I hear he's opening a chicken and waffle franchise with Merrick Garland.

Every replacement I interpret as "A guy who will support m-law".

It’s been beyond sad and tragic ever since that Putin-a$$hat giant orange blob of buffoonery came down that stupid escalator as a candidate the first time
around.

Despicable!

We are witnessing the end of the great American experiment. We were once a great nation.

While not applicable to you, it is sad your network sucked up to this guy for ratings. Hopefully they are happy with the mess they contributed to.

stholeary.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It is applicable to her. She's from the Daily Caller. Why do you think they hired her?

jhuber28.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Fair enough. Agreed.

mkatepaski.bsky.social•20 hours ago

She is one of the only ones that asks real questions of him. Magas don’t like her and he isn’t a fan of hers. He called her names before like he does.

stholeary.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Huh? He steamrolled her at the town hall that got the previous head of CNN fired.

mkatepaski.bsky.social•16 hours ago

I’m talking about now, not 2 years ago. Also, that guy Chris was fired for a litany of things. You can read all about what lead to him getting fired by cnn, not a secret.

His first choice, Sgt. Slaughter, was said to have declined Trump’s offer.

They will use the military to quell any protest against Trump

Why is this four star general not going on the record? It is more important now than ever.

jondcblack7.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Good. If you don't like it, must be good. Trump sold more bibles than anyone this century. I love Jesus

And he is a retired Air National Guard three star.

I wonder why Donald ousted this guy ... 🤔

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.

stholeary.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Tell that general to put their name on the quote or shut up. Whispers to journalists help nobody right now.

realitybites66.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Thank you Kaitlan for 9 years of solid reporting and for asking the hard questions! How about you and @aoc.bsky.social team up to be Our Rebel Leaders? I like the sound of that as I typed it!

Can’t have a proper coup unless the military is made up of proper yes-men.

Anyone is surprised?

markrn64.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Don't you mean Pretend President! He just wants the title to stay out of jail. He is an old, failing hollow vessel that gets trotted out to spew and do controversial things while musk and miller - the true presidents make all of the decisions.

commonsense-ftw.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Replacing him with an already-retired 3-star, no less!! Everything is heading straight to hell in a Trump/Elon-woven basket of donkey dung.

ranterboy.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Now par for the course for the orange menace.

iputadollarin.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Dangerous for our nation
Why does trump think he needs Toadies in charge of the military?
Seems like he has some plans for them

mdeal1.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It is a coup d'etat, period!

spenlow.bsky.social•20 hours ago

That general needs to come on the air and say it publicly.

kea4.bsky.social•20 hours ago

And the JAGS too. This is like a military coup. What are they planning? Why get rid of the top military lawyers?

It’s already a coup. He’s just expanding it into the military.
Expect more of this.

kea4.bsky.social•20 hours ago

You’re right. I can’t believe it.

Keep giving them hell Kaitlan. If you’re not pissing him off you’re not doing it right. But of course he like to be pissed on so I don’t know what to tell you

IKR. How will even make it summer before the whole thing just completely collapses. Eyes wide open and planning as best as I can.

deannpadelo.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Making the military in the image of the J6 thugs I'm sure.

During Covid governor of New York Cuomo had a daily state of the state r rebuttal that became an alternative to Trump maybe Illinois Gov Pitzker could take up the reighns now!!!!

Unqualified white guy replacing a massively qualified black one. If that's not a case for DEI, I don't know what is.

peteyteam.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Trump did it for two reasons… Brown was a Biden appointee, but more importantly, because he’s Black. There’s no limit to the depths of Trump’s hatred.
