He fired the leaders who had a backbone and replaced them with sycophants, who have no respect for the constitution and democracy.
I figured. Never saw the exact news but I find it troubling that it's that easy to change military leadership. Hopefully a portion of the troops understand the importance of fragging in a situation like this.
Most everything he has done would have easily been challenged, prevented, and or caused an impeachment if Congress was majority held by Democrats. It isn’t a difficult argument to say he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, or treason, against the US by abdicating his responsibilities to uphold the US constitution… in many areas; due process, equal rights, free speech, separation of church and state, the good faith funding and management of congressional established agencies within the executive… just to name a few.
Edit: also, destroying the US from within while cozying up to enemy nation states, that’s super treasonous… then there’s blackmailing Ukraine, again, and waging trade wars with allies.
Yup. Everything you said works for my brain. Hopefully my generation and the young people actually vote for people who want to change policy and don't get stuck in identity politics for the 10th straight year. Careful pragmatism will work for everybody with half a brain.
Where did all of those people go after being fired? Surely they can't be ok sitting idly by and watching this all unfold...
