Decapitation Strike (December)
Timothy D Snyder ^ | Dec 01, 2024 | Timothy Snyder

Preserving America from Trump's Appointments (updated)

(Note to readers: I wrote this two weeks ago, on 15 November. This update accounts for things I have learned since, and for Trump’s further appointments, who confirm the thesis.)

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out this way and that. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea of his campaign was that this time he had a plan.

We should be wary of shock, which excuses inaction. Who could have known? What could I have done? If there is a plan, shock is part of the plan. We have to get through the surprise and the shock to see the design and the risk. We don't have much time. Nor is outrage the point. Of course we are outraged. But our own reactions can distract is from the larger pattern.

The original source on this I found on Tech Hub.

But the author's link is on substack. URL did not work.

Found it on X. That is the link I used. (note: my X account is now closed for good)

Capitation Strike? The Dems are totally insane.

After the assassination attempt in Butler, PA. And the other one at Mar a Lago. They are thinking of stopping Trumps appointments in the same venue.

God Bless President Donald Trump and his appointments. God Bless the USA.

It was behind a login on Tech Hub server. And it is even on the DU and the Blue Sky.

Copy and paste the link. I don’t think it is allowable to post that source in an article. I would discourage a live link copy.

Demented, Timothy Snyder is.

Locked up in a mental institution he should be.

The important point, he must be exposed for his insanity.

On Tech Hub they are praising him.

I have been over there a couple of days looking for a new home from losing my X account.

I found out that Mastodon is not it. But I also found how insanely brainwashed the ComDems actually are.

Sounds like a drama queen. The article is a steaming pantload.

Decapitation is a military strategy aimed at removing the leadership or command and control of a hostile government or group.
These people are truly evil.

Amateur analysis. Another eurocentric naval gazer from the Ivy schools.

The Marxists just don’t get it. They do not understand - it’s Over. They will be weeded out and thrown on the compost pile of history. This is not a unity government. This is a

government.

Snyder makes Joy Reid look like a rational moderate:

Trump's proposed appointments -- Kennedy, Jr.; Bondi; Musk; Ramaswamy; Hegseth; Gabbard; Noem -- are perfect instruments. They combine narcissism, incompetence, corruption, sexual incontinence, personal vulnerability, dangerous convictions, and foreign influence as no group before them has done. These proposed appointments look like a decapitation strike: destroying the American government from the top, leaving the body politic to rot, and the rest of us to suffer.

Obviously he also talks to Putin all the time, for years no doubt.

I have no interest in ‘vengful’ actions. I merely want America restored to its full and upright locked position.

BTW - his long rant didn’t age well, considering Pedo Joe Biden spitting in the face of the Rule of Law, this very night...

More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help everyone be as good as possible...

If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...

He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years.

Okay, provide us the proof that your statement is factual. I'm sure all three are talking for years, but are they talking to each other? I doubt your claim, if that is your claim, Timothy.

The Dem and some GOP Senators are already bitching about FBI Background checks, I look for bad actors in the Senate to file massive lawsuits over this to delay things.
