Political Hippo Circle Jerk - America, farg YEAH!

obviously the alt-lefts fault

So American military personnel aren't first and foremost AMERICANS?

Enlighten me.

To start with, roughly 20,000 men and women serving in the US military are not US citizens.  So there's that.

Second (and I know I've mentored this multiple times over the years), it is strictly forbidden under military law for any serviceman/woman to publicly dissent or oppose pretty much any action by the fed govt. Aside from being POTUS, Agent Orange is also the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces...which is actually part of the military chain of command. 

Third, when people enlist or are commissioned as officers in the military, they literally forfeit a few bits and pieces of their rights and freedoms, of which includes some restrictions on free speech and participation in the political process. Article 88 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice expressly prohibits this.

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Lastly, I know this might melt your snowflake brain, but maybe you aren't the most qualified individual to be speaking up on the inner workings of a military force.

Like Dio said, the military's job is to do what they're told.  Calling bullshtein on it is up to everyone else.

That's for third world countries, banana republics, and losing armies.

Thankfully the Generals didn't name Trump directly, but I can understand their need to ensure their soldiers don't think it's cool to be racists

[ice grillin you]

just for claritys sake and to accurately explain the trash that was in charlottesville...."racists" doesnt come close to properly labeling them...donald sterling was racist....these people literally want all non white and all jewish people eradicated from the earth

[Tomahawk]

Radical Racists?

Extremeskins actually owns the copyright on that.

Interesting rumor making the twitter rounds...

Pence is calling short his international trip, and some are saying it's a precursor to the 25th Amendment being cited to remove Trump.

Probably nothing, but at this point?

[ice grillin you]

Pro-Trump Rally Set to Clash with Juggalo March in Washington, D.C. in September

Also scheduled to storm the National Mall that day is the Juggalo March, a collective of I.C.P. fans seeking equal treatment, which we first reported on here last summer. The Juggalo March "aims to bring national attention to the ongoing discrimination and profiling that Juggalos continue to be subjected to following the group's inclusion in the U.S. Department of Justice's 2011 National Gang Task Force report."

Letter from former CIA Director John Brennan to CNN Anchor Wolf Blitzer:

"Wolf:
Just watched your interview with Senator Blumenthal when you mentioned that you lost all four of your grandparents to the unspeakable evil of Nazism. I just want to extend my sympathies not only for their deaths but also to you and your family--and countless others--for the pain inflicted today by the despicable words of Donald Trump. Mr. Trump's words, and the beliefs they reflect, are a national disgrace, and all Americans of conscience need to repudiate his ugly and dangerous comments. If allowed to continue along this senseless path, Mr. Trump will do lasting harm to American society and to our standing in the world. By his words and his actions, Mr. Trump is putting our national security and our collective futures at grave risk.
John Brennan"

Juggalos and neo-nazis all in close proximity?


Perfect opportunity for a selective tactical nuke strike.

Good...while they're paying attention, how can you watch that video and not call the KKK a terrorist organization. He was making overt threats to kill citizens.
