CNN asked Miller whether the Trump Administration will abide by a district judge’s order blocking the Guard’s deployment in Oregon. “Well, the Administration filed an appeal this morning with the Ninth Circuit,” Miller began. “I would note the Administration won an identical case in the Ninth Circuit just a few months ago with respect to the federalizing of the California National Guard.”

Then, Miller said: “Under Title 10 of the U.S. Code, the President has plenary authority, has—” before making an abrupt stop. Miller blinked several times, with anchor Boris Sanchez calling out his name, though he still did not respond.

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations.

Chat, is this AI?

And by that I mean Miller himself. Is he a robit.

It took that for someone to become "suspicious" of the Trump Administration while Trump has been talking abut dictatorship for years now ... what a joke.

ITT : Lots of very suspect defense of nazis.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 12 hours ago (9 children)

I hope someone is planning to spin up a new House Un-American Activities Committee to deal with these shit stains when this is all over.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

you miss understand, they have already decided who is un-American and are enforcing their policy.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Very optimistic that you think it will end. I like your energy my friend.

CNN edited their YouTube clip of the interview and removed the part in question. Someone on Reddit clipped it though: https://www.reddit.com/r/Military/comments/1o0x5ib/miller_glitches_while_falsely_claiming_title_10/

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

Apparently Reddit is working hard to try to scrub that off their site as well. The boot licking continues.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Not that hard. Even Kimmel had it on and only focused no the glitch out.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

I don't know how to download videos off Reddit. Hope someone grabs it.

[–] m0stlyharmless@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

yt-dlp works with Reddit. There’s also cobalt, which is a web-based, general purpose media download tool. There are multiple instances of it that people host themselves too.

For real, this is literally the moment that all trust in the media collapsed.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago

After the last two years of genocide justification and lying for Israel I am surprised anyone had any trust left.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 68 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

CNN is state media. It cannot be trusted.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 hour ago

with ellison ready to take over it, after MALONE.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 29 points 13 hours ago

Yes. All corporate media is state media. None of it can be trusted.

It's a sad state of affairs when you'll get better information from Teen Vogue than any organization in the White House Press Pool.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 54 points 15 hours ago

Keep bending the knee and licking the boots, CNN.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 52 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I mean is it not common knowledge at this point that Republicans are fascists and are planning to turn America into an authoritarian state and Americans are too weak and servile to do anything about it?

I thought it was pretty obvious by now.

Not a glitch, this is how they introduce these ideas and shift the Overton window more right.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago

They've been jabbing about the Unitary executive theory since W

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 45 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

This is nothing new, Miller has said himself the president has absolute power. We're just all transfixed now because Miller fell down a Khole or his amphetamines started to wear off in the middle of an interview.

If it takes this kind of spectacle to make people aware of how bad this administration is, we're so fucked.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 hours ago

That had nothing to do with drugs, he realized what he said out loud and pretended his video feed froze

So I looked it up and title 10 is all the rules that govern the US armed forces. The president of the United States can trivially be shown to not have plenary authority by the simple fact that the constitution exists. That is in fact the entire point of the constitution, it ensures nobody in the United States has plenary authority. Even title 10 disproves that as it sets out the rules that US armed forces must operate under.

[–] Juice@midwest.social 23 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

The constitution is a social contract. Since such a contract can serve as the basis for all society, then the legitimacy of all contractual obligations are linked to the legitimacy of this one, that ensure we have rights and freedom in order to enter into contractual obligations.

Since the representatives of the state founded on the constitution have broken the social contract, then all contracts are null and void.

Didn't you get the news last week? Clarence Thomas issued a new ruling that declared the constitution unconstitutional. Apparently they didn't have the right to write it so he nullified it.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well, Thomas stupidly just removed his own authority to declare things unconstitutional, automatically reinstating it

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Well well how the turntables...
