Esper: Trump Wanted To Activate Retired Four-Stars To Court-Martial Them For Disloyalty - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Maybe he could have had these guys fired into a Mexican drug lab?

Just spitballing here.

But if it was a Trump Org. build that would mean throwing them out of the ground floor, since the floor count starts in the basement.

FROM THE GUARDIAN. ELECTION-THEFT LEGISLATION AND ANTI-PROTEST LAWS ARE LINKED. STOP SAYING IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE. IT’S HAPPENING. NOW. TODAY.

45 states have considered 230 bills criminalizing protest, with the threat of violent leftist and Black rebellion being used to justify them. That this is happening at the same time that multiple electoral bills enabling a Republican state legislature majority to overturn their state’s election have been enacted suggests that the true aim of bills criminalizing protest is to have a response in place to expected protests against the stealing of a future election (as a reminder of fascism’s historical connection to big business, some of these laws criminalize protest near gas and oil lines).

And zero learned from it, just to complete the series.

Another stupid idea from TFG. Hopefully Esper’s book is a flop. I wonder, aren’t there actual news stories to cover?

He really really wanted to be Generalissimo Trump. He was a madman and rogue president.

I think it was in Fire and Fury that we learned that aides to Trump were already discussing the 25th Amendment one month into his presidency.

The only thing astonishing about tfg is that his raging mental illnesses are quite acceptable to so many people.

Oh, if only, instead of making him a pretend business executive, he had been hired on as an inept villain in the Star Wars series of films. He could have been a black hole in the dark side.

Admiral McRaven is an amazing person. If he had to stand in the same room with Trump, ol’ Donny would melt from fear.

So there’s a constant stream of this kind of shit, probably not really impactful.
But it makes me wonder about trump 2024 - just having to endure his shit show and voice, face, general presence will be painful but - he’d get his ass kicked, right? Fool me once and all that, but he’s unelectable at this point, yeah? Please?

The difference is it would have just been in the movies, and not real life.

I knew this. It was a talking point with Trump PAC PR trolls at the time.

That’s cold.

This is the sort of bullpucky you can expect from a moron who doesn’t understand that a pledge to Country and Constitution isn’t a pledge to the POTUS personally.

I keep thinking I can no longer be surprised by the sheer depth of his stupidity…and then he proves me wrong once again,

Donald Trump was conceived in a lab dedicated to crafting the ultimate Democracy stress test. I know that his administration exposed many problems, but without a well-crafted Constitution and the norms that go with it, the dude would have been Stalin by way of Mussolini.
