This is very alarming, both from a racial perspective and also from an authoritarian perspective. Trump putting his own guy in there is probably out of fear of the military, one of the safeguards of the Constitution. Historically, the military would hold him in check. What now?
This country does not have a grain of checks and balances. Democracy here runs on the assumption that gov will behave and obey rules by their own volition.
That was true as soon as the GOP voted to let Trump get away with treason and not impeach him. Its just a damn shame so few realized that during the election.
Jenn Psaki I so appreciate this report. I remember when I first saw you as Biden’s press secretary and thought…how refreshing a person who is articulate and understands government. It’s disturbing we’re back in the chaos but grounding that you are shining a light on the pervasive corruption.
Firing the Chair of Joint Chiefs. Attacking Zelensky.
These aren’t just political stunts—they’re deliberate acts of destabilization. A weakened U.S. isn’t just a crisis at home, it’s a global threat.
How much more can unravel before it’s too late?
An unstable America is a dangerous America. 🌗✨
All media should say what she just did: "end programs to promote equality" rather than "DEI" programs. Say what it is, not an acronym that is likely meaningless to most people.
Since constitutional checks & balances have crumbled, our Dem Reps MUST organize sustained protests at the WH. Current protests pale in comparison to the strong arm dismantling going on. There NEEDS to be a very large, loud, and angry mob of 1 mill+ planted outside the WH like STAT. This is not ok.
One great thing about our country is the military has never been politicized. Losing political neutral military leadership is a tragedy and a potentially disastrous for us all.
Why surrender like Trump to Putin?
This fight is just begining.
Its what Trump has been pushing for from day one.
He wants civil unrest to allow him to enact the greatest theft of America's wealth in history.
Don't get distracted by his smoke screen.
This is absolutely outrageous trump fired Brown because he is black and Franchetti because she is a woman they were qualified for their jobs he put a retired 3 star general in charge of the military yet another unqualified trump pick like his unqualified cabinet which is the best reason for DEI
This should surprise no one who was paying attention during the election. I could never understand why any black male would vote for the Orange Julius. Ask Rick Scott. How did that workout? The females figured it out. The males should have listened.
Triple f for Mitch McConnell, because he was the one that could have actually ensured Trump could not run again through ensuring conviction in the Senate after impeachment by the House
Even if Garland got a conviction for Trump, he could still run from jail…
So much of what is going on today is Mitch McConnell’s fault. It has been my privilege as a Kentuckian to vote against him for 40 years! He did manage to manipulate the KY constitution so even if he was to resign today, our Democratic Governor couldn’t nominate a Dem for his seat.
He might have said NO to Trump declaring martial law.I hope our military remembers its oath;I’ve experienced military participating in state terrorism-state initiated violence against its citizens in the name of political or religious ideology-during civic-military dictatorships in other countries.
Trump doesn’t understand the reason why he’s able to fire these generals, It’s because they honor their duty to the constitution. It doesn’t matter how many generals he fires. Rank and file will follow the constitution. When his term is up, he will vacate the premises, willingly or unwillingly.
I heard this from someone else while doom scrolling… This is in preparation for martial law. It fits the goals of President Elonia and his fat orange lackey. I wish I was loaded so I could just move my family to another country.
The end game of these fascists is a society controlled by an aristocracy of white, cis-gendered, heterosexual, pseudo-Christian, conservative able-bodied men.
Of course. Anyone with half a brain can tell, that those stars on his shoulder and the medals on his chest is just DEI issue... And since Dodo Trump only has half a brain he saw it right away...
I call it for what it is: Convicted Felon. Found guilty of 34 Felonies, Sentenced but Sentence frozen. Jury of 12 VOTERS found it guilty. Now Convicted Felon wants to end Law Enforcement because it was Convicted of Crimes, by a Jury fair & Square. Shameful
I think you have it backwards. I think he wants to cause a military coup - and it will be against the American people. And he needs to get ethical, principled men out of his way in order to do it. He needs to get anyone unwilling to follow illegal orders out of the way.
BSDNC just lost a 30 million lawsuit for lying to the US. COMCAST can't wait to cut BSDNC loose because it's a loser! But DEI hired Gen. Brown, the bigger loser for judging people by the color of their skin, not the conduct of their character.
Into the streets we go. Our institutions are falling like dominos. We aren't going to get out of this unscathed. We could have done it the easy way by NOT letting him get neglected. Now he's in power, breaking everything with impunity, bullying, intimidating, threatening & harming millions.
In project 25 it was stated there were too many generals and plan was to reduce their numbers..so who will then command the military? Your commander in chief.
It's somewhere between pages 104 and 116
I thing Trump is attempting to create a force (legitimate army forces & anti-government militia) that he feels he will be able to turn on Americans who forcibly oppose him as he creates his New Kingdom. WTF!! This guy insanely hates Democracy.
Benedict Arnold!
“He led British forces in battle against the army which he had once commanded, and his name became synonymous with treason and betrayal in the United States.”
Trump is getting all his top military sycophants in place ready to invade Greenland and Panama (nuts?). Nothing is beyond Trump's insanity. America is truly cooked
That won’t change the trajectory of the Heritage Foundation’s plans for this country in Project 2025. Trump is a figurehead buffoon and we have an even more dangerous VP. We’ll still have SCOTUS, Musk, Patel, Bondi, Miller, Putin, disinformation, militias and the greedy cowards in Congress.
Disgusting. I have had my fill of mediocre white men. Not all are mediocre but 90% of them are. Men are also WAY too emotional. They MUST travel in packs b/c they are scared. They FREAK OUT w/ competent women. Not all, but most do.
Hmmm just more of the moves that Trump premeditated over the last little while. Sad that this country doesn't see that they elected a dictator but with a dash of mob style bullying, the country will feel it though Republicans and democrats. Sorry what's happening with your country is concerning!
That guy in the White House does not want opposition if he declares a coup d’etat. Hopefully, other conscious generals and officials will see through that wannabe dictator
On the other hand, the current occupant of the White House seems to always appoint unqualified people to posts, people he can control and who let him think he is smart but also are willing to sidestep a few ethics.
Soon FBI investigations into members of congress will lead to quick arrests with little reasoning. Courts will object but be ignored then investigated themselves, dissenters arrested as enemies of the state and replaced
What do you need? The✅️ are coming fast😬
We're outside, we want to help. How?
💜🇨🇦🌎
If it seems like Trump is handing the keys over to Putin and saying “You drive!”, it’s because he is. With imbeciles and sleeper agents at the helm of every government agency meant to keep us safe, & firing every experienced individual, we are wide open to an invasion from foreign adversaries.
More than likely he wants people in the top military posts who a) are male and white and b) won't disobey an order to deploy troops into the streets to put down demonstrations.
This is very sad 😔. A great Gen being fired bc his BLACK! DJT should be assumed. Yah, right like that would happen. We have to remove him co president, & VP! Then maybe we get things back in order.
Kings. Third Terms. “Won’t ever have to vote again.” The critical difference between the only insurrection in our history, and the one we fear is brewing, is that the President then wasn’t the insurrectionist.
If only straight white men will be rewarded and advance in life, why the fuck should anyone who doesn't fit the description participate in working and helping this country? General strike now!!
Trump is really pushing it.. He’s not insane, he’s flat out stupid and racist.. Like I said before, Trump still thinks he’s on his game show.. Just telling ppl they are fired. It’s a game to him but to others it’s not. He’s giving power for other countries to attack and weaken America… SMMFH
As a US Navy Gold Star Mother, this is heartbreaking to hear. If my son were still alive, he would now be a retired Vet, and I know he would be protesting in DC everyday. Trying my best to keep up the fight for democracy in honor of my son's 14 yrs of service.
How We stop the coup. is there anyone in the military who can stand up? it's almost like there has to be a military revolt? could there be will there be what the hell is happening
So #Krasnov means "The Red One". Actually they got it wrong. It should be #Oranzhevov meaning "The Orange One". #Traitor #KBG #PutinsPuppet #Praetorian #Coup
Pathetic actions by a pathetic man. General Brown Jr. is more honor than anyone serving with Trump. If the Republican Senators don’t come to his defense it’s a disgrace.
Insulting they disregard everything about this honorable man except his skin color. Their cries of 'DEI hire' and 'woke' are thinly veiled euphemisms for the n word. America is better than this. Soon she'll wake up, shake off the shell shock and reject this assault on her.
The evil currently in charge doesn't change the fundamental good of American democracy. I believe that good will win out in the end. Look at the GOP town halls, the people are rising up.
People please!
I undetstand many have never served our great nation however; each soldier has the right to disobey a rogue order even one from the commsnder in chief.
Trust our military to defend our constitution and us over Trump!
So Trump will be deploying troops to Ukraine on Putins side.
Thinking that Putin will cut him in when dividing the spoils.
Not realising Putin has won the cold war and ownes the US now.
The benefit to those fired by Dumpf, is that all they'd have to do is relate who fired them and there'd be no question as to their superior performance nor ethics :)
“‘Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan ‘Razin’ Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,’ Mr. Trump said in a message on Truth Social.”
At this point I am convinced they are doing every racist, bigoted action to try and goad a massive riot type response to have an excuse for the Insurrection Act. Trouble is most of us see that is what they want. So they keep pushing there will be a tipping point sadly

Be careful, he his dismantling your armed forces on purpose, Putin wants to conquer you and traitor is the pawn.
" Putin declares Russia's 1867 sale of Alaska to the U.S. is 'illegal "

didn’t figure it out either
Even if Garland got a conviction for Trump, he could still run from jail…
Almost 2 million third party votes.
This is all on "US."

“Oh…”

Trump is trying to destroy the military chain of command. At this point, I think we’d all welcome a military-led coup.
Holy shit. 😖
