"For nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us," Biden tweeted.

"Glad to see you finally know what a woman is," Volesky said.

At this point, I think we are getting close to North Korea and Russia in terms of being in trouble for criticizing the “rulers”

Have the Life Magazine with Ted on cover. Right before WW2.

That does not mock Jill.

Did you think there was free speech in the USA? You would be mistaken.

They can be recalled to active duty at any time at the pleasure of the President, but once retired they are retired. Only those at 5 star rank were never retired, they were considered on active duty till they died.

Exception was 4 Star Admiral Ray Spruance who was considered for 5 star rank, his slot was finally given to Admiral Halsey, as compensation he was accorded the same privileges as if he had been made a 5 star admiral.

Halsey was considered for relief of command because of the Typhoon controversies in 1944, and 1945.

Never forget: The same American military that has become infected with such wokeness is the same one that people currently want to throw into another overseas war (but this time against a military peer).

His remark is a very mild bit of sarcasm. The First Lady is not some Queen or Princess.

If you are receiving a military pension, you are not completely retired, especially in Chief Tech/Officer positions. Can be recalled if needed as well as reprimanded/possibly demoted in rank for stuff like this.
“He who has the gold controls the rules” and all that stuff.

No any retired military drawing a pension can be recalled. Happens a lot with higher ranks in enlisted and officer corps due to their experience.

“Generals are never “retired”.”

This is true, and depending who’s in office, determines if there is any repercussions for their statements or not.

MG Swannack who upon retiring called for Rumsfeld to resign.... Nothing came of it.

Those flag officers who trashed President Trump.... Nothing came of it.

This retired general posts a mean tweet about some bimbo and he’s looking at a possible Article 32, and then some..... Freaking crazy.

I’ve heard it stayed that 3, 4-star officers are never really retired and are subject to recall.

“I think public officials have to be more careful than normal people about what they tweet, post, or put on Facebook.”

And rodeo clowns too. Remember the rodeo clown that was - well, clowning around - in the rodeo when Obama was president? As I recall he was suspended from clowning for life for his hijinks. And he was not a U.S. federal clown; he was a private clown.

Let's be serious: if a conservative says something, or looks sideways, in public they are fair game for any liberal hankering to beat someone down.

Within the past couple of weeks I read that eye-rolling was white supremacy. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10949947/Oregon-schoolteachers-claim-eye-rolling-directed-principal-example-white-supremacy.html

“His remark is a very mild bit of sarcasm.”

Reading words on paper makes it hard for me to catch the tone of his comment.

Perhaps he was praising the First Doctor. Certainly her definitive declaration about “women” was brave, courageous, and bold.

If they do this to a retired general, what will they do to the First Son? Perhaps the general should have just praised the First Son.
