Sen. Elissa Slotkin receives bomb threat after urging military to 'refuse illegal orders'

[Marener]

So what she said was completely pointless and the meaning wasn’t obvious to anyone? If she had just out of the blue said “Hey, make sure you avoid actions that dishonor the service”, people would be looking for context. Yeah, we know that is one of our codes of conduct, but why bring it up now? Same thing here and you know it. The context of her statement was well known.

What’s pointless about reminding military members of their oath?

Yes. The context is that the president is an authoritarian who doesn’t really give a shit what the law says.

Out of the blue with no impetus?

Yes. The context is that the president is an authoritarian who doesn’t really give a shit what the law says.

Ah, now we are getting somewhere. The comment wasn’t out of the blue, it was implying military personnel shouldn’t follow illegal orders, as defined by Democrats and whatever each grunt determines is illegal, because Trump is an authoritarian, also defined as such by Democrats. Sedition, all day every day.

The law defines illegal orders.

Trump shows highly authoritarian traits, such as when they freak out any time someone says he doesn’t have unlimited authority.

You guys think Trump defines what is legal and what isn’t.

The law defines illegal orders.

Yes, and these orders have not been proven illegal.

You guys think Trump defines what is legal and what isn’t.

You think the Democratic Party defines what is legal and what isn’t.

huh? no the Courts say what is the law. What are you talking about?

6 Dembots in Congress don't say what is legal and what isn't.

Illegal orders are illegal from the moment they’re issued.

I think the law says what is legal.

You think it’s illegal for Dems to say “you don’t have to follow illegal orders” because Trump says so.

But that’s clearly protected speech and Trump is trying to threaten and intimidate people to suppress free speech. This is far from the first instance of him doing so.

When is the MAGA Party going to give up its calls for violence?

 

[SweetTea]

You think it’s illegal for Dems to say “you don’t have to follow illegal orders” because Trump says so.

I didn’t say it wasn’t legal for her to say it. I said it was seditious in nature. The intent was to sew discord in the military by implying that there are some illegal orders that are being followed that should not be.

Sedition is illegal, genius.

I don’t think that you want to live in a world where you can just decide that someone’s statement means the exact opposite of what is actually said.

Yes, I edited my initial comment prior to this response for clarification.

You are a lost cause. You are unable to engage in logical, unbiased reasoning.

Name one illegal order Trump issued to the military. Your last sentence is funny yet full of hypocrisy.

 

[Crepitus]

I bet she called that bomb threat in herself. Democrat seditionists are total scumbags.

Don't be stupider than you have to be, kid.

There’s no logic to your reasoning.

When someone says “don’t follow illegal orders” you can’t magically change that to mean “don’t follow legal orders” in your head because you feel like it.

You certainly can’t expect there to be legal consequences for saying something totally consistent with federal law.

‘Michigan State Police responded to a bomb threat at the home of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., a spokesperson from her office said in a statement on Friday. The threat comes after President Donald Trump accused her and other Democratic lawmakers of "seditious behavior" that was "punishable by death."

In a statement posted to X, a spokesperson from Slotkin's office said that the senator "wasn’t home at the time" and that Michigan State Police "searched the property and confirmed that no one was in danger." Slotkin's office and Michigan State Police did not immediately respond to requests for further details on the incident.

The bomb threat comes after Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA, and several other Democratic lawmakers, including those who are former service members, had posted a video this week urging military and intelligence officers to "refuse illegal orders" from the Trump administration.

Trump on Thursday had responded to the video by calling for the arrest of Slotkin and others for “seditious behavior,” which he said was “punishable by death.”’

Sen. Elissa Slotkin receives bomb threat after Trump 'seditious behavior' attack

Trump attacked Slotkin and other Democrats over a video they recorded urging members of the military and the intelligence community to defy illegal orders.

It’s perfectly lawful and appropriate for the military to refuse Trump’s illegal orders.

And Trump represents the violent, lawless right well, calling for the death of his political opponents.

Her own people probably made the threat themselves, or they are making it up.

I’ll assume it’s another Dem Hare Hoax until we see actual proof.

I didn't say that. What I said was that what she said was not arbitrary.

what illegal orders??????

 

[Marener]

Sure. It’s in the context of an administration who doesn’t care about the law.

 

[struth]

Sure. It’s in the context of an administration who doesn’t care about the law.

but they admitted there was no unlawful orders, so you fail again....they admitted the admin is acting within the law

 

[Meister]

Including Slotkin herself

Yeah, no where did I read just how that threat was delivered.
This is right out of the Democrat Corruption book. No trust......sad.
