Judge Advocates General.

He’s fired the top military lawyers in each service.

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

And still, EVERY elected official and everyone that is in a senior position are sitting on their hands like this isn't happening.

Ridding the military of legal oversight is the beginning of enabling the military to violate any law Trump orders it to violate.

Trump may be immune from the law, per SCOTUS, but to make service members immune from The Uniform Code of Military Justice requires Presidential pardons.

RECRUITED FROM THE NRA. How long have I been screaming this…

Whoever replaces them needs to be dismissed in 2028. The slate will need to be cleaned again. Presuming the GOP loses, and accepts the loss, of course. That remains to be seen.

Wants ones who say it’s legal to shoot protesters.

He will get more negative attention for this than he counted on, simply because there are a bunch of middle-aged people in America who watched that TV show.

Shocked but not surprised though

haphazardcloud.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Indiscriminately and without naming them.

He’s got plans that ethical lawyers wouldn’t like.

There needs to be some indication that I saw this, some kind of acknowledgement that isn't a ❤. Because I don't love seeing people wrecking the entire country right before or eyes.

calexpomonorail.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Because he's America's biggest jag.

Watch for characters of few moral scruples to be chosen as their replacements.

What
Stalin did this
Years from now the question will be
Why didn't anyone stop this?

boundaryspanner.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Who is going to stop them?

When he tried the first coup I thanked God for an independent military.

This is how you do a coup right.

Terrifying.

Martial law is coming. Dammit.

Tin Soldiers and Trump is coming
We're finally on our own…

So now I’m wondering: what is required to meet the legal definition of a State Convention under Article V?

artistdo.bsky.social•19 hours ago

That sounds bad

mrsdianek.bsky.social•22 hours ago

One is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, third time it's war. This is a war.

On Friday afternoon.

Why today?

well-read-rose.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Purposely!

So it isn’t covered well by the press or noticed by the public doing weekend things.

Every Friday they will do the most sneaky and egregious moves.

hueythekingfish.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Oh I know. Was juts being snarky.

well-read-rose.bsky.social•21 hours ago

:))

Helpful to spell out for anyone reading anyhow

Nobody cares about news Friday night or Saturday

danielsand.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I’m guessing the thinking is if the armed services have no lawyers, they won’t know the order Hegseth is going to give is very illegal.

Nearly everyone in the military is far smarter than that. A hell of a lot smarter than Hegseth.

dukeofsnoop.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I think it’s that if there are no JAG prosecutors to enforce uniform military code of justice, soldiers will be free to follow illegal orders

brewlord.bsky.social•21 hours ago

TBF, my cats are smarter than Hegseth.

Coup prevention?

gregmeineke.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Or coup completion, depending on how you look at it

Touchè

jos1463.bsky.social•21 hours ago

very very very bad.

Ensuring political loyalty and legal cover for future war crimes.

astrid6.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Pretty soon Our country will be run by ‘know nothings’! God forbid something happens to threaten the US, all the department heads will be trying to call back all the generals that they fired. We will be toast.

wandasusie101.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Oh my God....
This is a nightmare

bcreality.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I wonder what he has in mind for the military that they won't need a judicial system?

daveperrett.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Holy cow!!!
