Looks like Trump is getting ready to fire Esper


?s=21


Even Trump is now calling @EsperDoD #Yesper. And Trump is now further humiliating Esper, for humiliating himself for Trump. This entire administration is a disgusting circular firing squad.



Trump requires people to bend the knee to him but when they do, he treats them with contempt and humiliates them for being a toady. He is one messed up sonofabitch.

Not very strong to Trump’s diseased mind. A Patriot to American history.

So that there is nothing done. Someone has to tell him no somewhere down the line. And I suspect that rank and file military would not obey attack orders against the people again after that DC bible-waving event.

the Curtain of Reality,and he does not want to spend his days in a Federal Lock-up as well as losing his fortune to Defense Lawyers.

This is not going to end very nice for dozens of Trump Appointee's.

Civil Damage suits will or are coming in the tens of thousands against the People whom called in the Military to beat the hell out of Citizens.

Fascist cockroaches fear the truth. If we shine a light on the darkness and keep an eye out for one another, we got a chance.

Going by Dump’s illegal and incompetent selections over the past 3 years, some undigestible fragment pulled from Steve Bannon’s droppings will be sworn in on a “temporary” basis to avoid any embarrassing vetting. I don’t think it will do any evil or make any difference for Dumpy as the Joint Chiefs swore allegiance to the Constitution.

Standing up to when Dump wants to use the military on US citizens is good policy.

I, too, look forward to Jan. 21, 2021.
