Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense, is publicly fretting that Donald Trump will retaliate against those in the deep state that sought to undermine his first term as President of the United States, telling the media that he thinks those worried about retaliation have a “legitimate fear”.
Esper recalled an alleged incident where Trump “…wanted to call back to active duty Adm. McRaven and Gen. McChrystal, to court-martial them, for some things that they allegedly said in in the public domain, and Milley and I had to talk the president out of doing that, for any number of reasons.”
The comments from the former Secretary of Defense come after Trump criticized retiring General Mark Milley last week for communicating with his Chinese counterparts “…to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.” Trump compared the betrayal by Milley to a “treasonous act.”
Media freak outs over President Trump’s criticism of the deep state are nothing new. A senior U.S. defense official communicating with a foreign military regarding the President’s thinking on diplomatic and military matters without authorization, on-the-other-hand, is a serious breach of protocol. Similarly, the corporate media has tried to stoke fear regarding plans to staff the government with political appointees who would implement the President’s agenda – something every presidential administration does.
In both instances, the corporate media is siding with anti-democratic elements in government who act against the will of the American people and the duly elected President.
Be afraid Democrat scum.
Be very afraid.
I don’t see a problem with this. Makes me want to vote for him even more. Put RFK jr in as AG and turn him loose on the deep state.
Why shouldn’t he?
I hope with good reason...I was furious when I heard what he had done, and even more furious that not a single person, Democrat OR Republican, even deigned to make a peep about it.
Unbelievable. But that is just ONE of the effects the military purges have had.
The fact that this potentially keeps pedocrats awake at night gives me absolute, unmitigated joy. If he wins, I absolutely do hope they lose sleep every night, waiting and watching and waiting to see if perhaps, at exactly 3:17 AM, the hammer drops and the bill comes due for all their corruption and malfeasance. And then come the frog marches in the dead of night.
Yes, that thought, Esper, is exactly what delights me.
That’s why I’m voting for him!
Not at all dumb. You would leave proven criminals who engaged in sedition and intelligence officials who worked to undermine the legitimate president in places? And to teach all their followers that there are no consequences?
Hard to think of anything more dumb than that.
re headline:
With great hope (but low expectations) for scores of scaffolds.
Count on it.
Something both the State and Trump need to learn.
If you try to kill the Devil, you had better not miss.
I don’t assume they will let it happen, they will do whatever it takes to keep him out of office. I also suspect that they will try the ultimate in their effort to remove him as a threat.
BRILLIANT ! Give that man a cigar !
It’ll be way before the next presidential election Mark. 😆
Because of these two “Marks”. I have lost all confidence in the Military.
Deep State better skedaddle off to Lower Schwablandia before it's too late.
Court-martialed, shot, and sent to the Russian front. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8p999FnZ7k

And
He says that like he he assumes the whole world agrees with him that it would be a bad thing. In reality, pretty much everyone who isn’t on welfare support stringing the government.
