Fuck the Marvel Multiverse is getting crazy with the unbelievable stuff.

Ohhhh shit boys, get ready!

Democratic leadership is about to let loose with the... checks notes .. strongly worded letter!

Yes, absolutely, 100%.

FAA has from the beginning been very forceful in asserting that it is the sole authority for things attempting to defy gravity.

On the flip side though, the GOP stopped caring about anything courts say.

So. Guess we'll see how this plays out for the next few years at least.

Find one close to you, find one that isn't run by a trash company. Find a few more and set them up as your upstream. Use them.

Google's Atlanta Data Center has been doing this for 18 years...

It's not new nor the only one doing it, but it's disappointing that people consider it new.

Christian rent a cop gone hard core MAGA treasonous family murderer.

Checks out.

Remember kids, religion isn't spread by the quality of its truth, but by the quality of its violence.

Abraham's Nazis are more accurate.

Ok, there is a subtle but distinct difference between 'Slow to realize' and 'Didn't care'

Folks should learn to tell the difference.

Typically.

This is Musk's AI project though, he's not going to wait to secure power or permits or environmental impact studies or anything like that...

Did Jenson deliver the G100s? Grab some generators and get pumping.

Many U.S. service members are never told this clearly enough, or at all:

You are not only allowed to refuse an unlawful order — you are obligated to.

This is not insubordination. It’s not desertion. It’s not weakness. It is a legally protected act of courage that upholds the very oath you swore to the Constitution of the United States.

This post lays out everything:

What counts as an unlawful order

The exact UCMJ articles and their full legal language

Real-world military court precedents

Interpretations from military law

Resources and steps to protect yourself and others

If you're serving and something doesn’t feel right, or if you’ve ever wondered, “Would I be punished for refusing an illegal command?”, read this. The law is on your side.

What Makes an Order Unlawful?

An unlawful order is any order that:

Violates U.S. federal law or the Constitution

Violates international law (such as the Geneva Conventions)

Requires or leads to war crimes, torture, violence against civilians, or discriminatory actions

Has no legitimate military objective or is abusive

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Section 18.6.1: "Members of the armed forces are bound to obey only lawful orders. An order that violates the law of war is unlawful and must not be obeyed."

UCMJ: What the Law Says

Article 90 – Willfully Disobeying a Superior Commissioned Officer 10 U.S. Code § 890

"Any person subject to this chapter who willfully disobeys a lawful command of that person's superior commissioned officer shall be punished..."

Key: This only applies to lawful commands.

Article 91 – Insubordination Toward Warrant, NCO, or Petty Officer 10 U.S. Code § 891

"...willfully disobeys the lawful order of a warrant officer, noncommissioned officer, or petty officer..."

Key: Again, the term lawful is crucial. Unlawful orders are not protected by this article.

Article 92 – Failure to Obey Order or Regulation 10 U.S. Code § 892

"Any person... who violates or fails to obey any lawful general order or regulation... shall be punished..."

Key: Lawful orders only. Refusal of an unlawful order is not a violation.

Real Cases That Set the Standard

United States v. Calley (1971) – My Lai Massacre Lt. William Calley was convicted for murdering unarmed Vietnamese civilians under orders.

Verdict: Following manifestly unlawful orders is not a defense.

United States v. Keenan (1969) Pfc. Keenan killed a civilian under a direct order from a sergeant.

Court ruling: "A soldier is not a robot. He is a reasoning agent. The law does not permit a soldier to obey an order that he knows, or should know, is illegal."

Nuremberg Principle IV (International Law)

"The fact that a person acted pursuant to the order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."

Takeaway: If you can recognize that an order is wrong, you're not only allowed to refuse — you're expected to.

What to Do If You Receive an Unlawful Order

Ask for clarification Politely ask the superior to explain how the order aligns with UCMJ or ROE.

Document everything Keep records: time, date, location, order content, witnesses, and your response.

Report it Use your chain of command or report directly to the Inspector General (IG).

Get legal help immediately Request a JAG attorney. Do not provide statements until you’ve been advised.

Legal Protection for Refusal and Reporting

You are legally protected from retaliation for reporting unlawful actions.

10 U.S. Code § 1034 – Military Whistleblower Protection Act Protects service members who report:

Illegal orders

Violations of UCMJ or federal law

Fraud, abuse, or misconduct

Legal and Moral Foundations at a Glance

UCMJ Articles 90, 91, 92: Only lawful orders are enforceable

DoD Law of War Manual § 18.6.1: Duty to disobey unlawful orders

Nuremberg Principle IV: You’re personally accountable under international law

10 U.S. Code § 1034: You are protected if you speak out

Final Message to All Service Members

You did not swear an oath to a commander. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

Following a clearly unlawful order doesn’t protect you — it makes you legally and morally responsible.

Refusing such an order is not insubordination. It is:

Leadership

Honor

Courage

Constitutionally backed military service

If you or someone you know is in this situation: speak up, write it down, seek support, and do not stay silent.

You are not alone. You are protected. And you are doing the right thing.

Please share, repost, and spread this to help educate support, and save our brothers and sisters in arms from becoming victims of ignorance

orange leader

Ah hem, refer to him with the respect the office deserves.

It's Mustard Mussolini to you peasant.

Sounds a lot like Chuck Schumer who writes strongly worded letters and needs to get to the bottom of things.

Because when he was a freshman in Congress 60 years ago, that made a difference. /s

Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, John Fetterman.

It's a fucking who's who of strawmen conservative bootlickers.

They'll give the twats who did this a medal.

True, but explaining that to the orange nosed ass-kissers of the Mustard Mussolini won't get us anywhere.

Americans need to remember lessons of the past. All of Europe and America at the time couldn't "negotiate" with Nazis. Only thing they understood was a bayonet in the gut.

Modern Nazis are the same way.

Like Karl Popper's Paradox of Tolerance... The only way to ensure tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.

The Mustard Mussolini is more of a Scooby Doo villain. Only the monster costume is his own skin.

Cancel the order.

Europe has some good fighters. Besides you don't want the ones with the Killswitch DRM on them.

People get all bent outta shape with DRM on their steam games, but fighter jets? Throws billions in the air

Let me see if I can get this right...

"Oh that's out of context" "We didn't see the entire thing, we don't know what the officer saw" "Officer attempts to stop Foreign propagandists, is defamed in fake news, has to take weeks off on paid emotional leave, GoFundMe to follow"

One of those will be on the Fox headlines.

Breaking News: Reporters who are constantly told they are "Public Enemy #1" by administration for over 8 years question if the administration actually likes them.

As an American, I have no faith in any of us either.

So I'll tell you the real scary secret...

This is exactly what a lot of them voted for. This is exactly what a lot of them have been wanting.
