Does The Military Have Authority to Annihilate A President In Life Threatening Situations?

[rampart]

NewsVine_Mariyam That's ridiculous as Trump would never call for martial law.

you are kidding? right?

This is what I came up with when I was living in constant fear after having survived a major earthquake as well as other challenges in my life sense:

1. The reason for the fear felt is the feeling that you have no control over what's going to happen, which is true, but subsequently makes you feel vulnerable.
2. Worrying, panicking, being miserable over something that has not yet happened and MAY NEVER HAPPEN, is pointless, so STOP.
3. Think of the worse case and best case scenarios, then make a plan to handle anything that is causing your worry. Think everything through now, BEFORE you have to deal with any of it. You'll be able to think more clearly and come up with better solutions if you do the work and planning now while you're not actually in the situation you that's stressing you out and that you fear.

If it's something that you need more information on or are not very knowledgeable of, do some research. For me, taking any steps in the direction of becoming more informed so that I can take action, even if it's just baby steps at least allows my body to relax and fall asleep, if thinking about these things are keeping me awake.

I hope this helps but I also think you have a bit less to worry about than you may fear. And lastly, at least we don't have a hurricane bearing down on us at the moment...

this is the sanest post of the thread.

He is not "kidding". He is trolling in bad faith.

Leftists have this Soviet-style fantasy about using the American military on Americans. That's because they don't know much about military members.

If ordered to fire upon fellow Americans, the enlisted troops will shoot their officers.

Road Runner is a leftist?

Can't happen.

Recall that Trump wanted to use the military against US Citizens. He was rebuffed.

Joe said he would use fighter jets and missiles against the Deplorables. He was championed.

Why do you even post?

No. But in theory, they could refuse to obey her if she gave an unconstitutional order that was wholly unlawful.

They take an oath which requires them to refuse any order which violates the Constitution.

There was a ban on assault weapons for nearly 10 years and no tyrants arose because of the ban.

I don’t think a ban would get anywhere in Congress and is DOA.

It wouldn't stand a Constitutional challenge.

 

[daveman]

What if they fill the military with foreign troops?

That's certainly a possibility.

I've always been supporting of foreigners joining the US military and getting fast-tracked to citizenship. But under a Harris admin, given the huge number of terrorists that have been deliberately set loose in America already, I would have a lot of concern about foreigners enlisting.

No. She is a sane, rational human being.

They take an oath which requires them to refuse any order which violates the Constitution.

The Oath of Enlistment (for enlisted):

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
The Oath of Office (for officers):

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

I've been seeing guys in uniform wearing turbans and beards for over 5 years at Ft Campbell KY.
These are US soldiers looking like Pakistanis.

When and where did he ever say that?

I would much rather play tag with a grizzly bear than be a leftist.

I think it was right before I retired from the Air Force they relaxed appearance standards to allow for turbans and beards. I'm okay with that.

You'll have to go read up.

Search for his Pentagon Chief.

Why? Why can't you just post the link to it?

Trump and reps had DC under full control for 2 years and did nothing material to turn America around. The reps could have done all sorts of great things - changing the asylum laws being number one. But they did squat. Just lowered taxes for the rich and tried to legalize silencers and failed.

It takes 60 votes to pass anything in the Senate. Reps never had that.

You get one bill per year that you can pass under reconciliation (simple majority), it has to have budgetary impact.

They used that for tax reforms (which were more beneficial for the lower quintiles and small businesses than the upper ones).

Because i don't feed the sealions.

This is basic information that a pom pom waving Trump fan such as yourself should already possess. No doubt you defended this illegal and immoral behavior by Trump, at the time.

Obviously I'm talking about if Kamala Harris becomes president and she sends the government after us to take us into concentration camps or the threat of illegal immigrants raping us and murdering us or something along those lines. I just never thought to ask but I'm curious now.

Your masters do this deliberately.

You know, how they terrify the weak-minded and emotional crowd, the Trump cult, into pants-crapping hysteria.

They know that keeping you hysterical keeps you obedient. So very, very obedient.

No, they don't appreciate your service. They're laughing at you for being such a Useful Idiot.

Correct.

Nobody thinks less of the GOP voters than the GOP does.

If only they could see it.

That's another thing that could be highly dangerous. Kamala Harris turning the military against us. I'm really hoping and praying that Trump wins the election but all of this is really starting to scare me.

Not to mention the possibility of World War III and the chance of it going nuclear.
