It is time for our Military to stand up and say, NO. They need to remember their oath to the Constitution and not this regime. This whole regime needs to be arrested now and put in jail.

Michael, great job!

Who were Trump's handlers on Jan 6 who Forced him to get on TV and tell his minions to go home. Maybe they'll come forward.... Please play the clips on January 6th of Trump stating that he knew that he lost the election yet it was too embarrassing to admit; especially losing to Biden.

AND The video of Trump being told by his Handlers what to say to send the traitors home. Who were his Handlers?

When? If war does happen & with all of the deployments & murders thus far, they are following illegal orders! When all is said & done are they not guilty of war Crimes. ‘I was following orders’ is not a defence! Nuremberg.

He's a Nihilist. Trump is nihilistic. The quickest way to explain this is like OJ Simpson and his ex-wife>> if he can't have her, no one can and he carved her until she was dead. Trump is destroying any who didn't/doesn't recognize his greatness. Yes. We know he's narcissistic. Combined with nihilistic tendencies he is carving/bombing the United States of America, starting with Hollywood, DC and New York City. That's just a start.

Trump is going on with his plans to divide the world into three territories with him claiming the Americas unless the Americas say NO!, and Putin gets Europe unless Europe says NO! and Xi gets Asia, unless Asia says NO.

This is true! It’s time for the military to follow their oath! It’s an official oath. They’re just going to disregard it and start bombing a foreign country when there is no declared war?? I’m hoping they think before they act!

I don't understand how parents of children in enlisted military aren't raging against this devil. I guess they are willing to not only bend to Shitzenpantz. They are willing to let their young men and what women are left, fight an illegal war for oil.

Sounds very Bush like. We all know how that turned out.

100 percent. The fact that someone would willingly say it's shameful to not want our kids dying for an idiot and OIL.

A draft dodger. A felon. A thief and a loser. Not a fit Commander in Chief led by incompetent, dangerous people. Not a reason to lose my children.

Where is Baron Trump? Has he signed up to go to war? He should be the first one in if Trump wants to continue this bs. Regime change for oil didn’t end well with Bush. It won’t end well with Trump. And I thought he was the “no wars” president??? He’s this only when brainwashing his cult followers. Now they’ll have an excuse for this election lie also. One military man or woman dead is too many. What happened to pro-life? It’s a good argument if you want to control women, but if you want oil and money, then every life is fair game. Congress needs to stop Trump, Miller, Vought, and the rest of The Heritage Foundation.

Trump is a failure as a human being.

He is senile and his mental state is rapidly declining. Fraud and lies characterise his life.

He is unfit to be President.

If I had a son or daughter in the US military right now I would be extremely concerned about what this reckless and idiotic Trump regime is going to get them into--some war or conflict that no one here wants. Obviously our military leaders can't be trusted to do the right thing anymore considering the illegal strikes on Caribbean fishing boats. He's risking OUR CHILDREN'S lives.

For pete's sake... Congress far out numbers the deranged felon who cosplays as potus.

Am I the only person who wishes for once,

that the war-mongering bully in chief were encircled by Congress,

and forced to sit down, shut up, get off all devices and grow up.

Of course that would take Congress growing up and taking BACK the Legislative Branch that they completely threw in the garbage. One of the largest mistakes in US history.

Ultimate irony: all Congress wants IS power. But its the personal (me-me-me) power and not that of honorably carrying out the power of the population.

2025: a completely wasted year for USA. 3 more to go?!

Cheeto’s And Nazi Republican Attack On Voting Rights

Fundamental to the Nazi Republican attempt to turn our republic into an authoritarian regime is to do away with thousands if not millions of registered voters who are labeled “enemies of the people” It’s important with daily news cycle distributed information to lose sight of the Nazi’s primary goal

Make no mistake the underlying ongoing effort to subvert and suppress registered voters is THE primary action of the Nazi Republican party So we should not take our eyes off the process that the Nazis have put in place as their primary objective

Cheeto loyalists at DOJ have replaced those who worked to insure free and fair elections Agencies to oversee elections including foreign interference have been cut Of course the gerrymandering has gotten to a boiling point And we can expect more attacks going forward

But Marc Elias at Democracy Docket(can sign up for free) underscores that elections and their certification occur not at the Federal but at the state level so protections against Cheeto’s attack and usurp electoral results will only go so far So WE the People control our own destiny when it comes to preventing the republic from collapse

Wow, what trump is doing, is what I might call terrorism. I never ever looked at the U.S.A. as a terrorist country, but it.seems more and more like Trump blowing up boats, and uniting with the middle east, as well as destroying America, might be a terrorist.

We need to be punctilious even if Trump isn't. His post specifies SANCTIONED tankers [caps in original!]

If he goes to court, as he did with the first seizure, and gets a judge to sign off, he can seize sanctioned ships. Others must be allowed to transit.  This is the grey zone of legality in which he's lived his whole life.

Will he follow his own statement verbatim?  If not, it most certainly constitutes an act of war and it would be lawless not to get Congress' approval. Sooner or later the camel's back must break.

Bad Bunny's avatar

I myself also have to be punctilious. The first tanker seized had been sanctioned earlier for transporting Russian oil (pro-Ukraine sanction). Thus the state was already set to seize it with a judge's concurrence.

The Executive currently has full power to initiate sanctions on ships but the conditions must be specified and can't simply be global.( That would be a de facto full blockade, hence an act of war.) To my knowledge, he hasn't issued an EO yet related to Venezuelan shipping specifically.
