I think Trump misunderstood them?
The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:
“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”
That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

There have been 62 murders in DC in the past six months, including two dozen since Trump seized control of the city's policing. I found the names of 21 of the victims, killed since Trump's takeover, he ignores when he tells this lie: www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

The entire world can clearly see that Putin owns Steve Witkoff and yet Witkoff is the one that Trump wants leading the negotiations on a peace deal. If Putin owns Witkoff, and Trump doesn’t care, that means Putin owns Trump - either directly, by proxy, or by stupidity.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.

The president and his special envoy are primarily concerned with finding a way to make Putin happy by providing a sufficient reward for his brutal and sadistic war of aggression. We have become a country that sells out our friends and embraces the worst people on the planet.

Sen Mark Kelly isn’t a far left radical. I wouldn’t even label him progressive. From his record, he’s fairly moderate.
Not the easiest target in politics. We all need to stand up for him or we’re gonna fail this regime’s test.

🚨The Trump administration just WITHDREW a proposed rule to make sure cosmetics products are tested for cancer-causing asbestos.
Does exposing more Americans to asbestos Make America Healthy Again??
I wrote the law that required this testing—this move is dangerous and wrong.

The BBC joins a long list of media companies now obeying in advance. I can't say I'm surprised or at this point even angry. It is a structural flaw in legacy media

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Today’s dismissal of cases against Comey and James is a triumph of the rule of law.
Career prosecutors did their ethical duty, refused to bring vindictive and meritless cases, and paid the price with their jobs.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Well, the case against James Comey was effectively dismissed WITH PREJUDICE because it can't be brought again.
Pam Bondi allowed the statute of limitations to run while her illegitimate prosecutor was wasting everyone's time.
You would think an Assistant Attorney General at DOJ would know this.
