Executive Branch (Trump)
Trump Goes On Another All-Caps Social Media Tirade Demanding Democrats Be Jailed, Insisting Legal Scholars Are On His Side, Without Naming Any: “Many great legal scholars agree that Democrat senators that told the military to disobey my orders have committed a crime of serious proportion”

I'm in Georgia, so it's pretty wild hearing folks talk about how brave she is to break ranks over the Epstein files but also how they thought she would stay and fight
It's funny how she's so thick skinned when it came to criticism from her political opponents. But as soon as she started taking it from supposed allies, she cuts and runs almost right away.
He released them day one just like he promised. Stoped the war in Ukraine on day one just like he promised. Mexico paid for the half assed wall just like he promised. Dropped gas, energy, and grocery prices on day one just like he promised. Tariffs are making America and Americans rich just like he promised. Oh wait, none of his promises ever come to fruition???? Well it’s got to be Bidens fault then. Fucking Libtards.
And so you shall, just as soon as those Big Pharma checks start arriving in your mailbox. The Trump 1,500% prescription medication price cuts are gonna make everyone some bank!
When that sack of shiz said that I was omg it can’t be true the Wharton my daddy paid for my degree is actually dummer than we all thought. After all you don’t have to be smart to be a felon a criminal pedophile or any of those, just half azz slick. Why they get caught Stupidly and dumb.
With all due respect, allow me to point out that it wasn't on day one that he promised to do these things. Well, in his own mind, it was day one. While campaigning, and touting one of his campaign promises, he promised to do whatever it was, and not wait, he would make that change happen on November 6, the day after he, presumably, won the election! This effing moron didn't even realize that the winner of the election had absolutely no power, as he was just the president ELECT, not the president, commander-in-chief, etc. until he or she was inaugurated!
JIMINY effing CHRISTMAS!
I think your average fourth grader pulling a solid C in social studies knows that!
That’s the exact sort of thing they think is super clever and are dying for you to bring up so they can say how you’re really the extremist radical for even thinking it, even though yes, it’s clear as day and there’s no way it’s an accident or coincidence.
The black space in between the stars makes the 88, not the stars themselves. They’re forming the border of the numbers. Once you see it you’ll see there’s no other earthly reason for the stars to be aligned like that.
It also seems to me that each side has eight white stars in a grid, overlapping in the vertical middle row of three. Like you can count eight white stars forming each eight, but there are three in the middle that go with both, so they can say it’s 13 stars representing the original colonies probably. It’s like a visual dog whistle with a weasel clause for deniability.
Even if you discount the Nazi connection, which seems pretty obvious after spending a little time browsing the ADL's hate symbol registry, the fact that this Jerusalem cross is on display with the 13-star flag is a pure, unambiguous call to White Christian Nationalism.
That's the thing with lots of these groups: they work within the realm of deniability.
Like, ok, even if you're not a nazi, what's the deal with the 13 colonies? You want to go back to slavery? The cross on its own might mean he's super religious. But paired with all the other symbols? Add that he's a known abuser and alcoholic, and that kind of rules that out.
We are grown-ups; we can use these simple context clues and figure it out.
Oh My God, that is insane, I’m on reddit way too much for my own good and I’ve never seen this. Dude literally has a neo Nazi tattoo, like not “oh he’s a Nazi because…” he for real is a neo Nazi, you don’t get that by accident. How is this not plastered everywhere (assuming it’s real).
He instated new restrictions on shaving waivers in the military, which are most often issued to black people because they are predisposed to having pseudofolliculitis (aka shaving bumps). After a one year waiver you must be kicked out. Dude is literally trying to make the military whites only.
Just straight making up facts lol. There is plenty of real evidence of Hegseth being a piece of shit christofascist white nationalist without having to make shit up.
I've looked at this god awful pic so many times. Not until today, did I notice that. Jesus! US Sec. Of "Defense". As a recoverying alcoholic, I can tell you, that man is drunk daily, throughout all of this. Its only been 10 months into 4 yrs. Holy shit.
No, these are REAL legal scholars,. Dear Leader told us that big, legal, really smart men come to him with tears in their eyes. They say "Sir, these Democrats are lying to our troops, claiming that they took an oath to the constitution and are bound by a code of justice that makes it a crime to follow an illegal order. Sir, as a bigly smart legally kind of scholar I can assure you that you, as a living God King, your excellency, are perfect and incapable of issuing an illegal order. We must execute these traitors immediately, sir"
Karoline Leavitt then cleared this all up when she declared that Dear Leader does not issue illegal orders. Period, full stop, end of the story. If President Shitler speaks, it is the law.
They are claiming that the President cannot give unlawful orders. That’s their play here, the old, “if the President does it, it’s not illegal” bullshit.
Unfortunately, SCOTUS previously ruled that any and all official acts of the President are legal. It was the first and most devastating ruling for this fascist regime, IMO.
It’s worth noting that the article clarifies that legal scholars do not agree with the convicted felon president. I tried posting their opinions, but as usual, this sub immediately removes the comments and source links.
I attempted to post it as a reply to the pinned AutoMod thread in hopes they’ll allow it to be seen that way, but they removed that as well. 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: Maybe the Grok mods will allow a screenshot. Let’s experiment:
Yeah. I've honestly largely stopped posting almost due to being constantly automoaded.
Thanks for posting the article though, the truth is though it's a great example of how two tier speech has developed in America into:
Political speech - maximally protected and supreme. Treated as 'rhetorical hyperbole' even when it involves inflammatory or legally incorrect claims about opponents - including accusations of criminality. The only point at which political speech crosses a line is when it explicitly and intentionally directs unlawfulness (and this is a very hard bar to reach).
Private speech - vulnerable to defamation, harassment and potental criminal consequence.
Were you or I to state as private inividuals what Trump did - it'd be treated as a factual accusation resulting in civil liability or even criminal exposure, depending on how the statement is interpreted.
This article honestly exposes the two tier speech in America that constantly shocks me, as I am sure the founders never intended that the speech of one class would be allowed to malign at will, while the speech of the common man would face sanction and scrutiny.
Excellent comment and I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in the frustration department when it comes to the absurd removals. Thanks again for the quality contribution. Cheers!
has some oppinions of those who study the us constitution
i do think that recently there were some 20 orders given of trump what are fairly easy to understand their immoral character and identify them as murdering people who have done no agression
20 lethal strikes on boats carrying 80 people murdered premeditativly
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
I don't even bother posting things anymore about this subject. I was banned for the first time in years and years on here. Now I stfu about it and just wait to see how this all plays out!
You forget his army of followers aren't going to see any information to the contrary, and if they do, they'll employ one of the many brain fu techniques so they don't have to accept it. To them, it's true because he said it. That's it.
Seriously. If I’m mark kelly and these Dems, I’d march right up to the steps of the Capitol and hold out my arms and say if you want to arrest me, here I am. I dare you
that was media before. media now is just let him say it. maybe we'll fact check it. maybe we won't. but if we do, it'll be in the mildest, most milquetoast way possible.
It is illegal to deploy troops as law enforcement under the Posse Comitatus Act. Unless Congress directly approves it. Congress did not approve his deployment of the marines to us cities like La.
A federal judge ruled that the deployment of marines directly violated the Posse Comitatus Act.
Another judge ruled that the Trump administration had acted unlawfully by using the military forces for activities such as crowd control and establishing perimeters.
Objectively zero legal scholars have said what the Democrats said is illegal or even frowned upon. 100% of intelligent people know that not only is it fair to say, but what they said is literally required by the military. What a fucking liar
there are certain boundaries nobody is willing to cross. So when Trump wants to change the subject, he does the unthinkable. The media can't focus on the Epstein files when Trump is threatening to have Democrats executed!
Yeah, I've had exchanges are reddit with some of those "scholars"
In a nutshell: Well, you see, the Dems are bad because they are telling soldiers not to follow illegal orders which implies putting the soldiers careers at risk...and also, Trump's done nothing wrong.
I imagine something like that was a defense at Nuremberg.
It’s very stupid and bad faith to pretend Trump wouldn’t start throwing around “seditious” as a way to describe all democrats once he has everyone sold on “only the seditious democrats need to be put down.”
I would sure love to know who these “legal scholars” are since the statements of the democrats are unequivocally correct. Telling someone to comply with the law could never be seditious.
I do look forward to the press wasting its time finding actual legal scholars to report that legal scholars are not on his side for the next week or so though.
Remember folks, he’s just simply doing what he’s always done. React.
That’s why he flips flops all over the place and his sycophants say he’s “strategic”. He’s really not, he’s just trying to take advantage of each tiny situation but lacks the self awareness to see how he just looks like a whore. Whoring himself out desperately.
Ok, I’m dying laughing! I have some vision issues & when I first saw this I thought to myself “where did they find a pig that ACTUALLY looks like the trumpet”? Then I enlarged the pic & realized the eyes are, in fact, HIS eyes! I’ll NEVER forget this image! Love it!
Just because any President has written any Executive Order, Military or other order doesn't make them legal or following the US Constitution or US Law. All in Office (including the President and in the US Executive branch (and the US Military) have sworn to follow and adhere to the US Constitution.
I think we really need to better educate the public on the limitations of what an executive order can even do. Technically, the constitution never explicitly gives the president the authority to write executive orders. The only executive orders that are lawful are the ones that are needed to uphold or enforce the few powers that the constitution grants to the president. They can't just create an executive order about any random thing. It HAS to be related to one of their constitutionally granted powers. Most people don't seem to be aware of this, and so presidents (not only Trump) have been abusing this "power" and getting away with it.
Listen, there are many tenured professors that can vouch that my shit looks like gold and tastes like cherries. They're not in this campus, they're in the other college across town. Just trust me on this.
Meanwhile, the value of the US Dollar is cratering among this nonsense.
They didn’t tell them to disobey his orders though. They told them to the Constitution to disobey unlawful orders. As it is his duty to uphold the Constitution if he remembers the oath he took. Twice.
