Nothing at all to worry about that Trump’s nearly highest priority is to install loyal leadership at the military. Nope, nothing concerning about that. Everything is fine.
I’m sure Trump has America’s best interests in mind, let’s just forget about it and take a nap
Any idea where I can get som extra strength Hibernol?
Ah, the fascist purge begins.
Up next should be jailing opponents of some sort.
A national security disaster waiting to happen.
Hey everyone who didn’t vote! Thanks!
But Palestine or some bullshit
And to make this even more ridiculous than it already is, they’re calling this board the “warrior board”.
If Donald Trump approves the order, it could fast-track the removal of generals and admirals found to be “lacking in requisite leadership qualities,” … But it could also create a chilling effect on top military officers, given the president-elect’s past vow to fire “woke generals,” referring to officers seen as promoting diversity in the ranks at the expense of military readiness.
As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals.
…
But some former officials believe the potential Trump administration is looking to politicize the military. “Do they start wearing MAGA hats in formation to signal who’s where?” asked one former senior Pentagon official. “The potential for this to go wrong is infinite.”
Emphases mine.
he’s already outsourced executive branch and parts of judicial and legislative; so why not outsource our military leadership to russia, too.
This always ends in a yes-men military filled with unskilled ass-kissers.
People will optimize for the grading system.
Interestingly, the damage done to the US military this way by itself makes all of Russia’s investments in Trump worthwhile. Incredible bang for the buck - far more than they’d get investing in their own military.
This is one of two ways that it can end.
The other is that the military says, “No”.
Nazis play opposite day to confuse everybody.
Ahh so looking for new ones that would turn around and go after US citizens in the US, yes?
Never thought I’d see the end of US military hegemony in my lifetime. But this makes it that much more likely.
Listen, guys. It’s bad. Yes.
Please if you’re freaking out, watch this.
If you don’t know this guy, he’s an OG Security guy, very frequent speaker at Black Hat and DEF CON. Brilliant guy in many ways.
The tl;dw:
Government is a lumbering giant that is as hard to change negatively as it is to change positively. That’s not to say things are a-okay. They’re not. But there are solutions to every problem, and historically, love wins.
If you go through the proper channels? Absolutely. If you have babysitters watching him and putting restrictions on what he can do like his last term? Absolutely. When his administration’s babysitters called him out and left the field. Telling people not to elect him again. And now he’s just surrounding himself with Craven yes men. And is going to go outside of normal procedure. To put more Yes Men in place. You can’t count on the lumbering giant anymore.
It will tale generations to undo all the dammage he has told everyone that he will cause to the US.
The last shred of hope I have is that all the people that are being picked for various federal roles are so incompetent that they can’t even crime properly.
Well, give that hope up. That was what he did first go round. They’re been plotting for 4+ years on how to do it right this time.
Steve Bannon was just talking about door-to-door thugs to enforce illegal removal. They’re already plotting concentration camps on the border.
They have their shit together this time. Remember Hitler’s failed Beer Hall Putsch? Same deal.

Thats the hope. Trump gets side tracked chasing the news cycle and golfing while his incompetent lackeys smear shit on the walls. A couple years later he chokes on a hamberder, Vance pushes through some last minute tax breaks to pay off his backers and leaves office in 2028.
This would just setup Vance for eternal president though. He doesn’t walk away from that.
Probably irrelevant because they won’t get prosecuted anyway.
Of course not. I mean to say that I hope they’re too incompetent to reach their criminal goals.
Ah. I misinterpreted your comment.
Hey, I’ve seen this before!
Up next, generals create board to purge Trump.
Kind of curious where he gets the funding for that board.
Musk?
He’s rich, not a branch of government.
Yet.
