See, on paper you could ask that theoretical question. But the reality that many just chose to ignore is that in this country right now there are only two doors. That’s it. And if you try to go through hypothetical door 3, you’re really just helping one of the first two, usually the worse of them.

Of course Trump doesn't want to kill people.

He wants others to do it for him.

Incidentally, Canada's "stagnant" standard of living is still WAAAAY ahead of the United States'.

I literally was almost fired two weeks into this job for refusing to do something due safety concerns. When I filed a claim with Sedgwick, I was basically told that they won't bother unless I can actually prove the decision has killed somebody.

It's Walgreens, and they DGAF. They only care about numbers/money. They have people off the street with GEDs filling RX here. Our ethics hotline is through Sedgwick, and they DGAF either.

Is it when the president authorizes the US military be deployed for law enforcement purposes?

The ethics hotline is useless, basically is an extension of corporate. If we call in we're basically told "do what they tell you, or be written up for insubordination." What happens when the entire structures built around us for our protection turn out to be predicated on people not being desperate?

Actually, that happens, a lot. As a pharmtech, we are often told "just do it, or be written up for insubordination" which is an instant termination. Most of us suspect we're hurting our patients, but we're scared and don't want to be fired.

Told to do terrible shit they know not to do, AND then apparently told by the ethics hotline to do it anyway.

But does the UCMJ identify WHO has the authority to permit law enforcement activities? If the president authorizes it with "shoot on sight" permissions, does it really matter if they're not supposed to target or intentionally harm civilians? The wording here is vague and contradictory.

Part of what allows dictators to take over countries is they let the military off the leash. When do we accept the reality that most of the military genuinely likes Trump MORE than they care about the US Constitution? If they fired on 'Nam protestors in 1970 with impunity, they will do so again now.

Also how do we know the lowest-ranked enlisted will not simply shoot anyway when given the order for no other reason than because they like Trump? We have to consider the very real likelihood that they will recognize an illegal order and choose to follow it anyway.

I once managed a new computer dept in a hospital Way Way Back. A data entry clerk in Admissions put in the Religion field: "Ass of God" as the abbreviation for Assembly of God.

Good morning everyone, despite the wintry weather, there’s still some pockets of autumnal colour left.
Have a lovely Thursday.

Manson did the exact same thing, and ended up in prison with a life sentence for it.

IDK how Trump gets away with it.

In a normal world, every single one of these commenters would be on a watchlist and have their firearms confiscated.

But instead the FBI is watching people who are, "anti-christian, anti-capitalist and anti-Trump."

Kinda wondering if the only reason Trump signed that bill was because his cabinet (who enjoy power more than they like Trump) threatened to 25th Amendment him if he didn't.

I'm pretty sure he didn't know what it was until his lawyers had to explain it to him after he committed sedition.

Ah yes, the man who led a war against a king to found a constitutional republic would certainly side with...

*checks notes*

The guy who wants to be a king and regularly ignores the constitution.
