@elonmusk Are they private institutions who can hire who they choose?
Or are we advocating they be forced to hire who we’d like them to?
Wouldn’t that be the very definition of DEI hiring?
Say it with me now: Dumbass
Of course this is not sedition, and this graphic is a lie.
Nobody in that video told the military to disobey the convicted felon, or any president. They said something very specific and very lawful, service members have a duty to disobey illegal orders. That is established military law and constitutional doctrine.
So let’s be clear. If the convicted felon thinks that statement was about him, then the only logical question is this, why does he assume his orders would be illegal? They did not mention him at all. They mentioned illegal orders. If he sees himself in that description, that says far more about him than it does about them.
Here are the facts.
Service members are required to obey lawful orders.
Service members are required to refuse unlawful orders.
Following an illegal order does not protect them, it makes them personally criminally liable.
That is not political opinion, that is the Uniform Code of Military Justice, DOD directives, Military court findings, and long standing military doctrine. There are even formal procedures for this, including requesting clarification through the chain of command and consulting JAG. This is taught from day one in military training.
Sedition is attempting to overthrow the government. Explaining that troops must refuse illegal orders is doing the opposite. It protects the Constitution, protects civilians, and protects the service member.
The lawmakers in that video were absolutely right. They were affirming the rule of law, not undermining it.
This does not require interpretation. You just listen to the video. They said illegal orders. The only person injecting the convicted felon into this narrative is the convicted felon himself.
And if he is offended by the idea that troops must refuse illegal commands, maybe the problem is not the law, maybe the problem is the kind of orders he believes he should be able to give.
That is the real danger here.
Time for you to get back to monitoring the bathrooms while we wait for the Epstein files.
Read a detailed explanation why none of your claims are true, @mattvanswol
Then carefully analyse the reply from @ElisabethGFY , you’ll find it enlightening.
#Fellas
🚫 “Wages explode”
Removing millions of workers from the economy shrinks the workforce, reduces productivity, and pushes prices UP, not down.
Many industries (agriculture, construction, hospitality, aged care, food services) rely on immigrant labour. Removing those workers would create shortages, not wage booms.
⸻
🚫 “ER wait times plummet”
ER wait times are driven by doctor shortages, nurse shortages, funding, and hospital capacity — not immigration.
Some of the healthcare workers themselves are immigrants.
⸻
🚫 “School class sizes cut in half”
Class sizes depend on teacher numbers, funding, and local populations.
Even in areas with high immigrant populations, removing kids doesn’t magically double school staff.
⸻
🚫 “Auto insurance rates nose dive”
Insurance costs are about risk, claims, repair costs, vehicle prices, and competition — not immigration status.
⸻
🚫 “Home ownership skyrockets”
The housing crisis has far more to do with:
•Lack of supply
•Zoning restrictions
•Underbuilding
•Investors
•High interest rates
Removing immigrants doesn’t fix any of these.
⸻
🚫 “Food prices fall”
Food prices would actually rise sharply — because immigrant labour is critical to farming, food processing, and trucking.
Look at countries that cracked down on migrant farm labour: crops rotted, prices rose.
⸻
🚫 “DMV lines cut in half” or “Traffic disappears”
Traffic and queues come from population density and infrastructure, not immigration status.
⸻
🚫 “English spoken everywhere”
Language diversity has existed in all modern immigration countries.
This point is just xenophobia dressed up as economics.
⸻
🚫 “All violent crime drops substantially”
Multiple studies show:
👉 Immigrants commit less violent crime than native-born citizens.
Removing them doesn’t magically make crime vanish.
⸻
🚫 “Organ transplant waiting lists shorten”
Many immigrants are organ donors and healthcare workers.
This claim has zero factual basis.
⸻
🚫 “Teen summer jobs massively increase”
Teen employment changed due to:
•automation
•shift in education patterns
•minimum wage changes
•fewer traditional teen jobs
Not immigration.
⸻
🚫 “Birth rates spike; couples can finally afford homes”
Birth rates are influenced by:
•cost of living
•childcare availability
•parental leave
•stability and cultural trends
Immigration has nothing to do with most of that.
⸻
✅ The Bigger Truth
Immigrants — legal and undocumented — contribute to:
•the workforce
•tax revenues
•economic growth
•entrepreneurial activity
•essential services (care, farming, construction, food, transport)
Removing millions of people would cause economic shock, labour shortages, and higher consumer prices, not the utopia the list claims.
