A screencap. Unlawful orders and defenses to Article 92 and Article 90 According to UCMJ Law Article 92 An order is unlawful if it violates the Constitution, U.S. laws, or military regulations and it directs a service member to commit a crime or unethical act. Service members and their leaders must not disobey a superior officer if the orders they are given are lawful. Service members and their leaders might refuse to follow orders that are unlawful. One exception to Article 90 says a service member is not required to obey an order that violates the law. Every service member takes an oath that includes obeying lawful orders. Service members and leaders take this oath seriously. Specific to UCMJ Article 92 the ambiguity of the issued order can contribute to the defense of someone accused of violating it. If the order or regulation was unclear or could reasonably be interpreted in multiple ways, the accused might not be guilty of attempting to disobey a superior officer . The burden falls on the prosecution to prove that the order was clear, and the accused willfully violated it. What are unlawful orders? An unlawful order is a directive issued by someone in a position of authority that violates the law, a person’s rights, or ethical principles. Following such orders can have legal consequences for both the person giving the order and the one executing it. Here are some examples of unlawful orders: A superior orders a soldier to engage in war crimes, such as: Targeting civilians intentionally. Torturing prisoners of war. Looting or pillaging property. A commanding officer orders personnel to suppress lawful protests in violation of First Amendment rights. Violations of International Laws.

This is from Pew Research Center.

53% of white women voters chose 47 over Biden.

51% of white women voters chose 47 over Harris.

White women seriously have a fetish voting themselves into property.
A chart from the Pew Research center. Votes are split into the last 3 election cycles. Demographics are split into various subgroups...all women, all men, white women, white men, Hispanic, etc. in 2018, white women went 47 to 45% in favor of Clinton. in 2020, white women went 53% to 45% in favor of Trump (vs Biden) in 2024, white women went 51 to 47% in favor to Trump (vs. Harris)

An e-mail. J [jeevacation@gmail.com], Jeffrey Epstein, forwarded an email to Michael Wolff [email redacted] Epstein sent an email to himself and Kathy Ruemmler. (I altered image text/ cleaned it up a lot to be easier to type? and read? and for screen readers?? hope this is OK.) Epstein wrote: it would go something like this. 1. Donald doesn't really own very much. he rents out his name. he puts it on buildings, projects, etc. for a royalty or a piece of the upside. He then claims the asset is "his". it's very much like hyatt hotels. It says Hyatt on the front. But it is owned by someone else. (sometimes by Hyatt but not often.) Hyatt receives 3 percent per year of revenue and a piece of the profits sometimes if the hotel is sold at a profit. money launderers. need a name to purchase trophy properties. why? there is little suspicion if a famous wealthy person buys a property that is likely to show in the press. , it can't be jojo my driver. up front, so they approach wealthy people and tell them for 2 - 5 milion dollars for doing nmothing at all. -just lend us your name. - and the person gets positive press. so and so bought the most expensive painting. sold the most expensive painting, house, diamond, etc. example the GANZ collection was bought and sold by Joe Lewis. all the publicity was the GANZ family estate. selling, etc. hypothetically, someone approached trump and said can you buy the palm beach house. in your name. (it was trump properties LLC), not sure who actually owns the LLC.? Donald can get a loan from a bank, but it guaranteed by, an entity controlled by R R has a bvi co. xitrans. that is owned by a family trust. (cyprus). R wife settles in oct after trump announces candidacy, the LLC agreement or the loan agreement allows Donald to to get a few million for his name. . R in essence is the "owner." . [Continued in next image...] [Continued from previous img] he was part of the panama papers release. he also sold the da vinci to mbs. ? if you are a gangster, where and how can you invest money. answer...not through the front door. Donald's financial disclosures are the same, he represents his "income" as the GROSS receipts of his clubs. " , means nothing at all ZERO. no income as we no it. he lists his "assets", and their VALUE - but not the corresponding loans. against it. so no net number, hence meaningless.

Doing at text for this, too.
A tweet. Scott Dworkin wrote: Language buried in this shutdown "deal" allows 8 GOP Senators who tried to throw a coup, sue to get millions in taxpayer money -- because Jack Smith got their phone records. THEY TRIED TO THROW A COUP. There is no excuse for any Dem supporting this. This is absolutely wrong. Full stop--Period.

A screencap of an article or written statement. Judge Mark Wolf wrote: "In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed me as a federal judge. I was 38 years old. At the time, I looked forward to serving for the rest of my life. However, I resigned Friday, relinquishing that lifetime appointment and giving up the opportunity for public service that I have loved. "My reason is simple: I no longer can bear to be restrained by what judges can say publically or do outside the courtroom. President Donald Trump is using the law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing his friends and donors from investigation, prosecution, and possible punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for in my more than 50 years in the Department of Justice and on the bench. The White House's assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable."
