    They’re trying to investigate the Afghanistan withdrawal.

    Someone should tell them the call is coming from inside the fucking house.

  2. Don’t be surprised when they start talking about firing squads. Team Trump is intentionally trying to destroy America.

    As targets of criminal investigation, Trump and his AG pick Gaetz both benefit if the DOJ is eliminated.

    The withdrawal plan was orchestrated by Trump. He was advised against it (as were most of the military decisions he made while in office) and Biden continued Trumps plan. Trump has absolutely no clue what he is doing.

    Trump loves the military doesn’t he folks? But seriously what is the point of this? Is he and the Sec Def going to try and turn the military loyal to Trump with a purge?

    People who served the country will be denied the pensions they worked hard to earn just so Trump can stroke his ego as a devine ruler.

    The Military should defend itself, and the nation, from a domestic enemy.

  7. Knowing Trump, I wouldn’t necessarily accept this framing.

    More likely than not, it is an attempt to retaliate against Milley and others who were insufficiently loyal.

    The invocation of Afghanistan is merely for pre-textual purposes.

    What would Putin’s puppet do with no checks and balances?

    Neuter the Department of Defense. Shut down the FBI, the agency responsible for counterintelligence. Cabinet appointments that bypass background checks and ethics review.

    The US is on track to becoming a vassal state of Russia on January 20, 2025.

    It’s amazing how ordinary Americans are going on with their daily lives and are unaware of the coup that’s underway in our federal government. During this transitional period, I have been sharing these bizarre developments with coworkers who just don’t understand the scope of what’s taking place. It’s almost as if I’m the only one alarmed.

  10. The disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan was set in motion by Trump’s 2020 Doha Agreement with the Taliban. Trump slashed U.S. troops from 13,000 to 2,500, crippled Afghan air support by pulling contractors, and handed the Taliban a clear timeline for a full withdrawal by May 2021. These actions left the Afghan government vulnerable and the U.S. military without its usual air power—something it heavily relies on.

    When Biden took office, he inherited a no-win situation: either reignite the war by sending thousands of troops back—fueling Trump’s “warhawk” accusations—or proceed with the withdrawal Trump had locked in, knowing it would be chaotic. Biden delayed the deadline to August 31, trying to salvage the process, but the damage was done. The Taliban’s swift takeover was inevitable, thanks to Trump’s deal.

    Yet Trump had the audacity to blame Biden for the chaotic exit, conveniently ignoring that it was his agreement and drawdown that set the stage. The withdrawal wasn’t just Biden’s—it was Trump’s plan, executed under impossible conditions he created.

  11. How does Trump not get impeached. This is completely off the charts, drawing up lists of enemies to arrest. There will be journalists too, I would be amazed if his political opponents aren’t on a list too. Liz Cheney is going to get arrested for something.

  12. SensationalSaturdays on

    I’m not government type, but it feels like you really don’t want to piss of the entire military. Because that’s how you get one of those coup things where they decide you aren’t in charge anymore. 

  13. Imagine Trump ratfucking the US military to the point that they no longer are the most powerful military in the world. It would be hard to do in four years, he takes a lot of time to golf, and his attention is divided amongst several other vendettas. Though if he runs the military like one of his companies I think he has the ability to run it into the ground.

    Turns out Trump wasn’t actually speaking in hyperbole, like the right-wing pundits said he was.

  15. neobeguine on

    Is it just me, or is he double dog daring the military to actually do a coup?

  16. GardenPeep on

    Sounds like a good way to alienate more top military leaders. Court martials are internal to the service. How do they expect to rig that?

  17. If trump tries to have Miley executed, I hope the military rises up and there is a coup. It will be bloody as fuck, but necessary. Otherwise the nation really is done for.

  18. PureBreakfast8612 on

    Messing with good men and women’s careers is disgusting. Dump has no idea the hard work and sacrifice that goes into being in the military.

  19. Hey do you remember how Trump accused the left of using the justice system to attack political rivals?

    As with all republican accusations, it was a confession, and it’s so progressives sound pathetic when they accuse him of doing the same thing.

  20. Authoritarian regimes never start with a purge of the military where competent officers are driven out and loyalist stooges are promoted, right?  Right?

  21. Shaman7102 on

    If he tries to mess with the military, there will be a coup to remove him from power.

  22. > Speaking to NBC News days before the election, Howard Lutnick, one of the two advisers leading the transition, said Trump learned after his first administration that he had hired Democratic generals, and he would not make that mistake again.

    Party membership being a requirement for military officers isn’t a good sign.

  23. Wonderful-Variation on

    This is really scary. Trump hasn’t exactly made it a secret that he fantasizes about using the military as a tool for quelling domestic protests. So, the fact that he seems suddenly so interested in recalibrating the military’s top-level leadership really is ominous.

    This is setting the stage. He wants people in charge of the military who won’t say “No” when he starts issuing blatantly illegal orders.

  24. Critical_Pudding389 on

    Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have to do something. We are about to be taken over by a foreign government. No president has the right to dismantle what our founders left us. Why is this being allowed to continue!

  25. campfire_eventide on

    Yeah, at some point it just seems like between this and appointing a Fox News anchor platoon leader with no high-ranking military leadership experience who’s dangerously underqualified and accused of rape as our Sec of Defense, it has to be considered a national security issue. None of this is sane.

  26. darsvedder on

    But stealing state secrets and selling the to our enemies isn’t treason? Got it 

  27. Raspberries-Are-Evil on

    Trump surrendered to the Taliban. Biden was just following the agreement Trump made.

    Fuck everyone who is going to let him rewrite history.

    No General is going to take this. They will fight it loud and publicly- and it will backfire on Trump like all his other ridiculous bullshit.

  28. So Trump wants the president to be immune from any prosecution for anything they do in office, but wants the military they give those orders to to be held fully accountable and prosecutable for treason.
    What a timeline.
