All the talented people he has fired need to unite and help figure out how to stop him. He is picking people who will do the most damage while remaining loyal to him only.

Curious if anyone has info on how the people in the Military are responding?

David Axelrod, former strategist for Obama, said on X, "So the president who dodged the draft with "bone spurs" fires the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--a decorated fighter pilot and Four-Star General--because he's not a 'warfighter?'"

bigbadpapaw.bsky.social•1 hour ago

He wanted someone who would fire on civilians with no hesitation, if ordered to.

Bone spurs.
Tiny incision, chip away with a surgical chisel, 2 stitches and an Aspirin later and you're good to go 😀

I thought Trump was the no war president so why is concerned about the chairman not being a war fighter

Former Democratic Senate candidate Amy McGrath posted to X: "There is no reason to fire the CJCS other than Trump's desire to politicize the military. This weakens our country."

Rep. Seth Moulton, a Mass. Democrat, also called out Trump on X: "Dictators or wannabe kings fire generals who don't agree with their politics. This isn't a banana republic. What Trump & Hegseth are doing is un-American, unpatriotic. It's definition of politicizing our military.”

Tennessee Democrat Chris D. Jackson said on X, "🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just fired Joint Chiefs Chairman CQ Brown—no reason given. That's another highly qualified African American official ousted, only to be replaced by a white guy. This is what 'America First' looks like? So sad."

Republicans
Impeach Trump now
Before this happens

First step to dictatorship
1. gut the government
2. Gut the military
3. Declare a emergency
4. Declare martial law
5. Complete control

As commander-in-chief, Trump’s powers to fire or punish military officers are LIMITED BY LAW. #legal #resist

If President Trump wants to fire generals on his own authority, he would be required to show that the U.S. is currently at war.

Only congress can declare war

Only the president can invoke the Insurrection Act and or martial law.

themeanlantern.bsky.social•6 hours ago

He doesn't need Congress to invoke war on American democracy.

Not that this MAGAT Congress is standing in his way.

Move to replace #JAGs ‘extremely concerning’

The JAGs are the military’s top lawyers who administer the #military code of justice, including defending and prosecuting US service members in military court. #legal

Seems like this is hyperbole to 2/3s of this country including Dem leaders. Keep calling, keep showing up and yelling at town halls, keep writing letters to the editors of your home town newspapers. And Dems in congress, get your asses on every fucking podcast. Not just political ones.

Rep. Smith (D-WA), ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said that it was just “more chaos from Trump on nat security. Firing CQ Brown as joint chiefs chair is completely unjustified. Smart, competent leader to be replaced by a retired 3 star? More weakening of America.”

Joint Chief of Staff Chair Brown was at the U.S.-Mexico border today to assess the military’s border security efforts prior to his firing.

This action to fire him by the President makes no sense.

nikkiwindsor.bsky.social•5 hours ago

It makes sense if you’re a racist.

whodat35.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I would have thought that we have moved beyond that in the armed forces. “We all see green.” I hope that he doesn’t leave and have the president outline and pressed by the American people and all ranks as to exactly “why” he is removing him.

mhougaard.bsky.social•10 hours ago

It makes no sense, unless, in the attempt to destroy the country, one removes the others who have sworn to protect it and the Constitution. Those who have made it their life's called to do so and have repeatedly demonstrated the same.

themeanlantern.bsky.social•6 hours ago

Wake up, man, this is clearing the way for a military coup.

whodat35.bsky.social•4 hours ago

He wants loyalists to support him and wants to get rid of people who follow the constitution and it’s clear that he’s not following the laws right now. Trump wants to declare martial law to use the military against the citizens’ right to protest + use them as private police force against civilians.

whodat35.bsky.social•4 hours ago

I do believe he is also trying to purge military flag officers that follow the constitution. He wants officers who will follow his illegal commands + orders and turn on the American people.

This is him and his Project 2025 purge clearing out all the officers who won't follow his forthcoming illegal orders to take over and suppress all opposition when the time comes.

Anyone who didn't think this was coming has not been paying attention.

King Krasnov of United States of Russia doesn't want competent generals in his army. He wants obedient ones.

whodat35.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Isn’t it obvious that this is just the beginning of Trump converting the U.S. military into his own personal militia? He’ll declare martial law and command a compliant military/turn them on civilian protesters to shoot their kneecaps off.

This supremely qualified man was approved by the Senate in 2023. Will this new Lt. General with very little qualification need to be Senate confirmed? Normally seven year appointments right?

Don’t forget the Coast Guard Commandant’s firing a few weeks ago.

It’s a coup boys and girls but keep talking abt eggs.

Creating the conditions for a hard coup is not shenanigans. It means the lifeblood of the current administration will last well beyond 2028.
Martial law, stratocracy.

chrisweedon.bsky.social•1 hour ago

More akin to modern-day Iran, tech elite and billionaire Christian nationalists take on the role of modern day ayatollahs, while an elected president serves as a facade of democracy while playing golf. The military suppresses dissent through mass illegal detentions.
