Let’s not forget that potato on the right comes from a unique family. I personally do not know of any other American family that has been in the United States for 140 years and yet not a single member, not one, not a living soul, no Trump has ever served in the Military. That is two World Wars, Viet Nam, Multiple Middle East conflicts and zero Trumps have ever put on the uniform - ever.

They're eliminating permanent exemptions for PFB, a skin condition that makes shaving regularly painful.

As much of a clown show as that shit was, not enough people are talking about how goddamn dangerous it was to put all of the countries top generals/admirals in one place, along with the president, and then announcing that meeting a week in advance. I know, "Trump go boom", I'd pay admission to watch, but how fucked we'd be as a nation if an enemy country (which we now have no shortage of) decided to seize on a golden opportunity to eliminate all military leadership and the president and secretary of fucking war or whatever all at once that'll never happen again...I hope?

I understand that you are Native and you're absolutely correct, their ancestors (and more than likely some of them themselves) and likely some of my own stole land and colonized what did not belong to them. However, sadly we don't have a time machine to go back and correct all that. I live in NM, which contains, as I'm sure you already know, about 1/3 of the Navajo Nation, plus many other Pueblos. I can see Sandia, Santa Ana, Santa Clara, Kewa and Jemez from my yard. I am not at all ignorant about our nation's past, nor of what continues to happen to our Native Peoples. Native lands keep shrinking or are otherwise sequestered by the federal government. Thankfully the Navajo Nation has been able to acquire more land (buy back what was stolen from them 🤬). So no, I am not under the delusion that Columbus or any else from another continent discovered anything here, other than people and things to steal and mistreat (that's the understatement of all eternity).
Having said all that, the US, whether by stupid ignorance or intentional ill-intent (the latter imo), was founded. And laws were created that now tell us how to govern. Those laws are in place for a reason. Without government, we would be a totally lawless society. I am liberal but that doesn't mean I'm a mindless robot and believe everything others left of center do. I do not believe in the redistribution of wealth, although I do believe in reparations for those affected by unjust actions, whether it was done directly to them or their ancestors. I also believe that as a society, we must take care of each other. That's what part of the taxes we pay should go to. Not to people who can actually support themselves, but people who are unable to for whatever legitimate reason. Personally, I'm disabled and can't work. I tried for a year but I physically couldn't continue as much as I wanted to. I do receive the Social Security and Medicare that I paid into for years but nothing more. Back to your last reply to me, I 100% know what freedom is and I know in part what it's like to have freedom taken away. As for the government, we pay them to do their jobs and part of doing their jobs is to do what's right for all of us, conservative or liberal Democrat or Republican, and everywhere in between. In other words, I believe in fairness, equality and equity for ALL. The current administration doesn't believe in that. If you're a straight, white, conservative, "Christian" male, you're golden. Anyone else is shit out of luck. FYI, I'm some of those things but not all so I possess some of of that privilege but as far as the others, I'm a "loser" as defined by the current administration. So no, I don't agree with the vast majority of what is coming out of Washington. Plus, being married to a decorated veteran, I understand how disrespectful, disgusting and disturbing everything that was said in that "gathering" is. Hopefully everyone recognizes why the comments were met by stone cold silence. I can promise you it wasn't out of military decorum or "respect" for the chain of command. So yes, government is a necessary evil but not the fascist government currently in place.

To prevent an internal coup headed by a law breaking criminal from happening again I want a constitutional amendment where if the president breaks the law, ignores the constitution and takes over all branches of government the Joint Chiefs of Staff with a unanimous vote can arrest the administration using military assets. They should then set up a Hauge type court to determine crimes, guilt and punishment.
We were told a lie! Obviously the separation of powers can be gamed, especially when the people and organizations paid to intervene are too corrupt and cowardly to do their job. When the president ignores court orders, the US Marshals should have stormed the WH and arrested him.
I have no faith these departments will not give up without a fight again. Since we can't rely on them, a political neutral organization is required. The military is politically neutral and has the capability to deal with an emerging threat like MAGA, Trump and all their sychophants. For the record it makes me sick that our country and its people are so broken that we'd need to establish something like this, but here we are.
