So much for people who didn’t believe the warnings that Trump is a fascist who admires Hitler.
raise concerns about politicization of military
Yeah cause a global empire of military bases and secret wars is completely unpolitical. lol.
BuT PaLeNsTiNE!!!
This is literally why the dems lost. People really don’t like genocidal creeps.
This is the one time I wish we could have a military coup organized by some patriotic generals to arrest the incoming administration, and immediately hold a new set of elections. It won’t happen, but it’s nice to think about.
And who gets to define what patriotic is? Trumper fuckeads will disagree with your definition and your scenario opens up a nasty can of worms and slippery slopes.
The reality is, as soon as someone proves he violates the Constitution, the military can only act against the Executive Branch through a unanimous act of Congress because that’s who pays the bills and can legally issue their orders to tactically execute.
Take a guess which political party completely sweeped up all the nations votes and soon controls all aspects of the Legislative Branch?
The Trump transition team is considering a draft executive order that establishes a “warrior board” of retired senior military personnel with the power to review three- and four-star officers and to recommend removals of any deemed unfit for leadership.
Yes, and this is the exercise of that power. In practice, most of the things the President has power to do is delegated, and doubly so when Trump is lazy as shit. Executive Orders are the process of delegating those powers and setting guidelines.
This just isn’t normally done because Presidents usually aren’t afraid that their illegal orders will be ignored.
We’re watching a political thriller irl in real time. Grab your popcorns, because you wont be getting anymore popcorn when the tariffs hit.
