After being relieved of his duties and slated to be ushered out of the Marine Corps for posting an online video questioning senior military officials while in uniform and rank insignia, disgraced Marine Lt. Colonel Stuart Scheller posted a more recent video, with a chess set in front of him, issuing the threat “You have no idea what I’m capable of doing.” Col. Scheller then continued with a series of additional thinly-veiled threats, warning about a secret society called the “Bellwether Alliance,” and urging people to “Follow me and we will bring this whole fucking system down.”

Now, say what you want, but I can relate to how this guy feels, because this is exactly how I felt the other day at Costco, when they asked me to show my club card. Why, I thought, “you don't know what I'm capable of.” The thing is, we all have to find that place to take our stand, and - because it was such a hot day, I figured I’d make mine over by the frozen foods.

So you see, when you put it all in perspective, Colonel Scheller’s domestic terrorist threats don’t really sound all that concerning after all, do they? Why, whenever I find myself questioning my own sanity, I just take a good look at most of the people around me, and I don’t feel all that whacked-out. Of course, the fact that I mostly hang out with complete lunatics, does help quite a bit.

Anyway, what I found really impressive about this Colonel Scheller guy, is that he made this video with a chess set right in front of him. I guess that was intended to show what a “deep thinker” he really is. Of course, our chess wizard seems to have a wee bit of a problem, in that he appears to have also just “checkmated” himself.

On the other hand, while Scheller may be giving up his military career by making terrorist threats, those videos he posted should be about all he needs to get elected to congress. After all, those ramblings were so downright incoherent, they’ll no doubt be a huge hit throughout the entire Trump universe. Why, it can’t be long before he’ll be saying “Hey Marjorie Taylor Greene - save me a seat!”

never criticize your military rulers! right? You are a terrorist if you do so!

I criticize military leaders all the time. That isn't why he's being called a terrorist. He's being called a terrorist because of the treats he's making to unleash upon society. Hell, what did some woman shopping at the market with her child do to him - when the bomb he planted goes off and kills them? Or the people riding on the train to work?

i wasn't asking whether or not YOU ever criticize the military. I was saying that just because this guy was in the military doesn't mean that he shouldn't question what they are doing. The whataboutisms you suggest afterwards is absurd speculation.

We can't call people "terrorists" because of some perceived interpretation of their words that is done for political reasons in the first place. We cannot assume guilt before anything has even been done. This isn't Minority Report and everyone, including you, should hope that we never get to that point.
