Well, of COURSE he’s gonna try to use our military against us!! He’s shifted so much money to that end that it makes sense for the men to follow the 💰.
It’s not like the borders are being overrun, so we can count on his planning to turn the forces toward control the rest of us. It’s terrifying. We’ve seen this song and dance, it was just in Europe last time. Time to bring the thunder, y’all. Speak it, sing it, stomp it into being.
Glenn, I live in Washington state. I have been calling the Republican representatives and senators and letting them know how upset I am that they voted this big hideous bill. I had called and sent postcards prior to the voting. That they were willing to rip healthcare and snap benefits away from their constituents and other millions while ensuring that the richest Americans have continued tax relief. I’ve left messages saying that even though I live in Washington state, I am going to do everything I can to help them be primaried.
I don’t know if this does any good but in addition to protesting, carrying signs and donating to democratic candidates I plan to continue calling. Someone told me that they won’t pay any attention to anyone other than their constituents but I want them to know that people in other areas of the country are angry and want them out of office and will help to make that happen. Do you know if that’s true or should I continue regardless? Thanks for your talks. They help more than you can even know.
I will be interested in your interview tomorrow as I live by a huge base in Southern California. I see these cars belonging to them mostly from red states. You see the very young men in town and frankly I have no hope that they would not follow orders legal or other wise. Feel if they are joining at this point in time that they believe in the “trump “vision of the military.
Although happy for independence and all that we as a nation have struggled through to get to this point, I grieve for the current direction our country is heading… and a lot of that just to stoke and soothe huge egos… and much of that at the expense of the most vulnerable…
With all this in mind, it led me to write the following:
I’m still interested in seeing a photo from younger years! Glenn, your music choices are great!!!! Jackson Brown sings great songs! Have a nice evening!
Thank you, Glenn. I listen to your video Sunday morning while I’m out walking and hope you get back home in time to catch your Sunday video. I learn so Much from you. But I’m wondering, do you think the military will actually refuse to follow his illegal orders. And if they do, what will occur? Maybe these questions will be answered by your next guest. Thanks again

The midterms will not only be a turning point - they may very well be the start of a civil war if he tries to cancel them or interferes with them.
Can't rely on midterms with election reform underway.......
Reform? You mean suppression and vote disqualification as Greg Palast’s research suggests?
Was I too subtle?
Not at all.
Nah. 😆
Glenn I’m so disheartened.
We are all disheartened, brother. Have faith.
I just saw this on another thread and thought “buck up Mickey” thanks for your comment.
I had a cool pic to post with this comment but for some reason it wouldn’t post.

Join your local Red, Wine, and Blue!
I like tonight’s topics!

Agreed. Look at Hegseth's refusal to answer the very question whether he would shoot in legs

With all this in mind, it led me to write the following:
Lawless
He’s got the whole party wrapped,
Around his tiny fingers…
And demanding sick fealty,
With a stink that lingers.
He has sickness pervading,
Every fiber of being…
As he stumbles blindly forward,
Without ever really seeing.
He lies so often,
That he thinks it’s all true…
But the world all knows,
He doesn’t have a clue.
He tears down anything,
That stands in his way…
Trashing honesty and truth,
As critical parts of each day.
In the Oval Office,
His thoughts are drifting,
From things that matter,
To golf and grifting.
Around the world,
Temps are rising,
Trump thinks it’s fake,
Not that surprising.
The science about climate,
He just doesn’t get,
As long as golf courses,
Are green and wet.
He gets his science,
From inside his gut…
While he goes rampaging
For critical programs to cut.
Any long-term plans,
Involve power and money,
To him they’re like,
His milk and honey.
The Earth is in crisis,
And needs some care…
He’s not concerned,
It’s not why he’s there
For lawless behavior,
And crimes that he’s done,
Statistics show,
that he’s second to none

Hi Kimmy, I wrote it because as I said, I’ve had enough
Who wrote this? Its good!
Hey Glenn...just wanted you to know that I often miss you live, but always catch up later. Peace
But the Red States don't want to be free of Trump or to save the Union......
Whenever I hear the name Lt. Calley, I get instant nausea. Even just this moment. I was 20 years old, not yet able to vote, because, y'know - 1968.
We are not supposed to exalt over someone else's passing, but last year when Calley passed. I sure as hell shed no tears.
I’m still interested in seeing a photo from younger years! Glenn, your music choices are great!!!! Jackson Brown sings great songs! Have a nice evening!
This live chat helped motivate me to keep fighting for democracy. Thank you so much for your encouragement and for your service @Glenn Kirschner

Of course, he will give unlawful orders. There is nobody able or willing to stop him, and there are plenty of people willing to follow those orders.
