The Commander-in-Chief is in charge of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and all military.

So, if the nation was under threat, why did he not consult the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

Why did he call the Proud Boys, the 3-Percenters, the Oath Keepers, and Q to come and help him?

Many of them said they came to Washington because he asked them to. He was their Commander-in-Chief.

Did it never cross their minds that he had the entire military at his disposal? Why would he call them? What could they do that the US Military could not do? I suppose they could follow illegal orders?

5. I'm thinking the military could do some serious damage. They have unlimited resources.

The bloated military budget is why we don't have Medicare for all and free 4 years college tuition or other training that would lead to gainful employment. .

Who will the vast majority of the military get behind, the elected leader or a disgruntled ego maniac, cheesy, second hand reality TV performance artist?

7. We tend to think of the military as one cohesive unit...

But, a tyrant would only need one General that was willing to command a battalion to surround the Capitol and to halt all government functions. If that were to happen, the rest of the military would be frozen into inaction. They would not disobey what they thought was a legal order. It is not impossible.

False premise, ludicrously stupid conclusion(s).

I assume they are referring to President Trump and the alleged 1/6/21 "insurrection" here, but unless I missed a major story in the news, the DUmmy needs to provide proof that any calls went out from President Trump to the radical groups listed in his posting.

Proof and evidence are Reich-Wing.
