You are correct, article 2 has yet to be invoked for retirees who violate article 88 yet.  But it could be.  It has been for a retired Marine who committed a crime; he was recalled to active duty, charged under UCMJ, stripped of rank and a pension, and sentenced to Leavenworth (I think it was pedophilia, but not 100% sure).

 

And it IS prohibited from disparaging certain government officials.  Read Article 88.

So Lt General Flynn would need to cease and desist with the "lock her up" mantra had Hillary won as expected.

Yes, as I said 21 hours prior.  It was an idiotic move.  And while I am sure there are good things done by the good general, the fact is he was known for making dumb statements about his leadership, and was relieved of his command.  There is usually a good reason for getting fired from such a high position.

Obama fired him and you agree? Stop the presses.

Still no takers? 

Let's find one day of the Trump administration where there was no lying.

You are the one obsessed with his lying, no one else seems quite so invested in his messages. Name one president who stated nothing but verifiable proof each and every time he opened his mouth. Many of the things he has not done is because of opposition by the democrats, he has overstated his position on many cases, you don't like him, fine no one is going to lose sleep after that. Ask the same question in a confrontational manner every day, other than being annoyed, no one will care. It's your opinion, you are very much allowed to have it and express it

I think most people are concerned about the patterns of communication with the President. 

[Randyandyuni 2,682]

being concerned with his communication and fixating on assigning a lie per day are two different things, I also thing he could communicate better but believe many of what you consider untruths are benign and/or beyond his control

As House says... "Everybody lies."

So we should be happier with a politician that lies to us as long as they do it nicely?  I am not a big fan of Trump and his use of Twitter (actually, I think Twitter is useless for everyone), and he does tend to use over exaggeration a bit, but I do like that he talks to the people, he talks to the press (those folks he wants to eliminate apparently).  Just because he doesn't speak with a polished tongue doesn't really matter to me, we have enough of those liars in Washington already.

Isn't it odd that people are more concerned with "beauty" rather than policy and substance??

We are in a kinder, gentler time.  People don't like bluntness anymore.

What are the policies of this administration? What us the substance of this man?

 Be all accounts he doesn't chart a course by policy but is given over to whims and tantrums based on watching the TV news.

He does not listen to his staff, husband generals, his cabinet.  He doesn't believe experts, sciences, economists. 

 

It is sad that we now accept that facts are irrelevant, that it is only what a passionate minority believes as truth.
