We’re back to 2016 and that means the federal bureaucracy is plotting how to defy the elected president. And since all of this is also going on in D.C., they’re leaking their deliberations to the mainstream media.
Pentagon officials are holding informal discussions about how the Department of Defense would respond if Donald Trump issues orders to deploy active-duty troops domestically and fire large swaths of apolitical staffers, defense officials told CNN.
That’s not their job. It’s not their job to preemptively contemplate how they would respond to orders that have not actually been given or gone through the pipeline, especially when the entire purpose of the discussions seem to be about how to defy those orders.
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.
They’re supposed to be wargaming scenarios in which China attacks Taiwan, not in which the president gives them an order.
Defense officials are also scrambling to identify civilian employees who might be impacted if Trump reinstates Schedule F, an executive order he first issued in 2020 that, if enacted, would have reclassified huge swaths of nonpolitical, career federal employees across the US government to make them more easily fireable.
This isn’t what employees who answer to a civilian government do. This is what a bureaucracy trying to protect itself and block the will of the people does.
Gordon says
Proving that the federal bureaucracy exists not to express the will of the people but to thwart the will of the people.
William Wallace says
Alarmingly paranoid as President Trump has given no indication of using American troops against the people. That level of stupidity should warrant firing in and of itself
internalexile says
And, as in genuine 3rd world countries, when the military turns against you and defies you, it’s over.
CTripps says
The current military has been brainwashed into believing the American citizen is the #1 national security threat. Look up their Insider Threat training slides and they depict white grandmothers in wheelchairs, mothers pushing a baby stroller, and average business man, all white, as potential terrorist while in the same slide the Habib-wearing person is the wrong answer for ‘the threat’
It is beyond insane.
This started before Obama and continues today.
CowboyUp says
Trump hasn’t, but the biden administration recently authorized the US military to fire on American civilians. Notice these bureaucrats weren’t having these meetings on how to disobey such orders then. I expect the biden admin to rescind the authorization before Jan 20, but they apparently expect Trump to reauthorize it if they do. Such gross insubordination does warrant firing and prosecution under the UCMJ.
cat says
Wait, didn’t Biden (Obama 4th term) admin just issue a directive that troops could fire on American civilians in aid of the. police? Huh? Thats wasn’t Trump admin directive. So, what gives here?
SteveFInSC says
Well, they are preparing for the insurrection they know the Democrats will begin as soon as Trump is in office. They assume that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act and send troops to the various Democrat-run cities to stop the Democrat operatives from burning them down. At that point, they will say, “See, we told you Trump was a Fascist who would use the military against his political enemies!” They will then refuse to follow his orders. Trump needs to fire virtually all the senior officers in the military on day one and reinstate everyone fired by Obama and Biden. He also needs to invite many retired senior officers to return to active duty. He will also need to promote many junior officers above their peers due to their patriotism and loyalty to the country. His staff needs to be identifying the proper officers and retirees now, so they can be brought on duty ASAP.
world@70 says
Gov. Agency workers, especially those in authority under the Biden/Harris administration are polishing up their resumes in anticipation Trump’s first few days in office. Some may even be in nervous consultation with their legal teams.
However it goes, I suspect there will be a boost in valium and Xanax sales.
Jeff Bargholz says
I figure those lowlifes will learn they’re impotent and America hates them this time around in term Trump. I’m pretty sure he learned from his last go around not to show mercy to pitiless scumbags. I think they’re all going to take it up the ass, as they deserve.
I think he should make them all say “thank you sir, may I have another” as they get butt rammed repeatedly.
internalexile says
Jeff, how do you really feel?
Rouge1 says
And ” the beatings will continue until moral improves “.
Jeff Bargholz says
Sounds like the old British Navy. 😛
CowboyUp says
Our navy and many merchant mariners used flogging too, in the sailing days. Bosuns carried a stick to speed up slowpokes.
Bumper sticker I saw on a construction work truck : “Have You Flogged Your Crew Today?”
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, being in the American Navy used to be brutal before the day of tranny Admirals and DEI. There’s a reason they used to Shanghai drunken louts. Because nobody wanted to enlist!
Now the Navy is a Village People song.
Please, President Trump, piss those decks clean!
Thomas E. Warwick says
First we start with the admirals and generals. There are more “flag rank” officers in the U.S. Military right now than were in service at the close of W.W. II. The expensive and very plush perks these grifters get total enough in dollars to equip a full squadron of F-18’s or to build a new ice breaker for the USCG.. And they do absolutely nothing to further the interests of the United States. Below the “flags” take every field-grade and drop them one rank for five years. Clean out the service academies. Fire every service academy graduate from now and for the last five years….they are nothing but a “woke” infection. That should be a good start.
Condor says
The entire Pentagon bureaucracy and all services should be put on notice to preserve records (everything, including aliases used for official/govt business on commercial channels). Hopefully Trump and team appoint someone with the cojones to go after those who have committed seditious and treasonous acts over the past 4 years and put them in the dock. There will be many who will need to swap their uniforms and suits for orange jumpsuits.
Kit_Jefferson says
Fire them all, fire them all, the long and the short and the tall.
CTripps says
Proof positive the federal government and its current military are the extremists.
Condor says
To add to the long to-do list for the incoming Trump administration, immediate action should be taken to restore the positions/rank of those who were forced out of the military (plus back pay or full compensation if not wanting to re-enter) for not complying with the unconstitutional vaccine mandate and other “offenses” of objecting to the diktat of the Biden regime’s wokesters. Anyone responsible for those terminations should be fired AND prosecuted to the fullest extent. No more messing around with half measures (such as just letting them retire with their federal pensions). They can earn a little pension money from prison and forfeit the rest to compensate those whose careers they destroyed. There will be no peace and no restoration of the Republic (or any confidence by the citizenry in USG institutions) without a reckoning and full measures of justice for the severe damage they have produced over the past 4 yrs (and during Obama’s terms as well).
MuggsSpongedice says
They fear for their jobs and the power handed to them that they have abused and misused – President Trump may have to use the military to round them up – that would be popcorn news entertainment – the 1960’s cold war movie including “Dr. Strangelove” and “Seven Days In May” had renegade military command attempting to seize power in the USA – a junta – a coup d’etat – meanshile people do not want to admit we have been in a coup d’etat since the pLandmeic and controls was unleashed on the USA citizens as well as globally and the rigging and stealing of the 2020 election and the 2022 election in states like Arizona.
We have thwarted that coup because USA is dedicated to YHVH, GOD of the Bible and Israel is the Apple of YHVH’S Eye.
As USA goes so goes the world! Conspiracy theories of yore are conspiracy facts today!
No mask or tin foil hats needed.
glpage says
As commander in chief, doesn’t he have the power to fire any military official who refuses to perform any lawful order?
Thomas E. Warwick says
President Harry Truman did exactly that. He fired MacArthur for gross dereliction and mopery-with-intent- to-creep.
Rouge1 says
They should be war gaming the unemployment line. Get a real job and no you can’t work for deepstate contractors.
Kerry says
More proof that our military has been bought and paid for by the American Communist Party, aka Democrats and they are officially the enemy of the country and the people! I pray that President Trump wipes the floor with all who have been derelict of their duties to America and sends them to the hell hole prisons that they deserve for the rest of their putrid lives. They should all be sh*tting their pants as we speak!
Joe says
If the Pentagon does it then it would be called treason, you know, hung by the neck until dead.
They are subservient to the civilians in this country!
Intrepid says
To Admiral Fakewoman Levine:
I would start packing. Your Halloween 5th grade charade is over. Your friends should get out as well.
Trump will be commander in Chief as of Jan 20th. He is your new boss along with your daisy friends’boss. It’s not going to be pretty when the pink slips go out.
Personally I can’t wait for the little kid dress up pretend world you live in to come crashing down.
Normalcy is a good thing.
