This is so terrible! I’m at a loss for words. Americans are united in supporting the military service members- this will not stand if the pushback is loud from our vets.

How much of the military could the citizens count on if we mounted a rebellion?

Where were the military leaders so far? How stupid it is that they didn’t see this, I mean all of what’s happening.

Now secession from the federation is the only solution. Blue states now have a perfect reason: tRump won’t send them federal funds.

csmarie.bsky.social•14 hours ago

That’s not how this works. Once again, Congress is on the hook here. Military leaders CANNOT go against the Commander-in-Chief, unless it’s unlawful, but they need Congress to do their jobs. Dump can fire generals…unfortunately. Congress can fire generals.

Or Elon.
And look at all the shit he’s doing.
I was actually hoping for a military coup. Would be better than tRump coup.

Now banning children’s books at Pentagon schools. Does not bode well if the military is already willing to comply at this level.

For clarity, our DOD schools are run by DOD civilians. So civilians did that at the expense of our children.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, USAF-a 3-Star General-will get a 4th Star (making him the JUNIOR 4-Star in the military)--then will be made the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff--the MOST SENIOR MILITARY OFFICER?!

Just, "BEGIN NOW", as the USMC DI says, to count who's Not gonna like that!

He's retired, not active duty, ineligible for CJCS.
He does not meet the command requirements either.

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. 🌗✨

thecookout.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Trump has a lame black history reception just so he can set the stage to fire a decorated General simply because he is black.

It’s not just dumb.
It’s not just cruel.
It makes our country less safe.

VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS at the local, state and national levels.

Trump realized one thing: if he had the support of the military, Jan 6th would have been successful. He’s going to need the military this time. Every time I think he can’t get worse, he does. I see nothing that’s going to change that.

ajcarrillo.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Reading his bio, retired Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine would have been a solid nominee for Defense Secretary. Instead, we got Pete Hegseth, the dimwit, second-tier Fox News host.

So then Trump pushed out CQ Brown and nominated Caine for Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff. 🤔

csmarie.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I understand this looks very scary. I’d like to lend some perspective, even if he installs a handful of “yes, men” leadership is pushed to the the lowest ranks. EVERY service member swears an individual oath. The “military” is full of lower middle class and Americans that grew up in poverty.

csmarie.bsky.social•14 hours ago

2. It is unlawful the overthrow the Constitution. We are ALL taught that at the lowest level in bootcamp. Even if a 4star screamed it at me, I’d never stand with ending our democracy. I do not know even one service member that would.

csmarie.bsky.social•14 hours ago

3. If Dump attempts to use our military against our civilian population he will be met with all out defiance. And I hypothesize there would be a military coup to restore our Constitution. Our generals are highly educated individuals that dedicate their lives to serving our country, you and I.

mysteryshopper.bsky.social•3 hours ago

So service men and women, are you just gonna stand by as this clown shits on your oath? As he guts your organizations and destroys your leaders? You gonna capitulate when he tells you to attack citizens who don't agree with him? Tyranny wins when good people do nothing. The time to stand up is now.

The U.S. Reich is building its new SS. Trump just fired General CQ Brown (first Black Joint Chiefs Chair) & Admiral Franchetti (first woman Navy chief). The purge is here. An all-white, all-male military is the goal. If you’re not alarmed, you’re not paying attention.

rjoyce753.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Trump wants Greenland, Panama, and Gaza; probably taking them by force. Which would put us into war with NATO and Arab countries. We have the strongest military in the world, but he’s putting loyalists with no experience in charge of it. Therefore, expect heavy casualties.

The media reports on these purges at FBI and armed forces etc. They report on the creation of his armed militias that he keeps signalling to ; but no one really concludes why. He is getting them ready to turn them on American Citizens. It will be an armed coup. That is the final step domestically.
