Extraordinary warning to Trump by 10 former Pentagon chiefs
apnews.com ^ | January 4, 2020 | ROBERT BURNS

In an extraordinary rebuke of President Donald Trump, all 10 living former secretaries of defense are cautioning against any move to involve the military in pursuing claims of election fraud, arguing that it would take the country into “dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory.”

The 10 men, both Democrats and Republicans, signed on to an opinion article published Sunday in The Washington Post that implicitly questioned Trump’s willingness to follow his Constitutional duty to peacefully relinquish power on Jan. 20. Following the Nov. 3 election and subsequent recounts in some states, as well as unsuccessful court challenges, the outcome is clear, they wrote, while not specifying Trump in the article.

“The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived,” they wrote.

They are all the enemy. I hope they are prepared to be treated as such when CW2. It will be a shame to do that to some people we thought were patriots but do we must.

Anyone who can speak of law in the face of the most lawless election in history deserves the charge of complicity in Treason. Stopping the count in 5 CRITICAL states simultaneously, with Trump comfortably ahead then restarting it to put Biden ahead?

To hell with them. We know what we know. This isn’t a political debate anymore...

There is an interesting aspect to this D/S move. It the role of the military in political battles is non-engagement, then we need to hold them to it. Stand down military, America Patriots will do the job for you. They are all as phony as it gets. What they want with Trump is not to help, but sit on their hands. Just wait and see what happens if a Commie gets in and they come for our guns. I’ll bet dollars to donuts the military will jump at the opportunity to enforce the Commie gun confiscation. This is what it’s come to with D/S minions.

All you need to know about this august group of individuals is what have they been up to since their government days.

I don’t actually know at all, except for maybe Mattis, the general for Amazon, but I don’t have to know to know they are up to no good for their country.

Every one of these folks probably without exception is suckling at the tit of some government (deficit) funded BS organization. They deserve no respect now, and for those who were in uniform, deserved no respect then.

No better than perfumed Saudi Princes.

Dear 10 former Pentagon chiefs,
There are a lot of puffy-chested types who will scream to high heaven if the HarrisXiden is Ascended. Then there are the quiet ones - waiting for the Ascendion and demotion of President Trump to ordinary citizen; they will act.

At that point the HarrisXiden having ascended to the Throne, aka the White House, will have to declare martial law and use the Insurrection Act and whatever else. Naturally all of you ex-pentagon types will see this as a perfectly reasoned response by President Harris.

Now if there are some rebellious troops that defect to the enemy, she would be well within Her rights to call for help from Her allies who happen to have expert troops at putting down descent. We saw their marvelous expertise on display when they were last used in Tienanmen Square where more that 10,000 of those rebellious types were eliminated. This will remedy will cure any tendency for dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory to be breached again.

There is no truth to the rumor that every home must have a authorized picture of Her predominately displayed.

Trump loves this country, which is why we love him. I don’t trust the motives of the guys who signed this. All those wars over decades with bad results.

Rumsfeld was secretary of defense under Ford during the Mayaguez incident. That didn’t turn out well.

Our soldiers fought and died under these military generals, to fight and defend the rights of people to have FAIR ELECTIONS in foreign countries.

Each of these generals is now against the same here in the US.

Kick ass, President Trump.

They do. They aren’t stupid. I think they know that Trump’s got a solid case, and a ton of really bad evidence to indicate the whole stinking corrupt two-party structure is ripe to be summarily executed.

What they are saying is you can accept this fraud and go quietly, or we may be forced to walk in and shoot you.

That’s what this letter is all about. Period.

Do what you’re planning on doing and we’ll kill you.

They also condone homosexuality and transgenderism.

Their word means nothing.

They are all lightweights who accomplished nothing, that’s why the most recent ones were fired.
