The party of (theoretically) individualism and self-determination and steely-eyed frontier bootstrap bullshit sure seems happy to let a New York reality tv real estate bankruptcy magnet walk all over them and steal what power they had scraped together. Sad.

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

King Musk-Trump removed the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour (without cause) and trying to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander. Yep, being Black is a crime.

Purge senior military leadership, install people they hope will follow criminal orders. And purge the JAGs, which they hope will give those orders a lawful veneer. It’s not just the risk of war crimes being committed overseas. It’s the likelihood of trying to use the military against Americans.

Yes, but it makes it so much easier to round up your own citizens and disappear them with no JAGs around.

We now enter this new hellish chapter Today we learned they’re going to start putting detainees into military camps (immigrants first) and Trump has installed a new Joint Chiefs of Staff he deems loyal Plus fired all the Senior JAGS of Army, Navy & Air Force This should make everyone very afraid

Here’s what is going on. When you start firing the military’s top lawyers, that means you are getting ready to order the military to do unlawful things. Trump replaces those JAGs with men who will justify any future unlawful and unethical actions that he wants the military to do.

submitted 5 hours ago • 11 comments

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.
