Watch Democrat Senator Mark Warner suggest that the military could "save us"
from President Trump.
He is openly calling for the military to overthrow the President.

"Uh, um, unprecedented disrespect when they were all brought to get a pep
rally in front of Hegseth and Trump. This is an administration that's fired,
you know, uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense
Intelligence Agency.
(oh... wow... you mean NO other President in the history of Presidents, has
EVER fired someone in any of those positions?)
(cue rich-boy researching fired NSA and Defense Intelligence Agency heads and
whether they served their terms and got out)
And I think, um, uh, in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us
from this President and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their
commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump...
(uhhh... wrongo, homo... their commitment is to the President, you know...
their COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF? They are sworn to UPHOLD, SUPPORT and DEFEND the
constitution... not be "committed" to it, insofar as to police it. THEIR job
is not to uphold the Constitution, or they would have shot President Obama for
violating MANY Constitutional laws)
... and I expect Bradley to adhere to that."
So Senator, let's go a little further on this. What are concerns you have
about the legality of these strikes at all?
=============================================================================
The concern here, is that the military would be taking on a role that is not
within their authority.
In the United States, the military is subject to civilian control, and their
role is to support and defend the Constitution, NOT TO ENFORCE IT DIRECTLY.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibits the military from engaging in
domestic law enforcement activities, except in specific circumstances.
The idea of the military carrying out directives on their own, without proper
oversight and control, raises concerns about:
Militarization of law enforcement: The increasing involvement of the military
in domestic law enforcement activities can lead to a blurring of the lines
between military and civilian roles.
Constitutional implications: The Constitution grants specific powers to
different branches of government, and the military's role is to support and
defend it, not to enforce it directly.
It's essential to ensure that the military operates within their authority and
under the guidance of civilian leaders, to prevent any potential abuses of
power.
The uniformed military has no authority in the matter of upholding the
Constitution because that responsibility lies with other branches of
government, specifically:
The Executive Branch: The President and other executive officials are
responsible for enforcing the laws and upholding the Constitution.
The Legislative Branch: Congress has the authority to make laws and oversee
the executive branch.
The Judicial Branch: The courts have the authority to interpret the
Constitution and make decisions on cases related to its enforcement.
The military's role is to support and defend the Constitution, not to enforce
it directly. This means that they provide a supporting role to the other
branches of government, but they do not have the authority to take direct
action to enforce the Constitution.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 is a federal law that prohibits the military
from engaging in domestic law enforcement activities, except in specific
circumstances. This law ensures that the military does not overstep its
authority and that civilian control over law enforcement is maintained.
If the military were to take on a role that is not within their authority, it
could lead to:
Militarization of law enforcement: The increasing involvement of the military
in domestic law enforcement activities can lead to a blurring of the lines
between military and civilian roles.
Constitutional implications: The Constitution grants specific powers to
different branches of government, and the military's role is to support and
defend it, not to enforce it directly.
To prevent any potential abuses of power, it is essential to ensure that the
military operates within their authority and under the guidance of civilian
leaders.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or
stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were
all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from
reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS.
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be
received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003.
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay -
the very existence of George W. Bush."
