Just let this sink in, Trump is using Texas PRISON GUARDS to Guard the WH! He has lost the support of the Military & is DESPERATE. I hope they brought enough Donuts and Hamberders to sustain them. I do not think the Public has to obey TEXAS PRISON GUARDS DO YOU?

(6,065 posts)...is he legit law enforcement or just a lame-o cosplayer? Seems to me, you could legally tell him to fuck off.
Of course, he could illegally shoot you.

(11,949 posts)I think the generals told him fuck no. We will resign our commission before we do this.
And that is because I think they know the lower ranked officers who cant resign their commission would refuse and request a Court Martial.
And they would because they know lots of the troops would refuse. Not all, maybe, but enough. Most of they guys have been fighting hard overseas for years. They know fear. Now they are asked to deploy against American Citizens?
Realize, most of these kids arent Millennials. But Gen Z or whatever the hell they are called. They know federal forces were used to clear peaceful protesters so trump could get a photo op. They see everything we do but not thru the Fox News bubble. But their friends. Unlike WWII troops see everything kids their age do on their cell phones.
Yeah, if American cities are burning to the ground they would go. But to put down protest? This is probably the generation least likely since the founders to fire on their fellow citizens.
Or that is my hope knowing a few young boys currently serving.
