With probation & no jail time. That's a Hunter level sweetheart deal.
Felonies are awesome. Republicans don't have to follow laws in Old Salt's FoxNation world.
You should call your old school, and demand that High School kids have
AT LEAST two felonies on their records before gaining admittance.
nah, what a football coach famously said in response to a question why the team wasn't wing... "we need more burglars on this team".
It won't be long before our resident 'saltlicker' chimes in to tell us that we need more tough guys in the military, war is hell, etc...
So you think war isn't hell?? You don't think the military is desperately in need of tough men and women? Wish you had been around to share on some of our forced road marches. 30 miles with full combat gear in under 8 hours. I don't know if that made me tough, but it sure as hell wore my ass into the ground. IMO tough was always a state of mind. You did what you were ordered to do and our own personal pride took over from there. Outside of digging left hand ditches and throwing around bales of hay you only enjoyed a rudimentary level of how much physical punishment your body can absorb. Why don't you ask OS what SEER/SERE training was all about?
FTR for as hypersensitive as you are who whines about personal attacks you sure take great pride in insulting and humiliating OS. Fortunately I have no issues at all when it comes to hurting your sensitive feelings. Matter of fact I kinda enjoy it...
right on cue,
This your kind of tough guy?

...don't tell MD what the military needs. He knows everything about everything.
How weak is it to drag war & military service into this issue or for afan to take a shot at USNA because he disagrees with me.
They think that I'm the only vet who thinks that Trump's enemies are a greater threat than Trump.
They're happy to abuse any power to take him out. They could do the same to any of us or anyone who threatens their power.
Flynn was the appetizer, Trump is the main course.
The point was that
you don't care about the rule of law. Misdemeanors, felonies, fraud, rape, conspiracies against the United States, insurrection...nothing matters to you, because "Trump's enemies are a greater threat than Trump"
"abuse any power" = prosecution for
crimes. Can't prosecute, impeach. "Ohh no, that's "political", he can be prosecuted" Ohh no, prosecuting crimes is an "abuse of power".
I can't speak for a fan, but I took the USNA barb to be pointed at the paradox of someone with your background caring nothing for the rule of law. There was no shot at the USNA because they
obviously DO NOT admit applicants with felony convictions. But
you would.
My barb at cradle, and you, was because of the discussions we had about war crimes committed by US service men. You and cradle defended them, as Trump treated them as if heroes, not simply because of actual heroism, which they otherwise might have deserved, but
because of the war crimes.
And yeah, Flynn was/is a lying, bigoted player who should have never been close to power. No prior honorable service excused how far off his rocker he'd gone, and yet you, of course, rallied to him by instinct. His subsequent behaviors have only firmly confirmed what anyone actually paying attention knew right away. A man willing to commit crimes in order to be able to exercise power.
Again, you (and they) don't care about the rule of law, if it in any way impedes your "policy" goals.
