ARE MAGA REALLY THIS UNINFORMED?

 

Why yes, yes they are. 

The Captain of the Mother Ship admits she is a devoted FAUX NOOZ fan. That's why she wrote this inaccurate and grossly uninformed comment:

” All I write here nearly every day is how the Left’s speech writers shoot down everything the Trump Admin does, but thanks for the reminder. Of COURSE they shoot down everything Trump does..(as do most judges and grand juries, the latest Grand Jury rejected the lawmaker indictments for telling our servicemen to ignore their superiors, did you hear that yet?)..if we had Republicans as sharp and articulate as the Dems, we could fight that.

In November 2025, Senator Mark Kelly and five other Democratic lawmakers released a video advising U.S. service members to refuse illegal orders, not all orders. This action prompted a Pentagon investigation, accusations of "sedition" from Donald Trump, and a subsequent lawsuit by Kelly against a January 2026 censure by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Key details: 

The Content: The video featured Mark Kelly, alongside Reps. Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Maggie Goodlander, and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, advising troops to uphold their oath to the Constitution and ignore directives they believe are unlawful.

The Context: The message was released amid concerns regarding the legality of potential military actions within the U.S. and in South America.

The Backlash: President Trump and then-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the group of "seditious behavior," with the Pentagon opening a review into the lawmakers' conduct.

Legal Action: A federal judge in February 2026 temporarily blocked the Pentagon from punishing Senator Kelly, citing potential violations of his First Amendment rights. 

 The lawmakers emphasized that they were reminding military personnel of their legal obligations under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) to disobey unlawful, not all, orders.

"On February 10, 2026, a federal grand jury declined to indict the lawmakers on charges of seditious conspiracy or interfering with military discipline. 

Court Injunction: On February 12, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Pentagon from punishing Kelly. 

The judge ruled that the speech was 'unquestionably protected' by the First Amendment and that the government had unconstitutionally retaliated against him."

Current Status: As of February 17, 2026, the Department of Justice has been urged by Kelly's attorneys not to seek a second indictment. Kelly remains a retired Navy captain while the legal battle over his rank and pension continues.

There is no shame in being ignorant on some issues, only in willfully staying that way. The Captain apparently chooses to stay that way.
