What happened to my country? I don't recognize it anymore. My ancestors fought and died in the American Revolution against a tyrannical king. We are battling a wannabe. I want a president who cares more about We the People than a parade for himself; stop with the lies and the guise of the Army's anniversary- you tried this in your first term and lost. How have his supporters NOT figured this out- he wants to be on Mount Rushmore, he wants a parade, he wants a NOBEL prize, he wants to be richer. He talked about making people rich- he meant himself, his family and cronies, and not regular Americans. THIS IS ALL ABOUT HIM! Boss Baby can't help himself because he has the mentality of a 2-year old- ME! ME! ME! Waaahhh. We need a grown-up in the White House to lead and not destroy our country.
PS- Just a suggestion… would be good to hear an interview with a reputable, experienced, objective and knowledgable military person to get a finer focus on what an illegal order is, how to deal with one. Shine a light on it. Thx - good discussion.
New to Substack. Been trying to post a response. Don’t think it’s gone through. Re:our troops - Yes, they have to follow orders, but the orders must be LEGAL. Our troops have a DUTY through their oaths to uphold the Constitution. They have a responsibility to NOT follow an illegal order. There is no waffling here. It’s clear. This is really true for all of us, oaths or no oaths, if we want to save and sustain our country, but especially true for our military in this case.
We’re all going to have to face this sooner or later. We’re going to have to stand up for our country. This does not mean we need to be violent. Violence plays right into Trump’s and fascists’ hands. That’s what they want, to sow division, so keep it peaceful.
Trump is an absolute lunatic. He's evil, vile and clearly demented. He needs to go now!
Trump is clearly insane and doesn't even understand the law.

Trump wants to kill our Democracy. He wants to be a Dictator. He told us that.
Who in our government can or will control this president and enforce our constitution?
Is this yet another distraction from the Trump administration in an effort to keep other events out of the headlines?

This was so informative!!! Thank you! In addition it's very disturbing. Thanks to the ACLU and how they protect our citizens.
Thank you so much, Ladies!
It's outrageous. Basically, we're all immigrants or children of immigrants.
I think they can because they want to do the right thing.
So true, Hina!
The only insurrectionists were Trump and his thugs on January 6.
Thank you, Katie and Hina, for explaining all of this!
Is Trump going to use his military birthday parade to intimidate and frighten the population by demonstrating his control of the military?
