Trump just fired the chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff (2nd African American after Colin Powell to hold the highest ranking military position)

[chargers31]

Mediocre Dui hire as secretary of defense. Firing qualified generals to replace them with ass kissers.

 

[Ozymandeas]

He getting ready to do some wild illegal shyt. Installing a bunch of yes men at all the leadership positions. This dude doesn't plan to leave in 4 years

That's what Im saying. He's moving like he's not gonna be out of here in four years. Or like Congress can't be voted out in two years.

He's moving sooooooooo flagrant. He's planning on staying. There's gonna be another riot on Jan. 6th, 2029 and it's gonna be one of those moments where we're going to ask ourselves why he wasn't put in prison after the first time.

The Democrats had four years to find/vet a suitable candidate against Trump. Their arrogance and incompetence gave him the victory no matter which way you dice it.

Just read this article on CNN...

I remember when I was still a midshipman years ago at an HBCU, they would have the higher ups in this pentagon positions occasionally come talk to us - the CNO, the Commandant, NASA folks...

When they were black (because they weren't always), it was always a source of inspiration, and they would pull no punches with us about how much work would be required to get to these positions...

We are a month into this administration's fukkery, and I still cannot believe that they just fired two top-level military officials ONLY because one was black and the other was female....

Even though we have been living it since late January, I still cannot believe we are living under this regime right now, that we are only 1 month in, and that they have other moves planned in the near future...

I cannot believe there are actually minorities in this country - including black folks, no less - who actually voted for this shyt, justifying that voting for Harris was somehow worse, as if the threat of a second Trump term was not fukking obvious when we could all see who was coming with him in his circle this time around...

That there are people who have children who actually voted for this shyt, as if these b*stards would be creating a better future for our babies to live in - especially our black children...

I've been avoiding the news lately because its taxing, and this shyt just reminds me of why...

I'm speechless

They're c00ns. The worst kind because they pretend to be pro-black but, it's all a farce. One relative I have swears he's pro-black but, is pro-Trump. In reality, he's a broke incel mad he has no hoes, fell for Red Pill indoctrination, and the YouTube video funnel led him to MAGA/Trump. Once I heard him say he'd swap races if he could because who would want to deal with being black if they had another option? Obviously, I don't fukk with him. I got three other Trump supporters in my family but, their reasonings are more stupid. Trump gave us stimulus checks or Trump is a G or Democrats are liars and trying to push gay stuff. I can tolerate the dumb ones because they don't know any better but, I can't tolerate the c00ns because their arguments are so dishonest. And that's who yall are arguing with on here. A bunch of c00ns

Here we go with this. Our people who voted, voted against this in the majority. We did it at a higher rate than every other ethnicity. Even if we had all did it at the max possible amount, he would still be in office. So, now that is done and over with, all you want to do is sit down, pout, and point fingers?

Breh, the whole timeline from 2016 onwards kills me. Most of us never expected Hilary Clinton to lose to Trump. We didn’t believe this country was stupid enough to elect a reality tv star over a senator.

So when that did happen, the Democrats went back to basics and got Joe Biden to run. Was he the best candidate? No. But was he the best option to go against Trump? Absolutely.

Now knowing how incredibly sexist and racist this country is, they had FOUR years to find a follow up for Biden, knowing his senile ass was getting worst. But their arrogance thought they could push him to the finish line.

That backfired and what did we end up with? An unpolished, unpopular vice president who did poorly before. And this is what we ended up with. We did our part.. CACs and CACs adjacent did exactly what we expected them to do.

If Hilary couldn’t do it, why did these morons think Kamala could? And even if she had an outside chance, why not prep her way before knowing Joe wasn’t gonna make it?

Whole GOP is the most complicit in all this. But can't be stated enough. Merrick Garland sitting on his ass for 3 years screwed us all. should've had his foot on the courts neck to get the trials going and wrapped up before election year

 

[CoryMack]

This is America apple pie served with ice cold racism to wash it all down. The message is being black in a high level position means you only got there because of DEI. Your credentials mean nothing if your black, a 4 star General being replaced by a retired 3 star is crazy work.

and fired by a president who moved heaven and earth to keep from serving when there was a national draft.

 

[Samori Toure]

That orange idiot just fired multiple top members of our military. Including the Heads of the Navy and the Air Force.

i keep telling these dudes when you remove the emotion and look at the whole situation objectively, i don't see how you can't conclude that the democrats intended to give the election away. political parties spend billions to forecast every possible scenario, so there's just no way they didn't know exactly what was going to happen.

Again, pure arrogance and incompetence. They thought if they could prop up Joe like a Weekend At Bernie’s, he could step down and hand Kamala the presidency.

Just like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She refused to step down when Obama was in his 2nd term. Again, arrogance believing she’d make it another four years… and look at what happened.

This is how MAGA misinformation always gets people. Obama didn't do the same thing. He never fired highly qualified joint chiefs of staff in the middle of their terms for no reason whatsoever.

And here’s some inside baseball stuff I can tell because I worked on Joint Staff. Dempsey wasn’t his OG choice for CJCS. He had just taken over Army Staff a month prior. Cartwright (USMC) had next up but he had the rep as an Obama general and McCain and those types despised him for it. Around that time, it came out he had an “inappropriate” relationship with his aide-de-camp and Republicans used that to nuke any chance he’d get nominated. Hence how you get Dempsey who was an awesome dude to work for.

Do you have an arsenal to protect you and yours?

Yessir

Legal and not legal

Any word on what people in those circles saying about this firing and the rest of the JCS in the other branches?

Damn you nikkas are ignorant af to the world around you. The ease with which y’all come on here and spit misinformation is astonishing. He appointed two different ones because their terms were up. Not because he didn’t like them so he fired them. Go look at the wiki pages. With the exception of an interim Chairman, Pace is the only one who didn’t serve a full term

The thing is tho, they don't get fired when the President immediately takes office. Similar to the FBI Director, they are suppose to overlap between multiple administrations to avoid being politicized by the President. Chairmans tend to retire when their 4 year term is up or leave on their own accord to do something else, and then the President nominates someone else.

The guy during Obama's first term retired in 2011 when his term was up. He was appointed by Bush. The guy Obama appointed in 2011 stepped down in 2015. Obama replaced him with someone that lasted into the 3rd year of Trump's Presidency. That guy retired.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

If you look at the column on the right, they all served between multiple Presidents and they mostly serve out their 4 year term. I don't see anyone that was fired immediately upon the President taking office. They just leave on their own.

Trump did this on purpose because he's black and he wants someone that will put him over the constitution.

This is how MAGA misinformation always gets people. Obama didn't do the same thing. He never fired highly qualified joint chiefs of staff in the middle of their terms for no reason whatsoever. He let them finish out their terms and appointed equally qualified successors after. Which is why there was never any major controversy or concern in the upper military ranks like there is now

Let's be clear. Firing the second ever African American serving as one of the militarys highest ranking officers in the middle of his term to replace him with an unqualified retiree who said this


is nothing close to what Obama did. In the middle of black History month no less.

My bad y’all I was wrong

 

[Goat poster]

Any governor in any blue state could start speaking on getting rid of Trump with force.

Organize your fukking state military and push the fukking button on letting the world know you will ____________ that mfer if his plane is in your air space or if he ever touches down in your state

fukk it bro, id rather a civil war RIGHT NOW so the remaining people with military influence can actually organize instead of letting this pink bytch eject everyone who will go against him.

IF HE GETS FULL CONTROL OF THE MILITARY, IT IS fukkING OVER. AINT NO COMING BACK FROM THAT.


It's been time to put that mfer in a box.

TRUTH

Honestly tho, it's gonna be too late

How you talking is how it SHOULD be

But folks gonna wait around until he has gotten rid of ANY OPPOSITION within his ranks.

Sad what we living through
