Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

It has now been confirmed that the US invaders that crossed into Mexico to illegally place DOD signs on Mexican territory were US military contractors (possibly Marines disguised as civilians), the US has yet to issue an apology but admits to the action calling it a "mistake."

What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. There’s no vote required if he wants to release them!
The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.

If he has nothing to hide he doesn’t need a House vote. He can just release everything.

New: A site licensing Trump's name is selling merch with the presidential seal — including a $20 beer-pong set with “Presidential themed balls.”

I am growing tired of media reports that focus on a criminal being undocumented.
If those same outlets would start using the term “white guy” would people become alarmed at the rise in Caucasian crime?
