones touting transparency while cracking down on whistle-blowers.

      I could go on all day with this. Everything they say is in bad faith. They don’t care about being right, they just want to throw out soundbites to be repeated by propaganda outlets. Illegal orders are lawful. Following the constitution is seditious. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. There are five lights. The Star Wars sequels are just as good.

      And the fact that they know they must lie is all the more damning.

      The movie They Live has alien things that have technology to appear human and they are slowly changing the planet to suit their needs.

      They look horrifying too. Just as horrifying on the inside as the people in this regime.

    On a side note did you know she’s only 28, and her husband is 10 years older than her dad? How’s that for pedomaga?

    From what I’ve seen, being a insurrectionist, a foreign agent, a criminal isn’t a problem in the US. In fact it may be an asset to enable you to get the top job. It’s worked in the past.
