Another instance of inciting insurrection.
post
This fucker literally encouraging states to fight the federal government… alternatively known as engaging in civil war.
This guy should be hanging from the gallows as a public example.
Put him and all his little cultists against a wall.
Ok, if that's what you want, You ARE CRAZY!! And I absolutely agree that this twice impeached, convicted rapist and ongoing defamer is trying to start a civil war, and should be locked up. Last month would not have been too soon.
Given how much of a hard time as he has with pretty minor inconveniences, I think it’s safe to say he has no fucking clue what the real outcomes are that he’s trying to encourage.
I’m old enough to have family and family-of-friends who were personally around in WW2 and the occupation right after. Long story short, war’s not fun for anyone involved. If you don’t like having people say things about you in the newspapers, having people shooting at you or losing your home or not having anything to eat is going to be a real drag.
War must be a lot easier when you know that you’re not going to be on the frontline, or something idk I’m not a general
Yeah. I think part of his thinking is that the suffering will happen to other people, and he'll be safely insulated, far away. I won't say he's crazy for thinking that. That said:
- A lot of the people who are in a position to support him will be squarely in sufferingtown.
- A lot of dictators meet with bad ends. E.g. Putin supposedly obsessively worries over what happened to Gaddafi in the end (and Gaddafi was a hell of a lot more capable at this game than Trump is.)
Trump leading another insurrection, but this time against the judicial branch instead of the legislative branch???
SHOCKED fucking PIKACHU fucking FACE.
Totally not an insurrectionist. Not at all.
Just some mild treason… it’s not all that bad /s.
No no no! He means send the national guard to tour a government building, take selfies, and leave in an orderly manner. You've got the wrong idea. You must be Antifa.
He's not the commander and chief he's just the old man yelling at cloud.
He's the old man with plenty of violent followers who hang on his every word. He's not expecting any actual National Guard troops from other states to be mobilized. This is a call for the same people who invaded the Capitol to assemble in Texas and dare federal forces to try and move them.
Trump just wants a distraction from the $83 million in damages announced today.
Pathetic, to abuse national guardsmen like this. Its a big disruption to their family and their employers to send them on an idiotic,grandstanding boondoggle like this.
He’s not even in charge of his own asshole.
Ok, so now he is literally rallying troops, we still gonna just sit around?
Yeah... No one has gotten in any trouble by following Trump. Be obedient folks.
Do they realize President Biden can nationalize the national guard at the border and tell them to go home if he so chooses?
Any guardsmen that would actually go to TX and support TX would be unlikely to follow the stand down order. I’m kind of curious how many would just follow orders going both directions.
It's probably not as clear-cut as your making it out to be. These would be actually armed forces personnel, subject to all of the rules, regulations, chain of command, disciplinary consequences, etc. that come with that.
Yes, they could possibly make an argument that they have a duty to disobey illegal orders, but not a totally clear-cut, black-and-white one, they'd likely still be looking at arrest, courts-martial, etc. if they straight-up refuse to deploy to Texas. They're people with lives, family, regular jobs, etc. that would very likely have to get put on hold while everything gets sorted out and they may not necessarily come out on top. Depending on the exact context, it's probably going to be hard to make an argument that simply going to Texas would be an illegal order.
So if it happens, you can probably expect damn-near every guardsman from those states to go to Texas if they're ordered to.
What they're ordered to do once they're there is probably where they'd have a stronger case, but even still they'd have to carefully thread that needle if they want to avoid prison, dishonorable discharge, etc. There's a lot they could be ordered to do that would be very objectionable but not quite meet the legal bar of being an illegal order that they'd be obligated to disobey.
Well, maybe we could ask Bush to call upon all willing states to tell their national guard to take up finger painting. Or maybe Bill Clinton could ask all willing states to give trump a wedgie.
But that won’t happen, not because it’s silly, but because ex-presidents have no fucking authority to tell the states to do a damn thing.
Very diplomatic and cool headed. He unites everyone with such poised insight that no one is able to see without his knowledge.
/s
Bring it. These morons in mismatched and non-fitting tactical gear totally have a chance against some dude flying a drone from under a mountain in Colorado. Herman Cain or Darwin award, I don't care which.
ETA: I goofed and somehow missed the term "national guard". Don't comment when in meetings.
The national guard are actual military members not the gravy seals.
You do realize that the National Guard is an Armed Service branch right? The major differences between the National Guard and Army is that they aren't an active duty branch and answer to the Governor of their respective States. National Guard units were deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's not some good ol' boys in military surplus equipment.
If this actually turns into a gun fight it going to be US Military attacking US Military.
I'm sorry, but you're not president anymore loser.
