Pentagon officials discussing how to respond if Trump issues controversial orders

[lafayette]

Is that a threat?

from his actions? he is not untouchable legally, despite says SCOTUS.

You are implying you support a dictatorship.

‘Several former senior military officials who served under Trump have sounded the alarm in recent years about his authoritarian impulses, including Milley and retired Gen. John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff. Kelly said before the election that Trump fits “into the general definition of fascist” and that he spoke of the loyalty of Hitler’s Nazi generals.

There is not much the Pentagon can do to pre-emptively shield the force from a potential abuse of power by a commander in chief. Defense Department lawyers can and do make recommendations to military leaders on the legality of orders, but there is no real legal safeguard that would prevent Trump from deploying American soldiers to police US streets.’

The voters now have the fascism they voted for.

But there is no deep state.

No, not as you think.

 

[Independent thinker]

No, not as you think.

And how do you know what I think?

 

[lafayette]

You are an open book.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I hope the treasonous Pentagon officials will be purged before they can make trouble.

 

[lafayette]

EvilCatBreath is loopy.

They are all safe, but Trump is not.

Why would you think DoD officials who are undermining the president would be "safe"? Id say they are the opposite of safe. Not only can Trump take their job, he can also take their freedom by locking them up. There is a long line of republicans in the DOJ who would LOVE to lock up treasonous lefties. These people are definitely not safe.

This isnt 2016 Trump. Leftwing "resistance" is going to get crushed with great enthusiasm and joy this time around. In the words of Walter White, "i suggest that you tread carefully".

The question isn't if the orders are controversial or not, the question is whether or not the orders are constitutional. If the orders are legal and within the purview of the Commander in Chief, then either the orders are followed, or those officers who go against Trump should be charged with violating Article 92: Failure to Obey Order or Regulation of the Uniformed Code of Military Justice.

Would the generals back Trump?

It's treason if they don't.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Trump will be CiC, they'll follow orders or be retired

 

[SmokeALib]

Would the generals back Trump?

If they're patriots, they will. If they don't, they'll be replaced.

It's not that easy. He can't lock them up, he is not Hitler. This is 2024. Watch.

As long as they deem Trump is in legal ground, the President is safe.

We have an Internal Security Force nationally and locally. The ISF. With two eagle heads on its emblem. A shadow on the land. If you are screwed with, then you know.

"The FBI has 6 ways to Sunday to get you". The "DOJ can indict a ham sandwich". I PROMISE you that multiple people are going to face criminal charges. Did you honestly think it wasnt coming after all the lawfare against conservatives for the past 4 years?

The generals have the army, so the ISF will have to act legally.
