'Purge anyone who will not be a yes man': Trump readies order allowing him to fire top generals

Forum » Beenos Trumpet » 'Purge anyone who will not be a yes man': Trump readies order allowing him to fire top generals

Nov 13, 2024, 10:25

Despite winning the election just a week ago, President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team aren't wasting any time preparing to staff the federal government — and the military in particular – with diehard loyalists.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the Trump transition team is currently preparing an executive order that would allow him to pave the way for new military leadership that is squarely in the MAGA camp. The draft order would create a so-called "warrior board" made up of retired senior U.S. military personnel who would recommend the firing of generals and admirals who are "lacking in requisite leadership qualities."

The Journal's Vivian Salama, Lara Seligman and Nancy A. Youssef wrote that while the commander in chief can technically already fire any military official, his new warrior board could "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."

According to the paper, the draft order would establish credentials for new military leaders based on "leadership capability, strategic readiness and commitment to military excellence." But the finer details of how the board plans to evaluate candidates for military leadership based on those criteria have not been revealed. One legal expert posited that this is merely cover for Trump to appoint generals based on how loyal they would be to both his political agenda and him personally.

"This looks like an administration getting ready to purge anyone who will not be a yes man,” former U.S. Army lawyer Eric Carpenter, who teaches military law at Florida International University's College of Law, told the Journal. “If you are looking to fire officers who might say no because of the law or their ethics, you set up a system with completely arbitrary standards, so you can fire anyone you want.”

The draft order also appears to mirror what Marquette University professor Risa Brooks warned about in an article for the Council on Foreign Relations' Foreign Affairs publication earlier this year. She wrote in March that "politicians may seek to impose ideological litmus tests in promotions and appointments of senior officers," and that "the result would be profound damage to national security."

"Today, military leaders strive to be impartial in offering advice to the president, lawmakers, and other civilian officials about the use of force. In the future, they may instead tailor their recommendations to the interests of their preferred political party," she wrote. "Apart from undermining the rigor of the advisory process, such internal politicization would erode the overall unity of the military as partisan tensions spread through the ranks. And the American people’s trust in the military would decline as they came to see it as just another politicized institution, as many already see the Supreme Court."

The executive order is also squarely in line with what Trump previously communicated to then-chief of staff John Kelly, a four-star Marine general who was his longest-serving chief of staff, according to an interview he gave to the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg in October. In 2018, Trump told Kelly that he wanted the same kind of generals "that Hitler had," because they were "totally loyal."

Trump also had a tense relationship with Gen. Mark Milley, whom he appointed as chairman to the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2019, putting him in charge of the entire U.S. military. Milley told journalist Bob Woodward that Trump was "fascist to the core," and "the most dangerous person in America." Should Trump sign the executive order creating the "warrior board," it's unlikely he'll have any top military brass who are out of step with him politically for the next four years.

Dnny can I give you n example why a lot of Gnerals deserve to be fired.   In the chaotic disaser i Afghanistan wiothdrawals the US General in charge at Kabul airpport tried to instruct the English army unit geting citizenss and vulerable Afgans ou safely - the ent army unt o fetch people nad big them to the airport.for evacation/   Ehen the US Geneal tried to stop them from sending units to collect vulnerae people they wanted out - he US General gave the  Taliban a list of people they want to evacuate and it si till this day not clear how many f hose people were killed by te Taliban.  

In any event  the Taliban asked the US General to sto the evcuation of the UK Trops endig people intoHKabul to collect people they wand to evcuate - the General tried to instruct the UK oficer toa dhere to the Taliban instrucion to him - it is recorded that the UK Major told him he was a a "bastard" nd the UK Colonel told the US General to "fuck off".    A recorded video of wathappened exist.    

When General Milley who resigned recently because he would be charged with high treason admitted that he was in regular cotact with the General in charge of the Chinese army and excahnge inormation with him - he should have been charged with  High Treason and he still may be under threat of arrest.    The explicit  reason why ey undmined the US army and refused o carry ut orders to them by Trump was Trumps effort to end the never-ending wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The US generls in charge ws corrupt and helped along by the act that the budgt of he Defense Deaprtment has not been audied since 2003 and they were behind hat one sice the system under the became 100% corrupt.   

By he ay hey are running he Ukraine rmy and the results were and are the disaster in the making in Ukraine.    The latest news is theya re ploting to refsue orders given to them by the President - which also amount to High Treason and they will sufer for it.

The oter system they implment ed in trying to aly down quptas o recuiting of soldiers failed miserably So ther idiocy of recruiting illegl migrants t serve in the S army and awaded them with insant US cotozenship was raised bythem and accpted by the US Senate .    The soon wil ave a US Army with 100 000 criminals and terrorists to attack the USA fom within if that idiocy is implemented.   There bigest supporter in that is to be expected is Senator Durbin of Illinois/    

Generals and all offices should obey lawful orders give to th em y their Commander in Chief - t he elected US President - and if they refuse to do that they deserve to be court-marshatalled and sent to jail for life or ay be better still ace a firing squad. 

Unde rhe present Gnerals the S Army has become the laughing stocck of the world adthe US Army has ben weakned beyongd believe.   They would not eb able to occupy Namibia and will be defeated rying to do that. So get rid of te incmpetent politicized  bastards is the bsst way to go.

So I am correct again - thank you  Denny.   :D:D:D

Nov 15, 2024, 06:25

Totally correct Mike. 

You can also add their disgusting wokeness. 

Have men in women's skirts in the army and paying for transgender surgery and hormones etc. 

Milley is on serious jeopardy. He has expressed fears that Trump will recall him to the military and have him court marshalled. He has in fact committed treason.

These clowns also fired soldiers who wouldn't take the deadly jab, ignoring the Nuremberg rule regarding bodily autonomy. 

Recruiting has been a big problem for these Buffoons. Americans are disgusted by the military leadership who have made the US military a laughing stock to all but nutjobs like dense Denise.

This sis total BS again BB.

he fact is he idea that the majority of voters ain the US are Fascists - a alleg by some media elements are really sick.    The media has zro proof of anyhing like that and they repeat it withou any proof.     When Governments in democratic countries turn rogue they areremoved in th next election.

The story is now real shit.    The Democrats under Biden prged everyone who opposed them and they are now claimig Trump will do te ame.   We whave the case of people who for the longest perid in heir lives were Democrats and no in Governent,   Include in that list Trump, Keenedy and  Gaabbard and Vance as well - who ow oppose the Democrats.  Is thata sin?   

When Trump make cabinet and key appoitments they are condemned - but Biden made appointments that turned out to be totally incompetent and ultra-leftist ideologues - that is OK.

The fact is the US Generals got there pomotion sitting  in offices at te Pentagon - not when battles is fought in wars,    The result is they fuck up everything they touich,    The wirhdrawal frm Afghanistan was a total fuck up .   They bugger up royally in Ukraine as well.   That is why the Ukraine army is under constant pressure tying to act on the Washington instructions.

The ability of fighting soldies have been destroyed by the Penagon generals,    The Generals are totally dedicated to promote ideas that weaken the fighting ability by the USA Army  and the quota system they intorduced result in the amy not be able to recruit soldiers,    

The weakening of the US army is notorious and the enemies of the USA knows it,    When teh Chairman of  he army command is in regular contact with the Head of the Chinese Army he should be put before a firing squad.   He resigned in Ocober to avoid appearing before a court marshall for undrmining the US Army.    The present Secretary of  Defense Austin vanished for 14 days and nobody bothered to inform Biden that he was sick and not at ork.   He was incompetent as well. 

No wonder Trump appoited  fighting sodier as Secretary of Defense - the rest of the candidatess were as untrustworthy as Austin and Milley was,    Like in the case of the Justice Deaprtment , the FBI and the CIA the cleaning out of incompetts in the Defense Deparmet is long overdue.   

Obama's third term of rule was supposed to be Clinton in 2016 - but Clinton lost the 2016 election - so it was delayed to 2020 with the fourth  to be Harris as Presidnt. in 2024   The USA outlived the two successors - but the poison is still the bureacrats,   and that would be done over the next 30 months,

The first Department that would eb done away with in total would he the Department of Education  -   Education is a State and not a Federal F unction and he Federal Government can a ciore Deparment to monitorwas is happening on  State evel and provide uidance in improving he hottibl e situation is in Democrat States in particular - i mos Republican Sttes he ducation qualiy provided is 70% better han it is in Demcratic States where the Teachers Uion runs the Department - eg in California. 

The nex taret would be the Health Department - another State function - where the Departmnt should slo be a co-odinating Deparment and the corruptin should eb eliminated.   Te Trump Government ill als hamstrung Gates comtrol over Health by cutting off tes with the WHO and the cotrol Biden gave th organization tomanage health issues in the USA.   Whole divisions of he Department ill be eliminaed and especially those with links to funding of gin ndfunction research,    ike in he case of Education the epartmet will cordinate action and ensure at stte ealth Deparments do ot destry Healt Services throuh gros incompetence and control the budge of allocaion of Stae funds o State Deprtments. and stabndard o service maintnance on a scietific basis.

Anoher Department tatwould eb reded toa maximum evel witll be the Afgriculture Dpartment - with removal ften thusands of efgultions that undermine farming nationally    80%  of the Federal Department staff is likely to get the boot ad oincomptents will be fired as wll.   

Another case would be tat at least 70$% of he Justice Department stff will be looking fr new jobs and that include he FBI.   here ar tens of housaqnds of comptent Police managers countrwide hat coud replace the BStes ow in charge and destroying the US constitution in the process.    All I can say is the cleaning out of filth in the US public Service will save the taxpayers at least $1 trillion if not more,

Denny - ignorance 100% and corruption in the Public Service  100% .    That is when the US Auditor General reported in one project $5,4 billion vanished into ti air and the FBI rfuse to investia who were involved and foud ot what happened to the money because it may embarrass their partners in crime.     When the banks reported to the FBI ha their were hudreds f cases where the Biden used shelf companies to launder mney paid in bribe to the Biden family the FBI filed the reports adrefuse to investigate crimes reportedto them by the banks and just filed the reprs and refuse to invesiate it since only $40 million was involved,    

Since the Republicans got copies of the Bank rports to the FBI foced the FBI to sbmit the bank reports in the House  Wraty gave them the reports and when he was pressured to give a progress rport on what happened and Wray refused tt answer since it si according to him an ongoing investigation - which was a lie since there was no nmgoing imestigtion at all.

When the Clinton Foundation got a "donation" of  $38 million from a Bank in Kiev when the world Bank gave a loan of $1 billion to Ukraine and Cliton as Foreign Secretary help the Ukraine Government to ge he money the $38 million wnet to Clinton Foundation projects to help people - but in that case he sufferers were the poor Clinton family.

When Clinton 2016 campaign manager wrot an e-mail to her to express hi alarm abot the ussian Hoax story in full swing and he got an investment of $168 million from a Rusian Kremlin company in his company dealing with Green Projects as wel as 75 000 shares of  a Russian Company which he transferred to a company his daughter's company registered in Vermont became public knowledge.   In her reponse Clinton wrote eh must not worry - "I have direct access to Putin's inner sanctum"   - anohe document they got despite Cliton destroyingh laptop on which the eport was listed - but again no invetigation.   By the way Bidn appointed Podesta as head of  the DIA  and one wndes ho much moey hes toe from that Agency.

When eh House under Pelosi voted a $1 Billion grant to Ukraine days after the Rusian invasion in "structural" aid to Ukraine th deliver was taken to Kiev by Pelosi and Schiff three days after approval.    S o what happened with the $1 billion?   The $1 billion was investd by the Ukraine Goernment in FTX,    So what happened to the money afterwards?   The DNC got a donation of $70 million from FTX to coer midterm eecion costs in the 2022 mid=tem elections - he res of the $1 billion vanished and was part of the $5 billion that FTX lost,   No problem - Bidn will ardon Banker-Fields before helet e Presidency and the oney wil remain missing in action.   

So the FBI must not be delt with and cleaned up - neither must the case be  with the 15% arms producers in the USA paid in Commission to politicians and bureaucrats involved in proven bribery and corruption and Trump must  allow continuation of that type of thing in the USA Govenment?

No  won't - he appoined a  Comsion headed by Musk and Ramasary to clean up te corupt mess in 30 months time nd gt rid of the epicenter of coruption in the USA.    So the dear Wray of the FBI will get fired  and  may be charged .with complicity to hide criminal  ffences from being investigated and so would  ssring of toehr Senior FBI offcials and the nest of corruption in the Public Service  will be stopped.     

For a hell of a lot of criminals in the Government of the USA will suffe fom "Go to jail - go directly to jail and do not pass go and  collect $200*  as is done in the  Monopoly game.   Many will un to give State evidnce againsttheir partners in crime adhe snaes will end up in jail.   

That is if  Trump and Vance will live until inauguration day in January 2025 - if they do it will be a bloody miracle.           .             .

BB and  Denny

Why do you hate the truth?   

What I think is bothering the leftist media more is Trump's threat to make the list of Pedophile customers on Epstein's Island  available to he Public,  The list will definitely include Bill Clinton  and Gates - but also a likely number of other Democrat lumnaries and th guilty ones will face court charges if the Justice Department are changed by Trump to ensure enforcement of laws also iro D P crooks and criminas.   .    .

Now, ou Maaik, do you have any photographs of Bill Gates, Prince Andrew or Bill Clinton with Jeffrey Epstein?

Nov 18, 2024, 18:08

If Trump was Guilty he woud not relese the blackbook on Epstein like Trump said he would,   You are the bggest arsehole and imbecile alive.     Sowing picture at socia; functionsa re no evidence o cbeing guilty of a crime. anyway - so your heroes are going to be the biggest sfferers on release of thse blackbook and he culrprits will be c harged with criminal offenses and end up in jail.
