#Walz hits #Trump for saying he would use the military against 'the enemy from within':
"As someone who wore this nation's uniform proudly, as someone who now is the commander in chief of the Minnesota Nat Guard, the idea of sending US military personnel against Amer. citizens makes me sick to my stomach. I'll tell you what, we'll let the lawyers decide if what he said was treason, but what I know is it's a call for violence, plain & simple, and it's pretty damn un-American"
@GottaLaff As a veteran, it's an illegal order, and should be disregarded. Personally, I'd refuse to carry it out.
@TheNovemberMan @GottaLaff Yes, it’s a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
@gdinwiddie @TheNovemberMan @GottaLaff But isn’t the National Guard a loophole in the Posse Comitatus act?
(Which sadly led to National Guard killings at Kent State)
@ironcladlou @TheNovemberMan @GottaLaff
The National Guard are state militias. The President only oversees the NG of the District of Columbia.
@GottaLaff #Walz is right Trump’s threat to use the military is a call to #Violence
@GottaLaff Trump is unfit for office.
@GottaLaff
...and he's on bail, too. Why do they handle this guy with kid gloves?
@GottaLaff Everyone in uniform took an oath and swore to follow lawful orders. If you follow an unlawful order and break the law, you have no protection under the law. Wearing the uniform does not protect you from court. There are only certain very specific instances where a president of the United States can activate the military against civilians within the country, and they involve insurrection.
Michael Flynn's family participates in his treason.

@Npars01 @GottaLaff
Indict and imprison Flynn for insurrection and treason. Good God just do it already. I don't get why we taxpayers are paying this psycho a pension to destroy us. It's madness.
@GottaLaff he is setting up a violence within our country to let his comrade Putin in.
@GottaLaff this is absolutely right but I’m still a little nervous that Walz may be another stealth foreign policy hawk after he said the expansion of Israel is necessary. I don’t think that was a slip.
@GottaLaff so relieved someone actually used the word treason…long overdue.
