“Treason”.
A former State Department official has warned that deep state insiders and elements of the military are planning to derail Trump’s presidency should he win the election.
On Sunday, NBC reported that “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” are planning to use lawfare and other tactics to block Trump from exercising power on day one of his return to the Oval Office.
According to the article, these insiders will go all out “to foil any efforts to expand presidential power,” even if Trump has been given a mandate to do so by the American people.
“Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November,” states the article. “That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.”
However, critics say that the plan is clearly part of an effort to have the military override Trump’s constitutional authority as president.
“Never forget this tweet for the rest of your life,” wrote Mike Benz, executive director for Foundation For Freedom Online and former State Department official.
“This is an admitted plan, in advance, for the military to no longer observe the military chain of command. This is military-run government. This is a plan to end civilian-run government,” he added.
Commentator Michael Malice suggested that the plan was tantamount to “treason”.
Others agreed that the plot amounted to a clear indication that the establishment was ready to resort to treason to stop Trump fulfilling any kind of democratic mandate.
You're literally admitting to a group plotting treason. You realize that, right? And that you are admitting to being an accessory to it.
Just thought you should know that and you may want to go read up on the penalties.
Another respondent pointed out that the woman credited with organizing this plan, Mary B. McCord, is coordinating an “effort to strip Trump of his power as commander in chief.”
McCord is an ardent anti-Trump deep state asset, having approved FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page, a former Trump campaign aide.
Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Military has pursued increasingly inane ‘woke’ policies that have severely impacted recruitment figures.
Last week, it was revealed that the number of new white U.S. Army recruits had dropped from 44,042 in 2018 to just 25,070 in 2023.
They work for the executive branch right? Fire them, fire lots of them. Pursue them with criminally if they are shown abusing their power. They’re not special or entitled, they’re to do a job as demanded by their leadership. Or work somewhere else.
just like they did during trump’s first term... nothing new here, move along.
This is the new BS narrative and it’s everywhere. The military loved Trump.
Two-tiered Justice. May as well get this over with soon, but I don’t understand why they just don’t cheat again instead of start Civil War 2. Also, is the military really going to turn against Trump, a guy who has their back, at the behest of a bunch of pedophiles, queers, and transsexuals?
Watch out, the FR “spelling brigade” is out in force today, Attacking for inane reasons OP’s it doesn’t like.
Remember that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley had his own secret agreement with China to warn them before any U.S. action against them. He was a double agent working for our greatest military enemy.
The word treason is often misused, but I think it applies here, and he had no accountability.
No. Nuremberg them all. Hang them in the public square.
I said the Military was planning to go Rogue
What are they gonna do? Burn their bras?
>>> “to foil any efforts to expand presidential power”
It’s not expanding presidential power they’re worried about, it’s restoring constitutional limits on administrative bureaucrats they find so terrifying.
The penalty for treason is death and there is no appeal.............
<< planning to use lawfare and other tactics to block Trump from exercising power on day one >>
Same as they did last time around.
Well I’m sure the current ‘defenders of our democracy’ will be doing everything in their power to thwart anything that unconstitutional! (sarcasm tag available upon request).
Unfortunately, ‘treason’ is defined in the Constitution. And that is the only definition that matters.
Our founding Fathers knew that the word ‘treason’ had been misused many times throughout English history, so they wanted to nail it down to a specific occurrence..................
Brings to mind why we have the Second Amendment!
The Kenyan’s boyz have been trying to overthrow Trump since he started to run for President. That’s why the bass turds are accusing our side of “insurrection” and all kinds of other phony commie booschidt. They always accuse us of what they are doing. As long as we’ve still got the 2nd Amendment, we can make their “insurrection” fun and it won’t be with BS hearings either.
As chief of the armed forces he needs to clean house day 1 and instill men who are loyal to his orders.
“This is the new BS narrative and it’s everywhere. The military loved Trump.”
Colonel Vindman tried to have President Trump removed from office (both figuratively and or literally).
JFK? Anyone?
