Joint Statement from Lawmakers Slotkin, Kelly, Crow, Deluzio, Goodlander and Houlahan

“We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation.

“What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty.

“But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity.

“In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated.

“Don’t Give Up the Ship!”

everything that came before is no good... unless he can twist it into his own pretzel... and he's trying desperately to cement HIS laws so they can't be undone. Well, as I see it, one president can (and certainly has) undone everything previous presidents did... I'm sure future presidents can slip his crap back into the swamp where it belongs!

Courage can be contagious. If only even a few of the brain-dead lapdogs were to actually resume a vertical position and recall that they once could use their brains.
