Among those being mentioned for Trump’s defense secretary are Christopher Miller, who served temporarily during his administration, Michael Flynn and Mike Pompeo.
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy.
A circle of appointees independent of Trump’s political operation steered him away from ideas that would have pushed the limits of presidential power in his last term, according to books they’ve written and testimony given to Congress. Most were gone by the end. In a new term, many former officials worry that Trump would instead surround himself with loyalists unwilling to say no.
Trump has raised fresh questions about his intentions if he regains power by putting forward a legal theory that a president would be free to do nearly anything with impunity — including assassinate political rivals — so long as Congress can’t muster the votes to impeach him and throw him out of office.
Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.
What is dictatorial about closing the borders?
Yep, very true. During his first term, we kept thinking some unhinged liberal nut from antifa or blm or such would make an attempt- thankfully noone ever did- God protect Trump while he runs and hopefully wins again, and during his term. Lord knows our country needs to stay the hand of the left’s “fundamental change” of the nation!
Please Note:
The head of the Military in the Republic is the Commander in Chief whose the elected President of the United States. That election gives him powers, those powers include command of the Military and certain rights to suspend, temporarily, individual liberty in times of national crisis.
Those powers are NOT the right of other individuals to usurp. Doing so is Sedition, and should trigger an immediate insurrection vote in Congress, afterward could be seen as Treason.
NBC is announcing to the Public that components of the government of the government, by the government, and for the government, in combination with a political party whose funding is mostly from a foreign nation (see Act Blue) is publicly stating that they are planning to act against the will of the American People. They are announcing in advance, that the US Civil War II will proceed upon the election of Donald Trump and any attempt to reform Government.
Quentin Fulks , Biden deputy campaign manager, said on The Weekend MSNBC,
“The real winner is Joe Biden. Because whoever emerges and whoever is the “winner”, we are going to have the contest that we want against the freedom and democracy that Joe Biden is fighting to protect and what the MAGA republicans are trying to do to roll it back.”
LA Times Trumps Lost Cause, a kind of gangster cult, won’t go away.
Democrats projection ALWAYS tells us what they are thinking and planning.
Like planting them in Dem protest groups to incite the groups to riot and commit crimes? Then intentionally holding the military back to allow the riots to develop?
“Exactly. Wouldn’t you kill Hitler if you had the chance?”
When I was young I believed the answer to this question was “yes”. Now, the answer is ‘NO’. Why? Because the world would just raise up another tyrant that would pursue war (look at Joe Biden) and the next time they may be patient enough to win and through the world back into darkness. No, Hitler has to be in any time line to remind people of what to fight against, what it looks like. Destroying history is a far bigger evil, as people will continue to fall for the same traps, that letting Hitler live.
The left, BLM, Antifa, NAZI’s (yes they were left wing nuts), the current DNC, and democrats have all supported destruction of history and historical reminders in the country. Historically, that’s a promise of another Hitler, that’s how I see it now.
First, they are doing this and there is not the slightest indication Trump would do any such thing.
They will just make this up for the next year and beyond.
I’m certain there will be deep fakes from the intelligence community used against Trump.
Fake audio for sure. Fake plans for a dictatorship. Fake involvement with an underage girl. Fake plots and payoffs from Russia, of course. Fake medical evidence of dementia.
They already are starting this stuff. Plus massive election fraud with harvesting and mail in ballots.
And if Trump wins, they will contest the election.
Possibly riots this Summer because it seemed to help them last time. That means a random incident turned into a national racial crisis.
I would say 90% or more of this will happen.
They know what’s coming. They’re not wrong. Trust me they all know he’s still the President too. Nancy Pelosi just let the cat out of the bag last week. 😆
Just thinking if the Davos Crew didn’t want commercial flight, the idea that the FAA is hiring up people with severe intellectual abilities, and psychiatric ‘disablities’ would certainly curtail activity. I keep wondering is it me or are there really more instances of flight catastrophes?

THIS. They don’t want the ‘common people’ flying.
N-i-c-e comeback.
Sometimes they are fun to have around. Enjoy.
What are the Democrats planning militarily?
Is that why Austin did a disappearing act?
How long is it gonna take to treat his “post-op infection?”
Wasn't she the coed who was killed in "Animal House?" And Otter and the guys took her roommate and her sisters to the blacks-only bar ..."do you mind if we dance wif yo' dates?"
They need a reality check. Got one in the White Assisted Living House now.
Was that the one with Ted Danson?
😂
Now, as we thankfully face the meager remains of Biden’s ghastly WH residency, exhilarated by President Trump’s rightful return to office, the calculating Biden is deviously prompting his media lackeys and weaponized govt agencies in a sinister attempt to try to hurt Trump.
Biden is not going away easily.
He is intent on manipulating his remaining govt power, to include Bidenizing the US
military to kow-tow to his and the Biden Crime Family’s financial and political demands.
i’m already voting for trump, you don’t have to sell me.
It’s like Satanism, except they make the Sign of the Goatse.
