    Well the last one withheld Afghanistan troop numbers from him, and there were reports Mark Milley staged somewhat of a soft coup as chairman of the joint chiefs. Trump’s gonna be paranoid about bringing in anyone already embedded in these departments.

      Those heroes did what America needed to keep the filthy traitor from getting more American intelligence killed off.

      This time the traitor will be able to kill Americans for his real bosses with zero impunity. Congrats magats.

          Nope. They did their part to try and save America from the enemy within.

          Unfortunately that treasonous enemy is back and is now carrying out its final attack to finish destroying America.

            That enemy is a duly elected representative. They are required to follow any order he gives that isn’t illegal.

              Also it’s hilarious you’re pretending that a fucking faux newz host is somehow a valid fucking choice for anyone except the enemies of the United States.

                The traitor won the popular vote and is the presumptive winner of the electoral college vote.

                The constitution isn’t going to save us from this second Trump term.
