      Opposite statements. Either they follow orders or they are loyal to the constitution. Can’t do both right now.

      I can’t fathom the industrial amounts of pure propagandium that Americans must have been huffing to think the military will ever be on their side. Blind and unconditional obedience is literally the only way militaries can function properly and everything about them is organized to promote that.

      US military apologists (even before Trump) will say “but soldiers are legally obligated to follow the constitution first and must refuse unlawful orders” like Abu Ghraib didn’t happen in my lifetime. We all know that 90 % of soldiers will wipe themselves with the original copy of the declaration of independence if Trump orders them to. And those that refuse will be dishonorably discharged, or worse.

        Technically Kansas has beach front property, rivers and lakes have beaches. Kansas is lacking oceanfront property though.

        Source: I am a Californian who gets impressed by a puddle of water, I know what a body of water looks like and the features common to them.

          Sorry, my bad…

          Was, of course, thinking “oceanfront” but stupidly typed “beach front” instead… 🤦‍♀️ 🙄

            Hey it could be worse, you could be the jackass who named an area Mentone “beach” here in San Bernardino, fun fact it’s not a fucken beach. Forest falls is more of a beach.

                You can have beaches pretty far inland all it since all a beach is is some sand on the shore of a water feature. The problem is that the water feature didn’t really have anything that could be called a beach, which is funny cause some spots along Green Spot practically right next store do have what I’d call a beach.
