Practically speaking, Trump can order the military to do anything and everything he wants. Whether legal, “legal”, against norms, whatever, the military’s likelier than not to obey. The likelihood of anyone making a legal case would be let’s say dubious. And were someone to bring a case (assuming, of course, a lack of standing isn’t a problem), then the odds of the Roberts court doing anything to frustrate Trump’s efforts are, please, they’d do nothing.
Short version: if he wants to pull shit with the military, no one will do anything about it.
If we don’t know that the idea of being above the law and never be held accountable is now the new orthodoxy…
US military has always leaned strongly "conservative", now translated into pro-tRump sentiment. I doubt if there would be much institutional pushback if tRump II used and abused the armed forces as his personal Praetorian Guard.
"Our President and VP..."
Dude is delusional and a Traitor. No business being a Public Figure.

When Dems retake the house
majority, Mikey Johnson can
go back to his bench in the
dark corner. 1/3/25 is when
the House changes majority
rule and Hakeem Jeffries will
be new Speaker. Even so, VP
Harris is still President of the
Senate on 1/6 and certifies
the Electoral Votes,
not Mikey Johnson.
LA has a bunch of reps that
should be scraped off our
shoes. Ugh!
I see DOJ has no problem going after Adams but when it comes to tangeranus it's slow walk/no walk for years. I wonder why the discrepancy?
David, what a frightening opening to your newsletter. Thank you. It’s very hard to think that in six weeks time something like that could be churning.
