The worst part of this North Korean style sycophancy is that we all know Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this and Trump knows Lutnick doesn’t believe a word of this.

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white retired Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

The occasional #MurdochJournal editorial or NYPost front page disagreeing with Trump is a smokescreen. Murdoch is devoted to the crowning of Trump as the dictator-king he created. This does not echo the Founders. It shouts fascism. #FührerFluffing

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.

Not only are the Congressman’s remarks not a threat but Martin was a defense attorney for people who actually did threaten government officials - the Jan 6th insurrectionists! - and works for a president who has made multiple violent threats (2nd Amendment people and Hillary, folks, remember that?)
