IN all fairness, when Top Gun was filmed he was 24. Im sure there are plenty of actual service members that age who were 'put on the ground' for their behaviors as well.

And orders are part of the job of the military. I'm surprise any would feel 'disrespected' by receiving orders. Maybe they were expected to continue doing their jobs while the shoot occurs ... who knows?

While I appreciate people in uniform, I dont necessarily believe they need to receive kid glove treatment and be worshipped with Idol Like treatment. I think they are big boys and girls. They can handle themselves. And like civilians, there is a difference between customary etiquette and actual 'disrespect' IMHO.




They were ordered not to look at him when he was off camera. He is a pompous a$$.

Members of the US Navy are reportedly slamming actor Tom Cruise for alleged arrogant behavior on the set of his upcoming sequel, Top Gun: Maverick.

Tom Cruise is filming Top Gun 2 on the mighty USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71), a US Nimitz class supercarrier. The crew has been ordered to not look at Tom Cruise or to talk to the arrogant actor.

Tom Cruise will make a fortune from Top Gun 2 pretending to be a US Navy officer and yet he shows no respect to for the men and women who serve aboard the Theodore Roosevelt.

This isn’t the first time Tom Cruise has received heated criticism from US Special Forces. In 2013, the actor made comments comparing his job as a professional actor to be just as, if not more intense than what troops in Afghanistan were going through.
Tom Cruise not only thinks he trains harder than Olympic athletes, he believes his job as a professional actor is as grueling as fighting the war in Afghanistan — this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.

At the moment, no official response has been released by Tom Cruise or the production behind Top Gun: Maverick as a result of this onslaught of criticism from numerous US Navy crew members.

Go to the link and read what the hundreds of men and women on board have to say about this jerk. I am surprised the Department of Defense allowed him on the ship or on US Bases after saying that his job as an actor is more intense then a US Soldier in combat in Afghanistan which he actually got slammed by the United States Special Operations Command.

I also remember when he filmed the original Top Gun that he was such a jerk and Val Kilmer put him on the ground off camera with one punch.

If I were the captain of the ship he would have been removed from the vessel.

I am so confused. How is the 25th invoked without ASKING about being in agreement or not? The 25th is not a crime, and who else to invoke it but those that first discuss it? Seems like more of a creation of scandal while dismissing all the ACTUAL Indictments coming down all around the current POTUS, and more of that 'wait till you hear what people NOT THE PRESIDENT are going to have been found to have done"


The tunnelvision trend is quite amazing.





FBI Agents can not have anything to do with that. It's illegal. They have to remain unbiased and can not conspire to remove a President. Even Hoover who hated Roosevelt, Kennedy and Nixon didn't even attempt that and he had far more dirt on them then the FBI has on anyone today.


sorry, nothing in your OP states they had anything to do with it besides bringing it up in discussion that three cabinet members had talked about it.





It' documented between two Agents that they would prevent Trump from taking office. Both are potentially facing criminal charges. They also have it documented top FBI and DOJ officials met with cabinet members to get them to invoke the 25th amendment.




None of which is in the OP. If it is illegal, and the evidence is there, then I guess it will take its course.

however, I find it not likely that there would be a 25th amendment about removing a POTUS which was accompanied by a law that there couldn't be discussion about removing a POTUS.


Actually, it is a potential violation of the Hatch Act.

KGB agent comment: find me a man and I'll find a crime to pin on him.

-----------------

And although Special Counsel Robert Mueller has yet to publicly pinpoint illegal Russia collusion on Trump’s part he’s still looking. Meantime, former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell is making an explosive allegation. She’s among those who believe there’s now compelling evidence pointing to a parallel scandal.

Sharyl: In the simplest of terms if possible, what do you think is the story that's been uncovered in the past two years?

Sidney Powell: That the entire Russia collusion narrative was made up. That the FBI and the intelligence community and the Department of Justice began an investigation against four American citizens simply because they worked for the opposition political candidate, that being Donald Trump.

http://fullmeasure.news/news/politics/russia-probe-02-11-2019

-----------------

Anyone interested in this I suggest you watch today's program at the above address.


Actually Reinhard Heydrich made that comment famous when he was second in command to Himmler and headed the SS and SD and was technically the head of Interpol at the time. The KGB just copied it. Remember, Russia worked closely with Nazi Germany prior to World War II when they both teamed up to invade Poland.

Your thread title is entirely false.

Nothing in your post supports even a HINT of a "coup," and doesn't even support your claim that the "plot" was originated by "rogue FBI agents."




you haven't been keeping up, I see.

Andrew McCabe...the assistant director of the FBI under Mueller admitted it only a few days ago. He said that the FBI and the DOJ were working together to bring Trump down with charges he knew were false.

It's public knowledge now. That genie won't be going back into the bottle and heads are going to roll soon.


That and holding meetings with President Trump's cabinet members to try to convince them to invoke the 25th amendment.

According to your own post, this was a discussion of an entirely legal action, by members of Trump's own cabinet.

Why the false labeling of the post?



When you have people in power that try to remove the democratically elected leader of a country, that is a coup.

Heh heh... they've got so much on the Obamas and the Clintons that hasn't even been revealed to the public yet. I can see how it would take a battery of attorneys a year or more just to assess all of the charges to determine where to start. Fortunately all it will take is one count of high treason each to have them all executed.

I have a feeling Trump is about to drop some astonishing truth bombs on the American people that will have the general public demanding their executions!



laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

smh

and I have got 'so much' on Trump that the public doesnt know yet. I can see how it would take a battery of attorneys absolutely no time to indict everyone around him, but years to pin him down. Fortunately, all it will take is one investigation of his competence to have him removed from office.

I have a feeling Trump is going to continue tweet storms like a petulant child, and throwing out wild 'hyperboles' of which he has NO CLUE if they are true or not, to appease his loyal audience.

sigh, throwing out wild unsubstantiated claims is so fun ... isnt it?


Oh my, I wish I had more time for this! If you have so much on Trump, I'm sure Mr. Mueller would love to hear from you at this point because he's absolutely desperate to find anything he can pin on our legitimately elected president. So far his battery of attorneys and investigators have spent almost two years trying to come up with ANY proof of collusion with Russia and to this day they still have nothing but a fake dossier that Hillary paid for! Just for your information, I'm 13 years down the rabbit hole and one thing I never do is throw out unsubstantiated claims so let's see if you can prove me wrong on what I just told you and while we're at it, page 294 of the inspector General's report last summer indicates that the FBI was fully aware that the clintons and the Clinton Foundation are heavily involved in crimes against children around the world and they failed to do anything about it! Prove me wrong!
Perhaps you've never bothered to look at a single one of Hillary or Podesta's emails (which by the way neither one of them have ever denied ownership of).
According to the FBI's own website they were obviously using a well-known pedophile code language! Prove me wrong! Hillary was caught red-handed taking millions of dollars in bribes from Putin in exchange for 20% of our uranium Supply! They make nuclear weapons out of that stuff ya know so that makes it an act of high treason for directly colluding with the Enemy! Prove me wrong!


I wouldn't call Pedestra a pedophile. I think that's a conspiracy theory. Everything else you said is spot on. Former Delta Force Operator and Terrorism and War Crimes Investigator Tim Kennedy has said numerous times that Uranium + Heavy Water (which Russia has an unlimited supply of) = Atom Bomb. The only thing Russia is short of is Uranium.

It is. A bunch of dems plotting to invoke the 25th amendment on Trump. Why wasn't VP Pence called in on that meeting? Or former AG Jeff Sessions? Or Mitch McConnell? Or Paul Ryan? Why was it secret?

Care to field that question?



I have a hunch and I've said it on here many times over the past few months that Pence was one of the people to support invoking the 25th amendment. It wouldn't go through without the support of the Vice President. I believe it was Pence, Sessions and Hailey.

As with all the others who have broken the law,
Nothing will happen.
Of course, if a Republican had done anything, he
would be jailed without his feet even touching the courtroom floor!!!
A double standard?


Yeah, and they would send in the FBI S.W.A.T. team to execute a white collar warrant.

Former top FBI lawyer James Baker, in closed-door testimony to Congress, detailed alleged discussions among senior officials at the Justice Department about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office, claiming he was told Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said two Trump Cabinet officials were “ready to support” such an effort.

The testimony was delivered last fall to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. Fox News has confirmed portions of the transcript. It provides additional insight into discussions that have returned to the spotlight in Washington as fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe revisits the matter during interviews promoting his forthcoming book.

Baker did not identify the two Cabinet officials. But in his testimony, the lawyer said McCabe and FBI lawyer Lisa Page came to him to relay their conversations with Rosenstein, including discussions of the 25th Amendment.

“I was being told by some combination of Andy McCabe and Lisa Page, that, in a conversation with the Deputy Attorney General, he had stated that he -- this was what was related to me -- that he had at least two members of the president’s Cabinet who were ready to support, I guess you would call it, an action under the 25th Amendment,” Baker told the committees.

The 25th Amendment provides a mechanism for removing a sitting president from office. One way that could happen is if a majority of the president’s Cabinet says the president is incapable of discharging his duties.

Rosenstein, who still works at Justice Department but who is expected to exit in the near future, has denied the claims since they first surfaced in the media last year.

Fox News requested further comment from the parties involved. Lawyers for Baker and McCabe declined comment, as did an FBI spokesperson.

In his testimony, Baker said of McCabe’s state of mind: “At this point in time, Andy was unbelievably focused and unbelievably confident and squared away. I don’t know how to describe it other than I was extremely proud to be around him at that point in time because I thought he was doing an excellent job at maintaining focus and dealing with a very uncertain and difficult situation. So I think he was in a good state of mind at this point in time.”

The testimony, for which they are criminal penalties if the witness lies to congressional investigators, comes as McCabe, who was fired last year by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, has discussed the alleged meetings as he promotes his forthcoming book.

As Fox News has previously reported, the eight days in May 2017 between Comey’s firing and appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller were seen as a major turning point in the Russia probe, which has also involved examining whether the president obstructed justice.

“I had the impression that the deputy attorney general had already discussed this with two members in the president’s Cabinet and that they were…onboard with this concept already,” Baker said.

During the closed-door hearing, the former FBI lawyer told lawmakers he could not say whether Rosenstein was taking the initiative to seek out Cabinet members:
Question: “Do you know what direction that went? Was it Mr. Rosenstein seeking out members of the Cabinet looking to pursue this 25th Amendment approach or was it the other way around?”

Baker: “What I recall being said was that the Deputy Attorney General had two members of the Cabinet. So he – how they came to be had, I don’t know, but…”
Question: “So he had two members, almost like he was taking the initiative and getting the members?”

Baker: “That would be speculation on my part.”

Baker also said he did not know the names of the two Cabinet officials.

“Lisa and Andy did not tell me, and my impression was they didn’t know themselves,” he said.

But when the New York Times broke the story in September, it reported that Rosenstein told McCabe he might be able to persuade then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and then-Secretary of Homeland Security and later White House chief of staff John Kelly to invoke the 25th Amendment.

On Thursday, the top Republicans on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees called for McCabe and Rosenstein to testify before their respective panels, following McCabe's comments about these discussions. Rosenstein did not appear for Capitol Hill testimony to clarify these discussions, despite multiple requests from lawmakers, when Republicans held the majority last year.

Now coming out that certain Clinton loyalists in the FBI were trying to stage a Coup against President Trump. Not only are they in violation of the law as they cant be in negotiations with cabinet members to try to remove a President, there are phone records throughout the campaign on how they will prevent him from becoming President.

This is beyond a simple crime, this is treason

No real internet available in my

Then how do you get on here?

You can order the first two seasons on DVD from Amazon. The 3rd youd probably have to get from the History channel.

That is a very poor way to get attention. Reminds me of that goofy family that released those balloons in Colorado, and claimed one of their kids was attached to them. Pure stupidity.

That, I believe is where the law can get involved. They tend to come down hard on games like that.



Yeah, but they don't tend to come down hard on 12 year old kids though. Unfortunately it will be their parents who are held responsible.

Parents are responsible for their children until they are grown. So a parent should control what their children do. Social media has made parents job a bit more difficult . IMO

If your child needs help, get that for them. Too many seek attention from strangers on the internet.






Yeah, you can put parental controls on any TV, Computer, Laptop, Cell Phone and Tablet. You can also install programs that let you see what they are doing online.

(KMOV.com) - A warning is being issued to parents about a new challenge for teens that is circulating Facebook, the 48-hour challenge.

It encourages teens to go missing for up to two days at a time and awards points for every social media mention while they’re missing.

Police say it is not only dangerous but could also tie them up while there are real emergencies.

Child psychiatrists say it’s never a good idea to assume your child knows better than to involve themselves.

Police say anyone caught participating in the 48-hour challenge could face charges in such an internet challenge.

First it was the Choking game (hanging themselves and filming it then releasing the noose and the longer you stayed hanging the more points), then it was taking large amounts of Robotussin to get high (like three to four bottles at a time), then there was the Tide Pods challenge, then MOMO and now this.

What the hell is wrong with kids today? I know in the 80's and 90's they blamed everything on rap music lol

I'm sorry to hear of your past relationship problems. Rest assured, life does go on and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Just about anything can be used as a weapon.

If the state wants to provide me with a home chef at their expense they can have ALL my knives.


You didn't answer ANY of the questions I asked. You will only give up your knives if the state pays for a home chef??? How about if I will give up my guns if the state provides me with armed protection 24/7 at their expense? After all the government elitists have 24/7 armed protection.

Sounds like an interesting series.

Is it out on DVD yet?




The first two seasons might be. I bought it outright on Amazon Fire TV. You can buy each Season for like $12.00. My dad is in his room watching it now, neither of us our conspiracy people but these guys present a good case and Tim Kennedy is one of the most decorated and credible Special Forces soldiers in our country. I don't want to give it all away but he is the one who made some of the major discoveries of the series using his skills from hunting HVT's like Saddam, Osama Bin Laden and Al-Zarquawi as well as protecting HVT's and American officials. Also the CIA Unit Chief that runs the investigation is the same guy that the movie Syriana is based on and George Clooney played him. The lady from the CIA that they brought in during season three is the woman that the movie Zero Dark Thirty was based on who is the one who tracked down Osama Bin Laden and Al-Zarquawi.

These are credible people who have spent the majority of their lives hunting evil and monsters like Hitler. They wouldn't ruin their reputation on some crackpot conspiracy especially since a few of them are still serving like Tim Kennedy who just reenlisted. I don't know if he is still with Delta because he has been a pretty public figure but he is still involved in a Special Forces unit.

It finally has been released and I must say if you haven't seen any of the seasons watch them. in 2014 the FBI, CIA, Secret Service, Mossad, MI6 and other agencies released all of the documents on Nazi war criminals and declassified them.

This series follows a group led by the former head of the Bin Laden Station of the CIA and whos investigators are Delta Force team member Tim Kennedy who was the one who got Al-Zarquawi, the CIA Officer who tracked down Al-Zarquawi and Bin Laden through their curriers and associates, the former head of the US Marshall's Fugitive Task Force, a former War Crimes Prosecutor, several well know historians and other current and former US Special Forces operative who have tracked terrorists and fugitives.

By the end of season 3 they were able to put the entire investigation in front of a former senior Department of Justice Official and the conclusion is that Hitler probably did survive the war and did not die in the bunker as history claims. It is worth watching!
