The chain of command does not authorize you to violate existing laws.

Gen McMaster’s loyalty is to the Constitution of the United States, not to the President. If the President is asking him to do something that is illegal or contrary to rules and regulations, then McMaster has a duty to respectfully inform him of that, disobey is he has to, and if Trump has a problem with it, he can

ah the old “just following orders” excuse

“I was just following orders.” - every Nazi ever

So more Nazi, less Democracy, got it.

Yeah, military people should just blindly follow orders. When has that ever gone wrong?

To be fair, he also took an oath to up hold the Constitution against all enemies, foriegn and domestic. At the moment Trump is looking like a ‘bigly’ domestic enemy.

I have massive respect for the man, doing what he knows is right rather than trying to keep his job.

Maybe McMaster cares more about the U.S.A. and our future as a nation than he does in being a bootlicking toady. If your boss won’t hear it in private, then you gotta go above his head, and in this case that means going public.

Extra low mileage Murcielago for sale. Recently serviced, fresh paint. Only 37k miles! Asking $250,000 or best. No lowballers, this is a RARE car, I know what I have.

How has this man not won an Oscar yet? I loved the Prestige, Inception, Memento, the first two Batman films, and my favorite: Interstellar.

“The Official Trump Truck”

You forgot one

President Trump said he was sending an armada towards NK. He either lied, had no idea what was actually happening, or doesn’t actually know what an armada is. This is way the fuck different from not unveiling military strategy.

Lol and I thought I was going to get work done today.

He’s right.

I-85 falls down. I-20 lifts up. Atlanta’s interstates are statistically perfect.
