Sec Nav: Your fired.
I nominate WETGUNDOG (myself) to the office of SECNAV as I am a retired First Class Petty officer who knows how to follow all lawful orders from my superiors and the President of the United States who is Commander in Chief of all American Armed Forces.
Didn’t these guys request photos of bin laden and others as proof the got whacked? But a chief that has his picture taken with a dead a$$hole terrorist in a combat zone gets screwed.
Okay, I’m confused. Sec of Navy is communicating directly with Trump WH about cutting a deal. Sec. of Defense finds out about this and promptly fires Sec. of Navy. It appears that PDJT has nothing to do with the Sec of Navy being sacked. Am I correct?
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.

The Secretary of the Navy offers the Secretary of Defense that if the Secretary of the Navy is left to make their own decision on something concerning a third party then they will do something they think uis favorable towards that third party.
It suggests two things:
1. Otherwise what?; othewise what would the Secretary of the Navy do??
2. The Navy Secretary’s lack of respect for the authority of the Defense Secretary, as his authority can be bargained over.
On principle I agree.
But you don’t start a fight with the military while going through an impeachment trial.
Now all the perfumed princes are going to be gunning for trump.
I just love happy endings
Fire every last swinging dick above the rank of captain at the Pentagon.
I hope the hell President Trump researches the background of the recommendation for replacement. A U.S. Ambassador? Have a bad taste in my mouth for people in that position.
Thank you, Mr. President, for recognizing a true American hero!
Buh-Bye, Mr. Spencer. Did you forget who is Commander-in-Chief?
Chain of command. He knew better.
This whole thing has reminded me of the time the Air Traffic Controllers tried to strike and jack up President Reagan, who just fired their azzes!
Spencer’s big argument was that the board would be run by SEAL NCOs who make the call. Yet his purposed secret deal reveals that this was a complete sham, as Spencer claimed the ability to secretly direct the board’s decision. So not only did he go behind Esper’s back, he revealed himself as a liar.
Sec Nav: Your fired.
POSing with a POS cOrPSe
Oh the horror.
Never jump the chain of command.
I work as a regional supervisor. Every now and then someone will bypass me and my supervisor and go directly to the top guy. It creates all kinds of trouble. They can tell the top guy all kinds of stories that I know are not true, and he believes it because he is not here.
I finally got permission to send a gentle note to the top guy to ask him not to allow these bypassers.
Confusing.
Q: What’s the default position on this one here on FR again?
What is it we are supposed to think or say?
May the “Curse of Trump” haunt your a$$ forever Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer.
Good - the MSM falsely stated he was threatening to quit and he came out and said those stories weren’t true...I think he realized he stepped in it via the ultimate insubordination and was hoping to keep the job he proved unfit for.
I remember when politics so polluted the officer and senior NCO ranks that a Sec AF did quit in disgust - at one time it was normal to stand up for your folks and protect them (I stood in front of a few commanders pleading to let me handle issues with my troops) and then it became political suicide to not slam the troops whose shoulders the brass walked to their positions on.
