Paul Revere was an alarmist.
Adding, how have you guys not noticed the repeated failure of multiple safeguards in the American system this year?

Yeah, they look great on paper but do not function.

And it would be more convincing if you could point to those oaths being exercised. They are not, and they give no assurance.

Fox News is a propaganda operation that lost nearly $1 billion or lying about the 2020 election. And it's played on military bases all over

No-one should have ANY confidence that people brainwashed by Fox support the American constitutional system. They don't. We know that.

Fox brainwashes people.

Fox News built a wall between Luke O’Neil and his mother, and he’s just one of many families split by its viral ideology

Trump will remove brass that don't bend until he gets what he wants. Many are very invested in their careers and will submit.

Who do we think is murdering people in the Caribbean on Trump's orders now? The military who took these oaths.

The oaths are meaningless with a military brainwashed by Fox.

Thanks. I read your piece. To me it is another case of the theoretical ("look at these oaths on paper") versus the sad reality (politicized and heavily Republican officer corps being purged by Trump).

Many debates come down to this divide. So, it gives me less confidence in the military.

Or, "errors."

Sounds like Pielke needs to kick the Koch habit.

There are a lot of clearcut cases where Trump has acted, or tried to act, contrary to law and the Constitution.

Trump wanted to shoot BLM protesters in the legs in his first term. So it's an example people should consider now. And others, like taking over polling stations or abducting people.

Indeed. Trump is a faithful servant - to Vlad.

This is the thing. We're being asked to pollute our society so billionaires can make gigantic propaganda bots.

maybe "partial release" would be a better framing...

How long before the Republican dictatorship takes down this plaque at West Point?

RESIST!

@facethenation.bsky.social slants very heavily Republican.

Margaret Brennan repeats no Democratic points but repeats Republican talking points with zeal.

Brennan is in disbelief that Democrats want troops to uphold the Constitution.

How long before Republicans tear down this West Point plaque?

He has not been called a Lame Duck enough, really.

People have been normalizing the idea that he will run for a third term. That's unacceptable and we should not accept it in any way.

Severe brain damage. But don't blame the worm.

Shooting other Americans for protesting is not complicated.

Pineapple and pepperoni make for excellent combo toppings, much under-appreciated.

Trump serves Putin Inc, not the USA.

But he deserves a prize. Say, Employee of the Month.
November 23, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Trump to get Putin Inc Employee of the Month Award.

This plaque hangs at West Point. How long before Republicans take it down?

Mutual aid sounds a lot like thoughts and prayers.

Imagine the bribery potential for the Trump Administration to revoke tax-exempt status for groups that oppose powerful businesses!

On the environmental side, alone, they have motivation to bribe Trumpsters to demolish Sierra Club, NRDC, etc.

We know that Trump wants his cut.
