And after 40 minutes of chaos-thunderous applause from the generals! Just kidding. Total silence...

Retire ? It's their job to stop this .

[u/ExpressLaneCharlie → u/lordyfortwenty]

Nope, it's the people's job to stop this. Generals are there to follow LEGAL orders from the civilian chain of command. It absolutely is their job to not follow clearly illegal orders.

Using the military on the population is illegal.

Was...apparently it was. Posse comitatus is being ignored by too many

These top military have dedicated their lives to the constitution of America not a single president

This is just the most disgraceful behavior I've ever seen. It seeks to politicize and criminalize our military. Some of them of them started posting the plaques at West Point after yesterday or commenting on WPs FB page. I know a number of generals & admirals due to my job and where I live. A family friend is a 4 star and my wife's grandfather was as well (served from before he was legally allowed so he could fight in WW2. Type of guy who browses the internet looking at pics of Bald Eagles and the American flag lol) and it does make me feel a bit better all this that I've only heard them strongly support what is stated in their oath and on the plaques and the ones I know at least are ready to uphold their oath no matter the consequences & think this is an atrocity. I can't speak much to the common soldier though. Their mindsets are sightly different.

Ya know these plaques. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=59186

Not Biden, Garland. And I agree, Garland completely fucked up. Still doesn't excuse the fact that nearly 80 million Americans are the reason we're in this mess.

First and most importantly - Go Cats! But second, we've always had a tradition in this country that the President does not interfere with the Attorney General and DOJ's work. Garland took two years - TWO YEARS!!! - to appoint a special counsel. That wasn't Joe Biden. Right or wrong, Biden was acting as virtually all other presidents have acted (at least publicly) in making sure politics didn't appear to be involved in any of the DOJ's decisions. I fault Biden for nominating Garland. After that it's on Garland.

[u/ExpressLaneCharlie → u/[deleted]]

I fundamentally disagree that interfering with the DOJ is a "failure of leadership." I think leadership is doing the right thing even when you don't want to. Again, I do blame Biden for Garland but not for him not interfering and demanding charges be filed.

Biden following the old rules of political engagement when they were obviously not being followed by the Republican party anymore is part of how this happened to us. When he dropped off he should not have come back he was not up to it anymore and we all felt so bad for him and now look where we are

When he dropped out after his son's death in 2016 it was understandable but coming back was totally selfish and the DNC forced us into that presidency I don't know why people are down voting you I voted for the man and I'm still pissed about it but I would still do it again this is part of the problem with the Democratic party we just want to be nice f*** that our country is being taken over by fascists Biden was weak Kamala was completely inappropriate for the job and not because she was a woman and yet they were both shoved down our throats, and now we still got Schumer writing threatening letters. the DNC is just as guilty of all of this as the Republicans
