As I understand, they’re under no obligation whatsoever to obey jack shit from comrade trump if said jack shit involved orders to turn weapons on Americans on American soil.
And such a request should come with it an immediate impeachment hearing and a tribunal to determine how many years in prison he should get.
Dude’s already been impeached twice. What the hell does that shit even do? I remember it being a huge deal with Clinton and that didn’t seem to change things either.
impeached is like “tried in court”
neither Clinton nor Trump was convicted, which would have meant removal from office.

This is one of the very few exceptions I have for the death penalty.
There are more peremptory methods available as well.
