Simultaneous purging of the chief generals of all three branches.
They are ensuring the military has no cohesiveness to stage a future coup against the Executive Branch, and are replacing all control with their own loyalists.
Trying to install loyalists to ensure the military won’t go against him when the time comes
Trying is the word
I believe Senate confirmation goes all the way down to one-star generals and admirals. So he can’t just install new ones overnight.
He can if the Senate is complicit in his appointments
Just a reminder that, especially for Trump and those who staff his new media-manipulation-savvy regime (Fox News defectors), Friday night is when you take action or release things that you don’t want people paying attention to. Friday night, we’re all exhausted and/or distracted. By Monday there will be a new news cycle.
Installing loyalists in the top military positions is one of the things that is signal, not noise.
to stage a future coup
to stop the coup that is happening <-- FTFY
You guys literally have all the guns. You know that, right?
Whenever one of that countries millions of morons would defend all those fucking guns they have, it is for this exact reason they say.
“iF ThE gOvErNMeNt OvErStEpS”, against drones, jets and tanks…
Remember that the US military is absolute garbage at fighting against guerilla tactics.
I don’t think we have long before Trump starts going after personal gun ownership, and that’s when those folks will be crucial.
And the ones that voted for this have way more of them and spend more time with them
hey bright side is we probably don’t want whatever outcome from that hypothetiocal coup either
