Trump Faces Military Resistance After Unlawful Directive

Trump trying to weaponize the military against its own civilians, we'll see how military resistance works out. I'm secretly hoping that there's massive resistance in every direction but I'm highly skeptical. I know that they're taught to obey orders like good little golden retrievers so I hope for the best, expect the worst.

Read the room, military recruitment is way up, enlisted and the military in general love Trump and respect secretary Hegseth. The use of the National Guard to put down riots is completely legal and does not violate posse comitatus

1. Grow a spine, peaceful protesting is not rioting. Slight disagreements or getting mad or yelling doesn't still equal rioting. Love how you think cities are apocalyptic warzones, it's too cute.

2. Read the room honey. The post was about military resistance not low recruiting numbers, not sure why you mention something that didn't exist. But also the recruiting thing happened way before Trump. The reason it was low under Biden was for different reasons. I always like to stay logical rather than making up some kind of power and glory 'MUERICA fantasy personally but you do you. Trump isn't responsible for higher numbers but initiatives that were put in place before him.

Also fkk Pete Hegseth no respect there.
@redredred Read the room. Did you see that "speech" in front of the brass. You could practically hear the facepalms. And recruitment can go up when you lower the quotas every year.


And deploying the military against the US population during peace time is against the law. It is a direct violation of posse comitatus and there are no riots.

And even riots would not make it legal. The only legal justification would be a rebellion. Like what you right wingers pulled in the 1860s.


No surprise you are a cheerleader for fascists though.
@redredred says
military recruitment is way up,
Yes, it's amazing what can happen when you lower the standards! According to https://thedefensepost.com/2025/02/28/us-army-fitness-standards/
A new report from the Pentagon Inspector General reveals that the US Army has been lowering its fitness requirements to meet ambitious recruitment targets.

The findings come shortly after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth celebrated the service’s “best recruiting numbers” in 15 years — a milestone reached just last month.

According to the report, approximately 14 percent of 1,100 trainees between February and May 2024 exceeded the Army’s body fat standards, even after threshold adjustments and extended time to meet the required weight.

BTW, tRump sent 700 active-duty US Marines to LA. Not Nat'l Guard, but U.S. Marines. Are you admitting that was illegal?

The use of the National Guard to put down riots
Riots? Ah yes, the dreaded Portland Frog Costume riots; viewer discretion advised!!

@redredred wow maga cult members are so weird
@redredred We had peace in the middle east under Clinton; Bush blew it up with his Iraq war. Takes time to fix that mess.

hundreds of thousands invaders have already been sent packing
Biden deported at higher rates than tRump.

the economy is booming
Did someone forget to tell the soybean farmers? Anyway, how do you know? tRump is preventing the release of economic indicators. BTW, we've been running on Biden's budget & economy until the shutdown; the "tRump economy" IS the shutdown🤣😂

You can't counter my point about lowering recruiting standards; particularly weight limits? Good to know.

And you have no evidence of "riots" in Portland or LA or San Fran or NYC? Good to know!!

@ElwoodBlues It’s kinda funny because people are saying there's riots in Portland when it's a bunch of people dressed as frogs that's how you know the racists don't get out much 😭 🤪

Maybe some streaming channels should run "Judgement at Nuremberg" again. Spencer Tracys summation really cuts to the chase..😷

Technically, even disobeying an illegal order could lead to a court-martial and prison time, so it takes a lot of courage for those guys to resist.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@LordShadowfire But I do get it, I suppose I should be more respectful. On the other hand I find I just can't, every video is of them doing things to civilians. I try though
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@SatanBurger I'm not saying they aren't complicit by following those illegal orders. Believe that.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@LordShadowfire I believe you, I didn't think you were saying that anyways.
China's cutting the empire off.
No more weapons! No weapons profits!
It's over. USA lost.

@Roundandroundwego what color is the sun on your home planet?
@redredred not knowing is your best shot! But weapons profits are over. Y'all can still build prisons and work in them! And live in them!
But don't admit war profits are over. Be firm, stick together!
