Dude deserves the electric chair for treason.

America is so full of traitors its wild.

Yes. It also gives grounds for the military, from the top brass all the way down to private, to refuse an illegal and unlawful order from this idiot. It may also prompt the pentagon to remove him. Unfortunately, most of the pentagon's top leadership has been replaced with yes men.

In response, Democrats have claimed that Trump is sending the country into a constitutional crisis.

Fucking Jesus the constitutional crisis has been here for almost two months already. Great job Dems on underselling the seriousness of this.

The crisis is here and has been ongoing. Saying he is just sending us into it now is pussy shit.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The only parts of the Constitution they pretend to care about are the first and second amendment and only when it serves their interests. The rest is basically just toilet paper to them.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Ol' Petey seems a big fan of the 21st...

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 2 points 7 hours ago

Deep cut there. I love it!

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 46 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

What they're teaching is self sufficiency. When that self sufficiency is realized we will have a real revolution with mortal consequences. There are more of us than them. We are smarter than them. And we are angrier than they think. If the DNC wont play ball with the true will of the people, it will be a bigger problem for them than us.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

All this shit and you threaten fucking Democrats?!?

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

What you expect? Fucking Russian Donald Bots they actually are.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I truly believe that. It's hard for people to see when the "majority" opinion is so loud and constant.

It's why social media is dangerous.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

People on this site sometimes...

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

We need to cleave off at least some of the MAGA movement to make this happen.

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 22 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Let them come to us. We gain nothing by catering to them. Ask Harris if you don't believe me.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Oh I'm not advocating for anything right now. But it might be an interesting time to tune into the main show on TYT and see how those turncloaks are handling this.

Anything that can cleave off or create factions weakens them.

[–] seaQueue@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Meanwhile we've got ~respectable moderates~ like Quisling Schumer popping a semi at the mere thought of bombing Iran

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

It's my guess that they either have 1) weapons manufacturers donating to them or 2) have weapons manufacturing in their district (which they see as "job creation" for their constituents) or both.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 6 points 18 hours ago

Of course they have weapons manufacturers lobbying them. The government is literally the ONLY client for some of these clients. Who else are they going to sell their weapons of mass destruction to?

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 4 points 19 hours ago

You're forgetting all that AIPAC money.

You're the godamn devil

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 20 hours ago

Maybe the next protests should be organized next to their homes.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Don't you know they are only suppose to act the year before the elections

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

What if there were elections every year? There's always someone who needs to act.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

They're complaining about it because one of these times they might have to actually do something.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 24 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Pete Hegseth will disobey anything except the shakes

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That got a hard laugh out of me

[–] ModestMeme@lemm.ee 57 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

The only qualification Trump wanted of Hegseth for the job was a willingness to use the American military against American citizens on American soil. Hegseth wrote a book advocating for this.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 16 hours ago

I'm also 100% convinced the story about Kristy Noem shooting her puppy is what got her the job. That screams callous and heartless which is exactly the qualification Trump would want...

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 58 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Saying flat-out that the only court they will acknowledge is the Supreme Court. Gee, I wonder why that might be.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

I would have settled for the 5th circuit, just like they've done 90% of the time. Bold claim, even for Nazis

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 38 points 20 hours ago (1 children)
[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago

Yup, it was a requirement for the job.

[–] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 37 points 20 hours ago

The courts have to start finding these people in contempt and deputizing people to go enforce those orders on behalf of the court if law enforcement won't. The House won't exercise its duty to be a check on the President. The Senate has barely made a few weak gestures. All that's left are the courts. Well, and We The People.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 16 points 19 hours ago

Why wouldn't he disobey? There have been literally no consequences for Trump or any of his sycophants.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Fucking what, sending them in the first place is disobeying

[–] lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 18 points 20 hours ago

Pfft...

suggests

Are you daft? You know very fucking well he would straight up disobey on the guarantee of a pardon from Mafia Don Mangolini.

FFS.

🤷‍♂️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Isn’t he Fox lightweight? How could they have confirmed him?

[–] ironcrotch@aussie.zone 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

They confirmed RFK Jr for Health, Tulsi Gabbard for Intelligence, Kash Patel for the FBI. They'd confirm a dried out turd given the chance.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

All fucking DUI merit hires.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 4 points 18 hours ago

Pete Hegseth should be removed from power.
