They encouraged military sedition.
Now come the consequences.
The Department of War argues that Kelly’s conduct violated two specific articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ):
- Article 133: Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and Gentleman. The Pentagon argues that by appearing in the November “Seditious Six” video, which seemingly encourages active-duty troops to question and potentially defy the chain of command, Kelly committed an act that is “dishonorable” and “disgraceful” to his status as a Navy Captain. Hegseth is using this article to prove that Kelly’s service as an O-6 was “unsatisfactory,” which is the legal requirement needed to strip his rank and reduce his pension.
- Article 134: The “General Article,” conduct that brings discredit upon the armed forces. A “catch-all” provision covers any conduct that is “to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces” or “of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces.” The Department of War views the video as a “reckless and seditious” provocation intended to sow doubt and insubordination among the troops.
And this:
Dems don’t uphold the law and the constitution. They use their personal politics to rail against lawful, constitutional executive orders, simply because they hate Trump.
They didn’t give one single example of “illegals orders”. It’s likely that these Dems are having fits over the deployment of the National Guard to assist law enforcement officers in cracking down on rampant crime.
And they don’t like his actions against the dangerous drug cartels and the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Tough shit. The president is doing exactly what he should to protect America.
President Trump can legally use the National Guard without breaching the Posse Comitatus Act because the Guard can operate under state control, not federal control. When activated by a state governor (under Title 32 or state active duty), the Guard is allowed to perform law enforcement duties, including assisting with public safety or emergencies. The Posse Comitatus Act primarily restricts federal military forces—like the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines—from engaging in domestic law enforcement, but it does not apply to National Guard troops serving under their state governor.
Federal military forces can also be used in certain domestic situations under laws like the Insurrection Act, which allows the President to deploy troops to suppress insurrections, enforce federal law, or restore order. This authority has been used by different Presidents throughout U.S. history during times of civil unrest or rebellion. Even under the Insurrection Act, deployment is specific and legally limited to those extraordinary circumstances.
Dems are no strangers to treason.
Remember the Baghdad Democrats and the ‘good will’ trip Kucinich and Pelosi made to Syria in order to kiss Assad’s ass?
Dem U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, Marcia Fudge, Mel Watt, Laura Richardson, and Bobby Rush snuggled with Castro.
John Kerry coached the PLO to oppose Trump during peace talks.
In 1983, Ted Kennedy offered to work with the Soviets to undermine Ronald Reagan’s efforts to protect America and defeat communism. This goes way beyond political differences and disagreements. It’s sanctioned treason.
When Hillary was Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation peddled influence and favors in return for millions of dollars in foreign donations; some of which came from governments, organizations, and individuals with some pretty nasty track records on terrorism.
Obama commuted the sentence of traitorous little ratfuck Bradley Manning, who leaked 700,000 battlefield reports and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks. Apparently, that was okay with the Dems as well.
Sedition is second nature to the Dem party. After Trump was elected in 2016, they attempted coup d’état against a duly elected president with a fake dossier, illegal spying, lying to the FISA court, and a “Russian collusion hoax“.
When Trump was elected the second time, they convened a ‘shadow government’ hearing, to undermine the election and Trump’s administration.
Former General Mark Milley, who was an active facilitator of leftist political indoctrination in the military, was fully prepared to commit sedition to overthrow the president because Trump offended his woke, socialist ideas.
According to Bob Woodward and Rob Costa’s book, “Peril”, Milley called ChiCom General Li Zuocheng. He did not inform anyone, including President Trump, of the phone call. Here was Milley’s message for the ChiCom military. “Gen. Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be OK. We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.” “Gen. Li, you and I have known each other for five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
He also had a meeting with DOJ hack Merrick Garland to discuss targeting American citizens.
According to CNN, who reviewed the book, Milley ‘called a secret meeting in his Pentagon office on January 8 to review the process for military action, including launching nuclear weapons. Milley instructed them not to take orders from anyone unless he was involved. “No matter what you are told, you do the procedure. You do the process. And I’m part of that procedure,” Milley said, according to the book. “Got it?” asked Milley. “Yes, sir,” replied his senior staff.
Every one of those fucking conspirators should be charged.
