Swalwell argued that the Trump administration “told on” itself by going after (Mark) Kelly for his call to resist “illegal orders” and revealed that some service members have been behaving as a “check” on the president.

“What gives me hope, and I talk to service members all the time. They tell me that I don’t appreciate enough and the public doesn’t appreciate enough that while Congress is not a check on the president anymore, and the judiciary at the Supreme Court is hardly a check, military members have told me, ‘We can be a check,’” Swalwell said. …

This isn’t South America. The Constitution gives the military no such role... none.

Let’s talk about people who serve in Congress and vote for unconstitutional laws.

Unconstitutional laws are illegal.

“California gubernatorial candidate and Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell claimed that members of the military are telling him they can be a “check” on President Donald Trump.”
So Swalwell has paid moles in the military?
Is Swalwell heading a coup?

Advancing the color revolution right in our face.

The prior step was telling the military (and the world) it’s OK, nudge nudge, to think of this President as one who can be contravened.

Now they’re setting the narrative that yes, indeed, there is division in the government, people who are ready to act in favor of an overthrow.

Egypt (reversed) and Ukraine are examples of this pattern; Georgia an example of one thwarted in large part by shedding light on foreign (our and EU) NGOs/media/etc. by making them disclose their origin instead of pretending to be grassroots concerned locals.

You don’t think Musk decided just now was a great time to let X users see which profiles originate where just out of random chance, right?

Swalwell is jealous that he’s not part of the Seditious Six. He wants in.
