Trump administration removes senior defense officials and installs loyalists, triggering alarm at Pentagon

Loyalists instead of never Trumper? How dare he. Only wish it was done sooner. This is one reason they are shaking in fear at the prospects of a Trump second term. He finally won’t have most of the administration kneecapping him. Maga Loyal from day 1

[lastchance]

About time.

[Califreak]

So Lord Zero and Hilzebub loyalists are just fine and dandy but Trump shouldn’t have any loyalists and just let theirs hang around and sabotage everything?

Isn’t that the whole GED point of picking cabinets and whatnot? Of course you install people who are LOYAL to you that will help you implement your policies.

Good grief.

[virgil]

I don’t have a problem with this. Should have done it a long time ago.

There was until very recently a huge blob of fed employees that it was very difficutl to fire. Trump recently signed an EO taking away their job security, can’t remember detials, but can be fire without them having any recourse. Dmesheviks of course freaked and said “tens to hundreds of thousands of fed workers are at risk”.

HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHA

"... triggering alarm at Pentagon"

And well it should!
For the past 4 years the Pentagon has been in full control of the communist-supported deep-state...
Pissing on any and all of Trump's policies, all the while laughing in his face...

WTF? Top levels of our military loyal to a President who is very pro-American, very anti-corruption, and does not start useless wars all the time, or do special favors to our enemies for money? Outrageous!

[Califreak]

I noticed that.

I wonder what happened?

[ransomnote]

I believe Trump determined he would absolutely be able to prove the cheating beyond doubt before he started his second term actions, including removing Esper and cleaning house at the Pentagon.

I do believe there is going to be civil unrest. Hard to tell fear porn from reality on Youtube, as everywhere else, but I keep coming across rumors of a trucker’s strike that is meant to drain areas of supplies while lockdown halts travel to other areas to obtain supplies, then large urban areas have defunded police departments. “Helping along” civil unrest by fomenting scarcity and competition for resources - softening the ground for antifa types.

I like the sounds of this, but do we know all these new guys really are loyalists? I don’t think Trump’s staffing is going to improve significantly as long as Jared is in the WH. The most important move Trump could make might be swapping out Jared and Ivanka for Don Jr and Eric.

But I fear that is the move Trump might not be able to bring himself to make.

[9YearLurker]

That trucker unrest is supposed to be anti-Biden and pro-fracking, pro-Trump.

[reformedliberal]

Based on the same rumors, we filled in the gaps today and went out to dinner tonight.

None of the employees (up from maybe a 1/4) were masked. Many, many customers unmasked, people standing around chatting, people upbeat in both store and restaurant.

Checked our immediate neighborhood. Trump signs still up. 1 out of 3 Biden signs still up. Trump:Biden over 15:1. Rural subdivisions. Central WI.

[little jeremiah]

Hard to think that most truckers are antifa/Bitem supporters.

[little jeremiah]

What is bad about Jared Kushner, other than helping make peace in the Middle East for the first time in decades and decades?

List his badnesses, please.

“roses”

War of the Roses?

Death Blossom (Last Starfighter reference)

[Albion Wilde]

“chaos” That must be the word of the month. It seems to be showing up in every MSM article about Trump.

And the other word is "baseless", as in references to voter fraud.

[greeneyes]

Just spoke to a highly placed intel person.

“Did you find this unusual?”
A: “Everything about this election is unusual. We all thought he’d be gone before the election, but Trump thought it was ‘too political.’”
Q: But “if Trump believes he is gonna lose, why not let Esper ride it out?”
A: No response. “What’s your theory?”
Q: “That Trump thinks he’s gonna win, there will be civil unrest, and that he needs someone in he can trust.”
A: “Sounds pretty good to me.”
****************************************************************************
Sounds about right to me too.

The retired general also categorized Obama’s foreign policy as being “born of the Jeremiah Wright school of hate America” and accused the nation’s first black president of harboring a “Weather Underground” philosophy, referring to the anti-war domestic terrorist group that bombed government buildings in the 1970s.

Anthony Tata is his name.

The CIA is fighting back, this time with their vanity press - The Washington Post.

Once again, The Washington Post is brandishing their "secret weapon" (a.k.a. anonymous sources inside the investigation). Mr. Secret Source now says the postal worker claims he was bribed by Republicans. But Mr. Secret Source has been routinely proven false in countless prior accusations (*cough* Russia Hoax *cough* Ukraine *cough*everything else )

"But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. "

Now if the Deep State could only make the overwhelming public displays of support for President Trump, consistently taking place prior to the election, just simply dissappear, if they could make China's favorite child rapist, Hunter Biden, innocent despite all the evidence he and "The Big Guy" sold out to China, and if they could only create hundreds more instances of fake evidence like one below, the public might almost begin to wonder.
