Pete Hegseth suggests he would disobey court ruling against deploying military in LA

If the Generalissimo Trump had generals and admirals across the armed forces loyal to him they would be in charge and in command now and by now. There's no such thing. If Trump could have "bought off" as it were generals and admirals they'd be in charge and command right now.

They are not because the Generalissimo doesn't have any uniformed supporters at the Pentagon nor are there corrupt generals and admirals he can "buy off" as it were.. He's tried and he's found out he doesn't have any either way.

The majority of liberals need to stop hating and fearing the armed forces that are resisting Trump as is feasible and as is practicable at this time.
 
Right now it's the NG that is central to the vile schemes of Trump-Miller -- which as the Pentagon knows has been the plan all along.

Since May 9th DHS has had a request pending at the Pentagon to provide 20,000 NG troops to DHS for the madhouse mass deportation scheme. Despite Hegseth hounding the Joint Chiefs the DHS request remains "under consideration." In other words the Joint Chiefs are sitting on it because nothing has happened since May 9th to provide the 20K NG troops to the Generalissimo and the Oberkommando.

The JCS in their stalling it know Trump is reluctant to be the one to give the direct order to provide the 20K NG forces for the mass deportation. That Trump HimSelf has not given the order confirms the JCS are right about Trump not wanting to be the culprit perp when the whole thing goes sideways but only if the JCS green light it which they're resisting successfully to date.

Indeed, Trump has no uniformed friends at the Pentagon where the generals and admirals are resisting him on the big stuff. The parade was a Mulligan the Pentagon gave to the Generalissimo so he could get and have something military, meaningless as it was always going to be. The Pentagon made its point with the parade disaster which is good. 5 million Americans throughout the country teaming up with the Pentagon on "No King" day on the day is good too. Very good in fact.

I too love the poorly educated -- in some certain instances anyway.

It is known you can't post to me directly or to argue your nonsense to me directly.

I myself have wondered whether posting the identical "reply" repeatedly was spamming. Apparently not so now I know. It appears to be a simple case of the poster being inadequate and inarticulate and fearful of being dissembled.

It's true anyway a poster can reply to anyone's post to others at will. Take on the poster directly in that way. A special operation kind of approach to posting. Bob up from underwater and strike!

You are assuming that elections will remain free and fair.

At this point, I’m concerned about the 2026 elections. What’s to stop Trump from fabricating an national emergency and suspending all federal elections?

Pete Hegseth suggests he would disobey court ruling against deploying military in LA​

The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, suggested on Wednesday that he would not obey a federal court ruling against the deployments of national guard troops and US marines to Los Angeles, the latest example of the Trump administration’s willingness to ignore judges it disagrees with.

This is sufficient grounds for his immediate removal. Clearly, he is a terrorist.

Good.

I hope the court uses it to make a statement and immediately have Hegseth jailed for contempt. This immunity might exist for the king at present but it doesn’t extend to his minions. A line needs to be drawn we can work from to try and put this “republic” back on a footing we started in 1776: No Kings.

When it comes to policing US citizens with the military… who has that authority?

No one is policing US citizens with the military.

Try posing a question without lying.

Do you think they, individually, know that? The legal aspects of each of his proclamations see-saw back and forth too. And then consider that their loyalty, bias, etc will enter into their decisions.

They are trained to obey, period. It's more up to their officers. And again, TACO has been very clear on how he's handling anything less than 100% loyalty. There will always be some aligned with him...and he'll handpick compliant, loyal officers and he will order them as he chooses. Some may refuse...but not all. This is not a "new" autocrat playbook. He's had 4 years to stew and study and it's obvious he has people supporting and encouraging him.

I think it's very likely that the guard is hesitant to carry out normal police work or more insidious tyranny even if there is a legal basis for it. These aren't brownshirts but regular people put in a bad situation.

There is likely just as much questioning going on on the leadership of the guard as among the individuals.

Or, it's very likely a severe overreaction.
 
I'm not surprised, Trump did not pick Hegseth based on ethics or interest in Constitutionality, he was picked to be a mindless yes-man to whatever Trump wanted to see done.

Trump is well prepared to use the courts when advantageous, ignore the courts when advantageous. Seeing Hegseth hint at the same thing means he is doing what is told of him.

Unfortunately true enough.

For some time now partisans from BOTH sides have placed their tribes above their duty, and their partisan supporters cheered them on for doing so.

That needs to end.

DUTY, honor and Country. There is a reason DUTY comes first. Without DUTY there is no honor. Without honor there is no country worthy of allegiance.

We ALL need to get back to a bit of old school thinking on the subject of DUTY.

Where is the authority for the executive to use the US military to police citizens?

Again, you preface with a lie.

Despite the claims of democrats, Article II does not state that executive powers shift to a dictatorship of the judiciary when a Republican is elected.

{The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;}

I know, your party has rewritten this to make inferior judges the Judiciary commander when a Republican is in office.. But that's just sedition by democrats.

I was one of many who survived each presidency yet I never heard what your post says "we" heard. This is while under Bondi and Trump there will never again be a free and fair election. Meantime I'll continue to welcome reading your posts.

Or it thwarted the plans of the democrats for an all out assault on ICE headquarters. It ended the constant attacks on ICE agents by democrat Brown Shirts of the Insurrection.

The NG isn't involved in policing the daily violence perpetrated by democrats to keep their slaves, that is left to LAPD. But the assault on federal agents is over.

Oh, and for the first time since the 1980's - the democrat Brown Shirt Thugs are being PROSECUTED rather than the usual "catch and release" game that is played at the staged events. That means they won't be available to be bussed in for the next Insurrection event the party has planned - since they'll be in federal prison.

Me too actually. Army troopers marching half heartedly to "Fortunate son" dosen't really look like a force that can be depended upon to overthrow the republic.

That was a put on that worked excellently as your post confirms.

It's common knowledge the Army hated the idea of a Trump B-Day parade. The Army planning that began last year had zero plans for a military parade which is an anathema to the USA armed forces. The Army and the armed forces are all in anyway for our democratic republic. The armed forces support the Constitution which PutinMagasTrump do not. This remains to be decided and settled in favor of the Constitution.

ROFL

Free and fair elections are why the Seditionist democrats lost in 2024. The 2020 election was in the bag - mail in ballots, no signature checks, no address matching. It was perfect. But then 11 states passed election integrity laws and the scheme fell apart.

Well, at least democrats still have sedition and violence - the old standby of the party.

The marines have been deployed.

There has been detainments of US citizens by them.

That should be a bright red line.

You don't seem to be disagreeing with me. I think that parade looks very different if people in the army are on board with Trump's plan to overthrow the republic.
