Second question. If you are Corporal Joe Blow and you are given and order to commit what you perceive as a war crime, what are your legal rights/responsibilities? What can/should/would you do if you are told to blow up that desalination plant?


Start making an honest argument for what a reasonable person would do in the circumstances, and hope your military lawyer can defend you on that basis.

And yet Trump got elected by 77M voters, all the swing states and 312 electoral votes.
It really is painful for you, we all can see that. Bwa ha ha ha


Pshaw...not "painful" at all: "disappointing" is a better word to describe it.

Short of starting WWIII the fat oaf has done and will do nothing that will necessitate major adjustments in my existence, my daily life.

No, it's just that I've been "on to" this bull shitting con man for decades: I thought he was an lying narcissistic piece of shit last century and my opinion has only worsened since then.

Too bad the democrats are as fucked up and clueless as the MAGA folks.

Vote Libertarian !

US war plans are reviewed by military lawyers, in part to determine compliance with US and international laws. In addition, flag-rank commanders will tell the President an order is illegal, but here are the legal options.

Corporal Joe Blow must follow all legal orders, but he has an obligation to refuse to follow manifestly illegal orders. If he thinks an order is illegal, military lawyers are available to him as well the chain of command.

Generally, the real problem is out at field command level on scene real time for low level subordinates. Not from the top down. Trump puts all these people in a bad situation giving very questionable (at the least) ideas of what he wants to do. You have 18 to low 20 year olds who are otherwise taught to do a lot of things without questioning their superiors. They shouldn't be put in such ethical dilemmas by this idiocy.

People may think Bernie or AOC advance the agenda of the far left the most. Actually, it's someone like Trump.

Correct, it's the same for everyone here, but oh the angst over what could happen next with the Trump Administration. Or God forbid, we require ID's to vote. It's a train wreck with the Leftists on here. Tough not to giggle at it. Just take care of your own shit & life is pretty sweet.

It's tax time, so query me this, if you itemize your deductions on your Federal Return, look at your 2025 Form 1040, Schedule A, Line 7. If that amount is more than $10K, you got some actual tax benefit out of the Big Beautiful Bill. Over 65ers got $6,000 additional deduction per taxpayer, if they weren't too rich. $12,000 new deduction for a 70 year old couple living on Social Security and a pension, they saved bigly on this one as reducing the pension income likely also made less of their social security benefits taxable. Waitresses & Uber drivers are now able to exclude $25,000 in tip income, tax on $25,000 is real money for those service providers. Overtime workers get to exclude some of their extra pay for overtime (not the ordinary hourly pay, just the 50% bump). None of these are tax breaks for "the rich". For all of them, if you make too much you get phased out of the benefit.

Putting more dollars in the pockets of those that are eligible for these middle class tax breaks is impacting the daily lives of middle class Americans. But the media will lie about it while being clueless about how their Form 1040 even works. The Big Beautiful Bill was horrible give away to the rich they say. Really??

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to detect an authentic trace of altruistic content in the character of Trump. He’s the guy who will eventually let the whole country burn if it means saving his own hide.

Loyalty is one way. Rules and laws are only obeyed if one can’t do otherwise. No fucking standards I can rely on except everything under the 7 deadly sins.

I wouldn’t trust him with my money. I wouldn’t trust him with anything I value unless there was a gun to his head at the time.

Don’t care what he has to offer.

So apparently the Pentagon summoned the Vatican Ambassador to the US to the Pentagon to tell the Vatican and the Catholic Church to get on board with the Trump administration's military tactics. Reportedly, one Pentagon official reached for a 14th century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy—a period of time when the French monarchy used military force to bend the Bishop of Rome to its wishes. It is further alleged that Pope Leo cancelled a planned trip to the US in response.

I hope the Ambassador told the entire room where they can stick this alleged 14th Century weapon, told them to phuck off and left.

How many more marbles does he have to lose?

Quote:
I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the Number One State Sponsor of Terror, to have a Nuclear Weapon - Because they have one thing in common, Low IQs.

They're stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don't have what it takes, and they never did! They've all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they're NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some "free" and cheap publicity. Now they think they get some "clicks" because they have Third Rate Podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA - Or I wouldn't have won the Presidential Election in a LANDSLIDE. MAGA agrees with me, and just gave CNN a 100% Approval Rating of "TRUMP," not Hand Flailing Fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish College, he was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same - Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist! Or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me the now famous,
"Only Rosie O'Donnell," question, or "Crazy" Candace Owens, who accuses the Highly Respected First Lady of France of being a man, when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit. Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace, in fact, it's not even close! Or Bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things, and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax. These so-called "pundits" are LOSERS, and they always will be! Now Fake News CNN, The Failing New York Times, and all of the other Radical Left "News" Organizations, are "hailing" them, and giving them "positive" press for the first time in their lives. They're not "MAGA," they're losers, just trying to latch on to MAGA. As President, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don't return their calls because I'm too busy on World and Country Affairs and, after a few times, they go "nasty," just like Marjorie "Traitor" Brown, but I no longer care about that stuff, I only care about doing right for our Country. MAGA is about WINNING and STRENGTH in not allowing Iran to have Nuclear Weapons. MAGA is about MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and these people have no idea how to do that, BUT I DO, because THE UNITED STATES IS NOW THE "HOTTEST" COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! President DONALD J. TRUMP
