What're you trying to say--he's got a better paint on tan than you do? LMAO

How does stopping private citizens commenting help the military ?

Moron, retired military are still military UNTIL DEATH, subject to recall and they do not have freedom of speech to speak out publicly against the CinC. STFU and keep licking King Charles' bus windows.

It cracks me up every time I see it. That spray tan is a knee slapper

I'm not seeing your OP quote of retired generals being threatened with punishment in the linked article????
Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Desantis would roll back "woke" policies in favor of traditional military policies.

Its in this clip. It describes the other nonsense in the policy as well.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Since when do Democrats or other leftists care about constitutionality?

BAKE THAT CAKE, PEASANT.

If it is that easy to overthrow the constitution then guns should be on the agenda.

1. Okay, that was one obscure general's opinion. If he opposed "wokeness" he wouldn't be on CNN. The FNC generals all support Desantis' policies.
2. Many more generals oppose the leftist's turning the US military into a "Barbie" ensemble.

Over 1000 retired Generals, Admirals, non-Flag Officers and enlisted decry “wokeness” in the U.S. Military - ACRU

Lt. Col Allen West (ret) and over 1000 retired and former military warned of threats to the Constitution and the nation’s military readiness posed by the increased priority placed on “wokeness” in the military. Flag Officers 4 America and the Committee to Support and Defend joined forces to...

Of course Prez Ron would not want any criticism of his policies but is he able to do this ?

Hopefully.

One of the headlines is that retired generals will be punished if they speak out against the policies of a sitting president.

That sounds like the state limiting the freedom of speech of a private citizen.

How would the punish retired generals?

How would the punish retired generals?

Taking away their pensions would be a good first step.

 

[Leviticus]

This is clearly unconstitutional. Retired military officers Have the same first amendment rights as everyone else. Not only the freedom of speech but the freedom of protest as well. If he tried to enforce that if elected, it would not go well.

Why?

To prove that the US really is a shithole?

 

[toobfreak]

But Tommy, isn't that exactly the very thing you routinely advocate FOR here
when you think or expect that those private citizens
will only be your right wing party?

They don't care about it anymore than you do. That's the problem. Both sides are all in on this kind of government.

That was my take as well. Its odd that nobody on his team pointed this out to him. Its all moot now I suppose.

I dont think the policy has been fully fleshed out. It all sounds a bit fag packet.

Who gives a shit? Biden continuously goes against the Constitution. When you start caring about it on your side, i will on mine.

 

[Billiejeens]

This is consistent with the authoritarian right’s advocacy of the unitary executive theory – the codification of the Imperial Presidency where the president may rule via fiat unchecked by Congress, the courts, or the people.

It’s an important component of the right’s desire to destroy democracy and establish the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

As for DeSantis’ position with regard to diversity in the military, DeSantis is a hateful racist and bigot – as president he would clearly pursue a policy where racism, bigotry, and hate would be allowed to flourish in the military; yet another example of why DeSantis is unfit to be president.

Absolute delusion.

3rd party baby
Gotta get that 3rd party running things.

So you are ok with giving up your guns ?

No, and no one is trying to take them, other than dems, but you all can fuck off with that.
