The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Worse than just a stunt.

The six demoncrats who made the video are encouraging the lower ranks to be insubordinate to their superior commanders and officers for absolutely no reason whatsoever except treason and hatred of Trump.

Not one of these nincompoops have claimed a single order they are aware of which they believe is not just questionable, not just a misuse of Presidential power, not merely embarrassing (in their view) to the United States, not just unfair, not just harmful, but UNLAWFUL to the point where it is obvious that it should not be obeyed.

It was meant to undermine not just Trump's lawful authority as CinC, but to undermine the lawful authority of every other person in the chain of command.

Trying to be cute by saying "but they only said to disobey UNLAWFUL orders not lawful ones" is like, if your spouse is going to a Christmas party without you, telling them "Now don't f*ck anyone you're not supposed to, honey."

If you said that to your spouse and they were offended by it, would you then claim "Well I wasn't accusing you of anything! What I said is perfectly reasonable!"

Democrats are idiots.
