Establishment Clause
The First Amendment’s Establishment Clause prohibits the government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion.

Ballin’ with Pete Hegseth

[….]

Ever thought of holding an open public town hall in, you know, Missouri? Just asking.

Some of the responses:

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I was like Obama who was actually a shot caller. #YouAreTheCompanyYouKeep #NotAFlex

President Barack Obama (D) [2013 file photo].

Not quite the flex you think it is, Eric. “Ballin’”🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Birds of a feather.

didja get him drunk first

Ballin’ requires balls. You’re just cosplaying. 🤡

Winner gets the minors! 👍🏼🤡

A bottle of Bourbon to the winner?

Whole lot of whiskey sweat there

Working hard for your constituents I see 🙄

Bench warmers

Pete just does it all! Pull ups. Basketball. Blowing up boats and double taps.
What a guy.

You thought this post cooked.

And the bro-dude manosphere goes wild with excitement!

God you’re tedious

Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Wee see what you did there.

Wow, do you guys actually work?

You guys got nothing better to do? Wild!

We are judged by the company we keep. You are not in good company.

That is, perhaps, a poor use of words or did you intend them to come off that way?

Go figure out a health care plan.

That’s nice. Miisiouran here trying to pay my bills. You’re out of touch.

Still waiting for you to do anything useful for the people of Missouri.

Who cares?

Photo ops, all day everyday. Look where I am, look who I’m with etc. Mediocre men of a feather…

Do you live in Missouri?

So cringe.

Don’t you have better things to do? Like fighting for the rights, healthcare benefits, etc. for the people from Missouri?
No… let’s play fucking basketball with pickled Pete.

Since you are clueless- you likely think this is a flex. It ain’t dude

Pete Hegseth (r).

Weaponization of the law.

This morning:

Department of War @DeptofWar

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.

The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.

All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

10:50 AM · Nov 24, 2025

“…otherwise lawful order.”

Responses on social media:

Tell us you don’t know the difference between “unlawful order” and “order” without telling us

This is hilarious. He didn’t do anything illegal by reminding those in active duty service that they have an obligation to follow the constitution and that they have not only the right, but the duty to ignore UNLAWFUL orders.

“Orders are presumed to be lawful…” except when it’s obvious that they are not. Service members have an obligation to refuse unlawful orders.

Sound like everyone is on the same page
Mark Kelly: “You have an obligation to refuse illegal orders”
SECWAR: “You must obey legal orders”
What’s the issue?

He reminded service members that their oath is to the Constitution, not to any individual leader. That is literally what every officer is trained to uphold. There is nothing unlawful about reminding troops of constitutional principles. In fact, it’s encouraged in military ethics training because the military’s loyalty must always be to the Constitution above any person or political figure.

the troops take an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not to the president as an individual. While the oath includes a pledge to “obey the orders of the President,” it is in the context of following LAWFUL orders according to the Constitution and the UMCJ.
Kelly was reminding the troops of their oath and to protect what they’ve earned.

25 years of dedicated service to our military including combat missions during the Gulf war. During his Navy career, Kelly received two Defense Superior Service Medals; one Legion of Merit; two Distinguished Flying Crosses; four Air Medals (two individual/two strike flight) with Combat “V”; two Navy Commendation Medals, (one with combat “V”); one Navy Achievement Medal; two Southwest Asia Service Medals; one Navy Expeditionary Medal; two Sea Service Deployment Ribbons; a NASA Distinguished Service Medal; and an Overseas Service Ribbon. Now he faces political retribution from the appointed civilian figurehead in charge of the “Department of War”. Thanks for your service, though.

“orders are presumed to be lawful”
99.9% of the time, this is correct. But presumption is not legally binding. Orders are lawful unless they’re very clearly not. So, advising to not follow **unlawful** orders has absolutely no conflict. They can try bringing it to UCMJ, but it’ll fall through without merit.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the War Department.

What’s the department of war? Because we’ll never hear that name again in three years.

Did you type this with a straight face?

Whiskey Pete has fallen off the wagon.

I’d be surprised if there’s anybody left in the JAG corps competent enough to take something like this on let alone excessively prosecute him.

Time to remember your oath of office, members of the department. You yourselves are gonna be liable for what you do. Captain Kelly is trying to remind you of that.

I think the most laughable part of that release is where they talk about the investigation being “impartial”. There’s nothing impartial about any of this. It’s Whiskey Pete continuing the Orange Donald’s campaign of retaliation. This has nothing to do with right or wrong…it’s good old fashioned revenge.

Ol Pete needs to lay off the whiskey for a few days and sober up. This is pure comedy at this point.

This isn’t an official department. Quit posing as such.

What a load of crap lol. Talk about political retribution just for what the ucmj already states. Any common sense judge would just throw any case out for wasting a court’s time. Oh did you also forget, it’s still the Department of Defense without Congressional action……

If only the top JAG officers weren’t fired, they’d be able to weigh in.

Order is Order, duty is duty.

[….]
On following orders:

Fact Sheet: “Following Orders” Is No Defense to War Crimes: The Duty to Disobey Illegal Military Orders

Service members of the United States Armed Forces are required to disobey orders that violate the law. As retired Marine Corps General John Allen recently said: “When we swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution…one of those is to ensure that we do not obey illegal orders.” While the Uniform Code of Military Justice demands obedience to the lawful orders of a superior commissioned officer, it equally demands disobedience when the order given is illegal. Military leaders such as Lieutenant General Sean MacFarland have spoken out to reaffirm that the U.S. military will not commit war crimes: “We are bound by the laws of armed conflict. And you know at the end of the day, it doesn’t only matter if you win, it matters how you win.” Both international and domestic courts have a robust history of convicting service members who carried out unlawful orders. When former Nazis claimed to have just been following orders, this defense was unequivocally rejected during the Nuremberg trials.

[….]

Principles of International Law Recognized in the Charter of the
Nürnberg Tribunal and in the Judgment of the Tribunal
1950

[….]

Principle IV

The fact that a person acted pursuant to 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.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth @SecDef

Due to increased threats to federal law enforcement officers and federal buildings, approximately 700 active-duty U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton are being deployed to Los Angeles to restore order.

We have an obligation to defend federal law enforcement officers – even if Gavin Newsom will not.

5:24 PM · Jun 9, 2025

“…U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton are being deployed to Los Angeles to restore order…” Read the act, moron.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

“If they spit, we will hit.” This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!

“…But not in the Trump Administration…” Well, actually, yes. It is the Trump Administration and it is happening now. The key is to create a free society where people don’t feel the need to spit.

Eric Schmitt
[January 8, 2025]
Nope. Sorry. We’re not doing this.
You don’t try to “reason” with rioters and anarchists.
We need arrests and deportations. Now.
[….]

Right, all those masked ICE agents showing up at elementary schools. Oh, wait…

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

“Rioting is the language of the unheard.” -MLK

You might want to read what Los Angeles Archbishop Gomez said on this issue. Thoughtfully written. You can go to the website of The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to access his statement.

just like the j6 rioters, right?

Granting Pardons And Commutation Of Sentences For Certain Offenses Relating To The Events At Or Near The United States Capitol On January 6, 2021

Yeah, right.

millions of Americans watched J6 unfold in real time. Millions of people, including Republicans, were shocked and disgusted that Trump did not activate the military to protect our Capitol on J6. These were insurrectionists that beat police and sent them to the hospital. They damaged our capitol and threatened our VP. I am not a fan of Pence but he was elected as VP and was following protocol, the law. We must respect that. In the meantime, where is the video of all these LA riots?? I can’t find riot video even on FOX. Just because you don’t like the truth does not mean the rest of us will stop bringing up J6. They were traitors! History is NOT on your side.

What happened to “states rights”?

Take a history lesson. Learn about Kent State May 4, 1970. We don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

States rights, huh, Eric?…

Rather, you pardon 1500 of them the moment you assume office.

We see what you did there.

Maybe should have done this Jan 6th …

Except we all have access to the same internet. We can see in real time how the protests were peaceful until Trump got involved- something he seems to have a track record of.
Even the LAPD said the protesters were peaceful. And now we have Hegseth threatening to mobilize the Marines against US citizens for exercising their right to protest.

Trump needs to go there like he did in DC with his Bible and pound his chest. That would get rid of the rioters.

Upside down Bible.

You are in the wrong Schmitt. No reason for armed National Guards. Have ICE unmask themselves and do the job they were hired to do. But peacefully and respectfully. These have been peaceful protest..which every American has that right.

Amendment I – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Oh Eric Schmitt you are the epitome of “the calls are coming from inside the house”!

Yes, yes they are.

What about Jan 6? He didn’t seem to want law and order on that insurrection day. Your logic makes no sense.

It was just tourist visiting LA and the fires were a movie set. Whoever is arrested should be released just like J6 people.

We see what you did there.

And yet you were notably silent about J6, huh?

And yet you were notably silent about J6, huh?

That’s true Eric, you are not doing anything useful.

You are a poor excuse for an attorney and an even poorer excuse for a human being. You should be disbarred and disgraced. Now

Are you referring to the Jan 6 rioters who tried to overthrow the government?
The ones that were ignored and later pardoned by Trump?
No?
Why not?.

Oh, you think the government should actively increase unrest? You sad, sad man.

How about the J6 seditionists?

Ah yes, the Attorney General who wants to skip trials and go straight to deportations. You don’t “reason” with citizens, you just round them up? That’s not law and order; that’s authoritarian cosplay. The Constitution isn’t optional just because you’re scared of protest. Maybe brush up on the Bill of Rights before pretending to defend America.

How much are we paying the January 6th insurrectionists after they were pardoned, Eric?
Always hypocritically shitting the bed aren’t you?
I hate to say it but you are way worse than Hawley and he was the one scurrying through the hallways like a scared bunny on January 6th.

They neither needed nor wanted the federal “assistance”, it was under control and you escalated it – to serve your narrative and cause a crisis. Which is fine for both sides – because your guys running around masked and unbadged are unhinged, just like you.

What are you going to do when it’s here? Constitution or Trumpanzee?

OH, wittle Eric, this administration created this situation. You’ll be remembered for being on the wrong aide of history just like Brown Shirts, the SS, Borman, Himmler, Goebbels, Goring, etc.

Yet, the J6 criminals were pardoned and you said nothing. You’re a hypocrite and your words are hollow and your intention is only to inflame this country. You are a disgrace Senator.

Build a giant pen in the desert and put all of them in it. This is civil war and needs to dealt with. Abolish the democrat party as a subversive terrorist organization and arrest its leadership and exile them.

Old school, eh? Did not see that coming.

Nope? You don’t want reduced tensions with American citizens? You want more tension and violence? You’re disgusting

You don’t purposely invade a city in military gear and act like they are the aggressors.

Your own post is verbal violence, and propaganda, and very much like many. many posts you have made in this and your Senator pages. You are an expert in blaming people for things you, your party and your leader have actually done or encouraged. You will lie, twist facts and blame anyone handy. By your own words, in this post, it is clear that you WANT internal tension and unrest, not peaceful discourse and petition. Why else would you try to force even more hate and anger than you have already, with slurs untruths and verbal violence, like this post?

You sure didn’t care when your boss freed 1500 convicted felons who actually DID try to overthrow the government. Traitorous POS.

You are such a cowardly piece of shit. You’ll support sending masked gangs into neighborhoods to send people to prisons in El Salvador, but when people fight back they are anarchists.

Schmitt all in on fascism…..militarized policing….no coordination with state leaders for these raids….just move on in like they are fighting the Taliban…..so much for state’s rights……we have seen free press denigrated, judicial system denigrated, institutions denigrated…..only a matter of time when military is used on US citizens…….all about stoking fear and power…..just days away from the North Korean style parade costing taxpayers 45+ million to stroke the ego of a malignant narcissist…….
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states’ rights.”
Kristi Noem

Eric Schmitt hasn’t met a peaceful protester he wouldn’t shoot.

Nope. We’re not doing this. YOU don’t get to mislabel – indeed, libel peaceful, righteous protesters for justice, as “rioters and anarchists.” How sad that you have once again betrayed the basic precept of your Jesuit education: Men and women for others.

Ummm what about the Jan 6 rioters? Where are they going to be deported to?

You misspelled federal overreach and violating citizens right to free speech.
Look at Noem’s 2024 tweet criticizing Biden relating to employing the national guard. So ridiculously hypocritical.

No one is rioting or being anarchists. The correct process per the law needs to be followed. Grow the f up. I know for a fact you wouldn’t allow a masked person to take your family member without identifying themselves and having paperwork. You’d lose your mind. Stop attacking people for protesting.

Oh dear, you really think that shooting chemical weapons at peaceful protesters was justified. Have I got some bad news for you about who broke the law. Hint: it’s was ICE.

You’re a real asshole, Eric. Ever been to church or opened a Bible?

It’s called demonstrating against an authoritarian administration. This is America, not Communist China.

Ask Eric Schmitt (r) about foreign ownership of farm land in Missouri.

Obviously, you are choosing Trump and party over the Constitution and Country.

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

What’d you like about him? His Nazi tattoos? His sexual assaults? Drunkenness?

You just confirmed an alcoholic, rapist, who has never commanded anything larger than a platoon to secretary of defense. This is criminal neglegence.

Unqualified. Cheat. Thief. Yet you confirmed him like Trump’s good little boy.

you should be disgusted with yourself for supporting someone as hilariously unqualified as hegseth. truly running this country to the ground

Sir. I am a Missourian and a lifelong Republican. I am also a sexual assault survivor I will not forget your vote on Hegeseth. Shame on you. Nothing I can do about that now, except to not vote for you ever again, and hopefully God will judge you accordingly.

You are now responsible for putting an abusive alcoholic in one of the highest positions of power.

What a joke!

Well with the GOP bar being so low he can stumble and crawl to it.

Eric Schmitt did a useless job confirming the least qualified SecDef in history.

Xi is celebrating [….]

Eric Schmitt YOU HAVE REACHED A NEW LOW- even other Republicans had the bravery to vote against confirmation.

Just f’ing incredible- to confirm an alcoholic, domestic abuser and is the least qualified militarily to be in charge of Defense. All because Trump liked him on Fox.

What a whore for your leader. What an unqualified person. Something you are familiar with.

A drunk rapist. You’re disgusting.

You’re a fuck up. You’re incapable of thinking for yourself and are just a pussy puppet doing what you’re scared into doing. You don’t represent the people of Missouri or this country. You just made us weak. You would’ve done better voting for Frank Burns or Gomer Pyle.

[….]

Some of the responses:

they have to dumb it down for their cult.

77% of AMERICANS DISAGREE!!!! [….]

So, republicans want to put the Fox News drunkard in charge of the military right? What could possibly go wrong?

“Faux News channel, fascist groupies” – protest sign, circa 2003- 2004.

Are you suggesting our military is weak?

he sure in the hell is. I’m letting everyone on Whiteman AFB that Alford knows they are not good enough. The gutless drop out, never served, tv hack thinks they are not capable.

as you know, we have the most capable fighting force the world has ever known. To suggest otherwise is giving comfort to our enemies.

absolutely. We have spineless politicians that put us at risk every day with their pandering trash.

Alford sure loves to take credit for Whitman but craps on them every chance he gets.

I thought MAGA voted for no more war?

Actually using a breitbart article. Wow.

WOKE? Whatever Offends Klansmen Easily

Alford wants everyone to be stupid and obedient.

brightfart? nonsense… unqualified

WOKE. The chant of every weak, spineless, finger pointing puppet. Alford wants a drinking buddy.
This will be the beginning of the end of Alford’s embarrassing reign of stupidity

Pete Hegseth is Totally Unqualified to be Secretary of Defense . Not to Mention a Total POS ! There Are A LOT of Much Better Choices for That Position ! I Hope He Is Rejected ! [….]

you just described Alford. The unqualified hacks have to stick together.

Supporting an abuser, great job Marky Mark!! [….]

Here is an idea, tv puppet. Get another one of those taxpayer funded camera crews of yours and strut right into the Pentagon and start telling them they suck and are not lethal. Report back on how that goes.
Better yet, why don’t strut your 5’ ass into some of the local watering holes around all of our military installations and start telling them they are all a bunch of woke sissies and not lethal. You are a coward

Not happy.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2024 file photo]

This morning, Eric Schmitt (r) tried to play old media to prop up Donald Trump’s (r) bizarre nominee for Secretary of Defense:

Aaron Rupar ‪@atrupar.com‬
Sen. Eric Schmitt on Pete Hegseth: “Ultimately, this is a decision that President Trump made to bring in another disrupter … he’s not been charged with anything. I think that’s important.”
[….]
November 24, 2024 at 9:18 AM

Some of the responses:

The bar is soooo low.[….]

In fascism it normally is

Senator, do better. He has an NDA with the victim & a settlement. You are saying money wins over the truth? Also, Hegseth is not qualified to lead the DoD. [….]

Well, Eric…guess who 𝙝𝙖𝙨 been charged with something…

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check. Arraignment. Check.

It’s been so ridiculous watching these people scramble through their minds for just the right amount of word soup to promote someone they all think is garbage.

Disrupter is the new rapist.

Neither was Jack the Ripper.

Tonight on the History Channel, “Jack the Ripper, the Disrupter of Whitechapel.”

Me imagining writing ‘I’ve not been charged with anything’ on my resume.

But the president he supports IS a felon.

Just a detailed police report. As if it needed said again, they don’t actually “back the blue.”

If being a “disruptor” is all it takes, my dog’s farts would be perfect for every Trump cabinet pick.

Sick

Disrupter of the feeling of safety any woman has found before he enters the room.

I will always find it amazing how they are able whitewash everything Trump does

Pathetic.

“We should give him credit for successfully paying to make a problem go away!”

The rabbit hole has become a bottomless pit. No matter how low they go, they just keep digging deeper. When will they wake up to what they are doing? Idiots. Power and money rule their lives.

it’s all so absurd and Orwellian. I mean, for one thing, trump *has* been charged with–and convicted of!– crimes. So being charged with crimes actually doesn’t matter either.

“And if he was charged with anything, that would also not be important.”

My goodness.. unbelievable how one man has lowered our standards so far. Nothing matters anymore.

This is the “Boys Will Be Boys” Cabinet.

Republicans falling all over themselves to toe the Trump line. Donald’s hiring sex offenders, racists, and totally unqualified minions to key positions, but hey, the government needs “shaking up” somehow, and they’ll be the ones doing that.

My oh my, how low the Repugs have stooped. Calling a rapist a “disrupter.”

“The Truth does not matter, there is only the Power of men.”

Well beyond the “hasn’t been charged with anything” – that’s the bar(?), what is he “disrupting”, and what is he disrupting to? Somehow just “disrupting” is presented as a positive [….]. Hitler was disruptive.

We don’t need a disrupter ,we need real leadership. Why do republicans think this is ok ?

The party of the lowest standards

I mean, I have a fairly large circle of friends and none of them have even been accused of sex crimes.

Republicans lower the bar, move the goal posts, whatever phucking term for having no red line for their depravity and hypocrisy. They live in a bottomless echo chamber.

“He’s not been charged with anything” is the lowest imaginable bar for appointment to a high level federal position that I’ve ever seen.

So, if he was charged with something, he would be disqualified from a position in the administration. Especially if he was CONVICTED of a felony. ESPECIALLY if he was convicted on 34 felonies! But nobody is that unqualified, right? Right?

“I’ve not seen the police report” They never care to read anything damaging.

Eric Schmitt is a jackass himself – ask anyone from MO.

Yep.

What an asshole!

The Republican litmus test these days is to perhaps draw the line if a nominee has been charged with an offence.
What a sad country we live in.

The way they label a REPUBLICAN woman a liar. Conservative women, take note. It’s your *gender* than makes you unreliable.

Just because you carry their water doesn’t mean you’ll get a sip.

Eric Schmitt is just as corrupt as the rest of them. He has his own scandals, so he should fit right in.

What a fool this Schmitt is. I didn’t realize the bar was set so low that only being actually charged with a crime was a disqualification…and of course we sure know that isn’t even true for these fucks.

Ah … another one who repeats the Republican talking point to stay in DT’s good graces.
Disgusting

“Divisive DEI is dividing our military” LOL
Moron

“The President has a fetish for these kinda folks, it’s not our place to block it.”

yeah, let’s disrupt our national security and see
what happens

He hasn’t read the police report

He doesn’t really care

Eric Schmitt my other fascist senator.

“I’ve not seen the report”
We’ve ALL seen the report!
Maybe he should resign if he’s that incompetent!!

Someone on the show should have read the police report to him on camera.
