Bikers for Trump Planning to “Retake” Seattle Autonomous Zone For America


Quote:
“On July 4th, Independence Day,a coalition of patriot groups and all who want to join are going to retake the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone for America. antifa members are illegally occupying public property and terrorizing small businesses in the neighborhood. American patriots have agreed to come together again, remove the barricades illegally obstructing traffic, and free the people in the zone.”

There is something you don't see enough of. People who know what America is and ready to make sure it stays that way. The sleeping giant is almost awake, and will be bright eyed and bushy tailed in November.

No matter what the polls, the crap the media beats into the ground, and predictions of a Democratic victory by every useful idiot, Trump will win convincingly.

ANTIFA may have met their match.

They do not matter to anyone over here that has any power. Something wrong here. These people were not career criminals like George Floyd.

Experts Say Retired Military Officers Who Denounced Trump Could Be Prosecuted


Quote:
10 U.S. Code § 888 – Art. 88. Contempt toward officials

Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Guilty bastards.

@coldjoint,
So much for the first amendment. So military personnel are banned for life from ever saying anything ill about the prez? The UCMJ says they can sing his magnificence and wisdom <cynical>to the heavens, but they can't say anything negative? Just another of Trump's attempts tok muzzle and terminate anybody who disagrees with anything he says, however minor that disagreement. And I hear nothing contemptuous in their dissents. Deep disagreement but not contempt, so it doesn't even apply.

Despite the fact these retired officers could be recalled and prosecuted, the chances of that happening are very, very small.


That's because this is subject to interpretation of 1st Amendment rights. Then, they would have to be recalled to active duty for a court martial. Age limits, length of service and rank all factor into a decision to recall.

After that, then there's this:

The argument against holding retirees to the UCMJ

Vladeck wrote in a Feb. 12 Lawfare article that “until recently, lower courts had routinely upheld the military’s power to try those retired service members who continue to receive pay from the government, reasoning that such a salary renders the retiree a continuing member of the ‘land and naval forces,’" and one who could be recalled to active duty in time of war.

Larrabee’s petition argued that considering a retired service member a continuing member of the military is “anachronistic.”

“He receives pay in the form of his military pension, but he holds no active rank; he has no commanding officer or subordinates; he lacks the authority to issue binding orders; he has no obligation to follow orders; he performs no duties; and he participates in no regular military activities,” Larrabee’s petition reads.

Even in a national emergency, only a small percentage of retired service members could be realistically recalled to active duty, Vladeck said. Since the Vietnam War, the reserve component has been the Defense Department’s reservoir to assist active-duty troops.

“And with respect to reservists, unlike retired service members, Congress has authorized military trials only for offenses committed while on active-duty or inactive-duty training,” Vladeck said.

You worked in the government, or at least your alter ego did. No one is going prosecute these old hacks.

@coldjoint,
It would be ghastly to call George Floyd a career criminal. He didn't kill anyone when he was still alive. Yes, he barged into a pregnant woman's abode and held a gun against her stomach, according to some articles featuring his life. Yet he didn't kill nor rape this woman. He could have done it just like some brutes who are not even black.

Moreover, George Floyd was contrite; he started attending church service after being released. He also found a job and did his best to help other people, say, he taught some kids how to play hoops. Sadly speaking, he lost the job after the owner of that club decided to shut it down, thanks to Covid-19 and your idol Trump's callous response to this global crisis-he called it a hoax at the outset.

One would be hard-pressed to describe this; some Indian folk would call it karma. It would have been a different life for George Floyd if he had been born white. The thinking goes, you wouldn't be talking to us here if you were a pauper living in North Korea, where only North Korea's elite and wealthy folk who do business with China are allowed to visit the internet. Which is to say that you are a lucky man compared with them.

Please show some mercy. It would be decidedly invidious to tell a criminal that you were born bad. That's not true. Some criminals grew up in poor families and had to scrabble around to find something to eat and even fight for the chance to stay alive. You just can't understand this since you have never had a chance to go through this; it's purgatory for most poor people.

Well, I think we guys all have done something wrong in the past. Didn't I tell you I have seen blue movies? Worst yet, I once purloined several books from a bookstore tucked away in a grove of trees. It sells old or even mangy books; local residents hardly buy books from this bookstore for this reason.

I remember clomping down the stairs and slinking away like a rat. You know why no one dashed over to bust me? Because the effusive female clerks were talking to each other with loud voices; another young girl happened to be sleeping.

The stolen books in question cost little money-less than five dollars, I think. Is my face red? Yeah. I feel guilty about this. That's why I have never set foot in that store again.

BTW, I still remember that one of the books is a novel written by Nora Roberts; it even has a scene in which some white racists hunt down a black girl and even try to rape her, after which she is saved by a man who's debonair. It has some torrid scenes to boot.

Anyway, I'm a book thief. Markus Zusak, who's a writer from Australia, even wrote a novel entitled Book Thief. Maybe I should share this story with him and divvy up sales of his next novel featuring this story.

The title of the novel could be When Beautiful Conservative Girls Are Asleep.

I bet Trump will buy it with this title.

No, it would be the truth.

I can't call out all your lies. Don't have time. This a typical hypocritical response from you. Complete with "what ifs" that have nothing to do with the facts.

@neptuneblue,
Although I haven't been reading all of CJ fantasy viewpoints on suppression of the population, I think it's safe to say he/she knows zip, zilch, nada, bupkis, zero about the military, military code of conduct or the code of honor.

That shouldn't surprise anyone....even if your closest association with the military was reading Beetle Bailey comic strips.

@coldjoint,
Well, you do have enough fortitude to know this never will be an issue. It's not sedition and therefore not prosecutorial.
