Stop me if you've heard this before. Officials within the United States government are conspiring against Donald Trump to undermine whatever decisions he may make. It might as well be 2017 again.
According to a new report from Natasha Bertrand, who was such a purveyor of the Russian collusion hoax that she was nicknamed "Fusion Natasha" after Fusion GPS, Pentagon officials are coordinating how they'll respond if Trump orders U.S. troops to assist with illegal immigration:
Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically and fire large swaths of apolitical staffers, defense officials told CNN.
....
“We are all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is that we don’t know how this is going to play out yet,” one defense official said.
Trump’s election has also raised questions inside the Pentagon about what would happen if the president issued an unlawful order, particularly if his political appointees inside the department don’t push back.
“Troops are compelled by law to disobey unlawful orders,” said another defense official. “But the question is what happens then – do we see resignations from senior military leaders? Or would they view that as abandoning their people?”
The bureaucracy truly lives in a world unto itself. Those who inhabit it believe they have the innate right to override elected officials despite the powers in question being designated to those elected officials. There should not be any "informal discussions" about how the Department of Defense will respond to orders from Trump because the only right answer is to obey them.

> do we see resignations from senior military leaders?
The careerists in charge would never relinquish their rank for mere principles.
This time there should be no hesitation to can their asses.
The country has been overrun by a hostile invasion and these buttwipes are worried about being “mean”?
Deployment to the border is not “domestic” policing. If there’s one thing an army does it’s to protect a country’s border from Invasion.
There’s nothing “humane” about letting the Southwest be overrun by enemy aliens, and they are just that.
“It might as well be 2017 again.”
except this time, i suspect numerous military heads will roll for insubordination and treason ... and they don’t get to sue, either ...
Sounds like time for some retirements and a new cadre of flag officers.
Same old Deep State. But Trump 2.0 is certainly more aware, and more savvy.
Fire any general or admiral or official who dares to obstruct the Commander-in-Chief. Replace them with Marine Corps sergeants and Navy chiefs if you must.
Cut out the rot before it spreads.
Don’t just fire those in charge defying order, lock em up in the brig.
Trump has the house and the senate. It will be different this time.
It will be different this time. Perhaps they need to accept it or get out of the way.
There won't be.
Trump will be arriving in DC with a mandate. A popular vote victory and an EV landslide.
And, lessons learned.
He's going to destroy everyone who stands in his way.
Actually, it’s time to downsize. For each 2 flag officers ‘dumped’...I’d only fill one of the positions with the same rank....the other would be a lesser rank.
Just a humble guess....by the time you count enlisted and officers leaving voluntarily in Feb timeframe....probably gets into the 5,000 range. The forced crowd will come after that....probably also in the 5,000 range.
That official needs to be subpoenaed. Let's hear them repeat that under oath. The military brass punished members who disobeyed unlawful orders to take the Jim Jones Jab, and those who ordered that punishment need to be sent to Leavenworth.
The Trump team is way ahead of them I suspect. I have a feeling Trump will be working 20 hours a day for the first while. Many people need to be replaced with Maga.
They are planning something now—I fear. coup?
Trump has a lot of work ahead of him. He can’t waste even 30 minutes of his administration.
.......
Amen. It’s going to be fun to watch. Full court press 24/7.
TRUMP has a Divine assignment that was activated on Trump’s Pre-Inauguration Jan 19th 2017

Lol they are pointing out who should be fired by the CIC yes?-)
Not gonna happen. Trump's victory was so decisive, he totally eviscerated his opposition on ALL sides of the aisle.
I stand dumbfounded at how thoroughly Donald Trump dominated this electoral cycle.
There is no capable resistance.
Get on board the Trump Train now or get TF outta the way!
Trump 2.0 is gonna be brutal.
This is the way.
They all did solemnly swear that they will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that they will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that they take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that they will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which they enter. So of course they will defend the border and expel the illegals. If not then they will be fired and possibly prosecuted if they try to resist instead of resigning. Invasions of America are illegal.
Exactly. He destroyed the Dems and GOPe. 2025 will be a transformative year.
