Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

The memo you published earlier says that it is not up to individuals to question orders.

So the rank and file need to assume an order is lawful. So are you expecting generals, who have just been threatened will firing if they disagree, to start questioning?

What has happened to every single person that tried to argue with Trump? He either fires them or attempts to humiliate them.

The path is clear yet you seem oblivious to it. He called all the generals back to tell them the new order of things. Not a discussion. Not a transfer of ideas.

You think the law will put a stop to anything Trump wants? He jues repeatedly about the need to foing something, Portland being the latest example, and yet you seem to think he won't take the next step.

Rather than simply look if a line has been crossed, look at the direction of travel.

He very clearly wants to be a dictator and is running the county on that basis.

He has neutered the other, supposedly equal, branches of government. He is actively attacking any opponent and is now authorising the military to use full force on US citizens.

And still the army stands by and says 'well, if it was illegal, somebody somewhere would deal with it'

The country you put your life on the line to defend is being taken over from within. And none of those that were so worried about socialism, or gun rights, or federal overreach, has even muttered the slightest question.

He has literally threatened the top brass of the military today and nothing will be said. Because everyone is too scared, too sure that it will only impact others, too comfortable with they have that they dare not put it in jeopardy, to do anything about it.

And if you think Trump is going to stop here I have a bridge to sell you.

Laws? The man doesn't care about laws and his supporters don't care either. The media is completely subservient. Too focused on winning amongst themselves that chasing the truth or holding power to account.

The supreme court has indicated, and shown, that it is willing to review any law that get in his way.

The only thing standing in his way are the Democrats. So good luck with that

And a draft dodger who is above him

“He also took aim at the Pentagon's inspector general - which is investigating his conduct - saying the office "has been weaponised, putting complainers, ideologues and poor performers in the driver's seat.”

Sounds like he’s describing himself.

With little to no push back from an opposition party that is spineless without a leader or anyone who looks like they want to become a leader of an opposition.

The Democrats are just rolling over and letting MAGA take control and rewrite Americas past and write it’s future in fascism.

Lets face it, Trump has perverted the U.S justice system completely. He has SCOTUS on his side, he has the AG and the prosecutors there as well. The U.S military is obliged by its oath to the constitution to obey the orders of the president.

I don't see the U.S military justice system as having a leg to stand on as the organisation it belongs to is now commanded by Trump, even though supposedly, theoretically, it could find anyone charged with not obeying an order not guilty of the charge on the grounds that the order was illegal. The Military Justice system does not have an equal or higher standing than the Civil Justice system, it is subservient to the Civil Justice system as the U.S is based on a Civil Administration system, not a Military one.

The crunch factor in that is that the formulator of the order the U.S military was given to obey was Trump, the President, not Hesgeth the Sec of War. Hegseth is only the boy in the Pentagon, Trump is the C in C. The "what happens next - squeaky bum time" may be coming close for the U.S.

He Ain't getting it, ever.
