Military Component of Trump Coup Attempt

[Todd.K]

The rules are for thee (Mattis and McRaven) and not for me (Trump).

Exactly. Serving comes with responsibilities bigger than yourself.

Politicians have and always will lie, cheat, and make unfair personal attacks for political gain.

I was taught in basic how important public trust in the military was. Stuff like not showing political bias and respect for the elected civilian commander.

Now I'm curious as to whether or not you were one of those people who thought that Bill Clinton should have been impeached for adultery, because he was C-in-C of the US military and should therefore be held to the same standards (morally and legally).

Lemme just drop one little bomb from the "Remember When" file...




Re UCMJ maybe not, but I would definitely argue that to be eligible for any office that could push the Big Red Button one should be subject to the same Personnel Reliability Program requirements as the bomber crews and the key-turners in the LCC's who they'd be ordering to let the nukes fly.

I'm all for getting dirty and f*****g over the next Dem POTUS at every turn, telling the 51% of the country that their vote doesn't count because I don't like it, lying like a rug, making shit up to get warrants, imprisoning their subordinates to milk dirt on them. Turnabout is fair play so I say get as un-American as possible the next time a Dem POS sits in the Oval Office. They have it coming. I support that COMPLETELY. However, I'll at least have a modicum of integrity and quietly admit it is shady and dirty, even un-American, but payback is a bitch.

I disagree. We need to be the shining beacon on the hill for people to look to for righteous ideas and liberty. We need to embody the change we wish to see. Most of the left today really think they are doing the “good” thing, through a steady dose of propaganda. But many will see that strictly ONE SIDE is acting out and being terrible people: their own side.

We cannot actually become the demons they believe we are. We have to be kind to them, reach out to them. They will come around eventually. Cognitive dissonance can only last so long.

Defend yourselves if you must, otherwise, set a good example for our culture.

I ended up opposed to the Clinton impeachment, the crime that could be proven just wasn't serious enough to overturn the election.

Only an idiot thinks the UCMJ applies to the President.

You can't be serious. Is there a special rainbow spot you get to park your unicorn in at work? Thinking like that (and it isn't just you, it's too many on "our" side) is why we will perpetually be sucking hind teat with the Libtards.

We will not agree on this I assure you. To each his own.

Now now, you know he was impeached for perjury, not adultery. He perjured himself as a sitting POTUS in a civil case to save his own ass (we've all seen the tape, don't deny it). He WAS guilty of perjury, but the Senate didn't see fit to convict and probably remove him from office. If he hadn't perjured himself the adultery wouldn't have cut it impeachment-wise (who could blame him if you were married to his wife!).

That is only half right.. he not only perjured himself, he got someone else to perjure themselves- in a sexual harassment case...

Amazing how successful the left has been at rewriting history, and changing the entire narrative around historic events. I've run into people who will swear up and down that Palin said she could see Russia from her house despite being a SNL skit joke.

Just really sad people tune into the MSM for news anymore. Or watch any type of 'modern' big network TV shows. Its all just far leftist propaganda at this point and you'll be better off studying something useful or go see what your family is doing.
