The Pentagon’s investigation of Sen. Mark Kelly over a video that urges American troops to defy “illegal orders” has raised a slew of questions, and some criticism, from legal experts.

Some say the Pentagon is misreading military law to go after Kelly as a retired Navy fighter pilot. Others say the Arizona Democrat cannot be prosecuted as a member of Congress. A group of former military prosecutors insists he did nothing wrong.

The Pentagon announced the investigation last week after Donald Trump’s social media post accusing Kelly — and the five other Democratic lawmakers in the video — of sedition “punishable by DEATH.”

The logic in this is so mind numbing. It bothers me to my core that people see this shit and don’t realize why it’s dumb as fuck.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

i'm less worried about it being dumb as fuck, and more worried about why they now feel so comfortable as to openly peddle their bullshit lies via government sites

Either they themselves are dumb as fuck, or they just don't care because they benefit, because it's hurting the people they hate, or at least the people they're told to hate.

Low education standards and high consumption of propaganda.

Exactly like Hungary, Slovakia, Isreal, and a number of other backsliding Democracies

It's so fucking sad that the website for the presidency is nothing more than Twitter, in more ways than one. There's no professionalism, it garners no respect, it's just laughable. Disgraceful.

idk, there's some solace in them finally taking the masks off atleast.

Even given their horeshit premises that page is comically badly written. I don't even think they used AI, because AI could have done it better.

If Trump did a deal with GoDaddy Airo just think how many slop websites how great America could be /s

INTERNET SAFETY TIP:

Use Tor browser to prevent malicious sites like this one from tracking and surveilling you. Volunteers like me run nodes as a public good. Use them.

That page is so YouTube comment section that I start understanding why there is a war on archive.org. The idea that this kind of stuff is going to be visible long after it's deleted must be troubling even to those that post it.

This might be one of the most batshit insane things I’ve seen in a while

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Is that page for our Hour of Hate?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

Using OUR White House website to spread their filthy propaganda. I can't wait to see these treasonous PedoCons to be begging and crying when they go up against the wall.
