Esper Terminated (per POTUS Twitter)
POTUS TWITTER ^ | Donald J. Trump

Posted on 11/09/2020 10:03:40 AM PST by Blogger

I am pleased to announce that Christopher C. Miller, the highly respected Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (unanimously confirmed by the Senate), will be Acting Secretary of Defense, effective immediately...Chris will do a GREAT job! Mark Esper has been terminated. I would like to thank him for his service.

Exactly!

He’s carrying on as though he both is and will continue to be our President.

Another thought would be it’s being done to corral the Pentagon in the event there were plans for the military to get involved.

Don’t get your hopes up too soon that Biden will be inaugurated to get your Buddy Comey in Barr’s job, for there will be plenty of legal maneuvering done along with recounts to determine the lawful outcome of the election.

Not sure how he can Prevail under the current circumstances. Short of Martial law and arresting members in Congress for conspiracy to commit treason. Nancy Pelosi will undoubtably select the next president as recounts will be intentionally slow. Democrats don’t have to win anything in court, they just have to slow things down to the point that it falls into Nancy Pelosi slap.

I agree with you. So many discrepancies.

I do not believe our forefathers meant for every state to run their election for PRESIDENT by all different criteria.

You are joking, right? Esper was and is a disloyal snake who justified [in his own twisted mind] his arrogant and mostly bizarre assaults on his boss. Trump should also fire the person or persons who shoved the Swamp Scum types like Mattis and Sessions and Barr and Yale Law Fag Wray across his desk. How can such selections be explained???? Not to mention the far more damaging lower level Obunga holdovers still infesting like roaches the DOJ, CIA, FBI, etc.

Actually, they did. Article II of the Constitution says the state legislatures would select their presidential electors as they see fit. Among the original 13 states, only 6 of them had a popular vote for President. The other 7 had their legislators choose the electors.

What did Esper do wrong? His replacement likes to tell jokes and make people laugh. Really - can someone tell me what Esper did wrong?

Also why this is an opportune time for our leader to fire the SecDef?

Or - will that get me zotted?

I confess I voted for Bush.

Dear comrade, Which other members of Trump’s cabinet, whom he appointed, should be erased, in your view, for disloyalty? It is, after all, an opportune time. I understand our leader is above criticism; I just want to know who else should disappear.

that scenario sounds logical to me, thanks for it. I hope it doesn’t have to go that far, but at this point we are in for a shitstorm one way or another. I will check out a reference made by someone else’ ——Seven Days in May-—hollywood film.

That's exclusive to picking electors. Nothing to do with how each state runs the election.

The 50% rule for Georgia is a good example of an "off the wall" how to.

I am saying this right now, The democrats will try to arrest him the second he’s not President anymore.

What do we do then, is my question.

Trump got 71mm real votes from Americans. They have 400mm guns and 8trln rounds of ammo. If there really was coup and say 10% of the 71mm voters decided to take up arms, what could the military do?

Just asking.
