Trump and Musk have personality disorders.
Their madness is playing out in real time. They should both be detained under the Mental Health Act before they damage any more lives and destroy the USA.
All Americans, and I mean, Republicans and Maga alike, will all be in concentration camps as this monster continues to destroy our Republic, Democracy and our freedom.
Bet the plan involves replacing the military chiefs with people whose primary qualification is loyalty to the president and a willingness to carry out orders- no matter what they are.
Not a damn egg went down, employment rate is about to go up, there is an imminent as president at this point, listen yall go watch Hand Maids Tale and let me know if you feel the same vibe brewing. Everyday I feel like I’m in a reality show that I didn’t sign up for smh this is some effed up sh!t.
Yall we see all this stuff in our faces. We complaining but on some real shit what’s the plan at this point? Yall let the devil in again after his proven track record of sucking and his blueprint in black and white. Yall didn’t take shit seriously and the Republican Party controls everything so now?
Setting America up for an outside attack so he can declare martial law and never leave. A lot of us know how to get out of this hell. But others are still thinking it won't come to that.😐
Besides the optics of firing a senior military officer who happens to be black during black history month, this administration doesn't want experts in these positions, they want loyalists that will follow orders without question. That should worry everybody.
For shame @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social you are a terrible president. How do you think firing all these thousands of people will affect the economy. You are not very smart. Quit!
The Republican administration's goal in firing military officers is to consolidate power for authoritarian rule; the war on diversity is a red herring.
Diversity is Trump, he's orange, less than 0.00001% of the population is orange, so by his rules and logic, he should voluntarily resign/quit without delay.
Please welcome our new head of the Joint Chiefs, Enrique Tarrio—fresh out of prison and ready to turn the Proud Boys into a new military branch solely dedicated to protecting Trump and his family.
The chiefs don't really exercise command authority over troops... they're mostly administrative/advisory posts. So I'd guess it's just pure unadulterated animus over Gen. Brown being Black. Depressing.
He fired the black man and the only woman and left the white men in place. Your reporting and headlines suck! We are watching a coup and destruction of democracy and you write headlines to make this bullshit and insanity seem normal. We won’t have a country in less than 6 months at this rate.
The NYTimes is that stupid commentator who shifts nervously in the chair & covers their mouth when speaking on racism. No steely courage, no honesty.
This is what racism does & always has; it sees the ascending OTHER, panics and seethes. All the while installing loyalists of lesser everything.
You will not find a replacement as heavily credible, decorated, and honourable than this General….. He is truly a quintessential officer and gentleman…. American hero!
Stand tall!
Congress NEEDS TO ACT! Stop the madness in this administration….
Not sure this is because he’s black, but absolutely was fired because he wouldn’t kiss Trump’s enormous flabby, cottage-cheese ass. He’d have had to kiss 5X harder, but if he was a full loyalist, he’d still be in place I suspect. Ability doesn’t matter, only if they’ll break the law when asked to.
Why are Democrats afraid to refer to this as a racist firing? They all say it’s “political.” Stop pulling your punches. He replaced a black general with a less qualified, retired white man. It’s racism.
As I understand it, 3- and 4-star ranks are attached to particular jobs. When moved out of those jobs, generals (admirals) can either retire at that rank or be demoted to a lower grade (affecting retirement benefits).
Now they have a lily white room of military men. What's wrong with these men? They seem to be afraid of women and people of color. They sound like major cowards to me.
Of course he fired an African American general and 2 female admirals. They will be replaced by white, male boot-lickers. That seems to be the only essential qualification.
They're doing this as fast as possible before the sloths in the rest of the government figure out how to stop him using legal means.
People need to institute a Go-Slow policy to restrict the damage while the judges wake-up and powder their wigs.
Well, we have a racist , sexist president (Musk or Trump, take your pick) and we voted him/them in (ooo! New pronouns!). Eggs at $10 /dozen, inflation about to rise, and unemployment will go way up. How is it going, America?
Call him Mr. Trump. He’s done nothing to earn the respect of the title. He’s the least presidential president this country has ever had. He makes Watergate look like a candy heist and at least Nixon had the humility to resign.
We as a nation are moving inexorably toward a point of either explosion or implosion. We are going to experience a reaction to the Trump-Musk gradual strangulation of our traditional way of life by either a violent resistance or a passive surrender. There is no middle ground.
"...root out diversity initiatives..." No, this is a racist and sexist assault on any non-white non-male non-cis senior officials. Decorated officers are being fired for not being white men.
This isn't about a diversity initiative, it's an anti-diversity initiative. Fix your posts.
Let’s not forget that Trump is also firing folks who won’t bend to his will. I’ll bet he doesn’t think Gen. Brown would participate in illegal actions like invading Greenland or sending troops against US citizens.
If I were the General I would have quit after Hegseth had the unmitigated gall to “pat me” like a pet. FATWO. A xenophobic military looks about as winning as the Russians vs the Ukrainians
He's firing the heads of military like the did the dept heads. He fires until he finds someone complacent. It's a hostile domestic takeover by trump/kraznov.
Breaking yet another norm, but this is his prerogative. Brown should salute, hold his head high, and move on. But Trump will never learn. This fool is nominating Dan ‘Razin’ Cane to replace Brown just because he likes his name; you know, like Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis. How did that work out for him…
This is just the first of hundreds. Trump is a Russian Asset. This is going to be a revolving door. No loyal and honest American service man or woman would follow this cretin’s illegal orders.
Gee NY Times that's kinda a strange way to write that he was fired because he's black and the POTUS and the alcoholic Sec of Defense are massive racists.
Let’s just call a spade a spade. He fired him because he’s black. They were never going to keep a black guy in that position when they are all racists who think any black American with a job is a DEI hire.
My fellow Military Veterans and those on Active Duty and in the National Guard, prepare for Trump and Hegseth to deploy you to the National Police Force, to suppress the Constitution and our civil liberties, and at your discretion kill your fellow Americans, who object to Trump and Musk's edicts.
Trump aint FDR/Lincoln/Washington? He like the kingdom of Córdoba who fought as their enemies surrounded them & wiped them out. A house divided like a team experiences entropy & falls. China/Russia/NK will attack networks hubs & nodes to degrade US forces & allies. Systems on Systems.
Federal workers were told they didn’t have to observe Black History Month, yet Trump hosted a MAGA-style black event on the eve of firing the highest decorated Black serviceman ever. Make it make sense!
#Trump wants to end programs that encourage inclusion & diversity. He outwardly fired a highly qualified black man, tells you all you need to know. #PeteHegseth & #DementiaDon are racists & misogynistic. A woman out at the navy & now this.
The nazi administration will claim the firing of senior military office is bc “diVeRsiTy” but he’s likely continue his pattern of loyalty over competence. Could be seen as checker move against a coup.
Being an American is not enough of a qualifier for the use of those 2 words... as a former devil doc, I get kinda particular about how Semper Fi is used. It was the privilege and experience of a lifetime to care for my Marines.
Russia is going to strike the US with nukes the hour Trump leaves office or dies. Maybe sooner. The longer he waits the less likely an Article V invocation can succeed.
This is part of the Nazification of the military. Fire anybody that may not align with The Party and install loyalists willing to go to war for The Party.
I’m sure it’s part of the plan to get the military on Trump’s side so he can declare martial law and use the military to put down dissent.

Good honest people who did excellent jobs have lost their jobs due to these malicious incompetent MAGA.
When the US fires top military generals; it is a disaster for the country.
Now the traitorous orange shit who calls himself a king is cavorting with 🇷🇺 our enemy.
🤮
Their madness is playing out in real time. They should both be detained under the Mental Health Act before they damage any more lives and destroy the USA.
They’re both very ill with Extremely sick and twisted brain pathways.
I feel like we’re fugging doomed.

Fond, quaint old memories.
No more Mr. Nice Democrat.
Getting nervous, or anything?
Please General, stand your ground, fight this “firing” so that you may uphold your oath to protect our constitution from being ripped apart.
Only one reason for his dismissal.

Pretty benign way of saying "because he was Black."

Jim Crow is back in full force.
Who’s going to stop them?
This isn't about a diversity initiative, it's an anti-diversity initiative. Fix your posts.
To the BIPOC especially Black/African American Don't enlist #DontEnlist
The bad guys gonna get you and the rest of us won’t care cause you’re on the side of evil.
Go fuck yourselves.

Let’s be real.
I'm starting to feel a bit nostalgic with this interaction.
Guess who are the first to get recruited or drafted when shit hits the fan.
Have you seen recruiters at Harvard or Princeton?
Some of our best soldiers are minorities and women.
We're stronger for it. 👍
I’m sure it’s part of the plan to get the military on Trump’s side so he can declare martial law and use the military to put down dissent.
