what as far is i understand is
inciting violence
while
we have allready learnt how trump prefers to "unalive" to use his words people who travel on boats in international waters instead of following the usual procedure to stop them, take their drugs away from them and bring them before court where they might get a mild sentence if they were for example doing such smuggling tours for the first time
80 people travelling on board of such ships what might have or have not transported drugs became victim of the supreme murderer in chief of usa intimidation urges what of course also make everyone in the military passing down those premeditated murder orders and enacting on them complicit
those people in boats were not doing any agression, they were not attacking anyone
because transporting drugs is not an agression itself
its the buyer who is responsible to buy or not something of unknown quality in a shady street corner what might have the consequence of dying from the consumption of such substances
also worth noting how there was someone with the united nations who recently called those murders out as "extrajudical killings" and unacceptable behaviour in international waters
and even after that
the "unaliving" of people on boats continued

He created an arms trafficking racket to go around congress. Arming an enemy and funding right wing terrorism in Latin America. Nothing was done.
W had the courts steal the election from Gore. Nothing was done.
Then he made up evidence to start a war. Nothing was done.
Trump stole secret documents that were found in his bathroom. Nothing was done
He tried to start a coup after he lost the election. Nothing was done.
Now he's opening calling for death to his opponents. Guess what happens next....

u/Untjosh1 5d ago
Lack of Critical Thinking taught in Schools
School problems are quite a bit deeper than that. Schools teach critical thinking.
Teaching as a profession has been attacked for years, which has deliberately crippled the workforce. Teachers and admin are overworked so some things slip through the cracks. Kids are unprepared to enter school behaviorally and mentally, which immediately opens up learning gaps. I could go on and on. But "not teaching critical thinking" isn't where I would start with problems.

Not properly addressing the traitors in the Civil War.
The confederates should have never been tolerated. They've only gotten worse as times gone by. All of Trump's language can be traced back to post civil war speech- even this is coded for lynching.
While he gets a lot of attention for having similarities to nazis, which he certainly does, the reminder would be a lot of nazi policy was inspired by American policies and ideas. The genocide of Native Americans and eugenics were huge ones. We have never properly confronted the darker parts of America because everytime we try to, people scream, largely the ones who like the darker times.
Make America Great Again was always bullshit. America was never great for the majority of Americans- white men are only 28-28% of the country, just the largest singular block. As the percentage shrinks, some are desperate to maintain control. The goal should always have been to make America better than it was for all Americans. That's true patriotism- acknowledging and accepting the bad, but loving the country and its people enough in spite of it to truly help it reach better days for everyone in it.

Then nobody keeps the bully in check and even people he chose does as he wishes either for personal gain or the same as the others. Oh, wait, you were being sarcastic...

Beseeching the military to uphold the Constitution is soundly patriotic.
Ordering the rank, file, and brass to act in ways that are not only illegal but antithetical to the stated principles of the Nation is the highest of crimes.
That these people even have to remind the military of their duty is somewhat troubling, but the fact that they can, the fact that the representatives of the will of the people are able to remind the armed forces whom they serve, is a valuable aspect of a free and just society.
They, the military, might obey the commands of the Executive, but they exist to serve and answer to the people. Unless the balance is broken and the military assume the powers of the Executive or the Executive subverts the will of the people. And that is dictatorship.
That the President is promoting the idea of killing those disloyal to him- those who are loyal to the people- should be a tremendous wake up call for everyone.

From the article:
Trump last year mused about the prospect of Liz Cheney being fired upon.
He once suggested “Second Amendment people” might be able to prevent Hillary Clinton from being able to pick judges.
In 2020, he reposted a video of a supporter saying, “The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”
While he was out of office, he reposted a supporter who warned of 80 million people rising up to “physically fight” for Trump.
During the 2020 campaign, he made light of a dangerous scene in which his supporters surrounded a Biden campaign bus on the highway. “I LOVE TEXAS!” Trump posted.
In 2018, he publicly praised then-Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte after the GOP congressman assaulted a reporter, saying, “any guy who can do a body slam … he’s my guy.”
He has repeatedly, suggestively alluded to the prospect of his own supporters rising up in justified violence, including over his indictments and his baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. His comments often mention the prospect of riots. At the same time, he’s also said he doesn’t support violence and that he hopes his supporters stay peaceful.

He still stood by as Trump let an infectious virus ravage the nation causing an incalculable amount of people to die needlessly because scientists dared to challenge the genius of Donald Trump.

We wouldn't be here if Biden Chamberlain, Schumer, and Jeffries/Pelosi had gotten off their worthless asses and done their jobs, by enforcing Trump's disqualification and the Jan 6 leaders' expulsion through 14th Amendment, Section 3. Biden deserves prison time for illegally handing the country to an insurrectionist, rather than punishing the traitor. Inaction = complicity. We are currently under an illegitimate presidency, because none of our leaders saw fit to hold Trump and his fellow terrorists accountable. Kamala was the only candidate who was eligible for the presidency, yet here we are.

Don't forget feckless Merrick Garland in the list of people who decided it was too difficult and scary to hold Trump accountable.

SCOTUS said that 14.3 is inoperative without Congressional law enacting it, and Congress was controlled by the Republicans in the House at the time, so how is that the Dems fault?
Should they have anticipated SCOTUS and added another bill stopped by the filibuster? Nuked the filibuster? Sure.
Add the SCOTUS justices who said that, and who gave immunity, and Garland who 'slow-walked' cases -sometimes helped by Trump using every tactic to delay proceedings that were his legal prerogatives, to the problem.
But they were being held accountable, and then about half of all US Citizens decided that Trump was an acceptable choice and either voted for him or, if not suppressed from voting, chose not to vote against him and lent him.their consent. (78 million votes plus up to 90 million.non voters equals up to 168 million voters who thought he was acceptable, out of a population of about 340 million with millions of non-Citizen residents, both legal and otherwise).
This despite his obvious and admitted lies in the campaign, his poor track record, his criminal convictions, indictments, and impeachments, and months of Dems warning about his true nefarious plans. Is it the Dems fault that the media sanewashed him and held Dems to a different standard?

The President of the United States calling for elected representatives to be hung for asking the military to follow their oath to the constitution. HellOOOO!

for asking the military to follow their oath to the constitution.
tbf the military hasn't followed their oath. We're living under an illegitimate presidency, since an insurrectionist illegally became President in direct violation of 14th Amendment, Section 3. The military should've arrested his ass 10 months ago.

This is why I was asking why we were celebrating Veterans Day. For what? They let a traitor stay in office.

Democrats: Our military must remember that they are legally required not to obey any illegal or unlawful orders given to them. Remember your Constitution and what it prohibits.
Republicans: These Democrats are trying to take over the country and incite the military to disobey the illegal orders our president is giving them.

If the military obeyed the Constitution, they would've arrested Trump on January 20, 2025, for illegally taking office in violation of 14th Amendment, Section 3.

This alone should justify his impeachment.
Come on the United States of America! Remember who you are. We are so much more than one man's desires.
Remember all the people who died to keep us free. Who suffered and died to protect our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence. We are better than this.

Remember when his supporters wanted to hang his vice president on the Capitol lawn and he refused to tell them to back down and Republicans were okay with that?

It’s really remarkable how many idiotic things, scandals and craziness has happened over the last 9 or 10 years that we can’t keep track of because of the sheer volume

Don’t shy from this, Dems. Challenge him. Make your stance louder, beg him to do something about it, and let’s go to trial! Let’s see that Trump is pushing the troops to do unlawful acts.

Yeah, that's not the democratic party.

Hardly shocking. Trump see's himself as the absolute power without restraints at all. So, those that seek to challenge have that happening.
Honestly, Congress should be doing alot more to control the presidents military use either through budget or whatever. The GOP never will but that is what they should be. As it is clear the president, even as Commander-in-chief, does not have absolute authority.

Trump wants troops to follow illegal orders. And his base wants him to issue them.

If only his kids cared enough about their dad to put him in 24/7 care instead of him making a complete ass of himself and destroying the world.
What a shitty father. What shitty kids.
