This is a reminder to American service members:
Your oath of allegiance is to the United States, not to Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris. You have a duty to obey lawful orders issued under the authority of the commander in chief. But it is your duty to disobey unlawful orders.
The oath is actually to the Constitution of the United States. So it's not even the country or the government but the idea, the founding document.
Is it the current one, or the originalist one, or the supreme court interpretation one, or the cherry picked and misunderstood one, or?
Heritage Foundation: Hold my beer, SCOTUS ASSEMBLE! You know what to do.
SCOTUS: it's legal now.
The military has never had any hesitancy at all in murdering American citizens when told to. They will not stand up.
It isn’t clear under what circumstances Trump would view it justifiable to call in US troops against his own countrymen.
Isn't it though? He would view it justifiable to call them in for literally any reason.
The media, as usual, talks as if they're trying to discern his secret, rational plan. Even when he spouts fascist threats of mass oppression and murder, they discuss him as if he's just another politician with policy proposals. It's unclear under what circumstances he'd call in troops against Americans because he's psychologically chaotic, fragile and highly volatile. Anything could trigger him to do so. The only thing that's consistent is he threatens retribution against immigrants, trans people, Black people, women, and anyone who doesn't worship him enough.
"They brought me a turkeyberder instead of a HAMberder?! Call SEAL Team 6!!"
"I don’t think [immigrants] are the problem in terms of election day,” Trump told Bartiromo. “I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics.”
At that point, he suggested a seemingly sinister solution.
“And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” he said.
“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within. Not even the people who have come in, who are destroying our country.”
He's called Biden a "radical leftist", it's anyone who won't vote for him...
If anyone actually believes Biden is a radical leftist it has to be a combination of a failure of the education system and systemic brainwashing.
And polls continue to call the race a tie.
At some point we have to acknowledge that roughly 30% of our population are just evil, fascist monsters. Having lived in those states, this isn't a surprise.
Some of them are just country bumpkins who vote for whoever their pastor says
Been in their churches, you hear the chorus loud and clear when he talks about 'taking the country back from the powers of satan and other elitists'. He doesn't mean Olympic athletes.
The guy's a nutjob and the fact that his candidacy is still being framed as having any air of legitimacy by the media is fucking disgusting.
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
So say we all.
“I think the bigger problem are the people from within, we have some very bad people, sick people, radical ~~left~~ lunatics."
Yeah Don, we know. They even wear a red hat to help identify themselves.
"dictator day one"
"prosecute my opposition"
"prosecute my critics"
It seems insane to think people are shooting at him because they're listening to democrats (something the MSM largely does not do) and not because people are just listening to the things he's saying he'll do.
For the millionth time all leftists should be armed. Cannot stress enough how important that is.
Oh hey, treason man is yet again announcing publicly that he's a treasonous piece of shit and that he plans to continue committing treason? Wow, what shocking news. /s
So that's how he plans to make the economy better, to force his opposition to leave the country and appropriate their wealth and property. Who did Nazi that coming?
What is a Nazi dictator to do but follow his heart.
This is EXACTLY what the Founders Intended! George Washington LITERALLY said that the US Military should be used on US Citizens and that Children should be Gunned Down in School!
This rhetoric is meant for voter intimidation because they know Republicans always lose when Democrats turn out to vote.
The polls are meaningless because they could be manipulated or manufactured, we don’t know who’s being polled. People just need to cast their vote and not let this be a close election.
Didn't he try to use the military the last time and he was told no? What a psycho.
He's crying.
He's falling apart and going more batshit as his last-ditch attempt to grab power before crashing permanently.
More that he's trying to stay out of jail.
So like, when was the last time someone said they needed to handle the "enemy within"?
Oh wait
I remember this from history class!
Them "stop calling everyone you disagree with a nazi!"
Reasonable people: "then stop suggesting nazi shit?"
This is the collective stupidity of America
It isn't about Turnip making dumb comments like this or suggesting making fascist government
No
It's about how America just sits around and listens to all this stupidity and accepts it all as a regular normal part of the political conversation.
Looks like the U.S. is going to vote in an oppressive dictatorship to own the libs.
Soldiers are not obligated to follow unlawful orders....the brass will say "no".
And this is exactly why I registered as an independent once Trump hit the scene and I still don't feel safe with just that. I'm not some big brain smarty-pants, but I could see this piece of shit going full Nazi from a mile away, not to mention the frothing rage Fox news has kept The Base in with regard to anyone on "the left."
It's kinda sad to know that there really were only 2 people in our entire country who really would have tried to kill Hitler and one was a damn kid.
Man someone should give him the end of his political carrier that Mussolini got. The person who does has my respect for life.
And what should the military do when people storm the capital, Donnie?
He rambled on about immigrants at a rally and said election day will be our Liberation Day. Sounds like mass deportation and mass killing of liberals to me.
