Is there a word for an American who willfully undermines the readiness of the US military?

When do I stop saying “sabotage”
and start saying “coup”?

Best case scenario is this is some perverse tactic to extend the time until we hit the debt ceiling

We used to have cultural memory of these things

Someone who wants to profit from military contracts!

Definitely we are witnessing coup behavior. It’s an attempt at full installation of Trump as dictator. But it’s also an intentional strategy to flood the zone and create so many fires no one can focus. Which means they are doing many other illegal things in the background while we’re scrambling.

Yep it’s what we don’t see that we should worry about. Where’s Elon, where’s Stephen Miller

We know Hegseth is too dumb to review anything so which Project 2025 scum is doing this?

Now, China can't invade anybody at the moment given there's no mobilization, massing of troops, ready infrastructure, etc. (thank god).

But imagine what could get set off if they actually started making just *troop movements*?

To be clear, I do not think that's on, not right now, not soon. I think the CPC are as baffled as anyone else (perhaps more so with how they self-limit gathering American intel), maybe even as afraid.

A lunatic on world's most powerful throne is scary shit even for rulers of billions.

The speed at which he is breaking laws is beyond my imagination. The fact that news media don’t report that he doesn’t have authority to fire IGs and career attorneys or stop paying for things Congress budgeted is making me crazy.

Where is Kamala Harris?

Is she going to sit by while STOP WORK order after STOP WORK order rip through our government?

She’s a friggin’ lawyer. She stumped against Project 2025!

She can sue and go to court, that’s it. And there’s already full organizations doing that. She could like… sign on to them but there is no benefit.

I have not seen a single “full organization” filing a lawsuit against the NIH or NSF STOP WORK EOs. That’s disease research!

Have you? It’s been days & days and NOTHING

I’m asking where Kamala Harris is as a uniting force to rally Democrats to fight against Project 2025. She’s silent. Why?

andersnohr.bsky.social•114 days ago

Because the American people have voted - US rather wants a crazy male narcissist in office than a woman. It happened! Twice!

70two.bsky.social•114 days ago

She’s supposed to care about Americans regardless of votes. And what about the millions who did vote for her? If, as an elected official, you are willing to throw aside voters, even the ones who did vote for you, then you do not belong in office anyway. That’s the whole issue w our government

Picking disputes with allies, stifling the military, cracking down on health research… you have to wonder why this benefits…
