Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

If the US can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants with no regard for human rights, the Geneva Convention, US law, the UCMJ, or international law, then we are no different than Vladimir Putin and Russia, who I suppose was the role model for Trump foreign policy doctrine.

Waiting for KBJ to cite the Grkster fn on preserving the Sony test — for the kill.

Here we are, secrets to reveal
Surely it was porno
That was the art in deal

Two Creepy People
Here we are, in a messy feud
Trading accusations
Fighting dude to dude
Two creepy people insulting all day
We wish that they both would go away.

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

This is as (not) helpful to Jews as “Jews for Jesus.” As J Street commented, rely on the First Amendment — not apparatchiks with agendas. In fact I view this as anti-Semitic.

Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so President Donald Trump said in a Sunday-morning phone call that he was “not joking” about a third term, adding that “it is far too early to think about it.”

Ultimately, this is what those who capitulate to Trump are enabling.

All of the dehumanization, assaults on the rule of law & fundamental rights, draconian policies are in service of this authoritarian power grab. And it’s not going to end well for anyone but Trump. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Never forget.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

When do it explode?
