      From the news article:

      “A former Republican consultant has expressed alarm over unconfirmed reports that Donald Trump’s transition team is compiling a list of U.S. military officers for potential court-martial.

      Tara Setmayer, a former adviser to conservative anti-Trump group the Lincoln Project and an ex-Republican congressional staffer, expressed alarm over the reports while speaking on MSNBC on Saturday, describing them as chilling and reminiscent of authoritarian regimes.

      Reuters, citing anonymous sources familiar with the transition planning, reported last week that Trump allies are creating a list of military leaders, including Joint Chiefs of Staff members, to potentially remove from their roles.

      “You know, when you read that in the breaking news, I, literally, got goose bumps,” Setmayer told host Jonathan Capehart. “Those of us who have been warning about this, we are apoplectic.” She added, “This is what Donald Trump said he was going to do. This is what he has been telegraphing for years.”

      NBC also reported on the plan on Saturday, writing that Trump’s team is exploring whether senior officers involved in the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal could face charges, potentially as serious as treason.”

      And the reason? Oh… they said bad things about Trump. I’m pretty sure that’s not in the military code.

      I love all the headlines from other people. “Hey, this guy said this!” “Omg! Really? It must be 100% true! Don’t bother to check the source.”

      Edit: additional info

      “…unconfirmed reports that Donald Trump’s transition team is compiling a list of U.S. military officers for potential court-martial.”

      If he does that it will cause a huge stir, I hope it doesn’t come to that.

      He can fire them however.

      No shit. We already heard him say he wants to be a dictator. We saw him gushing over other dictators. Hell, he let one come to the US, and let his bodyguards attack US citizens with zero outrage or concern. Dude literally couldn’t care less about any American citizen who can’t give him either money, power, or sex. Those are the only things he will give you attention for.

      Too bad we don’t have two more branches of government that could apply checks and balances to his power.
