“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
“Every soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, guardian and Coast Guardsman, each of us commits our very life to protect and defend that document, regardless of personal price, and we are not easily intimidated.” – from the farewell address of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley

Such a powerful and meaningful principled stand. I feel safer already.
I’m sure this will be followed up by ACTION! and that Trump feels very bad now.

Are being insane and mentally ill the same thing? Are there degrees of either, or both, that need to be investigated?
He needs to be tested.
(I’m holding back and it is really hard but otherwise I would detonate.)

Once again… nothing to see here. Dems are very little people now and getting smaller and smaller every minute of every day.

“The speech we just witnessed is a desecration of the essential values of this storied department in every way,” he said. “It’s an insult to the thousands of professional lawyers who go to work at the Department of Justice every day to enforce the rule of law, not the personal vendettas and partisan games of a politician.”
I thought I might make the statement a bit more accessible to the masses.
“By his speech, Trump is crapping on the core values of the Department of Justice” he [said]. “He is screwing the thousands of people who do the hard work at the DOJ everyday, to keep the rule of law fair and just. Equally he is sh-tting on this country, its people and the guarantees of a DOJ that is not there for Donald’s personal grudges and his pettty bullsh-t. ”

Who cares what the washed up Democrat politicians say. They are less popular than the Republican politicians who are looking up to find bottom. I want more of what Bernie is selling and less Chucklehead Schumer.
Hell, I didn’t know that Lindsey Graham had joined the Democratic party.
Then the asshats immediately wrote a strongly-worded letter and patted themselves on the fucking back.
