Can I be on his jury?
We have to make Jury Nullification so common, that wrongly arrested people won’t take plea bargains, because they stand a better chance with juries that have shown themselves willing to fuck up political prosecutions.
We need to start talking about Jury Nullification, and preparing potential jurors for the massive wave of prosecutions that is coming. We just saw a group of suburbanites sentenced to decades in jail for exercising their 1st Amendment rights, as ANTIFA Terrorists. We’re going to see a lot more of that after the Midterms, when they can’t get what they want from Congress, so they will have to pivot to controlling and punishing through the weaponization of law enforcement.
They’ve got all these profitable concentration camps filled with people who are bringing in a daily stipend from the government. Now that SCOTUS has given permission to deport them all, they MUST be replaced, and “ANTIFA Terrorists” are the perfect boogymen.
They tried to prosecute a guy for starting the big California fires, and 10 jurors said No, a pretty clear indication that the government didn’t have a case, and counted on the jury to just go along with it. Unfortunately, two of them did go along, probably MAGA CHUDS, but ultimately it was a mistrial.
Many federal cases have been shot down at the Grand Jury level, something that was incredibly rare until MAGA came along, and arrogantly thought they’d force everybody else to play along with their atrocities.
MAGA is now using the system to attack normal Americans, not just other politicians that we generally hate anyway. It’s hard to get upset when a Comey or Bolton get slapped around, they deserve it, but when they start throwing soccer moms in prison for decades, just because she had Leftist poetry in her car, it’s time to start destroying the system.
That takes guts, Major Jason Watson.
While I can appreciate that, someone finally made this call publicly, calling for a president who has been committing hundreds of felonies every day that he has been president to finally be impeached?
That takes no courage at all. Finally, at long last, someone has finally stood up and called for the most criminally corrupt president to finally be impeached. That takes no courage at all.
It is, in fact, a great matter of shame that it did not happen on day one, and every day since.
As someone unfamiliar with Air Force ranks, I tried to look up how big a deal the rank of major is. Is this something that is after a year or two in the service? A decade? Are there hundreds of majors in the Air Force? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
Fairly big as they are very close to the top. You’d have to go to a military academy and be in for over a decade.
very is relative.
Finally, someone in the US military with integrity and a backbone.
He won’t be in there much longer unfortunately.
I agree with his sentiment, but I don’t think it’s a good thing for a military to be political.
He did his protest while in uniform, which means he’s representing the military while making political statement.
Even a political military that agrees with me is bad, because they might someday not agree with me. They have more guns than me, so they’d be the ones making political decisions without any regard to whether I agree with them.
He seems to be raising money on sites like gofundme, and will probably start a podcast after he’s discharged. I’m guessing that’s his play. He knows full well this is the end of his military career. Saying he’s “risking everything” seems a little silly. He’s knowingly changing careers.
A lack of political statement by those with the power to help remedy is a statement of politics all on its own.
The lack of Americans voting for people to effect the remedy is an even bigger statement.
Americans are too narcissistic to ever consider that they may have made any bad decisions and so won’t change their own actions to make things better. Instead they just sit around blaming democracy, the free press, the Jews, etc. and slide further into fascism.
Please direct me to the nearest “vote right now” station
Thinking democracy is supposed to be about “having it your way and right away” is why democracy is failing in the US. That’s the Burger King slogan, not how democracy works.
Americans don’t approach voting as making a decision, y’all think of it more like buying a product. You act like consumers, not like citizens with a duty.
Democracy is a grind. You vote in every election over decades. You hold your nose and vote for the least worst option so there will be a better least worst option in the next election. You’re supposed to vote as part of your duty as a citizen, to be the ultimate check on power. Authoritarian populists lie and say “vote for me and you’ll never need to vote again” to appeal to the entitled laziness of Americans, and it works.
The narcissism of Americans mean they can’t compromise and vote for someone unless they like them, want to have a beer with them, say the right slogans, or whatever. It’s all about being coded to whatever aesthetic the base likes. Policies, checks on power, rights, these things don’t motivate Americans to vote. Americans are primarily motivated by narcissism so they vote (or not vote) according to how it will appear to their peer group.

There’s a Spotfund by “DOOR LLC”, I’m not familiar with the platform or the sponsor.
Idk anything about DOOR LLC, but one must admire a soldier actually committing to his oath.
One must also hope that if this one soldier is standing up to make this statement, that there’s thousands more who share the sentiment too, and he haven’t heard from them yet.
With any luck, this’ll become a trend.
Veterans have been speaking out this whole time. The media probably tries to keep that quiet, and alternative streams of information probably don’t focus much on what vets say, unless they’re specifically vet-focused in which case most people in leftist spaces probably don’t hear about them. But vets have been speaking up all along.
It’s more rare for someone active duty, because not only are they prohibited by the UCMJ from speaking against the President, VP, or SecDef (since they’re in the chain of command), but also it’s prohibited to take part in any political activity in uniform. The reasoning is basically that anyone in uniform is a representative of the military itself, and therefore not supposed to take part in partisan activities or express a political opinion in the capacity of being a service member.
Active duty can go to protests and do all that, but they’re supposed to do so in civilian attire and not bring attention to their military status.
So my thoughts are a lot of servicemembers are opposed to what’s happening, but even if they’re protesting they’re keeping quiet about their military status. Also to avoid bringing attention to themselves, cause if their chain of command finds out they can make their lives hell even without hitting them with the book.
So what this guy is doing is ballsy. He could very easily be stripped of rank, lose his commission, or be sent to the brig. Honestly the latter is most likely because the other two would take an act of congress since he’s an officer, but with this congress I wouldn’t be surprised to see it.
