So is this even legal? Are there seriously no checks and balances for this kinda stuff?
Lol checks and balances is an illusion to keep the masses from revolting
Waiting for Trump to put the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers into these positions.
Imagine helping to protect your country for 40 years, only to have a felon who is offended over the existence of people with any skin colour besides white take all that away from you. I predict that a white man will be offered to take Brown's place and will be far less qualified.
That's what all of this anti "DEI" (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) is about, purging anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white male.
Imagine helping to ~~protect your~~ commit war crimes for country for 40 years,
I see this in every thread. He was a felon when he was running. People voted for a felon. The American people wanted a criminal in the white house. The guy all previous generals who worked with him warned against. 77 million people are responsible for these firings, plus whatever many stayed home and didn't vote. His campaign promise was to replace everyone with loyalists.
I call for the dissolution of the secret ballot.
I want everyone to have to account to their vote to the country.
Careful. The Nazis may use this to decide you go to a camp in the future.
Who the fuck cares. Fuck the Nazis, I'm on paper saying as much and I'll fucking end as many as I can if they want to try me.
Amen. It’s necessary.
offended over the existence of people with any skin colour besides white take all that away from you
This isn’t the problem here, it’s military leadership that may disobey him
*besides white and orange
I hope the joint Chiefs already had plans in place as a contingency for this. Now is the time for a military coup. The sooner it's done, the less messy things will get
Every single member of the military I've talked to, somehow, for some reason seems to support Trump. I'm fucking stunned by it, but it seems he has their support.
it's about a 50/50 at my local base. The vets, on the other hand, tend to lean towards tRUmp. I have never gotten it either. Our regional congressman, or ex now, never did jack shit for us. We were a tool to get her elected every time. She didn't really do anything to help. When she left, what did they do? Idiots voted in another useless GOP.
When PACT was first shot down, I had to actually explain why that was a bad thing and that we needed it. They bought every last fake talking point. I had actually read the measure. Anyone that did had seen why it was a good thing.
We have a problem of propagation of fake news on bases. A lot of them show faux on the TVs in waiting areas. On top of that, it tends to be conservatives that join. Officers do tend to be less red. I really don't know what would happen if the military actually fulfilled its oath to protect against the domestic threat part of our oath.
It is disgusting hearing fellow vets with the "I got mine" attitude, or other attitudes that are directly against the nature of service. That isn't what we were serving for.
Also, the "I got mine" group is about to lose all of what they got.

Remember a few months ago when Trump said he needed generals like Hitler had
I was just talking to a friend yesterday who mentioned that the conditions for China to invade Taiwan will be optimal in three weeks based on the ocean conditions and ship movements.
I said even if Trump wants to be the "president of peace" and avoid interfering, the generals wouldn't allow the inaction. I think my exact words were, "he would have to fire them all in the next two weeks."
One absolutely doesn't prepare such a large operation at such a short notice.
For an intelligence analyst, signs of an invasion are typically detectable 3 months ahead. If one performs a maritime invasion at a notice of weeks, failure is likely. (For reference, the D-Day needed years of planning and months of moving resources to work.)
Also, I trust that Taiwan has infiltrated China just as deeply as China has infiltrated Taiwan - they likely cannot keep massive secrets from each other.
You assume that I haven't already been planning. for months or years.
America is toast. Best we can hope for is a military coup. Military purge is in progress. At this point I think threatening to nuke Canada is the red line and only if prevailing winds are on my side.
Left and right are living in alternate realuties and this can only lead to violence. If the military chooses right then it's world war 3.
The non-violent alternative is for the left is to do an economic coup by halting consumption.
halting all work and transportation too. EDSA worked because the protests blockaded the capital
In my dreams
