The Secretary of Defense was hospitalized for 3 days and no one in the White House knew

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Lloyd Austin a damn fool for this. And if he was too incapacitated to make the decision, then I take that back and I say that whether made that decision is a damn fool for this.

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

You dont fire your first african american secretary of defense in history unless you truly dont care about re election

He won't get fired i agree because of this very fact. But even if he was white, ole soft Brandon wouldn't fire him. However he just handed the Republicans (me included) a good talking point in an election year.






"Where's HUNTER " just became "Where's LLOYD AUSTIN "

There’s definitely tension between Austin and the Biden White House on Israel. Austin came out a couple of weeks back and said Israel is headed for a strategic defeat because of their perception globally and that Israel has no true Pathway to defeating Hamas.

If the White House knew Lloyd was going through something it could set the table for the White House to ask him to step down

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

So you rather have another Ruth B. Ginsburg or Dianne Feinstein type situation?

Fool, this is the Secretary of Defense, not a Supreme Court Judge or Senator.

I hate people who speak as if they know what's happening when they really don't.

 

[TRUEST]

no pazzy but this is very telling to me

they didn't think it would make a difference if they told him

biden must really be a weekend at bernies ass corpse at this point

Yup. His position was not important enough to warrant informing the president about.

And dude can’t get fired for this. The nerve of y’all even mentioning that as a possibility. He’s the sick one. Who needed to be put in icu. His second in command should have reported it to whoever needed to be briefed.

That's the WH official line too though right?

supportive but want them to chill out in public and private

This is where comprehension skills can be your friend. I was implying people in important positions not being fit (health wise) to do their job and remain in position. I'm not sure how you couldn't have interpreted that.

Seemed like you were implying that if he dies in his position (like Ginsberg and Feinstein did) that it would affect who gets appointed to replace him, when the Secretary of Defense serves at the leisure of the sitting president and he will choose someone that he wants.

Reports are saying he was in ICU There's gotta be some kinda protocol beyond the Secretary or their ability to communicate that. I'm legit alarmed by the failure.

The real conspiracy and truly scary fact is most humans in high places are just winging it like regular people because the vast majority are. There aren’t all these grand evil plans by mastermind evil geniuses. Just your regular motivated run of the mill usually racist person

That's fair and I see.

If you read the article it says someone assumed his role from Jan 1 - Jan 5. How does someone assume his role in the National Security Council without the president knowing?

It doesn't really scare me but idk why the pentagon wouldn't tell the president right away lol.

Because people in those positions have a top deputy, who can and often does assume their role without much change, like the deputy AG

and the president can't really even keep track of everything, not even close, he relies on those external organizations to function essentially on their own

So, there are occasionally breakdowns. And these are in a lot of ways meant to be independent, it's another form of checks and balances,

For example when DOJ under Barr was filing indictments against Republican allies of the president, the president for sure didn't know about that. But, if a president gets too many devout loyalists in those positions, this is eroded.

That's why this doesn't concern me although it's still crazy they didn't inform biden immediately.
