Itβs astounding that he is so offended by being reminded that we are a nation of laws, not men, and that our Oath is to the Constitution, not any man.

A question for discussion β especially for vets:
If you were ordered to stop a ship in the Caribbean believed to be carrying drugs, board it, and execute its crew β purely as a hypothetical raised by recent DoD interdiction videos β would you follow that order?
What would guide your decision?
Great article.
Iβve explained to a few people that Trump has, in fact, done/suggested doing illegal things. Thanks to the Supreme Court, Trumpists wrongly believe that if Trump does it it cannot be illegal.
First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

Heck, he admitted it.
And his behavior is another glaring admission.
During an unusual evidentiary hearing Monday at the Leighton Criminal Court Building, former Guantanamo detainee Mohamedou Ould Slahi accused a retired CPD detective of orchestrating a horrific program of torture.
