Pee-tus has his underwear in a bunch again. Shouldn’t he be practicing his inaugural address because it “might” contain words of more than two syllables and be longer than 140 characters? Though I’d love if it was tweet length.
This explains a lot. http://www.infowars.com/riot-stand-down-obama-to-fire-national-guard-chief-during-inauguration/
Obama is having the National Guard to stand down so that the project veritas false flag riot can happen. Everybody will be so confused that they will not notice the CIA stopping the swearing in ceremony to prevent Trump from becoming president.

there are some serious implications to this event… what is Trump planning oninauguration day that this fellow might get in the way of? Think about it…

so THAT’s what they mean by fake news!!!
Definitely an exception, but my son-in-law’s dad is a retired police officer and was the head of ground equipment for the CT National Guard until probably five or seven years ago.
The night of the election, he called my oldest grandson (10 yo) to see if he was ok after the election results were announced, because he (the dad) was definitely not (neither was my grandson, who’d been the object of a bully in school and wanted nothing to do with a clear bully winning the election, but that’s another story).
Holiday discussions were no problem because we all felt the same way.
The investigation into Comey and his actions is only just getting underway. Under any other administration, he would already have been found guilty under the Hatch Act, but this is not any other administration. I’m sure he will be rewarded, somehow, for his efforts. Not to mention, I don’t think the Hatch Act violation penalty is anything more than the loss of his job and an inability to work for the government in the future - not sure if there is any financial or incarceration penalty.
I think there are two possibilities. The first is that he wants the protesters to be violently suppressed, and doesn’t think Shwartz will do it. The second, even worse option, is that he wants to undermine the Guard’s ability to control the crowd, in the hope that things get really nasty and he can use rioting as justification to crack down on dissenters.
@notfromvenus: And if the consistently repeated cheer during the protest attacks isn’t 'The Whole World is Watching… The Whole World is Watching…", I will be disappointed. Because this is the bright light that would need to be shone on this administration from the very first day.

Maybe Trump decided (impetuously, petulantly, to cast blame as if in a fake Reality TV Show) to fire Maj. General Schwartz after finding out that the brand of portolet to be used for the Inaugural would be “Don’s Johns.”
You treat people like shit you get shit on. Trump doesn’t recognize patterns very wel.
Drumpf has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, he reacts to any possible slight as he sees it. This just demonstrates that he is very sick and we, the American People, are in for a rough ride until we see fit to declare him incompetent, and remove him from office.
What’s the big deal? Barron wanted the job. Melania said she thought he could handle it and it would get him out of the house a few hours a day. As far as the timing: you know how impatient kids can be… Barron didn’t want to wait until the day after his daddy became “el generalissimo”… oh, yeah, that’s just the cute pet name the family has given Drumpfy.
If his men had any sense of the military, they would march out as their commander left, essentially stealing the spotlight from the short-fingered vulgarian.
If he’s not a political appointee, he can’t be summarily dismissed by the incoming Adminstration. There are only two choices - political appointee or career civil servant/military officer.
I don’t know the protocol about this, so I’m wondering who will take over the command at 12:01pm. Something is compelling me to believe that if there is no commander in charge of the Guard, the commander-in-chief takes over, which would free Donnie to order them to do his bidding should any protests arise at the inauguation. And if there is no replacement by the 21st, he will be the ‘decider’ about what to do over the women’s march. Can somebody clarify this?
Ignore the inauguration of this barbarian. Instead, give the outgoing president a standing ovation when he leaves the White House for the last time.

I’m thinking his Tr(i)umphal march will be “Heil to the Thief” (thanks Radiohead for the idea)
Help with the lyrics, please.
So now trump insults the National Guard? Can the Army be far behind?
The second in command would step up. To me this is stupidity in the extreme considering the general is in charge of one layer of trump’s security.
Just one more item of incompetency on display. In the end even GOPers will tire of this…assuming trump does not kill us all.

The general is a patriot. He will have his second in command ready to take over and make damned sure all his preparations are set. Bet those serving under the general are pissed off bigly by Peetus’ arrogant move.

Up thread I posited that if I were the general I’d issue an order for my troops to stand down and then I’d resign and suggest that my 2nd in command resign as well at his/her discretion and let trump take care of things himself. Trump has no authority yet, to issue any order or demand. Not until he is sworn into office. So at ths pint he can pontificate all he wants and the general can tell him, as a civilian, to piss off.
