before it's too late. Once he installs MAGA military leaders—and who's to stop him—it's all over.

Trump and his minions probably also worry about this and thus need to get rid of anyone who supports the Constitution and not a lawless president. Relinquishing the NATO command may be the first step to illegally pulling out of NATO to support Putin. Hegseth will do anything Trump tells him to do because he was selected for subservience to Trump, not competence. We’ll be seeing more military leaders stripped of their jobs.

At best we could see a revolt of senior officers against mistreatment of other senior officers and disregard for military protocol and tradition. It has been hard for me to believe that a roomful of three- and four-star officers are continuing to sit through the abuse I know is coming at them from a draft dodger and his drunken defense secretary (a National Guard major). Trump might just go off on the wrong four-star at the wrong time, and then all bets might be off.

But to expect the military to rise and overthrow Trump to save the Judiciary and Social Security, is really wishful thinking I am afraid.

that unlike other dictatorships around the world, Americans have millions of guns. When Trump starts jailing Democrats in Congress, journalists and judges, that will be the next step. Then, the only step left will be the outright killing of people.

opportunity for stopping the coup that began on January 6, 2021, is quickly closing.

Hahahahahaha...

Kinda way too late to moan and groan about this evil anti-American fascist shit that the GOP enabled...

Then you know what the Felon has been instructed to do.
Our enemies are winning the war against America via the Felon without firing a shot.

WWPD?

To be pardoned. What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

They're just making noise for public pabulum. Nothing will change.

And moving all their bribes to off shore accounts, and insider trading grabs.

So, this is the red line and we're supposed to believe that NOW they're going to stand up to Comrade Krasnov and his pet muskrat??? My guess is they'll cave so fast it'll make our heads spin. They are the biggest bunch of gutless, spineless, lily-livered, yellow-bellied, chickenshit cowards to walk this earth.

That would be Putin.

and what unchecked craziness they will agree to without any regard to laws or basic human decency.

n/t

Don't worry, they'll fall back in line when their master tells them to.
Cowardice is a prime requirement to be a Republican legislator.
After all, it's far more important to keep your job than to stand up for your country.
Wouldn't want to get primaried, would we?

Let's see how long it takes for Trump to threaten them.

Some to forget what they are seeing and maybe some looking for courage to speak up.

!@#$%

Isn't that precious?

The Congressional GOP thinks Trump hasn't already made them his nutless lapdogs.

If you gut your officer corps and replace them with Trump loyalists, military effectiveness will suffer accordingly.

Just ask the ghost of Joe Stalin. In 1936 the Red Army was the largest and most powerful in the world. In 1937-38 Stalin purged the officer corps, including two-thirds of the generals. In June 1941 the Nazis absolutely rolled over the Red Army. In November 1942, the Red Army had just barely rebuilt the basic level of tactical ability to conduct a counterattack - after 18 months, 1800 km of retreat, 10 million military casualties, and loss of more than 30,000 aircraft and 40,000 tanks.

The quality of your officers matters a great deal, and no, you can't just fake it like Trump and Musk have been doing.

Maybe it was her writing from a few weeks ago listing by name and rank every upper level or head military commander Trump has fired, with more to come.....
I'll try and find it, but in my way of thinking, it was by far the most frightening thing he has done so far....

I swear, my mind is starting to go in my old age......

It's literally like a year's worth of nightmares in less than 3 months.

More like a lifetime's worth in less than 3 months.

The only difference between the nightmares and the last three months, is you can awaken from a nightmare and be thankful it isn't real...........
