Does anybody really pay attention anymore?

My BIL's wife is a Jewish princess from NY and a retired public school teacher. She does.

Obama was the one who acted like he was king. If the Democrats had kept the House and Senate there’s a good chance they would’ve passed a bill trying to make Obama president for life, and the NYT would’ve supported it.

What does it matter? They are probably all registered R for cover. I can’t tell you how often I hear “Mueller is a Republican” or how many times I hear “Republican Strategist Navarro....” or “Republican Leader John McCain”

Mr. Bob434, this is the New Your Times (by proxy) advocating for our military and intelligence community to willfully IGNORE and REFUSE the constitutional legal commands of the Executive Branch/POTUS of the United States of America.

That sir is Treason!! NOW Posted and promoted by the largest and most well know U.S. newspaper in the world!

What part of ‘where we are’ do you not see?

For you to downplay this treasonous ‘shot across the bow’ is playing into the very hands of those who will press their considerable power to undermine the sovereignty of the United States.

True..... but he is a powerful president intent on the destruction of the progressive vise like grip on America.

The governor of New York proved that the progressives and their lapdog presstitutes are in fact enemies of America.

We do not neet to co exist or to get along. Progressiveism must be erridicated in total

WOW did you misread my post! I was commenting on the typical ‘hair on fire’ alarmism by the msm as They breathlessly declare we are on the verge of collapse in this country because trump is president- nothing could be further from the truth!

So rest easy sir- I wasn’t downplaying anything- I was merely pointing out how the left are constantly running around screaming about how trump is causing the sky to fall

Once one realizes that ‘Trump’s election ended the careers and relevance of a host of people ‘...who thought they would be rewarded by Hillary the silly public brokenness one sees daily makes sense.

These people ‘are’ still devastated that they have sold their souls and all for nothing now.... This is who is doing the dividing and creating much of the chaos. They are pawns for the Elites and willingly so because their souls are no longer needed!

I would hope that Brennan has not used any classified info in his attacks on President Trump. Cancelling his security clearance will assure us he has no access to more classified info.

If you are a former government employee who has a security clearance, the clearance should end with your employment. Period.

The Deep State, which doesn’t exist according the the NYT (”There is no deep state in America...”), is alive and well and doing everything it can to bring down President Trump. It’s just common sense that the Deep State’s security clearances should be cancelled.

Trump is not even remotely acting like a despot (which is what this king meme is all about) in fact you wonder why he keeps sleepy Jeff in place and does as little to rock the boat as he has, given the need for change, but I trust his judgement and await eventual progress. But these liberal rants are not just pathetic, they are laughable. They didn’t even notice the reign of King Barack I. Talk about selective blindness.

Dear Weiner,

Read the middle column. It spells it all out:

Also, many of us took the following oath:

Our oath compels us to obey the president unless it is an illegal order. YOU don't get to decide that. We do.

Mind yourself!

Right you are. The truth is coming drip by drop and even the slowest dimwits are eventually going to have to face the truth. Truth will prevail!

Yes. I have been very negative about most posts predicting a civil war, pointing out that the last one happened because of a break in the chain of command - NOT slavery, NOT tariffs, NOT bloodymindedness, but because orders could not flow from the Commander in Chief through the Secretary of War to the Commanding General of the United States Army.

Without that, you could have had a bloody rebellion, but not a war.

Advocacy for commissioned officers to disobey lawful authority is sedition. Facilitating them doing so is treason.

Think about what sort of man could get a third or fourth star from Obama, or Clinton - or Bush 43, for that matter.

Globalists all, without a doubt.

Once division commanders don't know whose orders to follow, or the transmission of lawful orders to them is obstructed - THEN you can have armies in the field and a real CW II.

Trump is not acting “like a King”. He is operating well withing his designated powers as Presdient.

Only infantile hysteric hyper partisan morons would think THIS article is worth either reading or publishing

A group of top former intelligence and military leaders are sending a message to the nation’s troops and spies...

What an odd way to put that. "Troops and spies". Think about that for a minute.

This is the Deep State revealing itself and too blind or stupid to realize that people do notice that sort of thing. "Former" leaders are just that, and used to be a little more professional and circumspect about that status. Former leaders who start giving rudder orders to undermine the present ones are criminals.

Dream about a military coip all you want, it ain’t gonna happen.

Our military LOVES their Commander in Chief and (to paraphrase Alan West) they would march into Hell carry gasoline cans if he asked them.

I’ve often wondered, in fact, if the President has ever considered using military resources to conduct a mass roundup of swamp rats. They would do so at his command, with enthusiasm.

“Think twice before following this man’s orders in a crisis.”

That’s actually good advise in most situations. I’ve had lots of bosses who couldn’t find their own butts with both hands and a full-length mirror.

However, this is getting pretty close to sedition.
