Do you mean “wrong direction?“

My serious comment: Esper is pathetic; he hitched his wagon to trump, and now is trying to claim innocence. Screw him.
My not so serious comment: here is his presser:

This also tells me about the defection of Republicans away from the Party.
(1) GOP opinions are expressed by real RWNJ zealots
(2) The GOP defections into the Independent column, “righting” it a tad
(3) The GOP, now being more cult-like, (a) is more homogeneous and (b) doomed to conversations and interactions only among cult members

I’m sure Esper totally won’t cave the moment Trump stamps his feet.
Someone wants to pretend he’s the adult in the room, forgetting that it has yet to work.

If you’re going to follow Trump, expect to get shit on your shoes.

I don’t see where the 9% of Democrats come from.
Bomb-throwers who are hoping for the bougaloo that leads to the world being utoperized?
Hopefully, lose by the largest margin in US presidential election history.

The Susan Sarandons of the world.
Almost every one of us has supported candidates who have lost.
Why, I remember some feminist leftists who spent weeks preaching the Gospel of Mike Bloomberg.
Should we be invoking their names every time we need to evoke the image of a sellout?
Susan Sarandon didn’t just support someone who lost.

yeah, that’s his response right now, when asked by the press, but the Credibility Administration has been so truthful
another patriot, right up there with tRUmp
The option to use active duty forces should only be used as a matter of last resort and only in the most urgent and dire of situations — we are not in one of those situations now,”
How does this fit in with his statement about “dominating the battlefield [aka cities in the USA]”? Please ask him this.

This isn’t exactly right. Sure, he’s willing, but he doesn’t pull the trigger. Others do this for him. The questions remain: Who is willing to continue to do this for him – and we have a long list of a lot of these accomplices – and how far are they willing to go?
ETA: The more I think of it, the less I’m inclined to look toward McConnell and Esper and Milley et al. Seems there are some enlisted and officers who just might have some tough decisions to make in the very near future.

Ya know … doncha just #%#^#%@^$3 hate it when you lose your dignity, self-respect, professional reputation, and possibility of a respectable legacy, all because you supported (helped organize?) using Nazi tactics against peaceful FAMILIES protesting the murder of yet another black man by police?
I’m asking … because I don’t know, and wouldn’t.
Mark? Ooooohhhhhh Mark? Please let us know.

Everyone who took that fateful walk with Trump to the Church after peaceful American protesters were gassed and assaulted, should resign out of principle. There is no alternative here, and if they don’t, it reveals everything about their character. Note that Pence, of all people, had the good sense not to join in.

I smell gas
How many times have Republican officials ‘pushed back’ against Trump’s dictator moves–only to eventually (and rapidly) succumb/resign/be replaced by a true loyalist hack? The very fact that we are debating the applicability of the Insurrection Act, an obvious legal tool for a coup that Barr would not hesitate to use, shows how far down the road we are. There is no reason to believe that we are out of the woods here.

Esper said, before adding that he does not support invoking the Insurrection Act that would allow the President to deploy military and National Guard troops to act as police forces.
Esper looks to be a man who (1) expects Drumpf to be removed from office; (2) is concerned what about being held accountable for his words and actions as had of the DoD.
Fuck Esper. That guy had one job yesterday, “crafting” his letter of resignation.
