We may hear it sooner or later, and with Trump's "dream team" of Cabinet and adviser picks, it'll probably be sooner.
People like RFK, Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Gaetz, Marco Rubio, Elon Musk, and Pete Hegseth (et. al.) shouldn't be allowed within even sniffing distance of a national office yet Cheeto has nominated/named them to seats at the big table.
Yet, as rancid as his personnel choices may be, his plan to purge the U.S. military of senior officers may be worse.
From Reuters -
Exclusive: Trump's team drawing up list of Pentagon officers to fire, sources say
Members of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team are drawing up a list of military officers to be fired, potentially to include the Joint Chiefs of Staff, two sources said, in what would be an unprecedented shakeup at the Pentagon.The planning for the firings is at an early stage after Trump's Nov. 5 election victory and could change as Trump's administration takes shape, said the sources, who are familiar with the Trump transition and requested anonymity to speak candidly about the plans.[snip]The second source said the incoming administration would likely focus on U.S. military officers seen as connected to Mark Milley, Trump's former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.Milley was quoted in the book "War" by Bob Woodward, which was published last month, calling Trump "fascist to the core" and Trump's allies have targeted him for perceived disloyalty to the former president."Every single person that was elevated and appointed by Milley will be gone," the second source said.
This scheme seems, well, *familiar.*
Some observers consider Cheeto's picks to be a "dream", but the linked observer at WaPo was probably being sarcastic. She's a bit of a wiseass.
Especially since my first reaction to this list was "it's a nightmare".
My next reaction was "the only person who has dreams like this is Vlad...and only if those dreams are wet."
Speaking of Vlad, his initial plan if Cheeto ever became POTUS again may have been to invade the western U.S. That may still be the plan, but he's frittered away so much of Russia's military on his invasion of Ukraine that may no longer be an option.
He still has nukes, so he may simply turn the western U.S. into a radioactive slag heap.
It's not like Cheeto would do anything about it. He might say "well, I have bone spurs" while thinking "well, most of them didn't vote for me."
