Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

[Rhinox]

Generals gathered in their masses.
Soon they'll kiss Trump and Petey's asses.

Honestly? I doubt that. I wouldn't expect the military to kiss the ring any time soon. The drunk is bad enough but if you think the generals will follow Commander in Bone Spurs anywhere, well . . .

They know trump is weak, panicking and useless. All they have to do to keep their jobs and outlive his regime is nothing. Because just about every coup in the world that didn't have the military backing it has failed.

Besides, would you cooperate with the guy that's cut your funding, destroyed the policies that made you the most effective military on the planet, then called you to a meeting forcing you to travel halfway around the world just to ******* insult you?

If they kiss the ring, they're in violation of their oath and complicit. When trump is out (which won't be long one way or another: his regime collapses when he dies regardless.) the coconspirators will be probably be removed by whatever administration follows.

I have no faith that most of the generals give a damn about the Constitution. Like anybody else in power, all they care about is keeping that power. They're going to follow whoever's in charge as long as they keep their cushy jobs, and if that means getting cheeto dust on their lips I have no doubt they will do it.

I mean, aren't most of those in active military service, especially those that are in the upper ranks, Republicans?

I take it you ignored the note that none of them reacted in any way to Hegseth's speech? If they had intended to "Kiss the ring" someone would have started trying to kick off a round of applause.

Some info about the Portland mess:

The troops aren't even there yet and are already annoying the residents:

They were just following protocol for political situations - I wouldn't read too much into it.

Sounds to me like the noise is the purpose of the helicopters. They're aiming to rile up the citizens to the point where they'll try to Do Something About It, justifying retaliatory action from the military.
