Yes @adamserwer.bsky.social gets it right. But for all these reasons, it is necessarily an attack on the 14th Amendment. We have to start talking about it in constitutional terms. Because that is what they are resisting.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
