The Pentagon’s investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy “illegal orders” has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts.
Some say the Pentagon is misreading military law to go after Kelly as a retired Navy fighter pilot. Others say the Arizona Democrat cannot be prosecuted as a member of Congress. A group of former military prosecutors insists he did nothing wrong.
The Pentagon announced the investigation last week after Donald Trump’s social media post accusing Kelly — and the five other Democratic lawmakers in the video — of sedition “punishable by DEATH.”
The logic in this is so mind numbing. It bothers me to my core that people see this shit and don’t realize why it’s dumb as fuck.
i’m less worried about it being dumb as fuck, and more worried about why they now feel so comfortable as to openly peddle their bullshit lies via government sites
Either they themselves are dumb as fuck, or they just don’t care because they benefit, because it’s hurting the people they hate, or at least the people they’re told to hate.
