CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”

Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations.

The executive is a co-equal branch of government. We don't do kings here. We kill kings.

We also kill Nazis. Per long tradition. We don't debate them. We don't platform them. Nazis are guilt free kills. Don't even count as human.

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 175 points 6 months ago (2 children)

We have never killed kings here. We also stayed out of Nazi affairs for many years. The sentiment is nice, but more than misleading. You got weird history books anon

[–] DaMummy@lemmy.world 106 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Not only that, but we also support most dictatorships around the world, we fund genocide, overthrow democratically elected governments, and assassinate people like Lincoln, JFK, & MLK.

Oh shoot you're right, I guess we should all relax and get back to work

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 64 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (5 children)

Literally never killed a king in their history. The closest they got was killing aboriginal chieftains. Muricans just got salty because the King of England refused to let them colonize the native tribes in the great lakes region (which the crown had declared a self-governing protectorate). Americans declared a revolution and cloaked it in jingoistic hoopla about liberty. They also tried (and failed) to enlist Quebec to join them.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 6 months ago

Hey to be fair the US government has killed 1 king in their history, it was just MLK..

[–] Deflated0ne@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Love it. Sincerely I do.

American: kill kings!

European: amateurs.

Lol.

Don't even count as human.

... People can be evil (and even deserve execution) without dehumanizing them. You know, the exact thing we hate them for doing?

I know a lot of other social medias censor this idea, but throughout history, a lot of human rights only came about when people rose up to defend it.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 22 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (4 children)

I know that Americans will push back eventually, and I'vegot faith but, but the rest of the world is watching and wondering why you haven't yet.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 6 months ago

We are pushing back, it's just the US is far more spread out then European countries and protests are purposely not being covered in mainstream media. Not to say we couldn't be better or doing more.

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

"our country is too big and no one is leading us"

That's it. That's the reason. According to Americans on Lemmy/PieFed/Mastodon/Reddit is the drive to DC is too long. Regardless of where you live. Live in New York? it's a long drive. California? it's a very long drive. Maryland? way too long. Also unlike other countries Americans need a schedule and a specific time and date to do it. Other countries will just hit the streets with no planning, no times or dates, they just know something bad is happening and will leave their homes and protest. Americans don't do that. they NEED someone else to organize for them to tell them something bad is happening and to let everyone know about it on this specific date,at this specific time and to please register online to confirm your attendance.

The actual answer? deep down, the vast majority of americans simply don't care.

The US has put or helped keep more kings in power than they have taken out of power. Also, I would like to point out that King George III did not die in the American revolutionary war.

Not a glitch, this is how they introduce these ideas and shift the Overton window more right.

CNN edited their YouTube clip of the interview and removed the part in question. Someone on Reddit clipped it though: https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1o0x5ib/miller_glitches_while_falsely_claiming_title_10/

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 73 points 6 months ago (2 children)

CNN is state media. It cannot be trusted.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 37 points 6 months ago

Yes. All corporate media is state media. None of it can be trusted.

It's a sad state of affairs when you'll get better information from Teen Vogue than any organization in the White House Press Pool.

Keep bending the knee and licking the boots, CNN.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 45 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For real, this is literally the moment that all trust in the media collapsed.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

After the last two years of genocide justification and lying for Israel I am surprised anyone had any trust left.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (5 children)

Apparently Reddit is working hard to try to scrub that off their site as well. The boot licking continues.

So I looked it up and title 10 is all the rules that govern the US armed forces. The president of the United States can trivially be shown to not have plenary authority by the simple fact that the constitution exists. That is in fact the entire point of the constitution, it ensures nobody in the United States has plenary authority. Even title 10 disproves that as it sets out the rules that US armed forces must operate under.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 57 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Didn't you get the news last week? Clarence Thomas issued a new ruling that declared the constitution unconstitutional. Apparently they didn't have the right to write it so he nullified it.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well, Thomas stupidly just removed his own authority to declare things unconstitutional, automatically reinstating it

The constitution is a social contract. Since such a contract can serve as the basis for all society, then the legitimacy of all contractual obligations are linked to the legitimacy of this one, that ensure we have rights and freedom in order to enter into contractual obligations.

Since the representatives of the state founded on the constitution have broken the social contract, then all contracts are null and void.

They’re working off of a more creative interpretation it seems.

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 114 points 6 months ago

Suspicion? This has been the goal of right wing and conservative think tanks for decades now. The end goal of conservatism is monarchy. "Plenary Authority" is just a fancy way of saying "The King can do anything he wants".

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 100 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It took that for someone to become "suspicious" of the Trump Administration while Trump has been talking about dictatorship for years now ... what a joke.

Of course it wasn't a glitch. CNN is no longer trustworthy, not even a little bit.

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 58 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they meant Miller glitched out, because if you watch the video, he looks like a robot trying to process an infinite loop when he says it.

[–] M1ch431@slrpnk.net 26 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

This is like accidentally outing your fetishes/porn habits when you're typing in the address bar with somebody next to you and blaming viruses or somebody else using your computer.

Mr. Miller: It's okay to get off on Trump's plenary authority, but please try to keep it to yourself instead of forcing it upon society.

They don’t even mention it on their website lol. A major piece of news occurred live on their airwaves, and the bloodhounds at CNN didn’t smell a thing! Nothing to see here, folks! Just a slow day in the newsroom. It’s nauseating and ominous as hell.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Never really was, either. Cable News Network exists not to perform real journalism but to sell premium cable packages and ad slots for Cash4Gold

I mean is it not common knowledge at this point that Republicans are fascists and are planning to turn America into an authoritarian state and Americans are too weak and servile to do anything about it?

I thought it was pretty obvious by now.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 17 points 6 months ago

No. Republicans are fascists who are planning to make America somewhat more universally authoritarian than it always has been. 30-40% of Americans are white supremacists who think this is great. The rest are split between people who don't know anything that's happening, those who think that 2008 was a reasonable level of fascism and we should try to stay somewhere near there, and those who don't want fascism at all. (This list is ordered from largest to smallest.)

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 33 points 6 months ago

He’s saying Trump is the Fuhrer

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I hope someone is planning to spin up a new House Un-American Activities Committee to deal with these shit stains when this is all over.
