Well because you're wrong and you deserve to be called out for it. Its like flat eathers - people know they're full of shit, but we still call them out for it.

Hmmm, not the coast guard (which nobody remembers), or Trump's new space force? Until he leaves office he's allowed to have his Space Marine forces running around?
The military, from what I understand, inculcates in its recruits a rigid and unquestioning deference to authority. Carrying out orders without questioning, suppressing one's own sense of morality. It's not the kind of working culture I would expect to lead to ultimate trustworthiness or responsibility. And, aside from this, take a look at the long (long) list of crimes committed by US servicemen on duty; so many times we see other servicemen either joining in, ignoring it, or jovially dismissing it. And the crimes keep happening. It is absolutely not a working culture I would trust with warfare, let alone domestic electoral politics. It needs root-and-stem reform.
So without following established legal processes?
Numerous crimes have been committed by the US military against foreign civilians as well. Obviously, the consideration of who is actually the "enemy" gets blurred quite readily.
Well, they're not actually "random"-- they've had background checks and training. But, yeah, I know very little about them.
That's completely unavoidable. At least I know they haven't been trained in a brutal institution with a long criminal history, and at least I know they're not ultimately under the command of one of the two candidates in the election.
Also, maybe its got way more to the fact that we shouldn't doxx people who work for the government? Because that seems like a terrible thing. See USB guy who gets death threats just for doing his job
Also, also it certainly would make rigging the election easier
Was the US military involved in torturing US civilians caught overseas and not-actually-charged with terrorism? Or was that only foreign civilians (including US allies) and TLAs? Think so, but can't remember for sure.
well, that was around the time the election results were coming in.
Anyway, guys January 5 and 6 are the home stretch of the election. we will see the winners of Georgia and Biden's presidential Position will be secure. well be a hell of a watch

Because the implication of arguing that the military should run the election is that the laws are changed so that they can, just like if anyone were to argue there should be single payer socialised healthcare it would require the laws of the land to be changed.
If the Constitution stated the military could not run the election, that would be a different matter because changing the Constitution is sufficiently difficult as to be considered not reasonably feasible without the direst need.
My read of that was that he also knew its impossible/illegal for the Military to take over the election, and he thought he and I were arguing for the sake of it. Meaning he thinks we're both trolls. But I was arguing the principle of the matter, and I guess he was just trolling? If he was arguing the principle of it, he wouldn't have cared about the legality of it, like I didn't. I knew it was illegal, but I thought the conversation was over implementation/appropriateness of the military taking over. I guess he really is just here to troll.
He is, and I and many others have pointed it out dozens of pages ago. He's not worth engaging honestly; just insult him as he deserves and move on.
It would follow military legal processes. Established, yes. Different, also yes.
The definition of "troll" seemed to have changed, since I was a kid, from "intentionally trying to annoy others" to "one who argues for the sake of it".
Also:
One of the few times I have took him off of ignore, he said he does this for fun. Another time, he says he has no stakes in this but will argue for something like it was his life on the line.
Why look at that and go "But THESE facts and logic will get through to him!!"?
You do realize 50% of the US population lives in like 20-25 counties, right?It would follow military legal processes. Established, yes. Different, also yes.

Also:
Also, I "love" the implicit sexism in the table. Fits perfectly with you.
Because of "Side of Beef"? That's has nothing to do with Hillary being female. It refers to the time that she was unstable on her feet and had to be tossed into the back of her vehicle like a side of beef
