Trump’s Handpicked Joint Chiefs Chairman Once Gushed, ‘I’ll Kill For You, Sir’

Late Friday, Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump, along with his booze-soaked Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, removed the sitting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. C.Q Brown, and replaced him with a man who once eagerly pledged that he would “kill” for Trump if given the order.

The new head of the U.S. military is Air Force Lt. Gen. John D. Caine, whose only apparent qualification for the job is that he’s willing to follow every order given to him by Trump and not ask questions.

Trump announced Caine’s new job on Truth Social, writing, “Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan ‘Razin’ Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staf. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a ‘warfighter’ with significant interagency and special operations experience.”

Trump and Caine have a history together, with the convicted felon who now serves as president bragging that Caine once told him, ‘I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.”

Caine also ignored military protocol by once wearing a MAGA hat while on active duty in the Air Force.

The Daily Beast explains why Caine has been chosen to replace Brown:

Prior to his appointment during the Biden administration, Brown had been Air Force chief of staff since 2020, with Trump writing at the time that he was “a Patriot and Great Leader.” In his post on Friday, Trump reiterated that Brown is “a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader.”

Trump’s decision to fire Brown had reportedly been supported by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth since at least November, with the former Fox News host saying on The Shawn Ryan Show that month that Brown had a “woke” interest in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

A sycophant is now head of the U.S. military, which Trump has previously said could be used domestically if a president gives that order.

“He has pledged to recall thousands of American troops from overseas and station them at the U.S. border with Mexico,” PBS noted in October. “He has explored using troops for domestic policy priorities such as deportations and confronting civil unrest. He has talked of weeding out military officers who are ideologically opposed to him.”

“Trump’s vision amounts to a potentially dramatic shift in the role of the military in U.S. society, carrying grave implications for both the country’s place in the world and the restraints that have traditionally been placed on domestic use of the military.”

Will we see American troops on the streets in the days ahead? If Trump orders that, it sounds like Caine will eagerly comply and say to hell with the Constitution.

Vance Suggests Trump May Take Greenland By Force: ‘We Always Have Troops’

According to Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, the United States could easily overtake the nation of Greenland and its natural resources without having to send more members of the U.S. military to accomplish the mission because “we always have troops in Greenland.”

Fox host Shannon Bream asked Vance about Donald Trump’s obsession with the country and if a military invasion was planned to take control of it.

“What’s the deal with Greenland and the Panama Canal?” Bream inquired. “Are we using or considering use of military force in any of those situations?”

“No, look, we don’t have to use military force, Shannon,” Vance responded. “The thing that people always ignore is we already have troops in Greenland.”

“Greenland is really important for America strategically,” he continued. “It has a lot of great natural resources.”

Vance added that his “good friend” Donald Trump Jr. had recently paid a visit to Greenland.

“And you know what they told him?” Vance claimed. “They want to be empowered to develop, the people of Greenland want to be empowered to develop the resources there.”

“We also need to make sure that Greenland is properly cared for from an American security perspective,” he added. “The Danish government has not done a good enough job of securing Greenland.”

“I think there actually is a real opportunity here for us to take leadership, to protect America’s security, to ensure that those incredible natural resources are developed, and that’s what Donald Trump is good at. He’s good at making deals, and I think there’s a deal to be made in Greenland.”

The problem is that Greenland has already made it clear they don’t want to be under the control of the United States. They’re happy being protected by the Danes and aren’t looking for a new suitor.

Despite that, don’t be surprised if Trump does something strategically moronic and gets members of our military killed. After all, everything the tangerine shitgibbon touches dies.

WATCH A Retired General Put GOP Sen. John Kennedy In His Place

 

Republican Sen. John Kennedy (LA) got more than he bargained for when he tried to attack a retired general at a Senate hearing today.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Kennedy asked Retired Major General Randy Manner about Donald Trump’s mass deportation plan and accused him of favoring “open borders.”

“It makes you angry that most Americans don’t believe in open borders, doesn’t it?” Kennedy asked.

“Not in the slightest, sir,” Manner responded.

Kennedy then asked Manner about a remark he made to CNN on October 14.

“President Trump is not like any sane leader. I’m very proud of General Milley for saying that President Trump is a total fascist,” Kennedy quoted Manner saying. “The challenge is because most MAGA Republicans, they don’t understand what fascism is. The reality is that they are, in fact, fascists themselves.”

“Did I read that accurately?” Kennedy inquired.

“Senator, I am happy to discuss my personal perspectives with you separately at any time,” the general explained. “That’s not the purpose of the hearing today.”

Kennedy: “You think you’re smarter than the American people, don’t you?”

“Absolutely not, senator,” Manner replied. “I am here to discuss the use of the military as part of this mass deportation.”

“You think you’re more virtuous than the American people, don’t you, general?” Kennedy asked.

That’s when Manner let Kennedy know he wasn’t about to take any of his crap.

“Senator, I am insulted by your comment. Senator, for 35 years, I served my country with absolute honor and distinction, and I will continue to do so.”

Pentagon Preparing For Orders From Trump To Deploy Troops Against Americans

Officials at the Pentagon are currently holding high-level discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops on the homeland as part of his mass deportation program and for “domestic law enforcement,” according to a disturbing report from CNN.

Officials are now gaming out various scenarios as they prepare for an overhaul of the Pentagon.

“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?”

CNN’s Kristen Holmes told anchor Jake Tapper on Friday that Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Hagerty (R-TN) are among the contenders for top cabinet posts at agencies such as the State Department and Defense. They are reportedly meeting with Trump team transition leaders, and the president-elect is also making calls as he firms up plans for who he will appoint to many key agencies and departments.

Consider for just a moment the specter of uniformed troops patrolling the streets of U.S. cities, demanding to see ID cards and detaining anyone who doesn’t have proper credentials. It’s the very same thing that has been done by repressive regimes throughout history, including in Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s Italy.

Is such a show of force meant to reassure us, or is it planned as part of a larger crackdown on all dissent against Trump? After all, this is a man who doesn’t take criticism well.

Here’s the video from CNN:

Trump Slammed For D-Day 80th Anniversary Social Media Post After Calling Vets ‘Suckers’ And ‘Losers’

Convicted felon/former president Donald Trump thought he’d comment on the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing, but his remarks wound up falling flat and leading to reminders that he allegedly called those who gave their lives for the United States in battle “suckers” and “losers.”

On his financially-strapped Truth Social site, the disgraced ex-head of state wrote, “The men of D-Day will live forever in history as among the bravest, noblest, and greatest Americans ever to walk the earth. They shed their blood, and thousands gave their lives, in defense of American Freedom. They are in our hearts today and for all time.”

That didn’t sit well with many. After all, according to a 2020 report from Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic:

When President Donald Trump canceled a visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris, in 2018, he blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying that “the helicopter couldn’t fly” and that the Secret Service wouldn’t drive him there. Neither claim was true.

Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

The twice-impeached and multiply-indicted ex-president was blasted with derision on Twitter.
