Am I missing something? [View all]

"You have the right to not obey illegal orders"

Ya know, I'm not the brightest bulb in the box, but even I can interpret this correctly.

So how come the orange one and his lil minions do not understand what this means?

Their responses have unfortunately crossed the line. Death to elected officials? Unbelievable.

Let me introduce a few new words for the right - Treason, corruption, impeachment.... Oh wait, they should be familiar with impeachment already.

When is this shit going to STOP?????
