I wonder what Admiral Green is thinking right now?
Hopefully, he’s packing his duffel bag right now...
A dead terrorist, a military hero and some more winning, this is shaping up to be a pretty good day.
Good. This a**es should know, the President is the Commander in chief. If he doesn’t like it, he can request a general court martial. Trump needs to clean out the deadwood.
LOL. Green is thinking he’s next up.
Don’t think we will be hearing much from
Green anytime soon.
An Obama leftover into the can. Need more of this sort of house cleaning.
Former CIA Analyst to CBN News: ‘An American Insurrection Is Underway’

If you follow politics, you’ve heard people talking about the “deep state”. But is there really some sort of coup going on at a deeper level among career bureaucrats in Washington, or is it just a fantasy?
At a recent Federalist Society dinner in our nation’s capital, US Attorney General William Barr said an “avalanche of subpoenas” and constant attempts to derail Trump administration appointments only serve to ‘incapacitate” the executive branch.
He stopped short of calling what is happening in Washington a political coup, but he suggested forces are engaged in a war to cripple, by any means necessary, a duly-elected government.
Referring to the “resistance” language used by Trump opponents, Barr said, “Now ‘resistance’ is the language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by an occupying military power. It obviously connotes that the government is not legitimate. This is a very dangerous and, indeed, incendiary notation to import into the politics of a democratic republic.”
Appearing on this week’s episode of the Global Lane, former CIA Analyst Michael Scheuer says he believes an American insurrection is now underway.
“The federal government, at least the executive branch, is being denied the ability to execute its responsibilities, whether it’s here in Washington, or in places like Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles and San Francisco where, under the supremacy clause, Washington is very clearly responsible for immigration. There’s much more disruption and much more insurrection in this country than Lincoln faced until the Confederates fired at Ft. Sumter. It’s staggering to be in this position 160 years later,” Scheuer said.
He says the only thing we’ve heard so far in the impeachment hearings is staffers saying they’re very offended because the president didn’t listen to their advice, contending it’s more about sour grapes than evidence of a crime.
Scheuer also says there’s clear ignorance about the Constitution on behalf of Congress. “When the Constitution says ‘bribery’, the Founders were talking about the President accepting bribes,” not the president making a quid pro quo in exchange for foreign aid, he argues.
Scheuer says the bottom line is there’s a deeper agenda at work here.
“What they’re doing is, as Mr. Barr said, trying to tear down the institutions of this country. They’re not the loyal opposition, they are an infestation of globalists who want to deny nationality to the United States and blend us in with the rest of the world,” he contends.

WINNING!
the admiral should have submitted his concerns or recommendations through channels and NOT all over the public mass media
we have a civilian CIC for a reason
BOO-YAH! About time someone head-slapped the Obammy-appointed top echelon of the military departments and eased them out the door. Sounds to me like the Navy Sec’y was a bit namby-pamby and probably trying to play both sides (and probably listened too much to someone on the USN LEGAL STAFF). Now he’s fired as he should be.
The moment that tweet went out, the Sec’y SHOULD have told his admirals and legal staff to treat it as an ORDER and act accordingly. PERIOD.
If Green could think he wouldn’t be in the situation he finds himself in. Which is likely 48 hours from dismissal.
All Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota boy’s command rank picks should be watched.
Closely.
At all times.
In many cases, ability was NOT on the list of qualifications.
Butt kissing probably was.
GOOD!
May this be only the beginning of the purge.
Whoo-hooo!
Trump appointed him, not Obozo.
Ping!
“I wonder what Admiral Green is thinking right now?”
Simple. It’s “I wish obama was still president..”
Finest kind of news!
