I'd agree, but I think the actions needed are being taken (what he sent the message for and the secretary being gone). I'd support a separate thread just for military folks, but even talking to some out of band that I know don't expect a lot of their input or clarity on any of it in a public forum like that, so it might not be wise or worth it even creating a target like that for folks to google. Maybe keep military convo to the Trump cabinet thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If we survive this, there needs to be a lot of rules changes around the whole "Acting" title that is being abused right now. Time limits they can be acting. Also changes to authority and access to intelligence. Something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, civilians are allowed to discuss and have opinions on the military and it’s conduct. 4 hours ago, Mr. Sinister said: Pretty sure he was joking Definitely not. Every few months there seems to be a different scandal emerging from the armed forces, usually but not always stemming from its current ****ty civilian overseers. It gets drown out in the Trump thread, but things like a freaking (evidently beloved) captain of an aircraft carrier being sacked because he was trying to protect his people and (arguably) showed up a political appointee is some serious ****.

We are, but I would want military folks to add clarity or their take and odds are they won't while still in the military. It's one of the things I better understood as I got older is my opinion is an opinion and based on being a civilian. I'm all for bashing civilian leaders of the military for their scandals for starters, it can and will get fuzzy after that. Quote Definitely not.

If you make this thread, all I ask is it be clearly a thread about military scandals, and not leaving the door open for bashing the military itself. I know some folks here won't be able to help themselves, we have to self moderate. I hate what's going in with the VA, sexual assaults, and obvious examples of corruption involving some of these contractors. This is me speaking out loud here, not trying to control anything, this could be a good thing, could blow up in our face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 And odds of such a bill being passed by a Senate that won't even vote to convict a Republican of diverting government funds for use to coerce a foreign government into making a campaign contribution? More likely? They'll approve legislation to make Trump's appointees unfirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 And yet in the face of all of it, we still think an election will end this and he will abide by a result in which he does not win. Every time he can't do something, he does. Every time he destroys an institution designed to protect against someone like him, we say, "Oh boy in November we can vote him out", and every time it sounds further from reality. Hope I'm wrong. Best be ready. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest piece of garbage is McConnell. The Senate Majority Leader should not have the power they do. He has neutered the Senate so he can make a buck. Nothing but trumps **** boy. I hope the people of KY do the right thing finally and vote the piece of garbage out - but I am not holding my breath. At the very least, dems need to take back the Senate so this clear obfuscation of the constitution can stop. They need to immediately pass laws lessening some of the powers of the Majority Leader like laws preventing SCOTUS votes being put off for years. To your first statement - my hope is that he is publicly shamed and humiliated and eventually sent to prison. He will never see it as he will just blame everyone else. But his followers family will have to watch it. Not likely but a person can hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
