The violation of the First Amendment, by forcefully and violently dispersing a peaceful demonstration and exercise of the right of the people to assemble and air their grievances is the NO 1 issue of these last 10 days, far more important and serious than broken glass and petty criminality by some.

We do not have an America without the Constitution. All else is secondary. The only thing we cannot lose is the Constitution, and the first Amendment is the bedrock of it.

The cretins worry about freedom of speech when they post shit on twitter, and it is flagged, not removed, but don’t say a thing about freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. Then, they forget all about the 2nd Amendment when people get pushed around by the MILITARY!

'I wish you the best': US military adviser resigns after Trump's controversial photo op at church

A Department of Defense adviser has resigned, effective immediately, from the military's science board, citing what he believed to be a violation of conduct from Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.

In his resignation letter to Esper, which was obtained by The Washington Post, James Miller Jr., who served as the US undersecretary of defense for policy from 2012 to 2014, recalled that he swore an oath of office to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" and "to bear true faith and allegiance to the same," similar to what the defense secretary had done before he took office.

"On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath," Miller wrote to Esper.

Miller's reasoning centered on President Donald Trump's visit Monday to St. John's Church in Washington, DC, where peaceful protesters were cleared with tear gas so that he could pose with a Bible for photographs.
