US Military sides with JOE BIDEN

[Tangmo]

Can they really do that? He is the commander in chief until Biden is sworn in. Can they resist an order like that without being court marshalled?

Maybe they can claim that they can't free recourses on so short notice or that they don't have them?

Yeah that's usually the way to go about it.

When it came time for instance for the chiefs and commanders to present their plan they didn't have on Trump's order to pull 12K troops out of Germany they said it's complicated, takes time, involves moving families too, means settling base leases and payments schedules and the like and so on and so on. While Trump fumed Congress that also opposes the withdrawal said they understood.

I'm sure the chiefs and commanders told Trump adequate security preparations meant the farewell ceremony souped up by Trump was just not possible and that if Trump was unhappy about it to write his congressman.

Except they're NOT active military

Joint Chief of Staff is not active military?

Why should we care whether the U.S. military sides with Biden or not? It doesn't matter whom they side with. They'll do their jobs.

Trump has already left the white house?

He left a year ago.

I always knew you and I had met previously btw.

I've spent the past 4 years having flashbacks to Caligula in fact.

But the parties were a hoot!

technically the US Military is siding with our Constitution and the rule of law.


it's Trump and Trump supporters that are fighting against those things.

The picture of troops in the capital is another example of how radically fast the Nazification of the USA is happening now.

How can you possibly explain such a stupid comment ?

 

[Rich2018]

All the same however I spotted your genius the first time I read a post by you.

I try to be modest in displaying it.

Billy Bob Clinton's were best cause of all the Romin' hands. Famous for his tongue lashings he was eh.

Effortless indeed.

Indeed and it's Biden and Biden supporters who are fighting for those same things as the military are up and down the ranks. We're all teammates on the same team.

Like the proverbial swan.

 

[Tangmo]

Like the proverbial swan.

The swan flaps a lot.

 

[notquiteright]

Yeah, except the last time was in an actual war.

In the words of some Americans forefathers- the British- 'Wait on it'....

 

[Rich2018]

The swan flaps a lot.

The proverbial swan is all smooth and serene above the surface, it's beneath the surface, where you cannot see, that's working like mad.

Only a civilian would make the statement it‘t Biden’s army. In this case it was President Trump who ordered the 25k onslaught for the weekend to Wensday. I said this before but for the record, Biden won more votes than anyone in history, including his old boss, so why with all that popularity would anyone need 25K troops at his inogeration?

To repel seditionists whipped up by Trump.

Of which their are sadly many delusional people, who're easily led.
