well, you got the basics, but muddled on the details: the bloody standard is raised against us, it is the standard of tyranny. its ferocious soldiers are coming into our arms to cut the throats of our women and children, and yes, we do want their impure blood to flood our fields, but i believe considering the above, we can be forgiven. they are coming to kill our families into our very homes to support tyranny, after all!

Soft-boiled eggs are my second-favorite, after poached, way of preparing an egg as an egg. But both are light-years behind a good chocolate cake.

It wouldn't happen. There would be some rogue elements here or there - but 99.9% of the military, especially the leadership, would refuse to do it.

That order would probably result in, if anything, a military coup. I can certainly see the Joint Chiefs ordering some units to arrest the President were he to attempt that.

But I don't see it happening.

It's a 2-edged sword. We're getting high-lowed by the rich pigs at the high end and the poor white trash at the low end. We have the #, but our critical thinking skills can work against us in getting behind a not-perfect candidate https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

I do. One of the points hammered home in leadership training is that leaders are culpable for following illegal orders.

Also, while most military media has a conservative bent, it’s moderate, not far right. The old guard would be absolutely appalled at the idea of firing on Americans.

I don't think it was honor that made Rossello resign, he probably realized the crowds wouldn't stop at protesting. But trump isn't that smart.

I am sorry to have to correct you but The Wharton School is the college of business at UPenn. They have an undergraduate and graduate programs in business. He was there for his last two years of college. He started out at Fordham University in the Bronx and through a family friend was able to get accepted into the undergraduate program at Wharton.

I think the issue is concentration of people. HK and Puerto Rico are small enough in area that people can focus on one area.In the US, there are protests all over, every week, but they are so spread out they get no attention.
