Yes, because it's not like we have freedom of speech anymore.

Free speech and election integrity were both stolen from us by Cuck Suckerborg.

You can’t suspend a General.

The title is BS.

You can suspend a retired General who has a contract with the DoD.

Not quite sure where “doctor” Jill Biden fits in the chain-of-command that would require a military reprimand.

Good point.

The left loves to talk about “free speech” and things like that, ONLY when it benefits them. The rest of the time and when they have power, they are the WORST when it comes to censoring, deplatforming, firing, smearing people (example: General Flynn in the liberal MSM), threatening, forced propagandizing.

It's the left that forces people to comply, pushed their crap into the work place with mandatory training (sociopolitical propaganda) and is the most intolerant, least inclusive and diverse (other than blacks, women and LGBTQIA).

Most conservatives tolerate a Michael Moore, even if they disagree. They understand the need and right to free speech and expression. But the left, they will frigging hit the delete button in a second and then cry about their rights and freedoms.

If he’s retired how can he be suspended?

As usual, Axios published an article that looks Ike it was written by an eighth grader. The whole "three star general" part is sort of incidental. He is/was a contracted leadership coach working for the military, but also was a three star general and former Army spokesman.

Frankly, if you are a former top level military spokesman, and your job is to mentor military officers, you should expect blowback if you publicly make fun of the CinC's wife, even if the stuck up bint thoroughly deserves it.

Where does Jill Biden stand in the Chain of Command? Nowhere.

If he’s retired how can he be suspended?

ANY service member who retired from active duty (officer or NCO) is technically still IN the military. They are simply on the retired rolls, which you can think as a sort of permanent reserve status. As long as you’re drawing retirement pay (really a retainer more than a pension), you are on the hook to be recalled, and as of now, still subject to the UCMJ if the military so wishes to prosecute (I heard there is a court case that is disputing this, but haven’t heard the outcome). As for involuntary recall, there are 3 categories:

Category 1 are retirees who are within 5 years of their retirement date. These are the folks who would be recalled first.
Category 2 are retirees who are post 5 years of their retirement date, but not yet reached the age of 65. These folks would be recalled second in priority, unless they have unique skills that are needed.
Category 3 are retirees who are over the age of 65. IIRC, folks who retired due to medical disabilities are also in this category. Folks in this category are usually not going to be recalled (too old or infirm), unless they have unique skills that are needed.

Remember, being recalled is to fill holes in the force structure. BUT the military doesn’t need 60yr old riflemen. Folks who get recalled are typically going to backfill into administrative roles and into training cadre roles to free up younger, fitter troops for combat. They will also fill in senior leadership positions for hastily re-activated units.

That’s my understanding, and that deriding the Commander in Chief remains actionable under the USCMJ (not that that stopped plenty of generals when Trump was President.) I’m wasn’t aware that the prohibition extended to rando “doctors” in the President’s family

That wasn’t mocking Jill, it was mocking Ketanji Brown-Jackson.

I wonder if he violated any provisions of the contact.

"Glad to see you finally know what a woman is," Volesky said.

Sheesh, anyone with half a brain can see that the General wasn’t referring to Mrs. Biden, but was taking a jab at Joe Biden’s Supreme Court appointee’s remark about not being able to define what a woman was without being a biologist. Being stupid and thin skinned is no way to go through life.

Jill with a stethoscope would be funny
Since she has a PhD in education
But insists on having Dr before her nane

“If he’s retired how can he be suspended?”

In 1952, Red Williams was called from a list of inactive reserves to serve in the Korean War.

On Jan. 9, 1952, Williams was called from a list of inactive reserves to serve in the Korean War. He had not flown a plane for seven years, but passed his physical and was recalled on active duty on May 2, 1952 as a Marine Corps captain.

These misfits described more than half the country as, “racist, deplorables and extremists”, but don’t even think about mocking Jill Biden.

Has anyone seen the nuclear football? Would Biden have an Empty brief case?

That briefcase by his side just contains several packs of sanitary wipes and a half dozen Depends adult diapers!

One of the reasons for abortion is to blackmail the fathers into marriage. Spread your legs, get a husband.
