I'm saying the wording doesn't change what I said.
Who said anything about boats? If you are a member of the Army, for example, and your commanding officer orders you to shoot a handcuffed American citizen in the head, you are allowed to refuse that order and litigate it later. Reminding people of the law doesn’t mean that those people are currently breaking the law. If you tell your kids, “don’t do drugs”, it doesn’t mean that your kids are currently on drugs. It is just wise advice in case they are in a position in the future in which they are offered illegal narcotics. The fact that Trump and Republicans are outraged about the notion that soldiers don’t have to follow illegal orders is telling on them.
Right, like I said earlier there are obvious situations where a member of the military would know an order shouldn't be followed. The 6 Democrats, while technically correct, were pretty obviously trying to undermine the President with an inflammatory comment to make us believe that the President was already giving illegal/unconstitutional orders.
So what?
Since you apparently have no idea of how military units operate, why dont you sit this one out?
Yes, if everyone was perfectly comfortable with the legality of the administration's orders, the video wouldn't have been necessary. But everyone is not perfectly comfortable. Including legal scholars. And allies. The UK stopped sharing intelligence with the US about activity in the Caribbean because of concerns about the legality of strikes.
Republican response to saying "don't break the law" to the military underscores that they understand how very likely it is or will be that Trump gives unlawful orders to the military.
Yeah. The idea that restating the UCMJ and saying "No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution" is "obviously trying to undermine the President" speaks volumes about the person holding that idea and the President.

Believe = opinion
Believe-sincerity
Unless you believe that it's all just coincidence, the fact that only Dems made this statement along with the timing of the statement seems to clearly imply that Trump is giving illegal/unconstitutional orders and the military are following illegal/unconstitutional orders.
Also you don't address why saying "follow the law" is inflammatory and undermining the President. I have a hard time thinking of something less objectionable.
The orange piece of crap doesn't deserve any slack considering how he reviles everybody who is not kissing his ass or paying him money. He almost certainly is violating the Constitution even without a smoking gun. Anything said to warn the American people just how low and slimy Trump is deserves praise, not blame. You know that he's using all this for his own benefit. You could claim that it's not malicious and it might even be true. They are just cyphers to him , no more to be considered than the diaper he just took off and discarded. Did you notice that I haven't the least qualm about about Trump being portrayed as representing the nadir of our political leadership?
As has been pointed out on other threads, many of the worst “nut jobs” on Twitter/X are in fact international bad actors (US enemies) controlled bot farms that exist for the purpose of sowing discord and hatred on both sides. Unfortunately they have been successful beyond all of their expectations, to the demise of us all in the US.
Please. There are wing nuts on here. I'm guessing we have less than 100 fairly active users. Russia isn't wasting their time with us.
