To this point, the military has remained an independent institution that has followed rule of law–the Iraq War, however awful, was legally authorized (note: I am not saying that soldiers haven’t done illegal things, but the military writ large has been beyond the reach of the president to be wielded like a weapon to do explicitly illegal things).

Trump mused bombing antiquities in his presidency, and the military swiftly responded that they are bound not to follow illegal orders.

My fear now is that if military leadership falls into the wrong hands, immunity can be used to argue that the conduct is no longer considered illegal, or the line becomes so blurred that it ceases to functionally exist.

If that happened under a president like Trump, God help us, every horrible nightmare outcome could be on the table.

You know any pastor praising Trump has to be a grifter lol.

It’s the rich man’s philosophy too usually. People aren’t really that great at philosophy.

Okay, but how? How are democrats supposed to pentrated the algorithmically curated propaganda feeds of the right, or otherwise get fair coverage in biased spaces? I’m all for celebrating the many good things the Biden administration has done, but I don’t know a plan to connect this information to the voters who need to be exposed to it most.

I agree but don’t blame dems that they can’t penetrate the propaganda networks and social media spaces owned and dominated by right wingers–they are effectively closed loops at this point.

No, the difference is the Trump actually gave Ivanka and Jared real positions of power in the government while Biden kept his kid out of power like every other normal president we’ve ever had.

Wow, I knew Rogan is a giant, unthinking piece of shit but even I didn’t think he’d stoop this low.
