Subj : Democrat Protesters To : Dan Cross From : Lee Lofaso Date : Mon Jun 08 2020 03:16 pm Hello Dan, >LL>Which would you rather be? A saint or a sinner? > >You're just a sanctimonious douche. Trump >asked for 10,000 active duty troops and got >shouted down by Milley. General Milley took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, yet refused to do so, as shown by his actions. General Mark Milley, decked out in combat fatigues, marched lock-step with Donald Trump to the church as orders were given for National Guard to open fire on peaceful protesters (mostly women and children, along with clergy). Did Donald Trump fire General Milley after he wrote a memo and said a few words? Nope. General Milley is still Trump's guy. As if nothing has happened to spoil their fine relationship. What a guy! Rather than defending the Constitution of the United States, the thing to do is to support and defend the president! After all, the president doesn't care about the Constitution of the United States, as shown by his hatred of "we the people." >Esper got slapped down by the chiefs, which is why you don't >see troops confronted with the awful choice of potentially starting a coup > by disobeying illegal orders. Like your dear friend Milley, Esper also took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States rather than the president. But like Milley, he chose to do nothing to stop the president from having his way in going to war against the American people. So, by your lights it is perfectly okay for Americans to kill other Americans, as they would only be "following orders" of a president gone mad. That line of defense did not work out so well for Germans who were prosecuted at Nuremburg. I wonder how well that defense will work out for those who followed the illegal orders of their commander-in-chief? General Honor‚ (who also took the same oath as you) had the good sense not to obey the illegal orders given to him by Governor "Bobby" Jindal, who wanted National Guardsmen to use live ammo to kill young black boys who were looting department stores in New Orleans. Talk about a helluva price to pay for stealing shoes, wouldn't you say? Back to the crowd at St. John's church - You know as well as I do that nobody in that crowd deserved to be shot by rubber bullets, pepper spray, or tear gas. It was a peaceful protest, allowed under our US Constitution, and your fine president and fellow officers could have cared less. They did what they did because the US Constitution means nothing to them. And peoples lives mean even less. Black Lives Matter. To all of us. Not just to blacks. We the people have a Constitutional right to exercise *all* freedoms noted. You might want to take some time and actually read what the US Constitution says, including all the amendments. You can start with the Preamble and go from there. It should not take you long to finish, as the US Constitution is less than 5,000 words total (including amendments). >The interplay between civilian and military leadership is subtle and > requires great care to avoid setting a precedent that you clearly >cannot fathom the consequences of. It doesn't take much to understand that murder is murder. I condemn *all* acts of violence. So should you, and everyone else. Hitler needed an excuse to give him what he wanted. He blamed the Jews, and the Communists, for all Germany's problems. So what did he do? He gave Germans `The Night of the Long Knives'. Don't think it can't happen here? There were protests in over 650 cities throughout this country last night. Even more are expected tonight. The mayor of Minneapolis has given up on it, deciding to disband the entire police force. The mayor of NYC is thinking about defunding his city's police force, although he did not say by how much. What is going to happen when nobody is left to protect the general public from itself? America will have its own version of fascism. Fascism with a smile. A huge orange grin smiling at ya.
