Conspiracies Around Trump, Military Leadership, and Militias - Jordan Klepper Fingers The Conspiracy
MAGA supporters not only believe that Donald Trump is still president, but that he's in charge of the military. Jordan Klepper dives into military conspiracy theories with Paul Szoldra, the editor of The Ruck, a weekly newsletter focused on defense and national security. They discuss the Jade Helm theory, how service members reactions, and how high-ranking officials like General Michael Flynn abuse their credibility to spread them. They are joined by Dr. Amy Cooter of Middlebury College, who breaks down her research on militia groups like the Oath Keepers, the overlap between members and veterans, and how militias approach “defending” their country. #DailyShow #JordanKlepper #Podcast

I'm retired after 36 years in the military and I can not understand how anyone who ever served could support Trump. I believe he is a traitor and has put our country at risk with his actions.
I think you meant "traitor" as in someone who betrays loyalties. 😊
@@beachybird1251 lol, I absolutely did. Not his soul... Oh wait!
@christopherl.miller4092 Thank you for your service! That was an impressive run. Hope you're doing well and enjoying civilian life these days.
@@kingayy9267 Thank you. Doing well and it was always my honor.
My brother once said: "Its not the Democrats we worry about. It's the Progressives." another time when I pointed out an ad for a movie we could watch he started mumbling about Leonardo DeCaprio being a Communist. Maybe it was that crazy movie. He's a retired Colonel.
What I don't understand is former military people joining a militia. I got better things to do on my weekends than pretend to be working at my old job.
It's persons coming out of the military that still want to be military, but without having to answer to a commanding NCO/Officer and go to P.T. every morning.
@@themapmaker5374then don't leave the military?
@@Wha2lesexactly! 😂
I'm sure quite a few of them got put out...especially if they're overweight
Ron Paul's Waco Whackos (Oath Keepers) were formed By One Eyed Bandito, Stewart Rhodes, after Ron Paul lost the Election in 2008 to form an Insurrection against Barack Obama.
My dad was a Marine fought for his country and has 2 Purple Hearts. Now I must say he really isn’t all about hating the left or the right. My dad told me when he joined the Marines it was because he loves our Country and wants to protect the constitution rights of every American, not just the ones that agree with him. He is a True Patriot. America has always been diverse race, ethnicity and religion. Not sure why you would join a military when you don’t like or respect what the United States represents.
I understand this. And agree with the sentiment, but what was the point? No shade being thrown, it’s an actual question. We need to be a “we” if we are to unite again. But that means a common ground to take care of not only that have fought for us, but all of us. Every single person.
The Majority of US Veterans feel that way
My uncle--RAF WWII; My father-Marines-Korean War. Died. My beloved brother, ARMY, Viet Nam Died Not thrilled with the military.
They probably feel disillusioned by our policies and how many of their buddies died basically for a politicians personal gains.
US Military: logic + intel = strategy MAGA Militia: ignorance + conspiracy = jail
My husband, a colonel in the army, would think these guys are nuts. And scary.
Soldiers are murderers
Mine, too.
And your husband would be right.
A lot of "militia" members didn't score high enough on the ASVAB to join the military.
cannonfodder only needs to be able to follow orders.
A lot of "militia" members couldn't pass the standardized tests in high school
Some of them are former military.
@@cmdraftbrn Trump spoke highly of Pootin, so I'm sure that if these 'militia' members applied for a working visa to Ruzzia, Moscow will welcome them!
As a general rule, people who follow and worship TFG, have lower education levels. Guessing the goofy militia people barely slipped through school. Nobody can behave like that and not be nuts.
Let's stop referring to these groups as "militia". Let's call them what they are - terrorist groups. That is the language we need to start using when discussing these groups.
Just the your U.S. government military.
I keep asking them to show me their well regulated militia and they mostly respond with, “what?”
I see your point but most of these guys would be about as effective as yourocsl Boy Scout troop. I've met one or two and it's really more of a social club for them. There are some terroristic groups, but I believe there are far more social groups.
Agreed. Especially when they march down streets, brandishing weapons and hiding their faces. The end goal there is to instill fear into people-i.e. Terrorize.
@@jillionairess "...show me their well regulated militia..." "well regulated" during the time of writing never meant legislation.

That was clever
Fabulous 👌 transforming. True poetry.
Great poem
He's a coward lacking any honesty or truth whatsoever!
Whenever I hear about "militia" members who think they can go to war with the actual military, I get a mental image of a 45 year old 300 pound crossing guard trying to climb a cargo net.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LoL
American "militia" are mostly war geek rejects who couldn't make the cut for real military. Failed boy scouts with bad mothers.
You mean staring at one and asking why.
Facts!
Why TF would military back him? He's shown nothing but contempt for the military.
Because "following without questioning" is drilled into their brains... And a lot of uneducated are joining the military too...
In truth, we don't "back" the President. We obey only his/her lawful orders. Emphasis on "lawful". We are not going to participate in political activities; the DoD is apolitical as a matter of policy and law.
Because not all of the top brass disagree with these militia guys.
All of the top brass disagree with "militia guys" Nation Guard will wipe out any and every militia raising arms against US. Tech has come a long way. Average people don't realize what NG is capable of.
He also lied about having “ bad feet “, aka Plantar Fasciitis, to AVOID entering the Military, yet he said he prefer Soldiers who don’t get captured [ alluding to John McCain ] ! His niece, Mary L. Trump, PhD. and author of “ Too Much, Never Enough. . . “, wrote that none of the Trump men never served in the Military ! 🤬😱😤
Jordan Klepper should have his own show he handles stupidity at trump rallies amazingly well
The only problem is magas don't understand sarcasm.
He does. Cable is on life support. Klepper is where he needs to be.
call it "bellow the barrel"
I thought he should replace Trevor.
He did have his own show, it was called "the opposition" then had another of his own shows called "Klepper" I believe both were cancelled. Unfortunately, the dude is a very smart and funny person. I think he needs to take over the daily show for the foreseeable future, but well see
Interesting discussion, as a 20+ y navy veteran, weeding out those who put fascist ideology over their oaths, very disturbing but not unexpected, especially when so much misinformation is making them believe that anyone who isn’t a Republican or with them is their enemy, however difficult it is to believe how anyone could be so gullible is mind boggling, like all the misinformation by the fossil industry on climate change, which people with limited education and critical thinking skill fail to question things, while researching facts etc…these are indeed dangerous times, but as climate change presents a more existential threat, that with time, no one except the most extreme denier will attribute to natural cycle, anyways, whatever one ideology, or political affiliation, climate change will be the game changer, in my opinion…!
If Trump is still President, then how can he run for reelection and serve as president for a third term? Shouldn't MAGA be supporting a different candidate, and Trump also backing someone else? The irony never ends...
He definitely then should stop complaining that the election was stolen 😅
And if he’s still president, why does he get zero blame?
what? applying logic to reality?! Unheard of in the US
But that would require critical thinking, as you're doing here. The huge majority of MAGA don't do that, especially if the answer isn't the answer they like.
What I would like to know is: with ALL of the daily debacles of the TaliBiden administration, why are we talking about a guy who left the White House 2 years ago??!!
I'm an Army brat. For an embarrassingly long time I thought that everyone else was as affiliated as I was, albeit probably different branches. My dad (Col. Army Air Corps. dec.)explained to me that only 3% of Americans even know someone in the military. The general public is very vulnerable to deceit in these matters.
movies mostly
Can confirm, civies are seriously lacking in a general understanding of the just how well the military functions even in the worst of times.
My father was a Lt.Captain in the Air Force when he died. I'm a Biden supporter, NEVER trump. Maga makes me sick.
Great discussion and eye-opener. It is concerning that some Americans believe there are 2 militaries - especially stating that Trump is in charge of one of them. Seems like it does fringe on domestic terrorism.
They are his military. RNC recruited them with a fundraiser email that said LOUD & CLEAR, “join Trump’s army” in the headline, ffs:/ Why is that not ever mentioned? They ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!
Hate to address this way but they are in a delusional state of mind or their dislike an individual which seems absolutely foolhardy! That in itself shows possibly there ignorance or there inability to understand the truth from the false statements! 😮😢
It is domestic terrorism and it isn't new. Sarah Diamond, a UC Berkeley researcher wrote about domestic terrorism, the militia and the white supremacists in the early 1990's and spoke at length on Radio Station KPFA that was broadcast throughout the nation. This conversation is correctly right on. People need to call it out NOW! Vote Blue! 💙
My question is why (not really wondering why) the FBI has NOT designated these trailer trash inhabitants as DOMESTIC TERRORIST. Again yt privilege!
Well, we know better... there is no other military other than not so hidden militia's in America. They make themselves know. They gotta be careful, the Government may do a Waco on them. It's possible. Just saying. 🤔🤗😇
showing a friend the real information can backfire too. My best friend for 20 years went with conspiracies and spent his evenings sending me the stories to convince me of the "truth". I always showed interest in the story, went into the source of the information and showed him the official document or reverse image searched his "evidence". Eventually he just shut off from everyone not wanting to "wake up" and now we are no longer friends. He used to be a friendly guy talking about all kind of stuff, now conspiracies is the only thing he talks about. I even went out for dinner with him when we got together and a military plane flew over. (I live near a base where they train paratroopers) and he started talking about cloudseeding while I made it clear it is military training from the nearby base. There was no convincing him.
Yes, it is very sad that they can not accept factual information if it destroys one of their cherished conspiracy theories.
I was surprised how many people that I knew that I thought were reasonable that were absolutely certain the 2020 election was stolen. Of course every one of them were Trump supporters.
Ohhhh I gots one for ya...I have a best friend grew up with and he's totally muck brained as of 2017 on. He's been sending me absolute horseshit articles and videos that just propagate the kaka. Best part of this is his lifestyle is what you'd consider to be liberal. Plus he volunteers for a liberal college radio station. How screwball can ya get!?
On one hand, it's sad. On the other, it's easier to identify who's an idiot anymore.
Maga is a cult. We need deprogramers.

@@antondovydaitis2261 Jefferson Davis was put on house arrest.
@@eleventy-seven Yes, but Trump is charged with actual crimes, for which he will have actual trials. Jefferson Davis was never prosecuted or sentenced.
But he is still president, how can he run for a third term?
Don't try 2 find any reasoning in their gutter thinking and beliefs! Don't bother 2 argue with them, just give them your best 'stone-dead' look with a sympathetic smirk and keep it moving. 👍🤔
That's too much logic for them to understand. Plus, he wanted to stay in power by changing the constitution.
🤭
because he is not in office.
And Flynn’s brother should be examined as well..now!
That is exactly what I have been saying for years now. Donnie should be nowhere near the White House again never.
Charles Flynn was DC National Guard commander on Jan 6th. The Capitol Police asked the NG for urgent assistance. Flynn and his 2nd IC denied receiving any request for help. Trump used a burner phone that day. Flynn was next transferred to Army IC Pacific Command.
You're the MAN 😂😂😂 These 🤡🤡🤡's are dangerous AF 😢😢😢 Thank you Jordan for letting us laugh through the tears
I love the "Trump's in charge." "Then he is responsible for (insert something bad here)." "No." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I legit laughed at that one. “So we should blame Trump for what happened in Afghanistan?” “No.”
@@ericdaniel323Well, Trump, as our Lord and Savior, is infallible so it’s not possible for Him to make a mistake

He is no more in charge of the military than I am
Ha! Having been in the military, “Can we teach some more critical thinking skills in school” Is not the first thought that comes to mind. 😂
In the Air Force, I had to take Air Command And Staff College courses to be promoted to Lt Col. I ended up with a Master in Military Arts and Sciences. The core courses were all in critical thinking. It should be taught elsewhere too.
My theory is that "they" are deliberately attacking schools with this "liberal indoctrination" messaging to ensure there aren't critical thinking lessons. From my perspective, it seems that way too many people couldn't outwit an 8th-tier Homer Simpson clone. How many people bought into the statement the traitor put out "if you stop testing people for COVID there will be fewer Infected numbers."
@Zephaerie1 What part of the military were you in that it didn't require critical thinking skills?
I think that many positions that requires the ability to be able to critically think! Ones responsibility requires that thinking, you aren't continuely using that but there are times that requires using it! 😊😂
The public being able to think critically is the most important part of national defense. An aggression by nations like Russia and China will always be initiated by psychological warfare. (In contrast with the military action the US takes.) And much of all this is due to the US loosing an actual war conducted through psychological warfare. Soviet was masterful at it, although most of the European left wingers (social democrats) that was targeted were rather hard to trick. And there wasn’t the internet. Americans were, including Pentagon, were naive and didn’t see it coming when Putin launched the disinformation war. At the right time… when Americans doubted the “establishment” severely due to Bush & Co having tricked the voters into agreeing into an invasion of Iraq. And with the right demagogue to help: Trump! Pentagon seems to be horrible not only conducting offensive psychological warfare, but even defensive. The military strategy seems to be that it’s up to every American to defend themselves against a psyops campaign. A rather “the non regulated conspiracy believing militias will be our first line of defense” idea. Coming from a nation close to the former USSR, all men had to serve back then, and then essentially always be ready to be put into action within 24-48 hours. And a main component was to learn the ways of Soviet psychologic warfare. And how an aggression would be initiated and how they would attempt to trick us. The main strategy within the strategy was to get us do doubt the political and military leadership. With the use of “alternative media”. Back in 2016 it was fully clear to me this is what was happening. Besides internet being the medium of “alternative news”/disinformation, it played out just as I had come to understand it. However critical thinking also will make you become more critical towards your own domestic politicians. Although it won’t be in a conspiratorial way. Other than that I can only argue for the idea of every citizen (not only men these days) having to serve for a year or at least a few months. Not necessarily militarily, but in any areas of “crisis management”. Everyone serving with everyone… the sons of all the fortunate business owners having to dig trenches and cooperate with all the poor guys from the countryside, and all the immigrants from the suburbs. Something, that those who served in the US military (especially perhaps the Marines) also know, will increase domestic empathy, and unite the citizens even if they have different political opinions.
I was in the Army Reserves, and we all know the saying, "Hurry up and wait!" It's always, "GO GO GO GO, now sit there for 2 hours."
Navy then navy reserves. We went slower than army. Ours was rush, maneuver, and sit for weeks.
I’m a veteran myself. I had wanted to join the Oath Keepers. But when I saw the guys I worked with cheering on the insurrection, I was shocked that they were advocating for the overthrow of the United States. I couldn’t join a group like that ever.
These new posts are a wonderful and enlightening addition to Jordan’s reports from the front lines at the rallies. Thanks DS!
I've airsofted for 20 years, never pretended to be a vet for a meal or anything. Or seen anyone do this.
If a person in a leadership position is making any level policy decisions, I would hope they have people with experience next to them at the table who are in the real know and experts would be available to legitimately consult these leaders. If not, that is completely scary

This is presented in such an important, nuanced way. We all know these are absurd theories, but it's important to understand why people are convinced by such nonsense, beyond simply "they're nuts".
Jerome Corsi was spreading the Stupidity of Trump's deal with the Millitary in 2008.

This is just effin crazy !!! It’s so crazy that sometimes I feel like it must be a nightmare !!!
I don't understand the name "Oathkeepers." What oath are they keeping? Many of them were convicted of sedition and insurrection.
He literally explains this in the video. It's not even fifteen minutes in.
As a nerd Iraq veteran, I've always felt militias are just modern day LARPers

Such a thoughtful discussion, thanks.
Jordan, this is a very important post. As one who provides services to our Veterans, it is very important to understand the reality of the military and everything that Paul is providing is spot on. Amy's research is also extremely valuable.
Can we disabuse ourselves of the notion some people deserve respect due to the career they chose? Nothing about any particular choice from retail worker to soldier deserves any more or less consideration or respect. No one deserves a pedestal and anyone that would be worthy of one would refuse it.
I had a lot of respect for the Hospitality staff in our hospital where I worked. Without their dedicated and meticulous efforts the surgeons would've been called butchers. Every job is important. I was one of the best.
I'm a soldier and I agree. I'm not special for serving in the military and I don't like when people thank me for my service. It just bugs me.
Great interview and topic Jordan, I wish everyone would watch it, thank you.
The truly bizarre things people believe...it's so disheartening. Can the country survive so many citizens who are so deluded? I'm not sure.
When you are crazy you can make yourself believe anything.
I will give Trump supporters credit: They love to tell me how they "almost joined the Marines."

I’ve never been in the military, but from the descriptions you two are talking about it sounds exactly like Bill Maulden’s Willie and Joe cartoons published during World War II. There are too many of them to discuss here but they capture the boredom, their feelings towards their superior officers and more. They were collected in a book called Over There and it is truly a classic.

This is mass hysteria for the trumpers and they don't care about facts and truths 💯 😤 they know that most Americans don't want Trump and Maga who are truly faciast they are not Republicans. Republicants party have left and more everyday leave out the back door 🚪 after creating all of this. Until they come out and say they're voting for Bieden and democrats I will never forgive, forget what they have done to our country.

It's what happens to persons that don't stay in school (past high school) and don't surround themselves with persons that are smarter than themselves.
it is error to assume they even finished high school.
Eh, university education is not all that. I don't think it's about their level of education, so much as their feeling of disenfranchisement from democratic societies, which perhaps can be blamed on people like you and me with our fancy graduate and post graduate degrees smugly looking down on these "simple high school graduates" and not letting them into our smart social circles. What's that saying? People don't quit bad jobs, they quit bad managers? We're the bad managers of democracy that they're trying to quit. Unfortunately, they also have guns.

After 28 years of marriage, imagine my surprise to find out my husband is republican. We never had reason to discuss politics until trump came on the scene. My husband didn’t vote. I did. In my opinion, you shouldn’t get a valid point in a discussion if you don’t vote! I would get so mad when he starts defending trump, I feel like divorcing him! I honestly don’t know what to do.
I really think that you are not alone.
You’re definitely not alone. I’m seriously concerned about my relationship with my husband due to Trump, Fox and Dan Bongino..
Trump is not a Republican. He has no ideology, no real knowledge.
I’m in exact situation married 25 years . We have had more arguments about Trump than anything else. We had a heart to heart conversation on this subject. We decided not to bring politics into our home. And I’m going to tell you it has been nice. All that tension is gone. Trump isn’t going to steal our joy and ruin my family. Looking back I realized he respected our opinions and beliefs. Never tried to convert us to the Trump side. My daughter went to a couple BLM protests and he didn’t say anything negative. Im just going to let him have his brainwashed opinions. 😊
@@CathyJ-st2ps we did the same thing. No talking about politics but I can’t help it. I still really resent him. The thing is he doesn’t vote and doesn’t even really know the details about Trump. He keeps saying, the country ran better when Trump was in office. I want to slap him!
I've always believed militias are simply modern-day LARPers as a nerdy Iraq War veteran.
They are domestic terrorists most of them and since Trump and Flynn are working together its more concerning now than ever. Most Americans will be voting blue in all elections up and down the ballot to make sure our country thrives and survives all of these traitors. Vote, vote, vote blue 💙
So, if trump is still president and running the government, then it’s ineligible for him to run for a 3rd term! 😂 It’s so sad and pathetic it doesn’t even take critical thinking to debunk conservative’s grifts and lies. The simplest logical thought can crumble their entire arguments.
He's also stated if he wins again, he's planning to serve another 2...maybe 3...maybe more...terms as president. He comes right out and says what his intentions are. Narcissist wanna-be dictator til the bitter end.
Exactly 😂
You are 100 percent correct. These pathetic uneducated MAGAs are loved by tRump. It is very, very sad and dangerous.
That's assuming we're going by the US constitution. the cultists believe everything out of his mouth even if it contradicts the constitution, which a lot of his rhetoric does.

I am/was a Senior military spouse whose husband served active duty for 36 years in Army Aviation. In 2014 I was sitting with my husband and his “two star” boss during his Farewell when he began to regale us with his very true and realistic beliefs about end of world scenarios where zombies take over the world. This guy actually was sharing his beliefs and plans about zombies being real and how he and his family were preparing for such an event should it come to fruition. I remember making eye contact with others at our table and we all had looks of shell shock on our faces, waiting for his punchline or the gotcha moment. But oh no, this idiot believed in his conspiracies per my husband and his fellow officers. This little two star was headed to the Pentagon at the time in a place of real decision making and influence. To this day, my husband and I still talk about this clown and where he took his own conspiracy theory. #voteblue2024 💙
Let's agree on this point: IF THERE'S UNIFORMS, IT'S A GAME. It's pretend. It's points. Nobody has to die, especially those without uniforms who aren't even playing the game.
Great discussion. I wish I could join, especially about rank and perception.
I think the Draft should be reinstated. Everyone should have to do a couple years. Some military training, first aid, and then do something which needs doing. Repair something. Help the country!
I would like to know what Jordan Klepper will not Finger? Seriously though, I feel like Jordan Klepper is a more trusted source of news than all news networks combined..
One MUST REMEMBER that ALL so called news programs are owned by major corporations and must tote the line for these businesses. There are NO major NEWS AGENCIES! The most accurate news comes from people like Jordan. EVERY major news group has an AGENDA. Even on your local so called NEWS. The talking heads themselves may be decent folks themselves but they want to keep their high paying jobs so they must conform.

Most people couldn't even name the branches of the government. What happened to the educational system? We had civics, economics and accounting. They would teach us how important that we vote and why. That it is a privilege and a responsibility. The kids I know now days aren't prepared. They can't even tell you who their representatives are. We need to revamp schools for our kids. My way isn't the way to teach the kids today. But we desperately need to change the education system.

Paramount and the AMPTP, end the strike! Give writers and actors the fair treatment, and job security they deserve! Today is the deadline to meet the 160,000 actors in the SAG on their demands. Agree to negotiate with writers and actors and end this nonsense!
Wrong channel~ 😂
@@janicetribbiani7535 Paramount owns Comedy central. TDS is Paramount's property. The more you know 🌠🦚
Not the place or time for this discussion.
@@dtitus74 Considering this was made a year ago and Comedy Central is using it to get some sort of income during the strike (since the channel is monetized)...
@@dtitus74Jordan Klepper is currently standing with the unions. He recently stated, “I am a part of the writer’s union and also part of (the) actor’s union. I stand with the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and I’m out on the protest line, the picket lines and I’m supporting and standing up for getting a fair deal. I’m also an actor and performer on “The Daily Show” and the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) is standing in solidarity with the WGA as well." This video is owned by Paramount. So, while he is protesting, Paramount is posting reruns of his podcast. Paramount's CEO made a statement saying they're going to rehash content until the strike ends. This is absolutely the time and the place.
In charge of the military?! I certainly hope not. I wouldn't put him in charge of watching paint dry!
Quality tester at KFC would suit him. But even then he'd manage to get them bankrupt.
As a vet, I love this. Army 88M. We all serve our country, and I don't mean just the military. Everyone is integral to a better country. Thanks for giving a realistic voice to people who have served in the military.
i'm dying laughing at the 'biden killed seal team 6' conspiracy theory hahahaha
The guy that actually shot him even had to say "whoa, what?" and he was a Trump supporter. That's hilarious.
Lock Him Up!
Yeah
I agree Biden should be locked up.
👆 👌
“Yo bunkie, I be clapping them big orange cheeks tonight!”
🙏🏼 Hopefully soon! Hunter cannot hide this much for long!
Excellent discussion!
We are wasting a ton of money on someone that will never see jail time.
In consert with military and defend against natural disasters,wow what an expert in english and militia.She rocks!!
Thanks for doing this. I just wish the people who really NEED to watch this would watch it. If what they are doing is “honorable,” why are they hiding their faces when they march down streets? And what’s with all the disrespect for the flag? They are violating the Code of the Flag at every gathering. Do they really hate America and that is their backhanded way of showing that?
If they want a king they are in the wrong country. As for trump and his " witch hunt" I was going to say none of my ancestors took part but I am also descended from Thomas Prence. He may have drowned a few.
EXACTLY
Thanks for pointing out the disrespect of our flag. Selling it for profit. Not. Wearing it as clothing. Bad. I don't think in 41? That they would ever think of a guy riding a dinosaur with a machinegun with flag in back. That is just moronic.
A former CONVICTED General.
They are like the “Volkstrurm” (Old men and boys) the last line of defense.
The most vocal group wins. Apeak up. Others will take courage from it.
Great show! Thank you for a realistic take on what individuals can do. I am planning to find someone running for the local school board that I can support, and spend some time and energy doing that.
This cult is just _adorably_ crazy.
I retired from the Air Force in 2004. I have *always* been a bleeding heart liberal. I was a bleeding heart liberal before, during, and after my service. I also understood *exactly* what my service oath meant. When I was getting married to my late husband and they informed me I was going to be deployed before my wedding, I said, "Yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full", and got married the next day. These militia people have no clue what being in the military means. They have no clue that if the government asks you for your life, you give it. They think it's all me me me. None of them are capable of thinking about anyone but themselves.
Being a military Veteran from TX I completely agree on the nerds and dorks cosplaying to be like me. Really insulting!!!
My son-in-law, an Army officer who served in Iraq, has very strong feelings about keeping Trump out of the White House!
My brother also served in Iraq, and hates Trump.
Ok, I'm going with the idea that Trump has been president since 2021. Unfortunately, this means he can't run again in 2024. Donald, thank you for your service. #22Amendment
Excellent point!!!!
🦅THANKYOU🦅TRUE🦅
Pretty smart. I'll go with that idea too
Very well put but Trump being Trump, feels he should be King and rule as long as he chooses
@@TEXICANROCKNROLL And we mustn't be fooled: that's his actual plan. Remember, the Presidential Records Act says he can.
General Bone Spure. Give him a Benny Hill salute
You mean we could have had Count Down back on MSNBC ?! Wth! Rachel!
Militias start out being protective of community, which isn’t bad. But, the boredom of a stable community allows for the imagination to create enemies that exist in the mind only so that the militia can justify its purpose.
The Militias they talk about in the 2nd Amendment and in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15 in the Constitution is the States' National Guards. These modern militia movement guys today are just a bunch of wannabes playing army.
They are a clubhouse for lonely people not a community service organizations and centered around weapons and bloated sense of self-importance. They would do better by helping keep schools clean, parks, or other numerous volunteer activities.
The National Guard is the "well regulated Militia" in the full sense of the Second Amendment of The Constitution of the United States of America.
Lock 🔐 that man up
❤
MAN???
I served 4yrs in USAF 1964-68. I have not tell anyone of my service unless asked! After returning from S Vietnam to San Francisco Airport and met by a group of people who heckling and Bo'ed me and couple other individuals in uniforms! From that point on I've avoided my service. My two sons know and my wife and other family, few friends who served. If asked I might consider telling but I tend to avoid if able!
It’s easy to convince someone of something. Than it is for the same person to admit they were wrong. 🤷🏼♂️
i bet this Q person (founder of QANON) is just a die hard fan of star trek who loves the character Q.
There's one huge difference between the military and militias that is way too overlooked/not widely understood by the American public: the military has to be politically neutral and carry out the orders of the administration regardless of the political leanings of individual members. This principle of serving the commander in chief, not a party, is so strong that many officers simply abstain from ever casting a vote in an election, on principle. Obviously militias can and often do have clear political leanings and objectives.
The difference is that the National Guard IS the "well regulated Militia" and everyone else in playing fake soldier. Simple.
After 6 years in the Navy from Greenland to Cuba to CA and Hawaii there was one plan: Keep scrubbing, it ain't clean enough lol. The life of an enlisted
As as Active Duty Veteran of the U.S. Navy, I am puzzled by this reference to "Militias." What they describe is what I saw in the Reserves. Reservists met once a month on weekends, then went home the rest of the month. This was not being in the Military, which was a daily experience, not a once a month pretend experience.
