    Incredibly cowardly of AP to not point out that Kelly literally did nothing wrong here. Reminding people that they have to follow the law cannot, ever, under any circumstances, be considered illegal, unless it was somehow being done for purposes of coercion or intimidation. Just saying “You are required to follow the law” is the literal opposite of illegal. Trump calling that “sedition” is an open admission that his administration wants and intends to violate the law at every turn. Otherwise how could it possibly be an attack on the government’s authority?

      All of this administration is fair game for whatever consequences come. Trump should be arrested and tried in international criminal court, outside of the jurisdiction of the USA,l; the next president could easily abduct and deliver him to court proceedings. All very legal apparently.

    Isn’t there an old video somewhere of Hegseth saying that the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders?

      I sincerely doubt anything he has done since his appointment was his idea, except for maybe summoning his generals for his “FAFO” address.

      No one in their right mind can think anything the US armed forces has done under this administration is anywhere near okay.
