Trump issues warning to opponents - GMDino - 03-14-2019 https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/03/13/exclusive-president-donald-trump-paul-ryan-blocked-subpoenas-of-democrats/ Quote:President Donald Trump is not happy that former House Speaker Paul Ryan blocked subpoenas of people and entities Trump thinks the House GOP should have been investigating during the first two years of his administration.[url=https://twitter.com/SpeakerRyan/status/1105848213284814848] ![]() Quote:“You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump – I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad. Spoken like the coward wannabe tough guy he is. RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - Yojimbo - 03-15-2019 This is literally what dictators do and is disgusting. Any military personnel that agrees with this despot is a disgrace to the uniform. We do NOT swear to serve the President, we swear to uphold and protect the Constituion and the people of the United States. RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - Benton - 03-15-2019 Not too far off from what the right has been claiming for a while: that the left is full of weak snowflakes who get offended by anything but are incredibly violent and will harm you... Except that they're too passive... Unless they're not. Socialism. RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - michaelsean - 03-15-2019 So does Ryan blocking the subpoenas make the Republicans the party of “no” still?

Maybe he just couldn't stop himself after all those years of telling a Democrat POTUS that he couldn't get anything at all?

When did agreeing with the President become akin to serving the President?

People in positions of authority with power and weapons and bikers. ![]() But I'm sure he just means he want;s them to campaign tougher. ![]() RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - Yojimbo - 03-15-2019 (03-15-2019, 09:05 AM)michaelsean Wrote: I'm not sure what this means.

It means the military should not follow unlawful orders of violence against the Presidents political opponents, as Trump is suggesting they would do. RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - Nately120 - 03-15-2019 I always dreamed we'd get a president who would threaten us with our own police, military, and um...bikers just for good measure.

He is not threatening real Americans. Just "leftists." Time for the military and police to step up and end these investigations into the Trump organization. Why is Hillary still free?

I'll think twice when I go to cast my vote in 2020. The military, the police, and practically everyone who owns a gun is going to be mad at me if I don't vote Trump.

Same reason abortion is still legal, there's no wall, healthcareo costsare still going up and jobs are still stagnant: if you fix things, there's little to run on. And that goes for both sides. Dems had a majority under Obama and a chance to fix healthcare. They pandered to lobbyists. The republicans had one more recently. They pandered to lobbyists RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - jj22 - 03-15-2019 There will be those who have no problem with Trump thinking he can use the military and police to attack his opponents and anyone who disagrees with him on his behalf. It's a disgrace yes, but it's the America we live in and voters have spoken. This is what they want.

I hear ya. But it's one thing for Trump to warn people that illegals or terrorists will harm them if he doesn't get his way, but citing American citizens, particularly those sworn to protect us, as potential threats is a new political low.

I wonder why it has that part about obeying the orders of the President of the United States... A Soldier is free to disagree with his/her Commander in Chief The first Tuesday in November every 4 years. Soldiers protect democracy; they don't always get to employ it.

But bottom line: A soldier does swear to serve POTUS. RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - SunsetBengal - 03-15-2019 Hmm, wasn't the highlighted part of the OP actually quoted from a campaign rally speech? RE: Trump issues warning to opponents - Yojimbo - 03-15-2019 (03-15-2019, 08:34 PM)bfine32 Wrote: I missed that part of the oath. The right to refuse unlawful orders is in the Manual for Courts Martial. In the oath we swear to obey the orders of the President, not the same as serving. We serve the people because we are the people’s military, not the President’s. The MCM protects the right to disobey an unlawful order. That rules stems from the defense of “I was only following orders”. Pretty sure ordering politically motivated attacks falls under that. |
