      the Army Way doesn’t let the administrative state tell it what to do

      I’m somewhat sure the military command structure is a lot stronger then we think, and will stand up to tyranny inside as well as outside.

      The problem is that the orange monster is planning on replacing the generals with people he considers loyal.

      >But Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), also an Armed Services Committee member, deflected the concerns, like several Republicans approached by The Hill. 

      >“I think a lot of these ideas are not very far advanced to be able to discuss with a lot of specificity,” he said. 

      Being reactive rather than proactive is how things have gotten so bad so far and so quickly.

      I guess the lack of a spine makes apathetic shrugging an easy motion to accomplish.

      > Trump has not made explicit mention of action against cartels, but his close allies, including his former deputy secretary of Homeland Security, Ken Cuccinelli, have publicly advocated for it. Cuccinelli wrote the Homeland Security chapter in Project 2025.

      > Trump’s pick for national security adviser, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), previously introduced legislation to authorize the use of military force against cartels.

      > And Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, told Fox News this week that he will “absolutely need military and special ops” to take on cartels.

      Attacking Mexico makes no sense for the US. But Russia wants to attack it’s neighbors, China wants to attack it’s neighbors.

      So if we attacked our neighbor it would be a huge propaganda coup for them and practically give them permission.

      So if the Trump administration tries to go into Mexico against the will of the Mexican government, that’s the clearest sign the they’re doing a favor for Russia.

      Because Republican politicians never gave a shit about our troops or our vets. They only pretend to in order to get votes. But they don’t give a fuck about active service members and vets.

      At a certain point the Pentagon has to take control, right? That oath we all swore to mentioned enemies “foreign and domestic”. Washington has clearly lost their mind.

      Frankly I’m shrugging too because the majority of voters just voted him in earlier this month 🤷🏼‍♂️ the country voted for this.

      Trump also pardoned convicted war criminals who murdered innocent civilians in combat. Trump is a psychopath.

      Trump isn’t picking anyone, he’s at the ufc fight with Elon right now. Not sure who to but he’s outsourced this job. Prob putey

      I fucking watched that orange prick “disappear” protestors into unmarked white vans in Portland in 2020, to unknown “blacksites.” No arraignment, no judge, no attorneys. He will 100% do this shit again, like any dictator, at the moment of dissent. You have my word on that.
      Only person who stopped him from massacring the protestors in DC on his way to a photo shoot with an upside down bible he’s never read is no longer around. Brakes are off on this runaway train of lunacy.
      RIP America, 1776-2014.

      they don’t shrug it’s a part in the plan to make America Fascist

    16. LovinLifeForever on

      He told all of us what he was going to do, and you ignored it. I’m so disenfranchised by the passivist Democrats. Get your fucking shit together and DO SOMETHING!!!

      Welcome to the next 4 years barring dementia-related cardiovascular collapse.

    21. Braindead_Crow on

      They going to do anything about it or am I going to have to flee this hell hole of a country? Wtf is going on with the checks and balances?

    22. cobarbob on

      This is a headline from a year ago right?

      Is anyone surprised this is how it’s going down?

    25. Mmicb0b on

      THings like this give me relief because if he can’t use the military to enforce his plans he can’t do them period

    26. AutomateAway on

      because one party embraces fascism so this just feels comfortable to them

    28. YakiVegas on

      I REALLY don’t want to see my country have a military coup or a civil war. This shit is crazy.

    29. Fuzzylittlebastard on

      Trump’s plans are going to fail… Hard. There are 82 veterans in Congress. Most of which are Republicans admittedly, but still. It’s only a matter of time before at least a handful of them start turning against Trump for this military bullshit he’s pulling.

    30. dosumthinboutthebots on

      What an absolutely spectacular headline to sum up society today. Yet somehow people give more leeway, respect and latitude to the people acting like deranged anti democratic lunatics than the people looking out for the country.

      I kinda feel like trump’s not gonna make it to his inauguration. IDK maybe I’m still in denial about the election and any of this actually happening.
