Does seditious behavior punishable by death include instigating an insurrection, Donny? How about selling secret documents to foreign governments? And interfering with elections while colluding with state enemies? Declaring war on your own territory?
If he organizes public executions, will they finally try to use the 25th or just roll with it?
“In an unprecedented move by the executive branch, Donald trump executes all democratic lawmakers”
And six months later:
“Federal judge BARS trump administration from executing members of congress“
All they did was use their First Amendment Rights as citizens and military vets to remind their fellow military members of the LAW. That is patriotism, not sedition, or treason.
Sedition would be planning, promoting, and launching a violent insurrection with the objective of stopping the certification of the vote, allowing a lame duck president to remain in office in defiance of the Constitutionally legal vote of the citizens, as well as murder numerous duly elected representatives.
Treason would be stealing hundreds of classified documents to sell to hostile foreign entities.
Hmmm, now that Trump has brought that up, we should investigate any previous occurrences of sedition/treason, and EXECUTE anyone found to have committed such crimes.
the projection is insane lol
Don't worry guys Mine Johnson is here to explain why Trump is actually in the right here
I'm not joking he immediately jumped on the defense.
What'd he say?
Mike Johnson, the Republican House speaker, defended Trump’s claim that the Democrats had engaged in “sedition”, describing the video as “wildly inappropriate”, adding: “It is very dangerous, you have leading members of Congress telling troops to disobey orders, I think that’s unprecedented in American history.”
Johnson also reportedly told the Independent that in what he read of Trump’s posts, Trump was “defining the crime of sedition”.
“But obviously attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that. What I’m saying, what I will say unequivocally, that was a wildly inappropriate thing for so-called leaders in Congress to do to encourage young troops to disobey orders,” Johnson added.
Thanks!
“wildly inappropriate” == death penalty, got it. 👍
“It is very dangerous, you have leading members of Congress telling troops to disobey orders, I think that’s unprecedented in American history.”
That's not what they said though - they said not to obey unconstitutional orders. And I'm pretty sure that's not unprecedented.
If it all wasn't so bloody obvious anyhow I'd say they're really showing their hand.
words have no meaning to facists
Military personnel should have to undergo a daily warnings that they have the Constitutional obligation to refuse to obey illegal, unConstitutional orders. Signs should be posted everywhere - in barracks, the cafeteria, duty stations, etc.. Maybe it should be automatically texted to their phone every morning. If they saw regular signs, heard announcements, got texts, etc., they'd know it was serious.
More importantly, those who might be tempted to give illegal orders, will think twice, knowing that the ranks have been heavily warned about it.
So his boss can spew out the verbal diarrhea and it's ok because it's not what he "really" meant. Bullshit.
Good way to let people know you're giving out illegal orders
It's only a matter of time before he tries to order the execution of a Democrat. Or a TV host or something
He might try the stochastic route before hiring a goon.
That's the current strategy, and this is the perfect example. This has got a very strong "Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest" vibe.
And wants to televise it.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"
"More importantly, any of you people could shoot someone in the head on Fifth Avenue, and nothing would happen to me. So get to it."
This fucker thinks of ratings like a TV producer.
Oh, yeah, he's ALWAYS been about that. For him, life is one big popularity contest, and he's the perpetual winner.
I wonder what he'd think if someone sent an angry, violent mob to the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transfer of power between Presidents?
Depends, is the person a Democrat or Republican?
Ahh. So advocating that service members follow the UCMJ is sedition.
The new guide will be one page, and it will say "Do what you're told, or else."
Trump:
Careful what you wish for.
And there it is! What we’ve all been waiting for:
The outrage.
I’m sure it’ll all be better now.
Yep, so much outrage. People are seething. Seething!
Someone should write an article about Trump getting “slammed”. Or someone could “fire back”, that would make a good headline. Such a response might cause Trump to have a “meltdown”.
If Trump’s insane provocations continue, eventuallly some americans will get so outraged that they will slowly roll over, scratch themselves, and fart.
Domestic enemy of the Constitution right there...
J6 bitch.
America is an enemy.
