Just hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a fiery, politically charged speech at Quantico, one of the Air Force’s most powerful commanders—Gen. Thomas Bussiere—called it quits.
Honestly, dishonorable discharge technically allows for a death sentence. If Trump orders a general to shoot American civilians and he refuses, that’s treason, so can be death sentence’d. I’d want to avoid the situation too.
Now if that ACTUALLY happened, at least which ever general with balls gets unalived is going to be a martyr and hopefully a symbol for the resistance. So it takes one guy to take that bullet and the country may never be the same. So I hope someone will do that instead of quitting.
It’s not complying if you resign. Difference is whether you’re replaced after refusing to kill people or before - but you’ll be replaced and the next guy will kill people regardless. If you quit before as a high profile individual, you can signal that something is off. If you don’t quit, you may get martyr’d. Which I think most people don’t want, especially anyone with family.
Worse, an insider reports that the generals were all monitored for signs of discomfort and disapproval during the speech. They’re being watched. Anyone not loyal to Trump first and foremost, is going out. Anyone who actually disobeys orders may or may not find their family deported to South America, Africa, whereever, as terrorists. I suspect some of these generals are currently more afraid for their families than you are.

Not. Trump literally has no such power to do anything like this to Americans.

I suspect you are way more afraid of Loserapist Trump than normal Americans who know their rights and can think clearly are. Trump wants you do be afraid. His power depends primarily on you being a spineless coward instead of a proud American who inherited the oldest democracy in the world. You are playing right into his hands.
Normal Americans are already being deported. Look at the list of things that make you a terrorist now. Good luck, I’m watching with pop corn because people like you aren’t willing to admit the rule of law is dead.
The kind of patriots that founded our country. They had families too, and they took dangerous stands so their families wouldn’t have to live under tyranny.
Problem is, neither do the judges it seems. I wouldn’t be surprised if something almost as bad as this happens, and the courts side with Trump and friends.
I forgot “vapid influencerati” even use that term, I first heard it on reddit years ago when someone thought it was funny. I swear there was more funny/interesting context to the post that I don’t remember anymore. It was before mass censorship of “bad words” was so prolific. People were still using “kill”, “fuck”, “shit” etc.
And yet judges keep ruling and the administration backs down. The concentration camp in Florida, closed. I’m not saying they aren’t flouting it left and right, but it is still there and people are recording what they are doing for when they get thrown out.
You still have ice out masked in force, still have camps, still have tarriffed the world, still have open bribery, and still have chilling lawsuits against media. All of which was ruled not cool by judges at some point, and either just done anyway or overruled at the supreme court.
The general would face a court martial or whatever that process is that could lead to a death sentence, and if that process results in a death sentence for refusing to shoot American citizens then absolutely nothing matters.

The president can’t force a general to do that.
Nobody fucking knows the law anymore -_-
The law doesn’t matter anymore. It’s been established by the supreme court that a sitting republican president can break any law.
If it doesn’t matter anymore then ignore the fascists and tell them no.
You really like this “comply in advanced out of fear” rhetoric don’t you?

GTFO with your shameful defeatist rhetoric.

Nah this mentality of capitulating to fascists is a stupid and cowardly way to think.
Like I said, these people have families. That specific general said he’s retiring “because of family matters”.
The fuck kinda father is going to put his own children and (if he has them) grandchildren into danger?

Were most of them not regular people? I’m talking about generals, people currently being surveilled for any disloyalty.

The courts are not siding with Trump most of the time.
The rulings don’t stop him.
We shouldn’t let them stop us either.
Isn’t it the judges who would then issue orders of contempt, or whatever it’s called, calling for the arrest of people who don’t follow their rulings?
~Not rhetorical.~
Apparently arrests only happen to the non rich and non powerful.
Trump has done things that would land you or me in prison for the rest of our lives.
I think judges are too cowardly to arrest the president
Explain ICE’s actions. Explain them now!
All of these illegal actions by ice sure as fuck are going to get investigated when the adults get back in power.
You don’t get what’s happening, do you?
Oh I’m well aware. But everyone on here seems like they want to just accept defeat.
The United States history in the civil war, a recent insurrection, and other events, might have a thing or two to say about that opinion.
Itt would be an “official act.” This one can as long as the DOJ can weaponize against enemies of fascism
Watch
Wow what a good peasant you are!
Quit it. You’re not some vapid influencerati on YouTube

You only need to follow lawful orders. Ordering the murder of civilians is not lawful. Because the act of murdering civilians is illegal.
We’re talking Trumpistan, not the United States of America tho.
Well in this made up world they can just shoot trump too right? Why are we all acting like the law is already over?
I mean, look around? Not saying people are not at risk of the law, but the rule of law is dead in the us.
And yet judges keep ruling and the administration backs down. The concentration camp in Florida, closed. I’m not saying they aren’t flouting it left and right, but it is still there and people are recording what they are doing for when they get thrown out.
Uhhh yeah you might want to re-check the most up to date news on that one.
You still have ice out masked in force, still have camps, still have tarriffed the world, still have open bribery, and still have chilling lawsuits against media. All of which was ruled not cool by judges at some point, and either just done anyway or overruled at the supreme court.
It only goes one way, bud. Don’t ever expect it to go both ways with these people.
TheSupreme Court will bow to crybaby Shitler
The general would face a court martial or whatever that process is that could lead to a death sentence, and if that process results in a death sentence for refusing to shoot American citizens then absolutely nothing matters.
Nope and nope.
Then the general should defend the constitution more directly and aggressively.
That’s the the thing, they won’t be “american citizens” they will be radical ANTIFA terrorists, so it will be okay to shoot them
